okay. i promised everyone an explanation, of everything. this is going to be a little long... because a lot has happened in the last month or so.
i used our date last month as an excuse to break into the study of Elliot's father's townhouse. i was looking for any information on the research being conducted with Humpty Dumpty and the children of Fianna's, hoping to find some way to help them and Elliot.
i found that, and a lot more.
I found out that Elliot's father was overseeing all of that personally. He was hoping to use Humpty Dumpty as a weapon, to compensate for Raven refusing all other Contractors before Gilbert. In the process, he discovered that Humpty Dumpty was born from the body of one of the previous Glen Baskervilles after he died. And that it would instinctively seek out, and protect, the next Glen.
When my mother died and I was sent to Fianna's, Elliot's father saw my weird eyes and had a theory that i might. carry Glen Baskerville's reincarnated soul. when Elliot and i went into the chasm in Sablier after the lost children, and Humpty Dumpty attacked everyone but me, his theory was proven correct.
That's why he let me stay on as Elliot's valet. And that's why he didn't do anything about Elliot's Illegal Contract. He thought that allowing Humpty Dumpty to protect Glen until he awoke was more valuable than his own son's life.
Unfortunately, i set off a silent alarm when i broke in. and i was so wrapped up in the things i was reading, i didn't notice Elliot's father until i was trapped.
Vincent saved me. but he killed Elliot's father to do it.
i panicked. i heard Elliot coming, and i got so scared that Vincent would kill him too. i only meant to teleport us to the House in Sablier, far enough away that Elliot would be safe, but close enough i could get home.
we ended up. somewhere else.
in order to get us home, i made the decision to step up and accept my role as the new Glen. i made a Contract with his Chain, Jabberwock, and forced open a way home through Abyss.
i couldn't tell Elliot any of this before. Humpty Dumpty alters its Contractors' memories so they never feel despair. i was afraid that if i did, Elliot would just forget it all, and the hand on his Seal would move.
i also. had responsibilities that i needed to tend to, and prepare for. responsibilities that i accepted as part of the deal i took to get home to him.
i had stolen a Carcere from Pandora in hopes that i could give Elliot a chance to overwrite Humpty Dumpty's Illegal Contracts and lock it away. but i was too late for that.
which, um. brings me to what happened this weekend.
the other Baskervilles knew that Pandora was planning to use Oz's ceremony as a chance to find the Sealing Stone in Isla Yura's mansion. so we did the same thing, intending to break it. the plan was to leave that to the others while Vincent and i would find Elliot, reveal everything, and give him the Carcere.
but none of that went right. no one knew that Isla Yura was planning to use the ceremony to recreate the Tragedy of Sablier. he had brought the children of Fianna's and members of his cult to play the roles of the Baskervilles. Elliot's mother was among them.
a lot of people died. we saved a lot of others, though.
the Sealing Stone was broken. but when it was, Humpty Dumpty went crazy. i won't tell all of the details of what Elliot went through, that isn't my place. but in the end, he was able to reject his Chain, destroying every other seed of it as well.
he's okay now, not because of me, but because of the generosity of our friends here on tumblr. because he was strong enough to look death in the eye and hold on.
when the basement collapsed, i summoned Jabberwock to save everyone. i got us all outside. but that means Pandora knows, without a doubt, that i'm Glen. so for now, i have to lay low. i can't go back to my life as Elliot's valet... ever, probably. which is really a shame. i loved my life at his side. but i also found a new family of people who are looking to me for direction. and i can't just turn my back on them, at least until i know what's expected of me. unfortunately, there's still one Sealing Stone, and the other Glens, the ghosts i'm haunted by, can't tell me anything important until it's broken.
so.
um.
i think that's about everything.
i guess, if there are any questions, just go ahead and ask them. before anons get involved and make me answer, anyway.
