Alex's POV:
When we got to the bottom of the crystal stairs I saw a beautiful place. There were crystals that lit up the whole place everywhere. In the center there was a giant orange crystal. I was speechless. Being so focused on the crystals and minerals, I didn't notice there were trolls of all shapes and sizes. Argh stopped walking, he was behind a shorter troll, the troll was blue with dark grey horns, and wearing suspenders. It looked like we were in a library. "Blinky we're back." Toby said. The troll turned to face us. He had six eyes. He noticed me on Argh's back. "Who is that?" He asked in a stern voice, pointing at me. "This is Alex, she was attacked by goblins at my house." Toby said. "What is she doing here? Why is she here?" He demanded. "Calm down, Blinky. She's not a threat, she's a friend of Toby's." Jim said. "She isn't the reason I'm mad. You just put another child's life at stake! That's what I'm mad about!" He yelled. The sudden anger in his voice scared me. I clung to Argh, burying my face in his fur. "Blinky, she's scared. You scaring her." Argh said. "It's okay, Alex. Blinky's nice, he won't hurt you." Toby told me. I looked at him, then Blinky, then him again, and then Blinky again. I relaxed a little, taking a deep breath. "She doesn't like loud noises, so no more yelling." Toby scolded the troll. "Right. I'm sorry, young one. No more yelling." Blinky said to me. I nodded and layed on Argh, sprawled out on my stomach. He looked at me and chuckled. My phone started vibrating in my pocket. I grabbed it and saw that Ace was calling. "It's Ace, I gotta take it." I informed the four looking at me. Argh helped me down and I leaned against the wall, answering the call. "Hey Alex. Can you calm Mike down?" Ace asked, pointing the phone at Mike, who was crying. "Mike what's wrong?" I asked. Mike didn't even look at me. "Someone told Mike that you were cheating on him. I tried telling him that the person was lying, but he doesn't believe me." Ace explained. "I see..." I paused. "Give Mike the phone." I ordered. "Here, Mike." Ace handed Mike the phone. "Do you really think I would cheat on you?" I asked. "Your friend told me she saw you kissing **** yesterday, is it true?" Mike asked, wiping tears away. "No! I already told you I have no interest in him. Plus, why would I go back to my ex?" I asked. "So I'm crying over nothing?" Mike asked in annoyance. "Pretty much. But who was this "friend" of mine that told you this?" I responded. "The one with long brown hair." Mike answered. "Oh honey, she ain't my friend. She literally bullies me." I told him. "Oh..." He said, looking a little embarrassed. "Wait- how does she know we're together?!" I asked, in sudden realization. "I don't know." Mike answered. "I'll figure it out later, but dont cry, I'm not cheating on you, honey. That's a nightm-" a roar interrupted me. "I gotta go!" I hung up and hid behind Argh. A big blue troll came in roaring. "Draal what's wrong?" Jim asked. The troll swung at Toby, who dodged and ran to Argh. "Draal!" A spirit looking troll yelled. "Kanjigar?!" Jim asked, surprised. "Yes, James Lake. It is I. Draal is not himself today. Vendel came and asked for my assistance to calm him down." The spirit said. The big blue troll roared and swung at Jim. Argh grabbed him, growling and pinned him to the ground. "Draal stop!" He growled. "Get off of me, pacifist!" He yelled as he tried getting up. "That's enough, son!" The spirit scolded. "Shut up!" Draal yelled. "Kanjigar's son would never say that to his father! Who are you!?" Blinky demanded. "I am not Draal. I am Morgana's son!" He responded as he knocked Argh off of him. He got up and looked at me. "Found you." He said as he grabbed me, I yelped. Argh pushed him over, causing him to drop me. I immediately ran into Argh's arms. He picked me up and backed away from the possessed Draal. "We need to break his control." Blinky stated. "Thanks for stating the obvious. Now how do we do that?" Jim asked. "Sentimental memory." Argh answered. "Draal! Remember when we would spar when you were a youngling?" Kanjigar asked. "And you would always roll in a ball as your final move! Very clever." He continued. "No! Stop telling him these memories!" The possessor yelled "remember your first word, son? "Fapher" instead of "Father". Remember, my son?" Kanjigar asked. Draal held his head and roared before falling to the ground, holding himself up with his elbow. "What...happened..?" He asked, his voice a little deeper. "It worked!" Blinky exclaimed. "Father..? Wh-" kanjigar cut him off. "Everything is fine." He said, patting Draal on the back. I tried getting out of Argh's grip, but failed. "Not yet." He said, putting me on his shoulder. "Why not?" I asked. "...Just don't trust Draal right now." He explained in a quiet voice. "But it wasnt Draal, it was what's-her-name's son." I told him. "Still bad feeling." He replied. "Fine, I'll trust your gut." I said. I layed down and put my ear buds in my ears and listened to baby sleep music. (Author note: To be more specific, the video below is what Alex is listening to)

After about five minutes of listening to it, everything went black. Next thing I know, Argh is gently tapping me to wake me up. "Mmmh." I moaned and turned over. "Alex come on! Nana's gonna wonder where you are." Toby said. I ignored him and went back to sleep.
