Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Inception

At the Minimoy village, Arthur's body was lying down on Selenia's bed, still in his coma-like state. Selenia was there, holding Arthur's hand, concerned. Miro was there to inspect Arthur and figure out what was causing him to be in this coma-like state.

After hours, Miro explained to Selenia, "I'm afraid there isn't much that WE can do to help Arthur out of this state..." Miro looks through his books to find an answer as to what that beam of light could be. "Whatever this beam of light that you say caused this, my only assumption is that it needed something from him." Miro closed his book, finding nothing in there. "I might have to conduct a thorough look through all the books we have; there has to be something." Miro took his books and exited Selenia's home.

Selenia held Arthur's hand tight, holding it at the top of her head.

Outside Selenia's home, King Silfrat was there, overly concerned about Arthur's condition. He ran to Miro and asked "Well?"

Miro sighed and answered "I'm afraid I'm going to have to look through the books to find whatever caused this. I worry for the princess."

"So do I, old friend." Said Silfrat.

"And what of Prince Betameche?" Asked Miro.

"Betameche will pull through, I know he will." Answered Silfrat.

Both Miro and Silfrat walked away from Selenia's homes, unknown to them, Betameche, from underneath, eavesdropped on their conversation. He appeared depressed as every essence of joy left him.

He looked up at Selenia's home and said to himself, "Don't worry, Arthur, I'll find a way."

Miro entered the Minimoy Library and scoured through every book to find something regarding this beam of light, but he was unsuccessful in finding anything. Feeling distressed, he looked up at a portrait of the four heroes of the six kingdoms. He placed his hand on the side of the frame.

Cryptic images begin to cloud Miro's image, each growing violent. He hastily took his hand off the frame, and his body suddenly lost control, causing him to fall to the floor.

The day passed by for both the Minimoy's and the Suchot family. After a day passes by, Archibald Suchot, Arthur's grandfather, is in his studies when he receives word from the Minimoys about the incident involving Arthur. He was about to leave for the Minimoy world, but he was suddenly attacked by an unknown figure; Archibald saw his wife, Daisy, as well as the tribe members, the Bogomatassalai, knocked unconscious.

Archibald looked up and said, "You..." Archibald was knocked out unconscious by the mystery figure.

Back in Minimoy village, Betameche was preparing himself as he was leaving the village in the hunt for the beam of light. He wasted no time in leaving but as he was able to avoid being spotted and entering the tunnel, he was caught by Selenia.

"What do you think you're doing?" Asked Selenia.

"What does it look like I'm doing?!" Said Betameche, acting like an adult.

"To me, it looks like you're about to do something stupid and reckless." Answered Selenia.

"Yeah, well... Maybe it's because I am!" Said Betameche. He tried to carry on through the tunnels but Selenia stopped him.

"You realise we don't even know what it is that we're dealing with!" Said Selenia.

"Yeah, I do know what we're dealing with!" Answered Betameche. "We're dealing with an extraterrestrial things-ma-jic. That's the sole reason as to why my best friend is in the state he's in!"

Betameches pushes Selenia and walks away but he gets caught in a trap.

"You're not going anywhere Betameche." Selenia releases Betameche and drags him back to the village. Betameche tries to break his sister's strong grip but inevitably fails.

Selenia throws Betameche into his house. Four bodyguards were assigned by Selenia to guard every exit Betameche would use to exit, whether it be the door or the window.

"Keep him there." Said Selenia.

"Understood, Princess Selenia." Said one of the guards.

Selenia returned to her home while Betameche was stuck inside his home, trying to figure a way out.

"Come on Betameche." He whispered to himself, "Everyone may say you're dumb but you're a genius in your way!" Betameche tried to sound encouraging. He sighed deeply as he felt like there was nothing he could do to get out of his home and out of the village.

Back surface, the mysterious figure holds a red powder in their hands. They sprinkle the powder around the unconscious Archibald and Daisy as well as the Bogomatassalai. They slowly begin to shrink.
