Listen to this while reading:

The time had come at last for (Y/N) to leave Twisted Wonderland and all throughout the school was a heavy weight of grief and sadness as a dear friend was to leave once and for all. You knew the sacrifice you were about to make, for once you stepped into the mirror you would never be able to return to the magical school ever again. As everyone gathered in the Mirror Chamber a heavy rain of sadness drenched the land outside and thunder roared in frustration, surely a certain Hornton was behind this storm. Crowley stood by the mirror and watched as you made your way down the aisle and to the mirror.

Malleus appeared suddenly in a burst of green flames, you pause your steps and he approaches with sad emerald eyes. He offers you his arm for you to link with his own for the last time. You link arms and he walks you down the aisle and to the mirror, the air dense with sadness and heartbreak.

“I once hoped that a walk down an aisle would not be for this…” Malleus said sadly as he looked into your eyes. “I hoped it was for a much happier and joyous occasion…”

You let some tears spill from your eyes as you approach the Mirror of Darkness, Crowley takes your hand and leads you into position, Malleus stands behind you staring, dreading what comes next.

“(Y/N), wait…” Malleus pulls you close and places a long, passionate kiss on your lips one last time. “I will always love you, (Y/N)…Always.”

You kiss him once more for the final time, tears pouring from your eyes like a waterfall, your face red and puffy as you cry. You vow that if the time ever comes, you will see him again, you are unsure of how you will do so but you will.

“No matter how long it takes, Hornton, I will be back in your arms again…” You sob as a glowing light engulfs your body and you slowly fade away, returning to your own world.

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

You awaken in your room, as if you had never left in the first place. It’s night time, the moon is full and its glow illuminates your bedroom. The faces of your friends and classmates still fresh in your mind, their sorrowful faces and the echoing of their cries as you were about to forever leave them. You could still feel Malleus’s arms around you as you lay in your bed, you choke out a sob knowing he is forever out of your reach- or so you thought.

There, on your ring finger was a ring, a ring he gave to you at Noble Bell College during that trip to Fleur City. The night after the incident, once the performance had concluded, Malleus stayed behind in the hall and placed the ring upon your finger as a symbol of promise to you until the day he may make himself yours fully and forever.

The emerald glimmered in the moonlight and your heart ached terribly, the green was the same as his eyes. The eyes you had hoped to wake up to every morning with a passionate kiss and a gentle hand caressing your still sleepy face. No, that was gone now, so was your Hornton…

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

For many days after you left Twisted Wonderland the land had been plagued with thunderstorms. Malleus was a mess, it was a wonder he had not overblotted yet again. Silver, Sebek, and Lilia all knew grieving took time, Malleus. He spent many nights crying himself to sleep looking at your photographs, reading letters you wrote him and watching videos the two of you made together.

As months passed he knew he had to move on, it was difficult, and his heart was still telling him to stay in the past and cling to you, the promise ring on his finger was one of his many reminders of you… every now and then he would wander to the school courtyard and wish into the well for you to return to him, he did not care how, he just wanted you back. Soon enough, his visits to the wishing well became less frequent, knowing his wishes would likely never come true.

He stopped visiting Ramshackle dorm all together too, the dorm became too painful for him to visit. Even your memorial that was setup outside the dorm was too painful to look at. He did, on occasion, pay it a visit and leave flowers but it made him sick to his stomach to even go there, it was not the same as going to the dorm to pay you a visit at night.

You used to tease him by calling him Romeo when he would sneak to Ramshackle and throw pebbles at your window to get you to peek out or even run down the stairs and outside to meet him. He missed that, oh he missed it terribly…

He paid the Shroud brothers a visit to see if they could find some way to get him to your world, of course they both sadly shook their heads and told him it was impossible.

“Look, Malleus… I get it, you want (Y/N) back but… even if we could, which we can’t- believe me I’ve tried for months now, dude, I just can’t crack whatever magical code this thing has- it’s too OP even for a genius hacker like yours truly. T-that’s srsly saying something, man!” Idia sighed, slumping back into his gaming chair in defeat.

