Chapter Text
Rapunzel was in complete shock. Varian stood before her, with the moonstone in his hands.
“VARIAN?” Rapunzel cried. Eugene and Cassandra stood aghast. Varian’s clothes transformed into a black armor, as strong as the rocks. Blue spikes covered his sleeves. And his hands were covered in black gloves. His eyes and hair stripe glow bright blue. His hair was turquoise.
Varian chuckled maliciously, “I told you Rapunzel. I don’t care for you. I don’t care for the welfare of Corona, nor this kingdom. All I care about is saving my family.”
“But Varian,” Rapunzel cried as she tried to reason with him, “we told you we would find a way to free your father!”
“And how’s that turned out! We have traveled for a year now, and we found NOTHING! I researched everything I could about the amber and nothing! There is no scientific solution to my mess! I don’t approve of magic but if it’s the only way to save my father then so be it! Your magic could not save him. So I guess this will.”
Rapunzel starts walking toward him, “Varian, please?” She begged.
Varian shot multiple rocks toward her, “STAY BACK!” Rapunzel loses her balance and falls into Eugene’s hands.
Eugene frowned, “Varian!”
“How’s it going over here?” Lance barged in, and unfortunately at the wrong time.
“Not now Lance,” Eugene grits his teeth. Adira could see what was happening and charged toward Varian with her sword. Varian easily fought back by spurting black rocks in her path. A rock grows and pushes Adira’s sword out of her hand into mid air. Varian catches it. Varian runs through the entrance to escape his once close friends. Rapunzel runs after him.
“Varian stop!” Rapunzel yelled. Varian just kept running.
King Edmund saw Varian running through the hallways, “Varian! Enough of this! What would your father think of this?”
Varian stopped. Just hearing about his father broke his heart. All he wants is his father back. All he wants is to clean up his mess. All he wants is to make him proud. Why are they so against him wanting to save his father? Varian arched his eyebrows when he heard Rapunzel coming through. He’s had enough of these fake friends. He looks once more at Rapunzel. She held out her hand crying, “Please.”
“I have nothing left to lose Princess.”
Varian ran across the bridge and before he left for good, he raised the Shadow blade and cut the bridge down. Varian puts the sword in his scabbard, and walks away.
