Crystal's residence

Chapter 1

Aenon enters the strange mansion he had seen a couple days ago, when he goes in the door behind him closes shut!Aenon looks around, to observe the strange mansion. "Hm.." he would go on to explore the mansion... As Aenon heads towards the door, a bright light appears in front of him, revealing Kris/ guiding light"Eh? Who are you...? and how did you come here...?"she spoke in a low and gentle voice."Ah. I'm unsure, I just wanted to explore this mansion, as it was a bit interesting, who are you...?" She would slowly drift toward Aenon"I'm the guiding light.... although you may refer to me as kris.... You are oddly familiar...have you been here before...?""Apologies, but no I have not."“I see... Unfortunately...you are trapped here by a curse...there is a way to leave but...no one has ever left...could you be the first to leave perhaps...?""Oh... A curse huh. I see... Do you know what's happened and why there's a curse, and why some people are bound here? Do you perhaps any Idea at least small details on how to break the curse?" She sighed "I'm afraid I cannot tell you...the person who has cursed this home has disabled me to tell you much..." she lifts her hand and suddenly chains appear all around her"Many spirits and..... monsters.... are bound here...." he lowers her hand again and the chains disappear "Although...I can accompany you throughout your journey and provide you with information about some things...". He'dobserve, as he looked back up at her. "I see... That's understandable and quite expected, your company would be quite great, Miss Kris, earning knowledge and Information is going to be the most fundamental thing..." "Thats great...!" They continue and go to the other room.... Aenon enters the room. There's a strange noise coming towards him...."Quickly! choose where to hide...!" Aenon hides behind the pillar. A monster enters the room, hideous and apparently blind- All went silent.... A few moments would pass, and the monster left the room "It left.... you are safe to come out" Aenon took a deep breath. "That was sudden..."" It was...we must be more careful there are many more like it..." "Shall we move on...? or do you need a few moments...?" Aenon takes another breath a cold sweat runs down his cheek, as he immediately recovers and calm down. "I'm quite alright, No need for another moment." "Alright then let's move on then...!" (End of Chapter....)

Chapter 2 Aenon and Kris continue on, they arrive in a different room "Ah, the door is locked...perhaps it is somewhere around here...." Aenon looks in all the possible places and finds the following items...; a key and a book that reads: "History of the Magnificia family”, a ripped picture, The picture contained a woman and a child.... the woman and the child's faces had been blurred out...On the back of the picture there was a code..."6782" he used it to open a nearby chest which contained a gree herb and a brooch fragment. Aenon would get a flashback that he doesn't recall happening... Start of flashback young teenage girl would be arguing with her parents "You don't understand...! I love him...!" "Nonsense! He's a human! and you're a sorcerer! I forbid you from ever seeing him ever!" the girl would storm away to her room End of flashback.... "Ah, are you alright dear...?" "...- Ah, Yes- I'm fine... What are the uses of the Green Herb?" He'd hold his head slightly, as he was a bit confused on why he got a flashback of something that he doesn't remember happening... "Ah...these types of herb restore a small portion of your health..." They would continue on after a small break... They found an unknown key, After they entered the room, A baby's cries can be heard...Upon approaching the source, Aenon finds another brooch fragment thus giving him another flashback....Start of flashback

The young girl would be walking with another person, holding his hand

"I'm happy I get to spend time with you @#$%$#@...."

"I'm happy as well Michael" she smiles

Suddenly people come out of hiding and take away the girl and the man...separating them...

end of flashback... Aenon slightly stumbles, holding his head "Another one... Again..." "Are you alright...???" "I- I'm alright." She'd notice the brooch fragment in his hand, she'd be surprised "Oh my...is that...?" "Hm? What is it?" "T-that was..." She'd immediately go silent "I cannot say...but that brooch belongs to.... the owner of this mansion..." "It's... Not complete yet It's just a second fragment. I have the other one right here..." She'd think for a moment "I suppose.... you could restore this brooch, though.... this is not ordinary brooch, that's all I can say for now..." "Alright.. I see, Ill restore the brooch then." "Alright...Shall we move on...?" (End of chapter)

Chapter 3 He'd nod. They'd go to the next door. it was locked... "Ah- maybe the key you found earlier will work?" You unlocked the door, inside a child got startled and pointed a wand at Aenon: “W-who are you...!?" "Ah-" He'd be quite taken aback but managed to keep his composure. "I'm Aenon. I'm not a bad person. Please lower your wand." Kris would appear behind him "Who are talki-....Opal....??? How are you here...??? it's been over a hundred years...!" She would go closer to him cupping his face in her hands: "How long have you been here...? " "I....don't know...I'm scared..." "Ah.. over a hundred years?" He'd approach him. "That's quite.. it must've been hard, then.. would you want to escape from here with me? Opal was it?" "B-but...wont miss Crystal be mad...?" "Oh?"