“Malleus, if Big Brother and I ever find anything at all I can assure you that you would be the first to know… we cannot guarantee we will find out how to connect our worlds again but if we do I will personally pay you a visit, okay?” Ortho replied, putting a gentle robotic hand on Malleus’s shoulder in an act of comfort.

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more, you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

A few years later you marry and have children of your own, your husband, coincidentally, reminds you so much of your Hornton. His eyes are a similar green, his hair as black as ebony, his smile sweet yet mischievous. He also had a fascination with old buildings and architecture, gargoyles too. If anything it was almost as if you truly married Malleus- well, the Malleus of your world.

You lay in your hospital bed with a handsome newborn boy in your arms, Malleus is his name, you wanted to have a piece of him in your world, even if it was only by name. Your husband asked you about the inspiration for the name as he thought it was indeed an interesting choice but not opposed to it in the slightest.

“It was the name of someone in a story I read once, thought it would fit him…” You smile softly at the sleeping infant in your arms, your daughter, Aurora, climbs up next to you and rests her head on your arm.

“Was it like how you came up with my name? Naming me after the Sleeping Princess from that story, mummy?”

You nod, a stray tear falling from your eyes as you think of all your memories of the days of old… truly the heart wanted to stay in the past despite all the time that had gone.

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go 'til we're gone

Malleus had moved on as well- or as much as he could possibly manage. He married Sebek’s older sister and had two children, his second child, a baby girl, was named after you. He cried tears of happiness the second he held her in his arms. Like you with your children, he too wanted a small piece of you in his life that he gave the child the gift of your name to carry on and hopefully pass down to her own children.

Malleus sat in her nursery rocking her with tearful eyes, she had your name. You would have loved his baby girl if you could have met her. He could only wonder if you married well and were gifted with children of your own.

He knew of other classmates of yours and his that too were blessed by children and amazing lives after graduation from Night Raven College.

Riddle became a father of twin daughters and a successful lawyer. Vil continued his acting career and married a wonderful woman who gave him three beautiful children, a boy and two girls. Azul became a successful realtor for multimillion dollar homes and properties and had a son. Kalim found love and married well, he and his wife are now expecting baby number five. Malleus had written to each of them expressing his utmost congratulations for the births of their beautiful children, they too sent their own messages to check on him and make sure all was well even after the years had passed.

Malleus sat back in the rocking chair with a sigh, putting his daughter atop his chest, one hand atop her back and one under her bum to support her. He knew if you could see everyone again you would be so happy, everyone was doing so well. Malleus still checked in with the Shroud brothers but neither of them had an update on connecting the worlds, Idia had even paid the Briar Valley a visit to show his findings on the data he had collected but with no success in the connection.

And still, his heart must go on…

Love was when I loved you

One true time I'd hold to

In my life, we'll always go on

You became a successful author and illustrator, spending many years writing about your journey in Twisted Wonderland, eventually the story got picked up by a major company and became a popular mobile game with a television program in the works.

Your children loved the stories, even taking part in special events for the story releases and dressing up for conventions. No one would ever know that what they were reading and playing was based on a true story about your own adventures, hearing the same words they said to you or to another. However, this was now their story where they played as themselves, you wanted them to have a piece of the magic.

You saw the occasional person wearing merchandise from your story, the keychains of Grim brought a tinge of sadness to you knowing that he was gone too. You designed dolls of each of the housewardens, the doll of Malleus being a top seller.

“See, Hornton? You are loved even in this world… I made sure to tell your story here too…”

And told it you did. In multiple interviews with the press about your story you said that this was merely a tale that had come to you once upon a dream, but little did they all know that this story was a true story, not a Dream no matter how crazy it may sound. Yes, a fae prince who constantly got forgotten from invites coming to pay you nightly visits in your dilapidated dormitory sounds insane, but so does being picked up by a horse drawn carriage while your body lays within the confines of a coffin only to be taken to an arcane academy where all the boys there seem to have ties to fairytale stories in your own world. However, those fairytales for you were their reality. A true twisted wonderland.

