The Spell (A Team Crafted FF)

Chapter 5: Understood

:Blazzium:

After Summer disappeared, I summoned an End Portal and walked through. As I was greeted by the familiar sight of the void, I noticed the castle in the distance. My home. Getting to the gates, the guard simply smiled at me and opened them.

Walking into the castle, I'm greeted with no one. Strange, normally my little brother would meet me almoat immediately after I-

"ALY!" I heard someone scream and was tackled to the ground. I smiled as I saw who it was. By younger brother, Nearo. Notch, he scares me sometimes. I picked him up, as I stood up and placed him on flat ground, and smiled.

"I see your as energetic as always... where mum and dad?" I asked, and Nearo pointed in the kitchen.

"Mum's making dinner! Dad's out back in the arena training a newb!" Nearo giggled.

"That's, noob, Nearo." I corrected him. His vocabulary needs work... but then again he's thirteen. I picked him up once more and walked slowly into the kitchen. I saw my mother, Adaphillia, cooking, whislt my father, Leapohlt, was just walking in, from the arena I bet. He smiles at me.

"Alyssa! How was your day?" He asked, as I sat Nearo at the table. I shrugged.

"Alright. The Commander I was put with was acting really weird though." I told them, and mum looked at me strangely.

"How so?" She asked.

"He had to stop every five minutes to hold his head and regroup. He told me he was fine but I could tell there was something wrong." I said. Dad sat at the table to my right, as of Nearo was on my left.

"Speaking of head problems, how have the headaches been?" Dad asked me, and I groaned.

"Painful... as always..." I said as I leaned my head against my arm. Mum sighed.

"Where are the headaches coming from? There is no sign of water around, and no Enderbane..." Mum said, and started to put food on our plates.

"Mum, don't worry about it... I'm fine..." I told her with a slight chuckle. She gives me the look as she puts our plates in front of us.

"How was Commander Adam?" Dad asked, and I looked at him.

"You know him?" I asked, and he shrugged.

"We've crossed paths... wasn't very good paths, but still, we've crossed paths." Dad explained, and I shrugged.

"He was moody... and miserable." I answered. It's true. Commander Adam did not look like he was enjoying himself.

"He confuses me... just years ago he was the happiest person in his kingdom. Then, suddenly, two years ago he becomes a ball of moodiness..." Mum shook her head in disapproval. I groaned as I took a bite from my dinner. Steak. A headache came my way, and I groaned weakly, dropping my fork as it hit the silver plate. Dad looked to me.

"Another one?" He asked, and I nodded. He sighed, and his eyes glew purple.

"Pijn, laat mijn kind achter." He chanted, and the pain slowly disappeared. I sighed, and smiled.

"Thanks dad." I smiled, as he smiled back. This is going to be a long ride.

After dismissing Preston, I had a slight hint of Deja Vu. I feel as if I know this guy from somewhere, but I can't picture it. Shrugging it off, I walk over to the bench and take out Betty. All of you know of Betty. (The 4th wall Jerome!)
