"Now tell me, uncle! Where is my wife?!" the boy stepped over to Sir Nick as he walked past the rest and enquired about Liss. "It's time for all of you to talk! I have a buttload of questions but not even a pinch of answers, and I hate being the ignorant one in the room! So let's get to know each other a bit, shall we?!"

He summoned a throne that looked like the one in the game of thrones fictional world but instead of swords, it was forged out of white monster bones. It had been adorned by the engravings of many mythical creatures, and unicorns, mermaids, griffins, chimeras, and trolls were just the very few of them. 

"Before we begin…" the boy said as he stationed his bottom on the seat of the throne. He had his one hand resting on the throne arm while the other one was raised up to his eyes with his elbow on the respective throne arm supporting its movement. His fingers were pointing in the direction of his wives, jumping from one to another and to the one before. "Come to papa, my dear darlings!"

His backside could barely occupy a one third of the seat portion on that throne because of his slender and slick body. The throne arms were far from his reach but his tall hands got hold of them like any other normal sized person as his hands were abnormally long, long enough to reach his knees while in a straight standing posture. 

"Are we doing this or not?! I don't have time to deal with your insecurities and comforts! I'm not cut out for that sh*t! So it's best if you two cut the theatrics and do as I f*cking command you to!" the boy yelled at the girl and the woman standing before him, hesitating to follow through his order. His words were edged sharp like kitchen knives shown in cooking tv shows. 

When his girls approached him, the boy asked them to sit on his lap, and suggested those two toward sharing one thigh each. He was blackmailing them to be his girlfriends while sweet talking to them at the same time. And he looked very talented and experienced at that. Soon as Riley and Zoe sat on his stick like legs, he tried to open the list of questions he thought he had made beforehand but it was all in his mind and not real. 

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat so as to divert everyone's attention from the fact that he had been searching for a piece of paper with the supposed list of questions on it that was purely and completely delusional. Looking at the men, one young while the other one old, that were staring at him, he gave voice to his first question. "Enlighten me what year am I in at present? That is if I'm still on a planet named… wait a second, I got its name on the tip of my tongue, girth is it?!" 

"It's earth, sir!" Sir Nick corrected. "Girth is for the circumference of a person's or an animal's waist! FYI!"

"I know what girth means!" the boy frowned at him. 

"Or a band attached to a saddle and fastened around a horse's belly to keep the saddle in place!" Sir Nick added to his sentence. 

"I know that too!" The boy replied,  now he was annoyed. He had a slightly irritated look over his lips, and in his eyes. "Just answer the question I put forth, don't try, and be smart with me, old timer! You wanna catch up to your daughter in time or not?!"

"Liss is gone and whoever the girl that took her was, she was powerful enough to lead us into a full blown trap and we walked straight into the omega's lap. That was the magnitude of how powerful of an illusion spell that she had casted, and I bet my solemn wisdom that wasn't even a tad bit of her power!"

Sir Nick paused to rethink about the dialogue the boy pronounced a second ago, and when he did, he could fully comprehend what he meant and moved his jaws up and down to sound his query. "... You think Liss is still in this dungeon?!"

"Oh! I don't think she is here! No! Apparently I can't think anything properly with this shitty resetting mind of mine, well not yet at least!" the boy uttered but the opposite person could only hear his first statement. The other two statements that followed from his mouth afterwards were just him murmuring to himself.

"What's that, sir!?"

"What?!" 

Sir Nick and Ryan both asked what he was mumbling about. But to Riley and Zoe, it was clearly audible and they looked at him with their judging eyes. 

"Ahem!" he cleared his throat for a second time before he clarified what he said. "I don't think that! I know that! She is still in this dungeon alright!"

"There was a considerable lapse of time between now and then, and she could have taken her anywhere she had wanted away from this dungeon in that long time gap. Why would she be here after this long?!" Zoe explained her doubt to the boy. 

"Argh! How the f*ck would you expect me to answer that?!" the boy said, angry and annoyed. He was using cursing words against that question of hers. "Maybe I can sense a strong aura coming from the floors below us. And maybe, that aura belongs to her. I don't know. It just might as well be my gut feeling! But what I do know is that we're not alone in this dungeon!"

Everyone in the room took a moment of silence for no specific reason before Sir Nick broke that memorial vibed environment by answering the question the boy asked at the first time. "This is the earth in the year 2525, sir!"

"Say what?!" The boy caught his breath with an open mouth, owing to an unforeseen astonishment. 

"2525?! Last I can recall, I was in the 1980s or something! I had been dozing off for the past five f*cking hundred years?!"

... to be continued.
