Timeless Decisions

Come back

The first day of high school at Auradon Prep dawned bright and full of promise, but for Morgian, it was a day tinged with unease. As he stood in front of the mirror in his room, he could hardly recognize the reflection staring back at him. The mirror, usually a source of comfort, seemed to amplify his doubts today. The inevitable shift in his world felt palpable. Red and Chloe from another timeline were arriving, and the weight of that knowledge pressed heavily on his heart.

A soft knock at the door broke his thoughts. "Come in," he called out, his voice betraying his anxiety. The door creaked open, and Red stepped into the room, her smile as radiant as ever. She stood behind him, her presence a comforting reminder of the past.

"Today is the start of something new and we are going to rock this," she said enthusiastically, her voice filled with optimism. Morgian forced a smile, trying to match her enthusiasm, but his heart felt heavy.

"Yeah..." he muttered, his tone lacking the usual excitement.

Red's smile faltered slightly as she noticed the sadness in Morgian's eyes. "What's wrong, Ian?" she asked, concern etching her features.

Morgian turned slowly to face her, his gaze searching for the right words. "I just have this feeling that everything will change now," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

Red's eyes softened with understanding. "Nothing will change, silly. We're still the two kids we always were, and nothing will change that," she said reassuringly. Her optimism was a stark contrast to Morgian's apprehension, but he appreciated the effort.

"I'm going to look for my mom now, okay? Maybe she can rekindle with yours. I've heard a lot about your mom from mine," Red said, her tone lightening with the thought of reconnecting family bonds.

Morgian nodded, forcing a smile. "Sure," he replied, though his mind was already drifting back to the mirror. As Red left his room, her footsteps echoing down the hallway, Morgian's gaze remained fixed on his reflection.

Everything would change today. It was a reality he wasn't ready to face. The comfort of the past, the familiarity of their childhood antics, and the sense of unwavering friendship were all about to be tested. Morgian knew that he and Red would be stepping into a new world—one filled with complexities and potential challenges that neither of them had anticipated.

He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. The mirror reflected not just his image, but the uncertainty of the future. The day ahead held promise and change in equal measure, and Morgian wasn't sure if he was ready to let go of what once was.

With a final glance at his reflection, Morgian left his room and headed out, determined to face whatever came next. The bond he shared with Red had always been his anchor.

The grand reception hall of Auradon Prep buzzed with excitement. The students and their families gathered to celebrate the new chapter of Auradon's history, marked by the opening of the barrier and the arrival of new faces. Amidst the revelry, Morgian sat beside his mother, Blanc, feeling an unusual mixture of anticipation and dread.

Red and Chloe exchanged a bewildered glance, realizing that they had somehow returned to the exact moment in time when everything had begun to unravel. Red hastily slipped the watch into her pocket as they hurried towards the stage, desperate to see how their actions had altered the future and if they had succeeded in saving their mothers.

As they approached, they saw Uma addressing the crowd, her eyes sweeping over the assembled students. "Now, I never got the chance to go to Auradon Prep. But as its captain, I'm proud to be charting a new course into a bright future," she announced, her voice filled with pride.
