Word of the Abandoned's existence spread throughout the Earth like a wildfire. Normals began to grow anxious of the power they wielded. No one knew where they had gone after their battle with Arlo, which had affected their peace. The more time progressed, the more frightened the Normals were by the very idea of powerful beings living amongst them. The few Abandoned who dwelled amongst the Normals feared for their own lives since they grew wary of what humans might to do them and their young. Six months had passed and their questions remained unanswered, thus resulting in riots out of fear and endless searches for the beings who attacked their lands. Japan and New York were affected by the Normals' fear the most. Humans would attack others accusing them of being one of the Abandoned while the Abandoned remained in their homes to avoid the chaos. Schools began to close out of fear, hospitals took less and less people, and food began to be hoarded by the greedy and selfish. No one was safe from their own fear, which led some people to killing. The crime rate in large cities tripled over the course of those six months. This left the president no other choice but to contact Elam, a man who had extensive knowledge of the Abandoned realm as well as the multiverse. Normals were no fools, but when it came to fear nothing stood a chance against their stupidity.340Please respect copyright.PENANAlwyBzzSY8j

"Why have you summoned us?" Beatrice questioned with a stoic expression while Wani stared at him with a menacing glare.340Please respect copyright.PENANAoXrZBjgrw2

"Does her Majesty know about this?" Wani added as she propped her feet up on the table.340Please respect copyright.PENANA5EKczvjLPW

Alexandera shoved her feet off with a scowl, "You will speak to my Master with nothing but respect, you insolent—"340Please respect copyright.PENANAKIkWv1vKAo

340Please respect copyright.PENANAit5095hbqE
Elam cleared his throat, quickly silencing him, "My apologies, girls, but do you know a way to the Abandoned realm?" He asked with a nervous chuckle.340Please respect copyright.PENANAlETC8g7tFz
340Please respect copyright.PENANAWBJFozMkTw
340Please respect copyright.PENANAXgjRGRzvXK
Beatrice smirked while leaning forward and placing her arms on the metal table, "What is it you desire from us to inquire such an atrocious thing?" 340Please respect copyright.PENANAsXJmcENojR

Wani furiously slammed her hand down on the table, "Bea, why are you toying with him? We should just kill him and feed him to the fishes in the harbor." She declared with a scoff as she folded her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes.340Please respect copyright.PENANA1nHTrSJnlW
340Please respect copyright.PENANAhMJGJHG4fm
340Please respect copyright.PENANAYE3t5vCGDK
"Now, now, Wani. We mustn't act so brash, speak." Beatrice gestured to Elam, who cleared his throat once more.340Please respect copyright.PENANAphVXWx2o2Q

"Thank you," he glanced at Wani, "I am sure you have noticed the chaos the Abandoned realm's presence has caused for the Normals."340Please respect copyright.PENANA8oAmp3JipA
340Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ8Ei6NThH
340Please respect copyright.PENANA3lTGpXjv0b

"Well, the President has ordered me to locate Amaris, Hanako, Laura, Alice and Iria. He would like to preform a peace ceremony amongst the Normal and Abandoned, so we can put an end to the Normals' fear." Elam explained while running a hand through his thinning grey hair.340Please respect copyright.PENANAfrEl9xChiW
340Please respect copyright.PENANAOfPZlhq5rY
340Please respect copyright.PENANAl5onJ2J4DT
"What about the Abandoned who dwell among the Normal in this realm? What about their fear?" Wani questioned while pacing back and forth from the metal door to the grey cinderblock wall.340Please respect copyright.PENANAwMCqG1OQg2
340Please respect copyright.PENANA3b1IzzeKYN
340Please respect copyright.PENANAP8ujOT8kjV
"Wani, the Abandoned have more power than the Normal, they have nothing to fear—" Beatrice stifled out a laugh, but Wani shot her a glare.340Please respect copyright.PENANAmNWHIo34aK

"If possible, perhaps we can arrange a meeting before hand. Either here in the Normal realm, or in the Abandon realm. I have not seen the Abandoned realm since our discovery of the Keeper's Gate." Elam chuckled to himself as he recalled the distant memory from his glory days.340Please respect copyright.PENANAkTLCmqp5Fu

340Please respect copyright.PENANA6qh4aMQiVB
"The Abandoned would eat you alive, if you were to go there. I cannot speak for your little pets, but you are unfit to travel between realms let alone the spaces in this one. I shall meet with Amaris to further discuss what you have inquired about today. Now, we must be on our way, or Wani might turn this place upside down." Beatrice laughed lightly while standing up.340Please respect copyright.PENANAU5fu5qOOQp

"How will I know you have actually gone to see Amaris?" Elam questioned her suspiciously.340Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fp6MeFzrD

340Please respect copyright.PENANAuKUaLChzsV
"Listen, mortal. When the time comes you will know, now get me out of this fucking room before I kill each and every one of you." Wani growled angrily while digging her nails into the palm of her hands.340Please respect copyright.PENANAW0HzXSfsed

Being in a small room reminded her of her life on Andros, where she would sit in a cell until called upon. She felt like an animal being caged in a human zoo. Amaris rescued her during her imprisonment the day she fled Andros — from her Father.340Please respect copyright.PENANARIG5b4si2s

Beatrice smiled as she waved goodbye and carefully led Wani out of the room. Alexandra turned to Elam once the door had been fully closed. Elam glanced up at her before sighing exasperatedly.340Please respect copyright.PENANAtrquJ2s8XA

"Master, if I may, Alexander and I are able to move through the realms as freely as they do. Perhaps, our visit will prove more useful than theirs. They seem to have become too domesticated during their time in the Normal realm." Alexandra suggested as she followed him into the hallway with Alexander on his other side.340Please respect copyright.PENANAJOp8py7ESA

"I am in agreement with my Sister, Master. How do you know we can place our trust in Amaris' Ward?" Alexander asked in a low voice.340Please respect copyright.PENANASQq7MoDlRY

"If they do not return in three days with new information on their whereabouts, then I will leave it to you two. As of now, we will be patient and remain optimistic about our disposition. That is all we can do for now." Elam said as he rubbed his hands down his face.340Please respect copyright.PENANAjWPIVHIOCj

Alexandra looked straight ahead with a scowl, she felt hatred toward the Abandoned. Ever since their arrival to this realm, they have only experienced pain and fury caused by the Abandoned and their careless actions. Three days will come soon enough then they will finally show Amaris what they were truly capable of. Alexander glanced at his sister with a worried expression, he knew what she genuinely desired most in this life. She wanted to kill the Abandoned being who destroyed their realm, killing their parents.340Please respect copyright.PENANAS61nVlEa9Y
