Memories long forgotten leads to new ones

Chapter One: A New Beginning?

For a long time now, calm days have been common in the kingdom. Everyone had their own chores and people lived peacefully everyday, trusting in the security that the soldiers provided them.

Things were alright, exept in the castle. Where there was a blonde men with a worried look on his face. He was running through the hallways looking for some missing children.

-Where are those kids...- while checking every room, he heard little steps and giggles coming from a part of a wall -Of course- he said rolling his eyes -Their favorite hideout-

He moved the rock which led to a small but cozy room, decorated with many pillows and lights -There you are! I told you all to stay by my side while I finished settl some things!- he scolded them and entered the tiny room. He had to squeeze his wings a little bit to fit in that space -I had to search everywere. You had me so fucking scared, don't you ever do that again, please-

In the little hideout there where three kids that were notoriously ashamed, and a baby, who was sleeping in the arms of his sister. They also had wings but these were dragon like with no feathers, except the baby, he had tiny wings due to his age and were just like a bird, more specificaly a crow.

-We're so sorry dad, we just wanted to play a little and you were too busy- one of the girls said hiding the regret in her face with her hat -Yes we're sorry, but you didn't have to worry, I can protect them from anything- the boy next to her carried a sword, not so big but it can ensure damage, he had a confident tone.

Seeing the regretful faces of his children made him calm down, he placed his hat with white and red stripes, that had fallen onto his shoulders, back on his head and let out a defeated sigh.

-If you wanted to play, you could have told me and not ran off while another kingdom is here. It can be dangerous- he said the last part while hugging them -Sorry dad, we won't do it again, we promise- the little girl said readjusting her sunglasses and hugging him back just like her siblings.

-Now, what shall we do? Now that I don't have mor- - he was cut off by a guard yelling for him -Oh no. Come on kids, let's get out- they followed him out carefully not to wake up the baby and found a confused guard but didn't pay him much attention.

-King Tom! My apologies for interrupting but your presence is required at the meeting- the guard explained himself and bowed. Tom let out a tired sigh this time, then told the guard that he'd be there immediately.

-Alright then. Tallulah take your brother to bed please and you all go to your room- she nodded although she wasn't very happy about that but understood why -Chayanne make sure you all stay safe till you reach the room. I know I can count on you- Tom said knowing it will cheer him up and smiled when it worked, seeing the boy raise his sword and lead the way.

-My king, your counselor also suggest to wear your respective crown. Seems that the other kingdom pays close attention to that- this bothered Tom, he didn't like handling people who bragged about their power -Maybe I should reconsider getting involved with them- he remembered harsh memories but pushed them away.

-Sunny! What do you have in your head?- he asked with a joyfull tone, he knew she liked all shiny and valuable things -It's my crown!- she tried hiding it but didn't work -Sunny, you have your own crown- he said making her stop the obvious lie -Please dad! Your crown is much bigger than mine and prettier- she was now holding the crown and walking towards her father -Look Sunny, when you're older I'll give you a new one, would you like that?- and with that she smiled and gave back the crown, then ran off with the others.

-Please go with them- he told the guard -I'm sure they'll find a way to get themselves into trouble- Tom trusted them but he knew better. They were free souls and followed their instincts, something bad could easely happen to them. Some memories flooded his mind. He felt a bit nostalgic.

Tom stared at himself in the reflection of the crown on his hands -Alright, let's get done with this- then placed it on his head and made his way to the meeting.

The meeting was absolutely boring, he's been doing this for years now but can never stand this kind of formality. The actitude of the guests didn't help either, they gave orders to the servants like if they were the maximum power here and treated them without a bit of respect. Tom was getting tired of that, he just wanted those stupid proposals and nonsense to end to finally throw them off of his kingdom.

While trying to go unnoticed, task obiously imposible given to the notorious crown on top of his head that announced "King", some guy from the other kingdom approached him and began talking, then asked -Isn't that crown too small for a king?- Tom ignored the urge of responding "Well isn't that "dress" too stupid for a man?" Or something worse.

When the meeting ended, he felt like it was the happiest day of his life, well he can think of some other days, but he was finally free from that shit, he also was relieved that he didn't have to meet the other king, it was sure he'd be the worst. He then watched as the negotiators and representatives leave his land and tried not to laught because of the odd robes and accesories they had, he thought they looked like clowns.

But when everything was calmimg down and going back to normal, a guard came up to him and inform about someone who claimed to know him and was an "old friend" -That's weird, I don't remember anyone, what was he like?- the guard then started to discribe that strange man and his body froze, he couldn't believe it, it have been years since the last time they saw eachother, it was him -He said his name was Dream- and finally the guard said his name, Tom felt like he was shaking and couldn't form a word. He thought he had forgotten that kind of fear.

-Should I tell them to ban him from the kingdom?- the guard asked, perhaps recognizing how worried he was. Tom thought for a moment -Maybe he still doesn't remember anything important- He didn't know if that effect was permanent because he was able to regain his memories, although he had some help. But still then told the guard -No, he's not a problem, at least not now- he said the last part whispering so the guard couldn't heard him -I'll deal with him myself, is he still here?- a part of him wished he didn't but when the guard said he was, he cursed but didn't have much choice.

-Please, show me where he is, I'll hear what he have to say- the guard then responded with a "Of course my king" and then both headed to the gates. Tom was feeling a bit nervous but the thought of Dream not remembering anything calmed him down.

He knew it was almost imposible for him to have his memories back and prayed any god for that, but in the case he did -Well I'll have to do what it takes to protect them, my family, this time will be diferent- he saw the gates in the distance and felt his breath stop but forced himself to calm down, he needed to look casual.

And then, when the gate open up a bit he was able to see him, he looked calm and carefree almost friendly but he must be careful no matter what. Tom froze for a second when Dream finally saw him, or that's what he thought because he was using that damm mask.

-C'mon Tommy you can do this- it's been many years since he heard that nickname, he didn't know why he had remembered it so suddenly but it made him feel better. He really missed be called that. -Stay calm Tommy-

Tommy had to face the shadows from the past.
