TBATE X RETURNS

The Cost

Alice's pov:- Soldier's started coming inside through the entrance none of them was injured I don't know what is going on did the enemy retreated or our soldiers have retreated during this whole time my eyes are searching for only one person my daughter which is only what left of my family I don't wanna lose her like my son and husband if something happens to here I will just close my eyes and die then some familiar faces started coming from the entrance it was prince Curtis and princess Kathlyn I made my way towards them
I asked Kathlyn "where is Ellie ?"
Without saying a word she pointed her finger behind me towards the entrance I turned around to see Ellie, virion, twin horns and a boy with white hair and something familiar sitting on Ellie's shoulder
Their back was towards me and they were facing towards the entrance.
The boy raised his hand and created a purple wall on the entrance it is like some kind of barrier I think
They turn around I was shocked the similar figure that is sitting on Ellie's shoulder was Sylvie my sons bond I see Ellie and the boy with white hair holding each other hand when I see the boy's face it felt familiar but I can't put my finger on it when our eyes met each other tears started flowing through his eyes something is on my face also when I try to wipe it I see tears were flowing through my eyes also I don't understand is why am I crying? Suddenly a familiar voice said "MOM I'M BACK" I know that voice very well it was my son's voice but why it is coming from that boy's mouth what is going on here?

"Aren't you gonna go welcome your son ?" Elder rinia said from my side

How is this possible my son sacrificed himself and died in a battle
As I'm thinking all this I felt a warm embrace and I know that very well it is from my son
"I'm sorry mom for worrying you," he said.

I broke in tears flowing through my eyes I hugged him as tightly as physically possible from my head buried in his chest I felt Ellie hugging us from the side Arthur started patting her head as three of us crying with joy.

Arthur's pov:- after our family hug I stand up

"Gramps I know you wanna ask so many things but can you give me some time I just wanna spend some time with my family I will report to you after that is that ok gramps," I said

"No need to hurry spend some time with your family they need you," virion said.

then we made our way to a two-story shelter I think this is where they were living they have all the necessary items mom is holding one hand and Ellie is holding the other we sat on a bench I'm in the middle mom and Ellie on my each side there is total silence but first one to spoke is Ellie
"So what is with this new look," Ellie asked.

"That's bad manners, Ellie," mom said.

"No it is ok mom," I said.

"And as for the look it is a gift from Sylvie," I said patting Sylvie head who is still sitting on Ellie's shoulder.

"Speaking of Sylvie where is boo," I asked.

"After an attack on Elenoir in which I got caught on but due to phoenix wyrm necklace I got teleported to the shelter but something happened to boo now he stay inside my body when he manifests himself physically he starts consuming my mana I don't know what happened to him," Ellie said.

"Hey Ellie give me your Pheonix wyrm necklace," I said.

She handed me her necklace I used Aroa's Requiem on the necklace it becomes just like when I get them from Gideon
"The necklace is bonded
mom necklace is not going to work for you use this it is good as new you need to bond with it again" I said.

They both looked at me in shock
"How did you do that" Ellie said.

"I will explain you in time," I said.
