Let’s explore how rumblestillskin and rhodopis met. Let’s look one last time into her past before events sir up and Alice takes center stage. Why was it only these two working along fixing rhodopis. Why was she working alone before this?
Their rhodopis was appearing in little bo peep and was fixing it well until a troublesome little troll ran in to cause trouble. Rhodepis grew angry at this as she couldn’t fix her mistake with this brat around. He looked about 15 or 16 at the time and didn’t care what anyone said or did back then. He was rebellious and acting stupid. She had to keep him from getting killed not noticing her golden storm catching up to the story. Once she noticed it was too late. As a demonic sheep was walking toward them they tried to back up and they tripped as another was behind them. Before they knew it, demon sheep surrounded them.
Rhodopis if she had to guess there were hundreds around her and rumblestillskin. helping this brat was going to get me killed she thought as she defended him with Egyptian magic as much as possible. Boo Peep grabbed the two running quickly as the demonic sheep kept following. They ran into a house quickly hiding there shaking scared. Rumblestillskin finally realizing the danger he put him and the two girls in was shaking because why was the sheep suddenly demonic. Why was something first seen to be cute and fluffy chasing them trying to kill them? He asked Rhodopis what was going on as she explained while sweating with boo peep in the room his eyes widened. He didn’t realize how destroying one story would change things. He called her stupid did battling this alone even. To his shock she agreed with him. She was stupid doing such an act.
Boo peep was shocked that’s why her world was turning demonic and she was hopelessly scared and frightened. Rhodopis cried, apologizing completely saying it was her fault over and over again. A slap hit her falling hard on the floor she looked up and saw rumblestillskin above her saying she couldn’t have known this would happen. And telling her to get it together. As if her not wanting to be forgotten caused this they would help. Boo peep agreed as it would fix her world. She smiled at the two finally glad not to be hopelessly alone in this. The 3 fought through hundreds and hundreds of sheep just to get back to the portal to get them out. The world was already corrupted and too dangerous.
Something was wrong as they were rushing out they heard boo peep getting slower and slower. As rumblestillskin turned out there was a scream. Boo peep was bitten by one of the demonic sheep then a cruel and demonic smile appeared on her face. Rhodopis realized the bites from those demonic creatures turned others into demons as boo peep went to attack them. They killed her just in time before she killed them. Scared at this slight they ran into the portal as it closed the two would breathe heavily looking at each other promising to fix this with determination on their face. They had just killed someone but they had to to save their own hides! They hugged each other crying. It was the start of their blooming friendship.
“ Alice I may have gained a friend that day, but I also killed someone to save myself. You may have to do the same "don't let your heart stop you” rhodopis remembering the pain this brought her as it would bring a dark reminder.
