Sleep didnât come. How could it? Everyone in the palace was losing their minds, and yet, I felt perfectly fine. My mind was as sharp as ever. After an agonizing night of tossing and turning, I decided to head to Genieâs office area to study neurological diseases in his vast library of books.
Genie wasnât there, so I found a couple of books that looked like they had something to do with the brain and sat down in my usual spot.
There were so many things that could go wrong with the human brain and so many things that affected memories, but in none of the books I looked at could I find anything about group hallucinations, for this was almost certainly what it was. My mother and father were usually inseparable, and Genie was my fatherâs best friend. The trio was together every day, so how was it possible that both Genie and my mother had forgotten my father? And father himself. He was the first to come down with memory loss, but heâd seemed to have forgotten everything. Genieâs library had never failed me before, but it had failed me twice in the past week. This was the second time. The first time it failed me without my even trying. I had wanted to look up magic, or at least why Iâd suddenly come down with the ability to produce fire, but I knew Genieâs loathing of anything to do with magic would extend to books.
In the end, I gave up and decided to go and see how my father was doing. He might have been forgotten by two out of the three people that loved him the most, but he still had me, and I was going to make damn sure he was recognized in his own home.
The guards were no longer at the door, which I took to be a good sign. Maybe this had all blown over, and everything could go back to normal. A quick glance outside the window told me it was dawn. Iâd been awake all night, and yet I didnât feel tired.
âFather,â I called, knocking lightly at his door. When he didnât answer, I knocked again and opened the door.
A feeling of foreboding hit me hard as I walked through the suite to his bedroom. He wasnât there. Not in his room, nor on his terrace. My mother wasnât there either, but she was always an early riser. My father, not so much.
âFather,â I called out, panic filling my every word. Normally, my father not being in their suite would mean nothing, but what with the way he had been, the way everyone had been recently, his disappearance was a cause for concern.
I ran through the palace, looking in all the usual places, his office, the throne room, the gardens. He was nowhere to be seen.
After scouring the palace and coming up with nothing, I ended my search in the dining room. I didnât find him there, but I did find my mother eating breakfast as though she didnât have a care in the world.
