Aren was frozen when Jude said that. “R-Red? H-He is real? I always thought.....” Aren thought long ago back to his times in the lab. He was only six or seven at the time so he didn’t know any better but Red was.... “Red....I thought....he was my imaginary friend. But apparently he isn’t so imaginary. He would always show up and dissapear randomly, often showing up when I needed comforting and left once I felt better. But I didn’t think he could have possibly been the Red King.”

An imaginary friend. Only he'd been seeing a vision.

"That's the red king," Jude said, a tone of finality in your voice. "And you've been involved in this whole thing for years."

There might not be a way to get out of it. Not for Aren.

It was a grim thought.

Aren thought for a second but then...he smiled. “Red.....is the Red King. You may see it as something grim but for me...it is the best outcome that could have ever happened. When I ‘imagined’ Red I had wanted him to be the fatherly figure I never got to experience. Red did that and more. He was one of the few people I could trust and one in a small handful that made me smile everytime they visited. Now that I know this though, I can’t help but think ‘Red’ will be giving me a long past due visit.”

Jude did not agree. Mostly because of the way Red had spoken. But part of it was also just that he'd gotten no say in things. That his life had just been picked for him.

"I... guess?" Jude said, sounding not sure at all. "This is risky, though. You should be talking to an expert, someone who knows magic." Which wasn't him. Magic had never been his thing, and while Giltenn knew some stuff, it wasn't enough.

Aren nodded softly. “Yes. Okay I will Jude. Probably best to do that anyway with this whole me being a portal to another realm thing. Thank you so much Jude. You’ve helped me out so much.” Aren moved up to hug Jude before running off to go seek an expert on these matters.
