Chapter Text
It was dark. Cold. Everything felt cold, and painful. His majesty, Romulus, couldn’t even think for his mind was no longer one. It was becoming two. He screamed as what he was feeling was utter agony, but all of a sudden it stopped..as he was split into two, new being.
The two, young sides lay there almost lifeless on the ground, still shaken and paralysed from the experience.
It was a matter of minutes before they both began to move and lift their heads, both groaning in pain. The two new sides were only young boys, looking around the age of eleven or twelve.
The new sides, one red and one green, looked up at one another. Their eyes met, and they both began hyperventilating at the same time as they took in the shocking new features of the other. The two young sides scurried back in fear of one another, their movements still in perfect sync.
Romulus?” They asked simultaneously.
“No. Not anymore.” A voice said grabbing their attention, and the two both looked up to see the moral side.
“Patton?” They asked simultaneously again, recognising the side.
“Yes..” He replied.
“W-Why no more Romulus?” The two asked in sync.
Patton sighed. “He was too much of a danger to Thomas. But it’s okay now, because you two are separated. You’re no longer one, but two sides now. You’re brothers.” Patton explained. He walked over and knelt beside the new red side.
“You’re name is Roman. Okay?” “I..okay.” ‘Roman’ nodded, still frightened. Patton looked over at the green side. “And you..” He began walking over to him. “You’re name is Remus. Alright?” ‘Remus’ nodded up at him, also frightened. Patton then took Remus’ and Roman’s hands, helping them stand up. “What..What’s going to happen now?” Remus asked Patton with a tinge of fear in his voice.
Patton looked down at the young side with a worried expression, remembering what he was supposed to do. “Well, I’m supposed to give you to Deceit and Anxiety in the Dark Side realm..” Patton replied. “And Roman is supposed to come with me to the Light Sides..” “Light Sides?” Roman asked, intrigued. “Dark Sides?” Remus asked, concerned. “Am..am I evil?” He asked Patton.
Patton looked down at Remus and knelt down to his height. “You know, kiddo, I don’t think you are..” The moral side then thought for a moment, and decided to make a risky decision, but it was the right one. “Remus...you’re gonna come with Roman and I. I’m not giving you to the Dark Sides.” Patton smiled at Remus, and the young boys eyes lit up with utter happiness. “Really?! I’m..I’m gonna be good like you?” Remus asked, and Patton nodded with a sympathetic but happy smile. “C’mon, kiddos..” Patton said, hugging them both before taking their hands again and walking out of the mindscape. “Let’s go home..”
But hidden in the shadows, unseen, was an extremely angered side who had been listening in the whole time. “You’re going to regret this, Patton..” A low and smooth voice hissed.
