Fated Arrival?

Desperation

After a grand feast with everyone having a fun time in the hall of the fairy village, Treyku is watching everyone eat from a far table

I just can't stop thinking about how I would have died for good there, I sigh twirling my fork around.

"Listen kid, we aren't at 100% like we use to, we still have yet to get back there. Being stuck for a while dulls your skills." Beast says.

Still.......even with both of us, people like Hunter, Grand Elder, and Ester are so strong I just want to have that kind of power. 

"Sometime you have to except there will be people you can't exceed. Even I have limits, I know I can not cover every field for your and I's safety. They have god like powers and features, we are simply a burning dream compared to them." Beast sighs a bit in my head.

I stay silent a bit and don't respond. I just wish I could fight all by myself, but I do like the company of everyone else, I down a glass of choccy milk.

"We can spar with them tomorrow kiddo, but I warn you, do not be upset. You and I have met our power threshold, we can no longer get stronger." Beast goes silent.

What do you mean? I ask.

"We can get a little stronger physically, but it won't matter. Your body can only withstand so much magic usage and taking damage, no matter how big or small your body is. And no matter the host I have, I have my magic limitations too. Hunter and Ester can keep growing and growing and have limitless potential, we have peaked Treyku, it is best we both increase working together and being more smart, because we no longer can grow stronger only smarter." Beast says quietly in the depth of my mind.

I let the words sink in my head for a second and think about how much I have struggled and lost to get to where I am. I have lost family, friends, and even love interests. Blood, sweat, tears, and even died once. I lower my head at the table and hold my face and tear up a bit, I let a couple tears drop before wiping my face and bending my fork. I will get stronger if that means I have to think wisely when fighting. 

"Go on now, your friends are waiting, enjoy the meal." Beast says returning to my mind to rest and recharge.

Pele flies over to me in her fairy form a good bit drunk but tilts her head "What's wrong?" 

Pele, I think I want to stop adventuring. 

"Come on stop messing around and have a good time!" Pele trys to shrug it off with a laugh, but I stare at her seriously.

Pele, no matter what I do, I can't grow stronger, I felt that slightly even before I was sealed away.

"Treyku, I may not be the most in mind at the moment, but you are incredible enough already. You may be reckless, but you have a burning passion and desire of good. Think about how I felt, I never could grow my wings if it was not for you. Think how about I feel when I know I can't compare to Vera or the Grand Elder. It hurts me too." Pele holds her hands around my pinky and smiles.

I notice the Grand Elder walk over and sigh a bit. "You can't be a downer at a party you two." The Grand Elder opens a portal, as a hat flies out of it along with a familiar face that lit up like the sun. "Now you two catch up, I have to out drink the young ones." 

Ester...?

"Treyku, Pele!!!" Ester tackles me and Pele and hugs us both.

Ester how did you...

"The Elder talked to me on the way you were on the way back and asked if I could return, and it happens so I can stay as long as I need to." Ester smiles mushing both of our faces.
