Helloo~ I know this chapter seems kinda long/rushed, but I needed to get it out of the way so we can move on with the PLOT :3 Hehehe, let me know what you think!

Marinette slowly opened her eyes, a bright light making her eyes sting lightly. Everything was blurry for about 2 seconds, but once it cleared up, Marinette couldn't begin to comprehend what she was looking at. Somehow, they were floating over the clouds that covered Paris. The sun rested gently on the fluffy clouds off in the horizon, sending beams of bright orange and yellow light. Marinette felt very overwhelmed at the angelic sight, it was almost like they were in heaven itself, but she knew for a fact that they weren't. She turned her head towards Chat, his face lit up with awe and happiness at the glorious scenery.

Marinette could feel her heart nearly pounding out of her chest and a light blush consuming her cheeks as she looked at her partner. She always felt a familiarity around him, but reality slowly started to set in for Marinette. Chat was holding her bridal style, which was nothing new to her, but she began to look around for Wren. Chat felt Marinette move within his arms and looked down at her.

"Don't worry about Wren, she's right over there." He said nodding his head to his right. Marinette leaned her head over, trying to hold onto Chat as best as she could.

Wren's bright golden eyes were wide with awe at the sight of this new location, she had only ever seen views like this through the windows of Notre Dame. Looking around, she started to finally realize that she was now free from her previous hold. It would be hard once they returned to Paris, but with the help of her new friends, Wren had hope for the first time in her life. A warm smile grew across Wren's face, she stretched out her arms and legs, feeling light as a feather as they floated above the clouds. She wanted to fly and spin around in the clouds, but a familiar voice stopped her before she could.

"A beauty like you should never be in a cage." A warm woman's voice spoke close to Wren's ear. Wren gasped a little and turned to her left, a very slim and elegant woman floated next to her. The woman had very pale skin and very long curly white hair that seemed to stretch past the length of her body. She wore a long white dress that was adorned with a bright sparkly dust and lace that wrapped around the edges. What stood out the most was the headdress that this mysterious woman wore, it had the image of a bird and from it's wings grew vines and more animals. Wren shook her head, she had had lost herself in the beauty of the other woman that she had nearly lost her manners.

"Forgive me, I did not mean to stare. I am-"

"Wren." The woman said cutting her off. "I know who you are, my child. I have watched over you since the day you were born. Since all life on the Earth was born."

Chat Noir held onto Marinette and leaned near the two to get a better look at this mysterious woman. "You're the one who saved us, right? Who are you?" he asked, hoping that maybe she could give them some insight on what was going on.

"To you humans, I am known as Mother. The being that almost attacked you was my brother, Darcel. I fear that my brother may have become corrupted from being on the Earth-plane for too long." Mother tried explaining, she knew that the trio would understand, despite the fact that time was not on their side.

"Hawkmoth!" Marinette blurted out loud. Chat Noir looked down and cocked up his eyebrow, he knew that most of Paris was aware of Hawkmoth, but Marinette's quick answer seemed a little too odd. Noticing how unusually fast she had answer that, Marinette could feel her face flush a little and her heart beat picking up.

"Uh, I-I mean, it has to be, right?" Marinette said trying to cover up her slip up. Feeling a little suspicious, Chat Noir just nodded and went along with her answer. Now wasn't the time to investigate Marinette anyway, or so he thought.

"Marinette is right, a villain who can turn people and other living things into monsters could be behind this. My partner, Ladybug, is the only one who can purify-" Chat tried to explain, but was cut off by Mother.

"The Akuma. My dear boy, I know everything about you and the powers bestowed upon you and your friend. Do you know who created your miraculous?" Mother asked. Wide-eyed, Chat Noir exchanged a confused look with Marinette and Wren. Mother smiled and laughed, her energy filling the trio with warmth and love like they have never felt before. She extended her arms and surrounded them with golden light particles, healing any wounds and giving them strength. Marinette let go of Chat and floated next to him and Wren. She felt so carefree and happy in this moment, but then noticed that the particles began to form a bubble around them.

"I created the Miraculous…" Mother said gently. It was then that Tikki flew out of Marinette's purse and made her self known before Mother, but also in front of Chat. Marinette and Chat Noir looked at each other shocked, "Ladybug…? Marinette, you're…" Chat started to say but soon found himself at a loss for words.

"It's an honor to finally meet you." Tikki said bowing her head to Mother. Marinette's face was completely red as she turned away from Chat and looked back at Mother. Too much was happening too fast for her to explain everything to Chat Noir.

"I created everything on Earth…From the beautiful flowers and prairies, to the vast oceans and tallest mountains." Mother spoke looking over at Wren. With her power, she surrounded Wren in a golden aura and her eyes light up. Wren's skin began to glow and her eyes became covered in a bright golden light. She could feel incredible energy and power flowing throughout her veins, it was like an internal flame had awoken inside of her. Without even knowing, Wren's hand was touching her feathers across her face. She could feel each little feather warming and burning upon her touch, but it didn't hurt her. A vision of a great beast engulfed in flames came clear in her mind and called out to her, but it wasn't her name that it called. Suddenly, everything cleared out and she was starring at Mother, who's warm smile made Wren come close to crying. "You…" Wren said reaching her hand out to touch Mother. Mother shook her head and floated away as she opened up a hole in the clouds.

"I am called Mother, because I am the Mother of the Earth. And you, my darling Wren, have a beautiful adventure ahead of you. Stay with these two. They will lead you to your real home." With that, Mother sent the trio through the clouds and back down to Paris.

As they floated back down, it was obvious that the trio still had a lot of unanswered questions, but seeking them was going to take some time. One thing was clear though, they had to stop Darcel and defeat Hawkmoth. As the clouds began to thin out, the air got darker and darker the closer they got to the ground. Feeling a little nervous, Chat Noir extended his arms and grabbed Wren and Marinette's hands as they braced for impact.

"Mar- I mean…M'Lady, let's find somewhere to come up with a game plan. If we attack now, there's no chance we would win."

Marinette nodded, "Let's go to my house. I can give Wren new clothes and we can work from there."
