Age of Fairy Tales

Sometime after the results of the Mark of Mastery

The Master of Masters was busy writing the events that Roxas was seeing when he heard a knock on his door, with a sigh and deactivating his new eye allowed his door to unlock.

He had put a small spell onto the lock that only he could undo, unless it was overpowered via Keyblade. Only two of the Foretellers could over power it and both are currently away from Daybreak town.

Unless she had returned.

"Come on in." The Master said. His visitor entered and his mood instantly brightened. "So you have found it then my little pup."

"You are correct Master, but why would you have me look for this." Ava said as she levitated something out of her bag. She had it placed under Zero Gravity spells the hole trip as it was too heavy to move otherwise.

She lowered a stone slab onto the floor with a resulting thunk. It was about 2 feet wide and 2 feet long. On it was the fossilized remains of...something that she couldn't exactly describe. It looked like part of a bird's wing with a woman's hand on top next to the body of some great snake and at the corner some kind of metal.

"This should be the final piece Master, I found it in the ruins just like you said I would. Yet they were located in the bottom of a lake though." Ava said, causing him to huff.

"Give me a break, I last saw the pieces all together over 215 years ago, so of course it's not my fault if the locations changed." He said, causing Ava to sigh.

"Fair enough." She said as the Master tapped the slab and emanated an azure glow. A moment later he teleported it into a location that she knew that the slab would be safe.

As much as all the Foretellers would wish that the slabs would be wiped from existence, they knew that they were pretty much indestructible.

After all, the slabs were pieces from something that The Master broke with the X-blade and couldn't destroy anymore. So he would make sure that they were never able to stick together again. For if the fragments should be able to gather and revive, it will unleash two beings from an era best forgotten.

The very beings responsible for life on this planet after all and the ones to almost end it all.

"Well if that is all Master, Ira told me to inform you that dinner would be done within half an hour." Ava said, causing him to look out the window and see the setting sun.

"Would you look at at that, time really does flies by sometimes. Anyone tell them I'll be down there soon." He said as he began to walk back to his desk.

"Very well then, I'll go tell them."

As the Master was finishing organizing his book, he heard a thud followed by the sound of glass breaking. He looked up to see Ava removing herself from a bookshelf and immediately rushed over to her.

"Ava, are you alright?" He asked while helping her up.

"I'm fine Master. I just tripped over that carpet, but I'm sorry about the picture frame though."she said while dusting her self off.

"It's alright, but let's make sure the photo is alright." The Master said while memorizing the carpet. He would get rid of it later. Still he removed the frame and immediately thanked every god he knew that the photo was alright.

The photo was a simple one, of three figures around a campfire in a cave.

It was the figures that were important.

In the middle was kid who looked to be 11 with a mini black coat on with the hood up, but shining blue eyes, a strand of white hair, and a smile clearly showing through.

It was him when he was little, and the figures next to him where something that left Ava nervous. He knew why though. Although she had seen this photo plenty of times, it still would get her get her on edge on how infamous the other two figures were. Especially the oldest one.

The figure on his right was a white haired boy around his age with a blue jacket, silver shirt, grey pants, and grey shirt with his golden eyes glaring at the final figure.

The final figure was someone known and feared the world over and everyone but The Master was glad that she was gone.

She was a woman in her late 20's with long white hair with part of it styled like horns, a risqué red dress that was horrible revealing, a ton of tattoos, black claws for hand and feet, and large black feathered wings protruding from her back. Her expression showed that she didn't want to be there and her golden eye's returned the boy's glare.

"No matter how many times I see this photo I'm still surprised that you were related to them." Ava said as The Master fixed the frame with a wave of his hand and placed it back in.

"Believe me, I had no way of knowing what my little bro Garland would become and had I noticed I would've stopped him before our confrontation ever happened and he needed put down." The Master said in a hollow tone while putting the photo back up. "As for sis there was nothing I could do. She was doomed by events spanning 10,000 years back and developed into the tyrant the world knows because of that. If I had been born 17 years earlier as her twin instead of Garland's then I could have prevented her from trying to basically murder reality. In the end though she got what she wanted. To be one with time and space, but never able to truly exist ever again. A fate far worse then death."

Ava could only look at him worriedly. He usually got like this whenever his family was brought up and it would take him at least an hour to bounce back.

It was going to be a quiet dinner tonight.

"I'm going to go tell the others that it will be a quiet dinner tonight." Ava said while walking through the door.

"You might as well." The Master said evenly as he opened the window.

Ava nodded and began to walk to the door.

"You want to know something Ava." He said, stopping her. "Sometimes I would have dreams about all of us and them. In fact it would be in this very room, I would be breaking up another argument between Ira and Aced, Gula would be be playing chess with Garland in that corner and would be in the middle of another stalemate with you cheering them both, and in that corner Luxu would be reading next to Invi as she would be talking about spells with Ultimecia. Sadly it will never come to pass, but a guy can dream no."

Not knowing what to do, Ava could only leave while thinking on what he said.

Once she was gone, the Master picked up the carpet and threw it out the window.

"This is all your fault you tacky piece of floor cloth for bringing back these memories to the surface. My you burn forever in whatever afterlife awaits you." He said while charging up a massive sphere of lighting.

He released it and the carpet was instantly vaporized.

"Well I feel a little better now." He mumbled as he took one last look at the photo before room.

While he can mope around about the his dead family later, he still had a living one to look after at the moment.

His six wonderful adopted children and one very alive niece.

Speaking of which, according to her caretaker she was showing promise in becoming a Keyblade wielder and if what Roxas saw was true she would be an excellent one.

He would have to arrange something later, after he ordered a new carpet of course
