 When they reached the Aurora Kingdom it was dark and the gates were closed. But when the guards saw Void, they raised their swords at him.

"Wait, wait, wait! I mean no harm!" Void yelled. Everyone else heard the ruckus and got out of the wagon. When the guards saw Cotton and Carry, they immediately stabbed Void just as Cotton said, "Wait!" Void fell to the ground and removed his mask as he coughed up blue liquid. It was his blood. Cotton went to his side immediately.

Void became weak almost immediately. Cotton removed Void's shirt and saw the damage. They had hit vital organs.

"Felix! Go into the wagon, grab Void's bag, and search for the regeneration and healing potions! If you can't find them, grab the Totem of Undying!" Cotton yelled. Felix went into the wagon and to Cotton, Void, and Carry, where Carry and Felix rummaged through Void's bag and Felix soon found the regeneration and healing potions.

"Carefully pour the entire potion it into his mouth," Cotton told Felix. Felix went over to Void and Cotton, took the cork out, and carefully poured the entire potion into his mouth. Void had barely enough strength to swallow. But when he took that first swallow, his strength started to come back. And Felix got to watch the potion heal and regenerate what Void had lost and Cotton removed his hands from the wounds.

Soon the bottle was empty, and Felix then grabbed the healing potion and was about to do the same thing when Void grabbed the bottle and chugged the potion. Void was back to his old self.

"Guardian Rosewood, why did you do that? He's a criminal!" said one of the guards. "Criminal? Ha! Don't make me laugh. Void is another version of well... Me," Cotton said. "And since he's another version of me living in this world, he's no criminal."

The guards then realized their mistake and apologized and let them inside the kingdom. They traveled to the castle and camped there until day.

The next day when Felix woke up, Cotton was already talking to the king of Aurora Kingdom. Void was asleep because he took the night shifts and last night was chaotic. Carry was at the front of the wagon, also talking to the king of Aurora Kingdom.

Cotton saw Felix and said, "Morning! I talked to the king, and he'll let us stay in his palace for a few days so we can rest up for the rest of our journey!" Felix rubbed his eyes and said tiredly with a yawn, "That's great..." Then his eyes widened in realization and he jumped up and said, "Wait what?! In the palace?! Are you serious?!" Cotton and Carry laughed and Cotton said, "Yeah, I'm serious. It'll allow up to get plenty of rest before the rest of our journey."

Soon the wagon was parked inside of the castle and the oxen were in a field with some horses while the king gave them a tour of his castle. Void was dead asleep, so Cotton carried him on his back.

The king lead the four to their rooms, where they'd be staying. Cotton thanked him for his generosity and he laughed and said, "Just don't break my palace like the last guests did. But I forgave them, since they defended my people." "You must be talking about Sabrina and Aiden!" Felix said. "Yeah... I am. How do you know them?" the king asked. "It's simple. I lived with William for a little while and they were there," Felix said. "Wait what?! You know William?! Like the God of Creation and Destruction William?!" the king shouted. "Yep!" Felix said, heading into his room.

Felix's room was huge. He stared at it in amazement, since his old house was just some shabby old shack that he was kicked out of. He set his stuff down near the foot of the bed and looked around the room. He was amazed.

Soon, some maids came in and said his bath was ready. He followed them to a bathroom and they gave him all sorts of soaps. They then left to clean, as there weren't many of them. Felix then took off his clothes and got into the bath. He looked at the soaps and he knew many of them, as one of his hobbies as a kid was studying soap because he didn't have anything to do.