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on (why does the heart go on?)

Many years have now passed, you are now old. Same would go for the others in the world you had left behind, some gone, some clinging to life. Malleus himself, while old, was not yet done with his time. Idia’s son, as well as grandson have made a breakthrough in finding a way to crack part of the code that separated your world and theirs.

Idia’s grandson and son burst into the throne room where Malleus sat. The boy, Demetrius, approached Malleus nervously, a small smile on his face and a nod. Malleus knew exactly what the boy was saying even without words.

“M-Malleus, my son cracked it- well partially… you see, it’s only able to slip small things through- perhaps photographs or even letters? It can reach (Y/N) in her world!”

Malleus stood up, gasping, a stray tear fell from his eyes as he made his way towards the Shroud family.

“I-is this true…? Please… tell me you don’t jest…”

“Malleus… My boy is telling the truth… we sent a maddol into their world, we received a signal from the other world’s news outlets that a mysterious currency made it into their world. Baffled the world- turns out there’s a whole government that believes this is a threat fuehehehe!” Idia’s son, Theo and his son, Demetrius snickering at what they had done. “My dad, Idia, would’ve wanted you to come with us and see what we have gotten… he entrusted this project to us.”

Malleus goes with the Shrouds to the Isle of Woe, a photo of himself and you in his hands and other photos he had collected from schoolmates who had sent him letters over the years. Before him stood a portal, strong enough to send the photos to your world, giving the news another bout of confusion. Malleus quickly wrote a letter, hoping you would read it, even see a small glimpse of it.

He wrote of how he had been doing, how Riddle’s daughters became counselors at Night Raven College, how Rook became a skilled archeologist with an incredible family to follow his legacy after he passed. Deuce’s daughter married Ace’s son of all people, and of how unfortunately Deuce had died in action as an officer. Malleus wrote about Silver’s legacy in the Briar Valley, opening homes for orphaned children and creating special opportunities for them. He wrote of Sebek too, his time as an incredible knight before he passed. He wrote of everyone, he wanted you to know everything about the world you had left.

He sealed the letter in the envelope, kissing it and sending it through the portal with the photographs… praying that you would find them.

——

On the other side of the portal you sat in your home, your grandson and son taking care of you, you were almost one hundred and one by now but you were doing well, still quick as a whip and able to move around as if you were still in your seventies. On the television you heard a voice on the news say that a strange envelope had appeared out of nowhere with photographs of people who looked like they were from the story you had written, and the news anchor began to read the letter.

It was him, Hornton…

“Turn that up, dear!” You call to your grandson who turns up the volume, there on the screen you see a photo of you and Malleus in Noble Bell College together. “Oh by the Great Seven! Hornton!”

“Grandma, isn’t that…!” You nod, smiling at him with tears in your eyes.

“It’s been eighty four years and I can still smell the damp wood of the old Ramshackle dorm…”

Once more, you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

You pass away, joining everyone else in heaven, you see all your friends from Night Raven College again. They all look as they did all those years ago, young and fresh faced. You all stood there in the Mirror Chamber awaiting the final member to join you all. The housewardens and others stood in their respective rows as you stood by the mirror.

What may have been days for you all in heaven, it was almost hundreds of years later when Malleus had passed away. The gates of Night Raven College opened again and Malleus walked through, he saw all his old schoolmates and his family, Silver, Sebek and Lilia smiled brightly as they led him inside. Then he saw it…

You were standing by the mirror, turning around happily with Grim by your side. You smiled at Malleus, extending a hand to him. He runs over to you and holds you close, kissing you passionately and the entire school cheers. It had been so many years and all of them had waited for this moment, for you both to join them and be together at last.

“I never stopped waiting, my love…”

You're here, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart and

My heart will go on and on
