A past life

"Mom.." Beatrice started to talk to her mother gently about this warlock's past. Bea, being a good sim did feel horrible for him and his situation. Beatrice pulled out the warlock's old journal it took a lot of digging at the library but she did find the dusty old book. 

"Did he do anything to hurt you?! I swear-" Agatha started to explode with anger.

"Mom no. He didn't hurt me, in fact he didn't even want to turn you into a toad." Beatrice did try to clam her mother down, "Grandma and grandpa did sent me a transmission explaining. Also the evil versions of them are at the Isle of Midnight sun. They have no hold over Russel anymore. Can I please explain the story mom?"

"...." Agatha had no response. So Bea, took her mom's silence as a yes and began to read out of the old warlock's journal. 

"The warlock Russel Rhoads was a loner sim, but a very powerful warlock who had a fairy mother and warlock father. The combination of these two sims made an immortal man." 

"He was one the first to travel to alternate worlds. 500 years ago he ended up in a empty town called Constant Springs." 

 "One day while he was trying to get himself and his mother back to his realm. He accidentally summed a woman from Grandfather's universe however this being 500 years ago she wasn't exactly modern looking." 

Her name was Bonnie. 

  "She was a very kind soul who was also trying to experiment with what they called White magic. She wanted to heal all sick sims but somehow she ended up here in the abandoned town with Russel." 

"Russel did try to help her back home." 

  "After many attempts." 

  "It seemed they couldn't get her back home. " 

  "Over the course of ten years." 

  "They did grow very attached to one another. Eventually falling in love." 

"He did honorable thing and proposed marriage."

"After a long two year engagement. They were married with his mother as their only witness." 

 

 "After twelve years and a set of twins later.. Russel heard there were other inter dimensional travelers in the area. He was very hopeful about this maybe they will the have the technology and means to help out him and his family out of this empty world." 

 "Of course he had no clue they were evil..." 

  "Instead of trying to help Russel they drugged him before he could pull out his wand to protect himself." 

"Dragged his body into the Cryogenics chamber. Because he was immortal they couldn't kill him. The evil people thought that a powerful warlock forced to their bidding when come in handy."
  

  "Where he was taken to an alternate dimension and was forced to sleep for 500 years." 

"What does this have to do with you Beatrice?" Bea looked sad but she answered.. "Look at this picture of his wife."  

 "She did of old age several hundred years ago. But doesn't she look familiar?"

"Could be a coincidence Beatrice, no way that you could've been Bonnie."

".........I wish that was so I talked to him earlier-"

"You did what?!"

"Let me explain what happened."

Earlier.. 

 Beatrice was nervous didn't know what to say to this old warlock.

But she did start with, "They have no control over you anymore Russle? Or should I call you Mr. Rhoads. They are on an island now." 

 Russel replied, "I heard that from your grandparents Transmission: The only thing I have left to do is beg for your mother's forgiveness before I leave to a very different Moonlight falls- I can't say much about this job. However your grandparents offered to take me home and they needed my help there. I do hope to redeem myself and ask for your mother's forgiveness." 

"That's very noble of you." Beatrice complimented. "What about me.. or us? Was I really Bonnie?"

Russel couldn't deny they had the same spirit the very good energy that surrounded his wife Bonnie was right there in Beatrice. 

He flashed backed to what the Evil Ariel had said. 

 "Besides you want to see your wife's rebirth don't you?" Ariel cooed. "Your loved one she's five days away from becoming a young adult who knows what... Accidents that young lady may get into. If she dies again she may never know happiness-"


Although remembering back to what the Evil Ariel had told him. Suddenly made sense.
A rush of anger filled Russel that the evil woman who forced him to do her bidding would send him after the rebirth of his very own wife. How dare she.

Those evil people were gone now.. they had no hold over him. 

  "Yes, it is true. But I want you to be happy. I could never try to take you away from your home or mother." 

"I want you to be happy even if it isn't with me. I want you to have a normal and happiest life possible. But be warned if there comes a man that should harm you or hurt you in anyway he will have to deal with me."  

  "Thank you for that.. But I can keep care of myself. I want you to come back later so you can talk to my mom and apologize to her in person." 

Now..

Agatha got up, "I can't believe this."

Later when Russel did come over.

He did say he was sorry, he did beg for forgiveness. He explained how he was forced. 

 "Why should I?! You turned me into a toad!"

"You transformed me into a zombie. I'd like to say we're even."

"Hmph! "

"Would you have done the same if Ameen's soul was being threatened? Or even Beatrice's soul... The souls of trillions of others."

Agatha had no words for him.. He was leaving after all to a very very different moonlit falls and he was never going to bother them again right?

"Just remember warlock I have potent cure Elixir that will end your powers. If you should ever harm me or bother my daughter ever again you will be mortal!" 

 Beatrice cut into the conversation. "Hope you stay safe in Moonlight falls. Do write I want to know your mission there."

"Mom, please calm down." 

 "I'll let the past events stay in the past if you will."

Russel agreed with this. One must live in the present after all. 

Russel left that night for Moonlight falls he did promise Beatrice he would write about his mission there and that he will. The Good Ariel and Arnie needed him there to help save yet again another alternate town.... with very different issues. He hopes one day Agatha will find it in her heart to forgive him.

Besides who knows what the future will hold.
