Constance brought Raina out, who was heavily restrained. Midnight, Hope, and Veracity - who was glaring daggars at Midnight - had ridden to Oscura wordlessly together. They stopped and got out.
Hope saw her mom and her eyes widened. "M-mom...?"
Raina's eyed snapped open at the sound of her voice and she stared lifelessly. Veracity frowned, cautiously walking over and reaching to touch her head to gauge how much damage had been done. Raina broke her restraints and sent a weak burst of light towards Veracity, throwing her back into a tree. Veracity groaned.
Hope's eyes widened. "Mom...?"
Raina narrowed her eyes and began to attack her when Midnight threw up a shield to protect both of them.
"This is why I kept her locked up," Midnight explained. "She lost her memory when I defeated her and she's very aggressive."
Constance tried to restrain her and also got thrown back. Midnight sighed and made the former queen drop to her knees, held in place by darkness.
"Do you still want her back?" Midnight asked.
Hope glanced into her angry eyes and frowned. She thought for a moment then nodded.
Midnight sighed and released her. "Be my guest then. Good luck...and... I'm sorry..."
Hope looked at her. "I forgive you..."
Raina caught her breath as Hope walked over and gently pulled her up.
"It's okay, mom... I've got you," Hope said quietly, tears in her eyes as she hugged her.
Raina's eyes widened and she didn't resist the hug, allowing the girl to lead her off. Veracity brushed herself off before following.
"I'm fine, thanks..." she muttered, rolling her eyes.
