"Well, I would agree. It's been much too long." he says, smiling. It wasn't an evil smile, but more sincere.
"I have multiple questions to ask you." I say.
"I'm sure you do. But for now, I would say you need to change." he says.
"Why?" I ask.
"You've been wearing that dress throughout your stay here, haven't you? That's quite rude, if you'd ask me. We'll get you changed up. And for your little friend, he'll stay with me." he says, looking at TLo.
"I would like it better if we could go back to our cell, thanks." I say.
He snaps his fingers, and a soldier gives me a neatly stacked pile of clothes, with a pair of black combat boots sat on the top. I sigh, and a soldier shows me to a changing room.

Two minutes later, I'm wearing a black t-shirt, skinny blue jeans, with combat boots fit over them. I walk out, and the king starts clapping.
"What's your problem?" I ask.
"You look a lot more like you did when you were just a little kid." He says, smiling. "Now, what to do with you. You, my lovely daughter, shall stay with me, and help with the creation of the New Beginning. Your friends, well, they can't. The girl will stay in that cell, and the boy, well, tomorrow night will be his execution." he says, not showing any sympathy in his expression.
I pause for a moment, letting anger fill my veins, "You think, after all the torment I've been put through because of you, I'll join your dumb quest to kill real people to create fake ones? Because if you do, you have serious issues." I say. He looks hurt, and I smile. 
"I'm your father. I'm in charge of you." he says.
"My father's dead. He died along time ago, in a story that is lost in time. You, Mr., are not my father." I say.
"I died to make a better future for you." he says.
"Your reasoning doesn't make any sense! Killing my friends and family? Stealing my emotion to make me a soulless robot? You call that a better future?!" I yell.
"I wanted you to be a part of this peace we're creating! You can't get hurt anymore!" he yells.
"You don't know how many times I've heard that. You can't get hurt, you can't get hurt, you can't get hurt!" I scream.
"Silence! Guards, take them down to the dungeon again. The execution is moved to today, but get two more executioners. We have many criminals to take care of." he says, and I grunt.
We walk back down to the cells, and I take a peek at Ali. She still hangs unconscious, and I frown. A second before I step back into the cell, I slip a key out of the guard's pocket, and the red head locks the door.
"That was so simple, it's stupid." I smile, holding up the key.
"What's going on? The king's you dad? What?" he says.
"It's a long story, but when I saw his eyes, the same color as mine, I just knew it was him. But anyways, back before I was transferred to Unknown, my dad committed suicide." I say.
"Well, how can you not be scared of him?" he asks.
"I didn't say I wasn't afraid." I say, holding out my trembling hands.
"Oh, okay." he says. I unlock the door, being careful not to touch the magic barrier. The barrier disappears, and I kick the bars, causing them to crumble into a pile of rust. I do the same with Ali's, except when I inserted the key into the keyhole of the chains, it doesn't work.
"Ugh. Um, we'll have to come back for her. But the plan is, attack the main guards, sneak into the potion room, and find the one labeled 'Nuclear'. There's only one, and it has the power to blow the whole place up. So we need to be careful, and get Ali out before dropping it in the throneroom." I say.
"How do you know they have a potion room? Heck, how do you know about that kind of potion?" TLo asks.
"My friend Elle. She was a potion mastermind. And, this building is designed just like the old government building back home, and I've done quite a bit of wandering in there." I answer.
"Hm. I guess that makes sense." he says.
We run to the door, and open it with a squeak. As planned, the two guards from before try to attack, but they ended up being pretty weak, and passed out with a punch to the stomach.
"Time to put the plan in action." I say, running to the potion room.
