This book will follow the story titled "Lore" on my YouTube Channel (The Lion Guard 88) but this is everything that happened BEFORE the events of Lore, following the point of views with my characters you will meet, Zeddicus, Austin, Queen Alice, Kin...
"Oh no! Help me, help me, help me!" said Austin holding a princess figurine, immitating a female voice
"Don't worry damsel in distress! I, Jack Facteau! Will save you!" Zeddicus said doing a heroic impression, he takes a dragon plush and makes the two fight
"Aah! I'm down!" Zeddicus said in a deep voice, representing the dragon
"My hero! Muah, muah muah!" Austin said in his female impression
"C'mon Bella Heuver! Let's get married!" Zeddicus said in his "knight" voice
"The End!" Austin said
Both of them giggle as Queen Alice smiles
"Hey boys" Queen Alice says
"Good morning momma!" They both say, cheerful
"Would you two like to be in for a treat?" Queen Alice asked
"What is it?" Austin asked back
"Would you two like to go to the market and grab some ingredients from a list? If you succeed I can get the servants to make you two some cookies" Alice replies
"COOKIES?!" They ask, exhilarated
"Mhm, just for you two" Queen Alice replies
"We accept mom!" They both say
"Don't do anything you're unaware of" Queen Alice says
"We won't" Zeddicus replies
Queen Alice reaches into her pockets and holds up some gold coins with a shopping list and gives it to them
"Don't go any further than the market" Queen Alice says
"Understood!" They both say as they exit the castle
"Our first independent task!" Austin says to Zeddicus
"Well let's go!" Zeddicus says taking Austin's hand
Market, 11:48 AM
"So, how much do we have?" Zeddicus asks Austin, he begins to count
"Sixty coins, what's first on the list?" Austin replies with a question
"Golden Delicious Apples" Zeddicus replies, suddenly he hears a twig snap, he turns to his right where the direction of the snap was heard, he sees a market stall titled "Otina's Mysteries", he keeps staring at the area until he gets pulled by Austin
"C'mon Zed! We need those cookies!" Austin tells him as he runs off with Zeddicus
1:49 PM
Austin and Zeddicus are carrying bags with the groceries needed at the castle
"We have 40 coins left" Austin tells Zeddicus
Zeddicus notices the store again, he seems attached to it
"Hey Austin, can we look into Otina's Mysteires before we go back?" Zeddicus asks, Austin is a little hesitant to speak but then says
"Zed"
He puts the bags down
"I know mom said she believes in alternate universes, but nobody in this world knows for sure, for all we know it could all just be a big fat-"
He notices Zeddicus is gone
"Hoax..." Austin says as he sighs and walks over to Zeddicus
"And this here is a little thing called a Universal Serial Bus, rumor has it that these things are how people from some universes go to their own" Otina says
"Woah-Hoah! Austin this is so cool" Zeddicus stated
"It may be, but we're leaving" Austin says, but Otina slightly cuts him off
"Would you guys like to hear the story of the Large Music Box?" She asks

"Ooh! Ooh! Me me me! I do! I do!" Zeddicus says, all hyper and excited
Austin facepalms and Otina clears her throat, ready to speak
"The tale states that there was a mysterious box, larger than any universe to exist, they held the mysteries of the universe, and all universes, however, in the 1970's, it was destructed and all the pieces of the box were scattered in different universes, however with my access from different realms from my ancient book, I have been able to find all pieces and whoever puts all pieces together will be the rightful creator of the God Box...and receive unlimited power" Otina explains
"Unlimited...power?" Zeddicus asks, intrigued
"Why didn't YOU create it then?" Austin asks
"I'm not interested, but if YOU want it..." Otina says, she holds up a bag and reveals the pieces in the bag, Zeddicus is about to snatch it from her hands but she smacks his hand
"No, no, no dear, you expect you to just grab it and go? You have to pay for it" Otina explains
"How much?" Zeddicus asks
"40 coins" Otina says
"Perfect! Austin! Gimmie that mullah!" Zeddicus orders but Austin grabs his wrist
"Zed...the rest of this money belongs to mom, not this creepy hag!" Austin explains
"But...me want unlimited power...and if we buy it then it basically belongs to-"
"Zed...please..." Austin tries to reassure him
Zeddicus sighs and has his fingers crossed behind his back
"Okay..." Zeddicus replies, he looks at Otina and Austin walks off with him
"Never do that again Zeddicus!" Austin explains
"Okay..." Zeddicus replies
"Alright" Austin replies again
Zeddicus sees that he has a grocery bag
"Shoot! I forgot the groceries in the store!" Zeddicus says
"Uuuuugh! I'll be waiting!" Austin replies
"K, thanks, byeeeeeeeee" Zeddicus said, zooming off, Austin rolls his eyes, Zeddicus eventually gets to the store and grabs the grocery bag, Otina is reading a book when she sees him running in
"Hm?" Otina wondered
"Sorry Otina, I forgot my groceries in here" Zeddicus explains, he grabs the back, turns around, and hesitates for about 5 seconds
"And..." He said silently
"And?" Otina asked
"I will be back tonight with the 40 coins for that music box fragment puzzle thing" Zeddicus said as he ran off