Hm... It seems another subject is involved, they might be deeply connected with what's happening, especially if he mentions us escaping will make her mad.. Though her identity is not properly known yet. Perhaps Miss Kris knows of her. (<-thoughts hehe )

"Why would she be mad, Opal?" "Ah...well...I'm not sure yet...she wont be mad at you I'm sure...but as for us...that might be a bit of a problem..."

"M-miss Crystal wants to find a person who can free her from here a-and if we escape there will be no one to lead the people to her..." "Hm.. I see...If I help in freeing her, would she let you escape? Though without proper information and knowledge.. This would be far from complex.." "U-uhm if she leaves...the person who helped her escape will take her place...a-and...I don't know what will happen Cuz...miss crystal isn't that nice to other anymore..." "Oh..." He'd slightly think. "Though, there's a lot of options, it's still possible that you guys can be unbound without her being set free right?" "Well there is one other way... though its incredibly dangerous...The only other way to let all the spirits fee in this mansion is to kill Miss crystal herself..." "...A life for many it seems." "How many spirits are here Miss Kris?" "80..." "That's a lot..." "Perhaps more..." "Then, Miss Crystal's story, and perhaps her reasoning do you know of it? And are you able to tell, or are you bound not to?" "I believe I can tell some points...if I say too much then she might take away my life right here" "N-no...!" he'd grab onto her dress "..Ah, please don't say it, I'll learn of it myself Miss Kris." Aenon would open and look through the book he found... The book contained generations upon generations of the Magnificia family, on the last pages, Crystal Magnificia. was there, not much was known about her... He slightly furrowed his brow. "Hm." Crystal Magnificia: She was the most powerful sorcerer in her family, she showed great signs of bravery and passion towards magic...She was reported to be executed on 4th October (1923) after the people had come to know she had fallen in love with a human and breaking the rules of the family she revived herself which made her get executed twice.... she was said to have a son...although... no one knows what happened to him...His name was reported to be Aenon after this information the words had faded away....It finally struck Aenon...he realized who Miss Crystal was... "Miss Crystal.." "She's....She's, related to me...." (End of chapter mwehehe >:))

Chapter 4 He'd close the book. Both Kris and Opal would be surprised "Are you certain..?" "Yes, There's no doubt." "Thats why you were so familiar...! you really are the Aenon Magnificia...!" "I'm sorry?.." "Well if you are related to Miss crystal, you must know that before she was executed, she placed a sp - er...curse that one day you would return to set her free...she showed me your face of what you would look like when you came here....if you do set her free ...she'll-!" she cuts herself off "Mmh...I cant say....but its not good...her soul has been corrupted over time... she's no longer kind..." "Ah...I see...Then.. Is it still possible to purify her soul?" "Not that I know of..." a part of her slightly fades "Auntie kris....? why are you....fading....?" "Miss Kris? - No- Ah.. You-.. You told me details.." "I told you I could learn it myself why would you-" "Ah...I had to...besides...it is my time to go soon...I've been here too long I suppose..." "You cant go now auntie...!" "Don't worry Opal...I had to go at some point...though...not yet it seems...I'll accompany you two for the time I have left then..." Sniff "O-okay...."

She gets down to his level and cups his face in her hands "Don't worry opal...you are a strong boy...I mean I doubt any other child would be able to survive a 100 years..." she slightly smiled "This person, is not like the others...he will take care of you when I'm gone..." " Okay auntie Kris..." She turns to Aenon "I hope you do.... Opal is like my own child...that's all I want, just for him to be treated well... Will you...?" "Of course, Miss Kris. I will treat him with fulfilled kindness, and make sure he will be happy, I'll do anything to fulfill your wish." She smiles "Thank you Aenon...you are a very soul kind...I'll make sure you and Opal can escape from here...unscathed..." "Thank you Miss Kris.. Your guidance has been the most important ever since I've arrived here. I thank you for the knowledge, and for your kindness." Opal would go up to Aenon. Aenon does a bad attempt of smiling. As he'd hug him "I'll be sure to protect you, and we'll escape from here. And you'll finally be free." He smiles gleefully as he hugs him back "O-okay...!” "But auntie Kris...what happened to mister jade...?"

