     The three wondered as they stared at the two mighty figures in front of them

"Where is she taking us?" Coraline whispered but the young mice could only shrugged in confusion as well

walking from an empty halllway as the Queen leaded the path, she smiled as soon as she caught a glance of the thick magenta colored curtain drapped loosely on the way, pulling the fabric away, she smiled towards her guests in excitement

"My friends...I welcome you, to the Hall of Prophecy..."

Now, it wasn't just Coraline turn to gasped in amazement, Neil and Misty also stared at the grand room surrounded with colored galssed walls, large portraits and artifacts were neatly placed from a mebled pillar, protected with a glass carved box but the first thing that attracted their sight was the grand statues much larger than a size of an actual human person to be precise

"My golly..." Neil whispered as he turned around, speechless and suprised, he had never seen this part of the castle once in his entire life!

"Your Highness..this is..." Misty gasped as she covered her mouth

The Queen Chuckled towards the reaction of the three

"The real reason why I called you here was because this room...is a very sacred place...only the royalty and the four Legions of Wonderland had the access to get inside this part of the palace..."

Coraline tilted her head "um...the four Legions?"

The Engineer and the Queen exchange glances and suddenly smiled softly towards each other

"Come this way Alice..."

The Queen went towards a large red curtain covering the most part of the wall, the Engineer then proceeded to to pull the lever beside the pillar, moving its hinges and ropes from above, the curtain began to move away, showing a four large portraits placed side by side to one another

Though, there was something familiar with those portraits

It seems, she had seen those faces...

The Queen raised her arm pointing at the first portrait "These are the four Legions that I had mentioned a while ago...also known as the guardians of Wonderland and the they had their own roles to protect this realm..."

Pulling the curtains up, Coraline instantly recognized those blue ocean eyes and his purple colored vest, holding something from his hand of some sort of book, definitely it was that man back at the willow tree

"This is Absolem..."

"Ah, Norman..." The Engineer smiled

"The Forefather of all knowledge in wonderland, he's the main source of keeping Wonderland's history to exist, without him, we wouldn't be able to connect to this realm...."

"Wow I never thought that he was so powerful than what he looks from the outside..."

The Queen chuckled at the blue haired woman's astonishment, they proceeded to the next portrait but even before she could order to pull the curtains again, she halted and let put a small sad sigh

"And I expected for you to know this person already...'

Revealing the dark crimson red of the portarit, his dark raven hair tied neatly as it drape into his shoulder, an instrument of what they had called a shamisen placed on his hand, but his feiry earth brown eye filled with such intimidation is what instantly made Coraline to recognize the face

"Kubo? He's...he's one of the four Legions?"

The Queen nodded her head

"The Forefather between the balance of peace...and chaos...he was the reason why chaos is shrouding Wonderland...Norman was the one who was trying to repel his ability...and to our concern...Absolem couldn't be able to held on much longer..."
