“Don’t think you are getting away with that.” said the older human boy.
“Umm, children, did you dream about something strange?”
“We haven’t slept, old geezer. What are you doing snooping around our parents’ door, huh?”replied the beastgirl with the golden hair.
“I was just looking for the toilets.” 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRvxzOu6kd
“And we’re supposed to believe that, Marquis Schlinger?” said the younger human boy. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqtTRhMykW
The visitor flinched. How could he know his name? Nevertheless, it could be just a guess.
“Are you alright, children?”
“Just shut up and accept your own title, geezer.” It was the dragonet boy. His voice was calm, but coldly menacing.
Nervously, he replied “You’re just children, even if you know who I am. You just have big mouths.” Saying that, he threw tiny icicles at them, pinning the to the wall far behind them.
“You see, you are powerless.” he said whiles approaching them. “I’ll torture you in front of your parents. That look of despair! Hahaha ha!”
The four older children smiled. They turned to smoke, then reappeared. The marquis stayed frozen in place. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExA5ZFHrHP
“You thought those were us, didn’t you?” said a voice behind him. He turned around there were other children, identical to the ones in front. But the ones in front frowned.
“We are the real ones!” said the young human.
“No, it’s us, rather!” replied his copy behind.
“Haha ha” laughed the older human in front. “Can you figure out who’s real?” He paused, then added “Figure that out, and we’ll spare you.” 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbo0OXMaZr
Meanwhile, in the parents’ room, Aurelia and Marsillias were asleep. Abelheid appeared. He went to the side of the bed. He woke them up. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnbTb70YBV
“I’ll teleport you to the corridor. Just look on, don’t utter a sound.” 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z3CwRVl1J
Before any of the parents could react, they found themselves in the corridor. They were shocked. The visitor was attacking two sets of children who looked exactly like their own. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCegql1KSE
“Are they real?” asked Aurelia in a low voice. Jojo immediately appeared next to her. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRrTpXprVG
A voice sounded in the brains of the parents. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUwUofUts7
“Don’t speak. They could hear you. Anyway, no. Those aren’t real. They’re dummies. The real are inside the room to avoid injury. We’re also dummies, by the way. You see, the “visitor” is a actually someone who’s out to kill the whole family. You wouldn’t believe if we just told you, so we had to show you”. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XmuGyDkAC
A split second later, they were back in their room.
“Decide on how to come out” said the voice in their heads. “He’s dangerous.”
Then, the dummies of Abelheid and Jojo transformed into thin air, leaving them alone in the room.
“What was that voice?” whispered Marsillias.
“I don't know” admitted Aurelia, “but my brain tells me this is the work of the children.” 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP6BV60Hiw
“I agree. What if we go out to see for ourselves? We can’t be sure we were still in reality. Just in case. I mean, they could have done that to get rid of him.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTsgI5XBCa
They got up and left the room. Immediately a shard of ice flew at Marsillas, but was deflected by a barrier out of nowhere. The visitor exclaimed. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpLXLurMh
“Oho! The princess and her lowlife husband are out! Join our game, will you?”
He shot two balls of compressed air at them. Aurelia deflected it with a flick of her hand that became a slash of wind. It continued till it hit the visitor on the chest. He was thrown into the wall. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir7LwVOn4b
“Bullseye.” said Aurelia. Everyone stared at her. The visitor took the opportunity to hurl ice arrows at one of the children groups. No one flinched. The group that was hit turned to smoke and disappeared. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGcgN8gLB2
“They were illusions?” said the visitor. “No, it can’t be. They used magic. Dummies? No. The princess can’t. The husband can’t. The children... is it the seeds?” He hardly finished it when a blow from Marsillas hit him squarely on the jaw. He passed out.
“Great work, children. You can come out now.”
The children emerged, looking tired. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSuxSWR7C
“I’m proud of all of you.” declared Marsillas.
