Let's dare to dream

ll

Rapunzel and Eugene were approaching Varian's house.

The princess was excited to show him everything they had discovered in the week.

There were parts of Demanitus's journal that she had decoded herself and she was proud to have learned another language. She also wanted to show her friend what she had done to her and Eugene the full investigation to support them.

-I did not know that Demanitus was someone that deep, I mean, yes he was someone with complicated words but, it really opened his heart in this-

Rapunzel said as she opened the diary and looked back at Zhan Tiri's drawing

-Well, in your defense, not much can be said about someone whose first impression is a monkey in a diaper so ...-

But Eugene couldn't finish saying something because they saw Varian running towards them with a scared face.

At first he passed them by but Eugene grabbed it from the top of his shirt and put it in front of his sight.

-kid what's wrong with you?-

Varian kept insisting on leaving so Eugene held him back with one of his arms

-Agh, Eugene, let go of me, it's urgent, I must go see my father, there is something ...-

Rapunzel reached out to calm him down and he stopped squirming to escape.

She put her hands on his shoulders and asked:

-Wow Varian what's up? Does your father need help?-

Varian was breathing heavily and responded hastily

-There... There is something in my house, There was an earthquake, there was a lot of smoke, a part of the roof is broken, there is someone in my house who came out of nowhere-

Rapunzel and Eugene looked at each other confused and tried to reassure the boy.

After a few minutes they assured him that surely everything was fine and they went in the direction of Varian's House while he kept a good distance and waited for them outside.

The couple entered the house and as soon as they entered they confirmed what Varian was not exaggerating. They also began to worry.

They moved some debris and saw the big hole in the ceiling and a table split in half with lots of flasks and pieces of glass on the floor, everything was a disaster, there was still a light layer of colored fog and the smell of burning.

They thought that or that he had done that he had also escaped but before leaving Rapunzel heard noises inside that seemed to be sobs with a short breath, as if she was holding her breath, she called Eugene and they followed the sound to one of the halves of the table on a large piece of rock. They moved it and there they saw what probably would have scared Varian.

As soon as the girl was discovered she gave a scream that made the couple also scream like a reflex. They weren't expecting such a reaction, they didn't expect anything to begin with.

Not did they expect the girl to get up and start crawling, almost squatting to one of the corners of the room to hug her legs without taking her eyes off them.

The couple stepped back and maintained eye contact with the one staring at them.

Rapunzel took a breath and Eugene took her off one of her shoulders to prevent her from doing what he thought she would do. Rapunzel removed Eugene's hand and smiled at him as a gesture of his trusting her. Eugene nodded at him without removing his worried face.

-Hey, how about you join Varian? he must still be a little shocked-

-Are you sure?-

Eugene asked and upon receiving a positive response he left the house.

The princess approached slowly, crouching down with each step to be level with the girl, still with a slight distance between them.

The girl looked quite uncomfortable with her there, she became completely tense with her hands glued to the wall

-Hey, relax, take it easy, we're not going to hurt you-

She spoke breaking the silence Rapunzel with a soft voice and almost whispering to appear to be more comforting

-I am the princess ... queen Rapunzel from Corona and the one who accompanies me is Eugene Fitzherbert, do not be afraid of us, we are good people. What happened here?-

When the princess appeared, the girl relaxed a bit and lowered her hands to squeeze the handkerchief that she had on her chest because of her nerves, but she did not say a word

Rapunzel smiled at her and continued:

-Can you tell me your name?-

But the girl still didn't answer. Rapunzel took it on in a good way and got up, went to Eugene and told her that they should give her some time until she could calm down enough to cooperate with them.

-Is it what you want uhhh ... You?-

And finally she got an answer from the stranger who nodded her head still a little unsure.

With this Rapunzel left the house and go where the boys were leaving her alone with the door open in case she dared to leave it when she was ready.
