The forgotten kingdom

Chapter 16

Aria walked into the temple and saw a child sitting there.

"Do you know who I'm?" the child asked. Aria smiled as she kneeled next to the four-year-old. The child reached out and touched her neck.

"It is healed." The kid says softly. Aria hugged her.

"Your me when I was four," Aria said not wanting to release her.

"That's right. I'm here to show you what could happen if you win this fight." Aria stopped her.

"I don't want to know. Just let me know if the ones I love will be safe and happy." The child smiled at her.

"Yes, Aria they will. No one will ever forget what will play out. But you have to stop letting the vision of your death affect your actions. That may be the fate you saw for yourself but." The girl summoned Aria's sword and pointed to the words.

"You write your destiny and how it ends. No one else. This fight was always meant to happen but that doesn't mean you had to join it again."

Luche and Nyx were sitting by the caravan the next morning when Aria walked over. She smiled at them. "

I got the blessing and power." Luche ran to her and picked her up.

"Gods it's great to hear your voice again sweetheart." She laughed and when he put her down Nyx walked over and hugged her.

"Hey princess." She sat down telling them about the temple.

"Damn Aria." That was all Nyx could say as they walked back towards the car.

Aria had a fire burning in her and she used it. They had visited many temples and got their power and blessings. They were headed to Lestallum now for a small break. She parked and got out and stretched. As she was looking around, she saw someone and smiled. Luche saw her and looked at where she was headed, and he saw Drautos. As she stopped in front of him, she hugged him.

"I forgive you, father."

Luche saw the tears in his former captain's eyes as he pulled her into a hug.

"It's good to hear your voice again Aria." They both cried.

"Aria you will win this." He tells her as they all sat down to eat. She picked up her beer and raised it.

"For hearth." Luche, Nyx, and Drautos raised theirs.

"And home." The four sat there and talked. Drautos was listening to them talk about the crazy stuff she used to do.

Memory

Aria looked up at the viewing room window.

"I bet you can't make it through that window warping?" she turned to see Nyx next to her.

"Want to bet on it?" she looked at her. They still weren't used to hearing her talk yet.

"Yeah 400 Gil says you miss." Aria knew Luche was going to flip when he found out she had been drinking. She smiled and took a step back before tossing her weapon and warping.

When she landed, she rolled and looked out the window.

"Beat that Ulric." She yelled then turned when she heard someone cough. Looking up she saw Drautos, Regis, Clarus, and Cor looking over at her.
