The tall mountain comes into view with snow still raging down. Soon the inside is shown and there was Rapunzel, Xavier, and Cassandra turning on a mechanism.

The Demanitus Device.

It almost looked like an orrery and it began to turn, making the teal colored crystals on the ends spark with electricity. That gave the whole device more power and a teal beam of light shoots up.

The beam began to swirl and a very powerful wind blew back the storm, making it stop snowing.

The place rumbles from the strong movement of the spinning arms. Thus causing two giant cracks to crawl up the wall. Two bright green lights burst and fly up and out from the top of the mountain.

“Zhan Tiri!”

Something to green flies out toward the castle and one melts into the shadows, following in the same direction.

You open your eyes and feel someone holding you tightly.

“Are you feeling alright?” He asks softly.

You stay close and frown, humming weakly. “Mmhm.”

Varian takes your arm and you scoot a little as he examines your mark. “Was this always there?”

You shake your head, “No…..it appeared when Rapunzel had gotten her hair back.” You hold your arm, “I didn't tell anyone about it.”

“Why didn't you at least tell me?”

This time you glance up at Varian, “I was scared.”

It gets quiet and Varian glances at the window, “You always scared me, not because of what went on, but when you get hurt….” He sighs, “(____)......I….I want you go go back to the castle.”

You sit up, “Why?”

Varian sits up too and pulls you close, “(____). I don't want you near these rocks and….I know you're going to try and get my dad out…” He takes a shaky breath, “.....I can't have you get hurt if it's not working right.”

You cling to him, “I'm not leaving you here alone, Varian. Just let me stay for awhile and take care of you.”

He knew you wouldn't leave and he was glad you were staying, but he still didn't want you near this place. “Okay.” He pulls away and smiles softly, “Few days then you head back.”

“Fine.”

Varian chuckles lightly and holds up your gloves, “Here. I'm guessing these help and I don't want you touching the rocks without them.”

You smile softly and put them on. Your hand goes up to cup one side of his face, “We'll get through this, okay? I'm still going to be here no matter how far apart we are.”

Varian closes his eyes and leans into your touch, “I know we will. The power of two.”

You hum, “Power of two.” You kiss his cheek and get up.

Three days wasn't enough, but it also went by quickly. During that time, you kept Varian away from his lab. It was easy. Most of the time he wanted to sleep and stay close to you. So you didn't mind when he hold you while he slept, plus you read his Rider books out loud and brush your hand through his hair.

Those nights or at random times he would cry in their sleep. You would wipe his tears and hum softly.

Mimi and Rudiger would help too and sometimes they would try to pull a tray of food into Varian’s room. What made you slightly scared was that the rocks were slowly breaking through an empty part of Varian's room.