"Sorry...?"

"Mister Jade! the person what came here a week ago...?"

she'd be surprised "There was another person here...? Do you remember where they are...?" "Ah, Another person? It seems it's best we move fast to find them.." "Mhm! they had shiny silver hair, and they were really nice...! they said that they got dragged here and got trapped here..." "Silver Hair..? Ah- Never mind. Let's go look for them" The 3 went on to find the other person They went through the 3rd door and arrived in a library

Jade held his breath as he heard someone enter, he was curled up into a ball, hiding under the table "Ah.. God, finally.."

Aenon felt a presence nearby. "Hmm... We finally reached the Library. Seems like he's not here? Let's search around we still may find something." "Okayyy!"

He'd lightly gasp and covered his mouth Opal...! "Oh? Mister! I heard something!"

"I think it was from over here...!" he went closer to where he was hiding

he'd slightly tear up, still covering him mouth trying not to make any noises No no no no no....! Aenon would follow Opal. "Helloooo?" he would walk around till he stood Infront of the table. "Oh.. Hm.. You heard it here?" "Mhm! it sounded kinda like a gasp" He would close his eyes, crying, hoping for the best while still covering his mouth. Opal would look under the other tables. "Anyone or anything under Opal?" "Nope not here!" he'd look under the table where he was hiding "Mister jade! there you are!" "Ah, The person you were talking about?" He'd look under Aswell. Jade would look at them, his teary eyes widened in surprise "A-aenon...?" His eyes widened. "Ah..." Jade would hug him, slightly trembling Aenon would hug back, caressing his head. "It's okay.. You're fine now.." he would hold on to Aenon and silently cry

Kris would appear behind them but she didn’t see jade closely "Ah, you found them, seems like you two know each other" "Ah.. Jade.." He'd hug him tightly as he closed his eyes. "You're safe.." (End of chapter <3)

Chapter 5 "I'm glad that you are.." "hic..I missed you so much...! I was so s-scared..." "I know.. I know... It's alright now Jade..."He'd caress his head as Jade held onto him and cried. "B-but what are you doing here...?""Ah.. I decided to go here, but I got trapped by a curse." Kris would look at jade and she'd be surprised "Ah....seem we meet again my dear...remember me...?" He would look up at her, his eyes widened in surprise "Mom...?" "Ah.. Miss Kris is your mother Jade?""Mhm! I haven't since for a century...!" "Oh...?" He was quite surprised. "Oh- right- I haven't told you before- oops Hehe...." He chuckled slightly. Kissing Jade. Jade kisses him back "Awhh :) my baby is all grown up :'), oop no peeking for you young man" she turns Opal around so he wouldn't see"Wha- I wanna seeee!" jade blushes "Mommmm I'm not a kid anymore...I'm literally 124-" "I'm just glad you're safe Jade." He smiles and hugs him again "Mph... auntie I'm tired...." "Ah...hm... how about we find a place to rest for now...?" "Alright." He'd hold Jade's hand They all would go to the next room "Oh gosh...isn't this Miss crystal's room...?""It is...but...we are safe here no one can enter this room..." He'd think about looking around. Opal yawned and cling onto Kris she smiled and picked him up "Go ahead, you can sleep dear..." "Mph... okay..." he sleeps while holding onto her <3 "Are you tired Jade?" "Ah, just a bit..."He'd hold him close, placing his head onto his chest, as he caressed his head "Let's rest up." jade slightly blushes "Alright..."He'd sit down on the bed, as he held Jade close, with Jade's head on his chest and his hand onto his head. Jade would fall asleep in his arms, holding onto his clothes. She would smile and sat down with Opal on the rocking chair. He would hold on to Kris's clothes as he slept... Moments later, Aenon woke up, but... he was all alone... jade, miss kris, and opal werent there.. where did they go? He got up and started to look around and saw that the room looked as if, it was practically new again, soon he realized that he was invisible to anyone else in that mansion, he had gone back in time! Moments later a young woman came into the room, it seemed as if she was upset.. who was she...? {End of chapter ( srry, lost motivation to make it longer.)}
