Dreams of Unspoken Truth

XIV

Back with Andre and the rest of the group…
“Where do you think they went after entering the room?” Andre asked Apollo. “I’m not sure,
but… We have to hurry before…”
“Hey guys!” Bennett called out, running towards them. “Thank goodness I found you…”
“Bennett!” They all called out. “Thank god you're okay!” Eliza said. “We are glad you found your
way to us…” Jaylen said.
“Sorry to disturb the welcome back party, but… we still need to…” Andre suddenly got pulled
through the door. “Andre!” Cadet said, going in after him. The rest of the group followed to help,
finding themselves in the new black and white hall.
“Welcome to the Hall of Deep Regret!” Galexis said. “You shall see that you're not the first ones
here…” He pointed to Jordan, Devyn, and Axe who were wandering the halls lost.
“Devyn! Jordan!” Andre called out. Cadet stood speechless as the three ran up to rejoin the
group. “Axe?” Cadet said.
“Cadet… I-is that you?” Axe asked. Cadet gave Axe a big hug. “I missed getting to be with
you…” Cadet said. “I’m sorry about everything Cadet…” Axe said. “You got crushed because of
me and…”
“Just be quiet please…” Cadet said. “All I want to do right now is hug my brother…”
“I don’t get it…” Jordan said. “How did you know it was Axe?”
“Once Andre called out for you and Devyn… I heard a scraping metal noise with my advanced
hearing…” Cadet explained. “Plus I gave him and Axe a little extra update to allow them to know
who is there if their eyes were to fail on them…” Laney said.
“Now if we can stop the chit chat, so I can finish what I needed to say…” Galexis interrupted.
“We got things to finish up here…”
“This is the last place you have left to explore before I let you free…” Galexis said. “Why do you
need us to explore this place?” Jaylen asked. “I just need one of you to find the key I am looking
for…” Galexis said.
“Wait…” Laney interrupted. “Based on what Lady Lion told us… Are you and Andre working
together?”
“So she spilled the tea… I’ll deal with that later, but yes… Truth be told… I want out of here…”
Galexis said. “I’m so tired of being trapped here… stuck with what my father made me into…”
“That’s why Andre was looking for keys to defeating you…” Eliza said. “Exactly… because he
wants to help undo what my father has wreaked havoc on…” Galexis said. “I promise, I’m not as
bad as him…”
“Now I kinda feel bad for calling you the bad guy… especially after we saw one of your
memories…” Jordan said. “Well It’s my fault for giving off the wrong appearance… I’ve been
sealed in here for years and it has made me a bit… insane…” Galexis said, with a sinister smile
before disappearing.
“So that’s your big secret that you couldn’t share?” Devyn asked. “You guys thought he was
bad… I felt that he was just… misunderstood… I mean… he has been trapped down here for
possible years until we…I killed Arrinor…” Andre said. “We’re not mad at you, but… you should
have spoken up about it…” Laney said. “We would have understood what was going on and
why you wanted to keep going despite your pain…” Eliza said. “Now let’s find that orb and help
Galexis before we escape…” Cadet said.
