After spending all night in the local library researching, Kianna had found so much about the house. Apparently the house was bought around the time she was born. According to the land records, it was paid in full with cash. Which she found a little odd since her biological parents paid with cash. It meant they had the means to have a family. Given the suspicious nature of the cash payment, Kianna couldn't help but wonder why her biological parents had gone through such lengths to avoid a paper trail. Cash transactions were often used to conceal identities or illicit activities, raising red flags about the true intentions behind the purchase. This only deepened her resolve to uncover the secrets her parents had kept hidden all these years.

Not only that but the house’s location itself was peculiar. Situated on the outskirts of town, it bordered an area known for its strange occurrences and whispered legends of supernatural activity. The remote and eerie setting only added to Kianna's growing suspicion that the house was more than just a family home—it could be a gateway to the secrets of the negaverse. The town's legends spoke of otherworldly beings and hidden realms that existed parallel to their own, often intersecting at places of intense energy like the outskirts where the house was located. These stories had been passed down through generations, or so the books she was reading said. They were warning locals to stay away from areas imbued with such mysterious power. Kianna couldn't ignore the possibility that her parents' involvement with the house was directly tied to these ancient myths, potentially revealing a hidden connection to the negaverse that had been kept secret for reasons she was determined to uncover. Kianna felt a mix of fear and excitement as she delved deeper into the legends. On one hand, the thought of her parents being involved in something so extraordinary was terrifying. On the other hand, the possibility of uncovering the truth about her origins and the house's connection to the negaverse filled her with a sense of adventurous determination.

After all if there was some way she could help the order she knew she needed to do it. She needed to show that the Senshi of crocodiles was not someone to be trifled with. Even if her parents were a part of the negaverse she refused to show them any mercy. The negaverse represented a parallel dimension filled with dark energy and malevolent forces, often clashing with the realm of the Senshi. For Kianna, understanding the connection to the negaverse was crucial not only for uncovering her parents' true intentions but also for preparing herself for the battles that lay ahead. The stakes were high, as any link to the negaverse could bring about dire consequences for both her world and her own sense of identity.

Her friends, or as she was learning lately her family from the past was just who she needed right now. They each possess unique abilities and knowledge, and could provide invaluable support. Together, she figured they could form a formidable team to investigate the house and its secrets, combining their strengths to decipher the ancient texts and symbols. Their unwavering loyalty and diverse skills would be essential in navigating the dangers that the negaverse posed, ensuring that Kianna was never alone in her quest. Not only that but as a unit they all worked better. She couldn't help but remember being called the pharaoh in her past memories. While they were all new to her, these memories remembered her that she was a leader. She was a leader who had more support than anyone could wish for. Kianna's role as a leader was not just a title; it came with immense responsibility and influence over her team. Her past as a pharaoh meant she had the inherent ability to inspire and unite those around her, drawing out the best in each member. This leadership was pivotal as they faced the unknown threats of the negaverse; her guidance would be the beacon that held them together and drove them forward.

She felt selfish even thinking about using them for the mission to find her parents. But every bone in her body was telling her that there was more to this story. Things just weren't adding up. Why buy a house built for a family and yet you give up your daughter the same day? Also why did that house feel so full of darkness? The house exuded a palpable sense of foreboding, its walls seemingly whispering secrets of despair and hidden malevolence. Shadows lingered in every corner, unnaturally thick and oppressive, as if they were alive and watching her every move. The air was cold and heavy, suffused with a musty odor that spoke of long-forgotten sorrow and the lingering presence of dark forces. She could recall it all so clearly, even if in the moment she just felt like it was not a place full of positive energy. Why would her parents abandon her on the same day they moved into such a peculiar house? And what could possibly be the connection between the house's eerie atmosphere and her own mysterious heritage? The more she pondered these questions, the more she realized that uncovering the truth about her biological parents and the house's dark secrets were intertwined, leading her to believe that solving one mystery would inevitably solve the other.

All these questions ran through her mind, but all in all she knew one thing for sure. Kianna knew she had to approach her friends with honesty and urgency. She planned to gather them together and explain everything she had discovered, emphasizing the importance of their unique abilities in unraveling the mysteries of the house. With a heartfelt plea, she would ask for their trust and support, ensuring them that their combined efforts could shed light on the truth and bring her closer to finding her parents. Tonight though she needed to go home and prepare for the day she explained everything to her friends. With a heavy sigh and determination she quickly got up and headed home. As she prepared for the night ahead, she knew that at least now, she had a plan of action.
