Everything had gotten quiet now and many pipes stuck out or lay on the ground. A familiar home was half crumbled and the skies were slightly grey.

“Varian!”

Quirin had come back from a small out of village business and seen the village almost destroyed. He felt scared inside when he spotted his home almost all crumbled.

The villagers were in great concern and scared, speaking to Quirin, but his safety for his son was more important at that moment.

“Varian!”

He heard something moving in the pile and felt relieved, only to immediately grow more worried when Princess Rapunzel and Eugene walked up from where they were.

“I'm sorry, Princess, but please tell me you've seen my son?”

Rapunzel and Eugene look at each other in worry, “I'm sorry, but no. My friend followed him, but I don't know where they are now.”

Eugene's eyes widen, “(____). I bet he went after her.”

Quirin glanced around and closed his eyes, silently prayed, “Please, keep him safe.”

Through your eyelids, you could see a very bright blue light before anymore rubble could fall, it was blocked. There was something exploding, but it wasn't a normal one.

You all open your eyes and see you're all okay, though dust made it hard to see. You coughed and see a small circle around where you three were huddled.

“We have to get out of here. Let's go.” Cassandra ordered.

You let go of Varian’s hand once you notice something black go back under the ground. Cass helps Varian walk over the rocks toward the ladder that stayed intact.

“(____)!” Cass called.

The three of you climb up one by one. Cass went first, then you as you wait for Varian to come up.

He yells slightly when the ladder breaks and luckily, Cass grabbed his wrist and pulls him up. Varian sighs in relief and grins a bit flirtatiously at Cass, “Thank you, Milady.”

Cass rolls her eyes and for you, it just felt weird like you were annoyed.

“Varian!”

Varian grimaces, “Uh oh. That's my dad.”

Quirin spots you, Varian, and Cass. He runs over and kneels in front of Varian and places his hands on his shoulders, “Are you okay?” He smiles in relieve, then frowns, “What happened?”

Varian looks at the damage and he felt really bad, “Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't know-”

Quirin sighs deeply and shakes his head, seeming disappointed, “Not again, Varian.”

“But, Dad.” Varian says softly, almost heartbroken.

Quirin now turns to take care of the villagers, “Is everybody okay?”

You place a hand on Varian's shoulder in worry, “Varian, it's okay. I'm sure-”

He moves to pick up a piece of metal from the ground and he holds it tightly, “It won't be okay…. I let my dad down again.”
