"Momma we're home!" Austin called out

"Oh! You two are safe! Thank goodness, how was it?" Queen Alice asked

"It was great mom! Here are the groceries" Zeddicus said, him and Austin give Queen Alice the groceries

"Wait till after dinner for your cookies boys, okay?" Queen Alice asked

They both nod


5 hours later


Austin yawns

"I'm sleepy" Austin said, laying in his bed

"Me too" Zeddicus replied, his face turns to a frown

"Thinking about that stupid box?" Austin asked

"It's not stupid! It's cool!" Zeddicus said

Austin sighs

"Zed...this thing about you...you...always believe what other people tell you" Austin explained

"But how come people say serious things like that? The music box seems to be real-"

"Zed! It's not real! Just... *sigh* ...just to go sleep" Austin ordered, closing his eyes

Zeddicus smirks

"Oh I believe it is real Austin" Zeddicus said, he very sneakily got out of the room with the 40 coins in the bag, leaving for the market

Otina is waiting, about to fall asleep but footsteps are heard and she perks up, seeing the young Zeddicus run in

"You made it" Otina said, surprised

"I said I'd come" Zeddicus explained

"So...you got the money?" Otina asked, Zeddicus holds up the bag of the stolen 40 coins

"Sure do" Zeddicus replies, putting the money on the table

"Well done boy" Otina said, she takes the coins and gives him a small black bag

"Be aware that there is a missing piece to find somewhere in the world" Otina explained

"Oh I'll find it! Thank you so much miss!" Zeddicus said happily as he left, Otina has a devious smirk

"You're welcome...victim" she said to herself
