Chapter 377 - Queen's Crown

"Darius, care to do the honours?"

"But I'm too….."

"I'll do it.

*Phhhueeeee*

"In light of us coming together once more; I hereby announce today as a celebration. May every year forth, be remembered just as it is.

Four scores and more ago, we were all divided, struggling to come together, but also clinging tightly to the past in our own ways. We all...held with both hands; but Ruby has done what none of us could have.

To rule, one must lead; one must sacrifice; and one must give up."

*Hoooop....Tisssssh*

"Just as these Animals are jumping through the ring of fire, to pledge their obedience; I ask...will you?

*BOOM*

...….*Vroo.*

*Vroo*

*Vroo*

*Vroo.

*Vroo*

I welcome you, Children, to the Castle of Fire.

If anything befall you, they befall me."

"We shall wear your crown with pride."

"Well, not your crown, because that is yours and all, but we will...."

*Punch*

"Ouch, what was that for?"

"Don't worry. I, nor anyone here will push you to grow up too fast."

"That may be a problem, my Queen."

"What news do you bring?"

"It's about Ruby."

"Didn't Natysh take her home?"

"Eeeee…..yes."

"..............I'll handle it."

"Elwin, let me come with you. If my sister can't handle her, then what chance do you have?"

"My Coach, Sir."

"Right this way."

"ELWIN....... Remember, she's lost in the past; but she is still one of us."

"Come on, Rainbow."

*Vroom*

"Ruby, where'd you take us?"

"Somewhere safe."

"Elwin is not the danger."

"Mom, you'll be safe here. Chopped will protect you, and be your new home."

"Ruby, are you listening to me? I said...."

"Natysh, I thank you for looking out after her, truly; but she is the last I have of my past.

It's time I take you home."

"Soups ready, girls."

"Thanks, Mama, but maybe next time.

I have an idea how we can change all of this."

"I'll come with."

"No.

You caused enough as is."

*Zroom*

"Elwin, you sure about this?"

"If Ruby is clinging onto the past so much, we need to figure out why?

Help me with the door, will you?"

"Yes, but here?"

"Every Kid had a room; an outlet where they were just them.

If we can find what made Ruby....Ruby...."

"We can figure out why she has so much rage."

"Since no one has been here in forever, it should be easy. All we need is the....log book?"

"Seems someone has frequented here recently."

"My dad never came here. He...."

"But Ruby has."

"Why would she? She….."

"Is cleaning up her past and doesn't want anybody else to know."

"We really need to find that room."
