Revival

Emperor

  Hand in hand going down the street, I saw the Axolotl that gave me and EP our drinks assisting people on the outside who were dining. They walked back into the diner.

  "Woah!" Cross exclaims in joy.

  I turn to face him.

  "Look at that!"

  So I look to where his finger points and I saw the palace shimmering. But before I could say anything Cross dashed pulling me behind him to the palace gate.

  The palace gate was opening for someone taller than me and Cross, but shorter than the guards behind them.

  "Who's that?" I ask.

  The guards face our direction and began walking towards us.

  My face twitches as a guard gets dangerously close. Then I was shocked when Cross put me on his back and ran away.

  "Crap." He mutters before teleporting to the cave entrance with me on his back.

  He sighs and sits down sweating a bit.

  "We should tell EP." I say.

  "Tell me what exactly?" EP was standing at the door staring out at us. "Might as well come in and say it."

  We went inside and Cross explained what happened.

 *********************

  "So he came here." He says. "I will be back."

  "Wanna go for a steam bath while EP goes off?" Cross asks pointing to the steam room.

  "Sure why not." I shrug.

  A few hours later during our tickle fight we heard arguing. Signifying someone entered the Caverns.

  "I told you to wait!" EP's voice rang out.

  "I couldn't! I wanted to see my baby now!" A slightly rasped and light, but somehow smooth and deep voice said. Who the frick is that?

  I looked at Cross and he seemed to be at a loss for words as well. His face seemed to say. "What the h*ll."

  We walked outside the room and someone taller than Cross runs up and looks at me.

  "Who are you?" I ask.

  The being turns around and pats EP rather excitedly. "It's my baby." The being holds out their arms standing there for a second, then pulls me into a hug faster than I can react.

  At first I wanted to panic, but it felt nice and safe. It has been the safest I have felt in a lifetime of meeting people for the first time. Perhaps it was because of my growth after everything that happened to me.

  "C.E." 

  "C.E, this is Dad."

  The stranger who was supposedly my dad took off their hood. And a face similar to mine stared back. With twinkly light blue eyes the bright shade that my magic was when I was brand new to the multiverse. Untainted magic and purity a sense of goodness strobing in waves from my dad. They were like an ethereal being right in front of me. I felt insignificant, but in a good way?

  "Uh, hello... dad." I say to him.

  He smiles and signals for someone to follow.

  An armored knight follows in a dark colored silver like metal.

  EP stood beside the knight and we head to the dining room.

  "I can't believe it. Look at you you don't look any older than four, what happened all these years?"
