————————————————
It been nearly months since anyone last seen Rapunzel after the battle, almost a year in fact. The kingdom of Corona is doing their to get use to the quietness, used to be comfortable with the princess's present. But she must follow her destiny and stop the rocks. King Frederic thought that hiding the truth about the rocks can keep his kingdom safe, but he couldn't stop his own free sprited daughter in the castle after being locked up for eighteen years away from her own family, she was still new the the world out and still have to make her own life too. And from the way she defend herself against Varian proves she can take care of herself.

Speaking of Varian, he been living with the royal family, trying to get him help. He sat on the guest room's bed, arms crossed and pouting. He is still mad at them for turning their backs on him when he try to ask for help, and they are trying to tell him that his father will be freed and all is be sorted out in the end. He doesn't believe them. He still blame them and Rapunzel for everything that happened to him.

A knock is heard through the door. Behind, he hear the queen's voice. "Varian? Are you in there?" She ask politely.

Varian rolled his eyes. "Yeah! Still here!" He yelled.

"Well, I'm taking a stroll to see how the people are doing since Rapunzel last visit." Arianna told him. "And I was thinking if you like to join me. You been outside since last month, figure you can use some sun." She paused for a moment. "So, like to come?"

Varian could care less of those villagers, they all treated him like the villain he turn himself into. All thanks to Niguel and his rumors that is spread around Corona. But the more he think too much, the more he is about to give in, he hadn't been outside since his last community service. Maybe some fresh air can clean his mind.

So he let out a sigh and answer her. "Yeah, sure. Let me get ready first." He said. He jumped off and grab his goggles and gloves, put on them their rightful position.

Rudiger climb up and landed on Varian's shoulder, getting comfy as the texture of his fur bring comfort to Varian. Out of all the creature, Rudiger remain loyal to Varian, he been his only comfort since the storm and even when being turn into a ginat raccoon monster isn't the most pleasent way to help Varian, at least nobody got hurt badly except the royal captain.

He open the door and find Arianna holding a basket in her hands while standing before the doorway. She smile at him, trying to be kind like a mother she is. She place her hand on his shoulder and the two walk down the hallway.

Outside of the kingdom, villagers are talking to each other, buying the sales and handing their jobs. They didn't talk about the black rock incident and about Varian as well, knowing how harsh gossip can be and can be chaotic when not handle with care. Monty fix the damage of his shop with Attria and trying to make it look new.

With Arianna and Varian, while she is greeting her subject with care and kindness, Varian just cross his arms and look away from the others. He only came out cause the queen ask him to. This is pointless to him and to his situations.

Then the sound of music playing reaches his ears. His attention quickly turn from annoyance to curiousity. He left the queen's side and follow the music. Who can be playing music here around this huge kingdom? Strangely the music is coming from a huge crowd of villagers surrounding whoever is playing. He look for a way to get through, squeezing in and shucking in his weight to past through, till a last he made it to the end.

Near the fountain is a group of grown up musicians playing instruments, creating fun music that amazed the crowd. Umong the grown ups is a teenage girl that looks to be in Varian's age, playing a tambourine while singing. "It happens every now and then. I hear the words I need to hear. Coming from the tiny speakers, that I've shoved into my ears." Her voice sounds beautiful, sweet and heavenly. "The crickets setting the tempo. The wind dancing across my skin. Reminding me of conversations, Summer night when I stayed in." The girl have skin that is pale peach color with rosy color dusted on her cheeks, her eyes are pale blue to some they look like crystals, her lips are pale pink that looks so soft and kissable, her hair is long in a ponytail in brown color but she have blue bangs that sweep on her right face. She wore an off shoulder tunic with a brown was it corest, a brown belt, blue pants that look baggy, boots with ropes wrap on them and wear a lapis lazuli necklace.
