Stardrop- A Tangled Adventure ( Hiatus/Slow)

Ready, Set, Confusion, Go!

^ low effort drawing, but eh its still there for no reason

Rapunzel didn't what was going on. Everything was dark. Cold. Silent. Eerie. It was...so strange. She felt like she had been here before, yet everything seemed unfamiliar. It was so comfortable, yet out-of-place. 

Wha-? Where am I? What's happening? Am I dreaming? Or? 

All around her she could feel a sort-of warmth, like she used too when using her hair to heal someone. But this was different. It was more...rough, than her power. 

Suddenly, the ground, or what felt like ground, even though she couldn't see it, began to shake. Shake violently. Then, silence. Again. Nothing. Nothing at all...

~~~

"WHA-?" Rapunzel yelped as her body shot up.

"WHAH! R-Rapunzel?!" Varian replied in shock.

"Varian?" Rapunzel said, her voice calming down. "What are you doing? Where are we?" 

"Oh, um, I was...trying to help you...wake up. We're in my lab back at the castle. Eugene is here too." Varian responded, pointing towards the now startled Eugene who had been watching Varian work. Understanding the indirect question pointed towards him, Eugene got up and walked over to the table where Rapunzel and Varian were.

"Hey, sunshine. Don't worry, we really are at the castle. I brought you here after you collapsed from the energy surge that happened earlier." Eugene comforted Rapunzel.

"Oh...ok..." Rapunzel muttered. "Well, uh, thanks Varian, for your help. I'm not sure what happened, but I think you pulled me out." 

"Oh, no problem princess...anything I can do to help...especially when it's mostly my fault." Varian replied, getting quieter as he spoke. 

"Your fault?" Rapunzel questioned.

"Ehem...yeah...we'll talk about that later." Eugene said, shooting Varian a look of both compassion and anger. "For now sunshine, we need to make sure you're completely alright. Let Varian look at you once more, and then we'll go outside somewhere to talk." 

"Mhm." Rapunzel nodded, before sitting up completely so the young alchemist could check on her. 

"Everything's fine, as far as I can tell." Varian said, smiling to Rapunzel.

"Thanks!" Rapunzel replied, her mood seemingly already lifting. 

Then, the group got up, Varian grabbed his bag, and they headed out towards the courtyard.

~~~

"So, what happened?" Rapunzel asked.

"..."

"..."

"Well?" Rapunzel asked again, more impactfully.

"I-" Varian began, before getting cut off by Eugene.

"The kid experimented with his powers, and couldn't control them." Eugene stated matter-of-factly.

"..." 

"I'm sorry! I really am! Listen, I already told Eugene what happened for the most part! I was doing research on the Stardrop and the corresponding scroll, and  I was able to translate the incantation from it. I wanted to know what it would do, so I went out back to the field behind Attila's place...and tried it out. I didn't realize it was going to do so much yet nothing at the same time!" Varian pleaded.

"It's ok, it's ok Varian. Calm down. I'm not mad, or anything of the sorts. Just a bit confused. Why didn't you tell me? Or Eugene?" Rapunzel asked, her voice calm and collected.
