'Although I'd said I would go back and find allies I don't still feel comfortable leaving Luke behind' Alex thought as he sat alone in front of the Palace
"Alex you wouldn't be sitting here thinking so hard have you had known how strong they are" The prince got out ready to leave
"I know but still...." Alex sighed
'I can't leave my only friend to suffer here'
"Come on you're wasting my time, do you think I like having humans near me" The prince complained
"Fine then, I guess we should get leaving" Alex sighed again
"You really got to stop sighing alot" The prince said as they both teleported outside the queen's Palace
There were two giants in front and as soon as they got there the giants immediately started running to attack them
"You're on your own now" The prince said disappearing into the puddle of water on the floor
'What great help' Alex rolled his eyes
Alex had envisioned the pen in his hand and then it appeared, he then tried to write but the the monsters running causing the ground to rumble he couldn't help but to fall
As soon as he stood up a giant quickly took hold of him as it led him inside the palace where at the Queen sat seated on her thrown
'So that's the queen'
"It seems like I let you humans trespass in Nightshade so much it has given you a false sense of confidence" She spoke angrily
"Correction you outright went and poisoned me and then blame me for seeking out a cure, wow queen I'm really proud of you" Alex really wanted to clap but he was being held tightly by the giant
"Have you no fear!" She yelled
"The only thing I have to fear is your stupidity" Alex retorted back
'No but really have I no fear' He thought to himself
Lily stood behind the pillars looking at Alex and facepalmed, she really wanted to save him but Alex was making the situation worse
She then used her vines to tickle the monster causing it to laugh and let Alex go, Alex then heared a voice in his mind telling him to head towards the door he came from
Alex didn't understand but he ran towards the door anyways and found himself transported home, where his parents hadn't left him
"Oh Alex where have you been your food in on the dinning table" His mother smiled at him
His parents were just how he remembered them, his mother had long black hair and radiant skin while his father was very built
Alex forgot that he had just escaped the Queen in Nightshde and went to the table to have his lunch with his family
"Alex what happened why are you crying" His mother asked
Alex touched his cheeks and noticed that he had been shedding tears, he had no recollection of Nightshade or his parent leaving he didn't know why he cried
His mother came and wiped the tears that fell of his cheeks and decided to cheer him up a little
"Now now don't cry you know your mother will always be here so if there's anything going on you can talk to me"She smiled brightly
"Don't forget me as well" his father added
"Yeah" Alex replied
Alex then repeated the same scene for a hundred times, he jnoew that this was an illusion but he didn't know how to escape
"Oh Alex where have you been your food in on the dinning table" Alex mom said as Alex went to the dining room
Alex eyes the spoon on the table and decided to use the spoon the stab the place where his heart was since death was the only option to take
He then found himself on a mountain and an exit on the other mountain, the only problem was there was no way of getting to the other side, one small mistake could spell his doom
Alex sat down for a moment and sighed, he didn't know what else to do at the moment, this was the first time he didn't have a solution for something, no matter how absurd he always found a solution for himself
'This really shows my lack of intelligence, not being able to tell an illusion at first was pretty stupid of me' He grinded his teeth
'I'm really stupid, I could just write some invisible stairs' Alex smiled as he wrote himself some invisible stairs
He then reached the other side and finally entered the exit and found himself in a blue building, he then felt a crushing wait and then the walls began to show some sitting on them
In order to leave one must be able to bear their sins
'I don't get what sins do I have'
'Was it when I took some of Luke snacks without asking, or when I hit a girl'
'It's not even hard, no matter how innocent a person is they still have little sins accumulated, it just hard to bear it all at once' He thought
The pressure became worse as the ground beneath him began to crack and the pain prevented him from being able to think right, he just had to make sure he doesn't die from the weight
He also tried using his pen but his pen wouldn't also rise due to the pressure he so his only option was waiting
