" She's waking up, so I am going to leave now. If she or anyone needs anything I will be in my cabin " whispers Druig to Thena. I can't see them, because I'm to tired to open my eyes or even say a word, but I can feel them.
- "She'll be okay, you go" says Thena. I can recognize that her voice is tired. She probably hasn't slept at all after Gilgamesh's death. I can't even imagine what she's feeling and I can't blame her on wanting revenge. Gilgamesh helped her, he kept her safe from everyone and herself all these years. That's why I said the following thing:
" I'm sorry Thena " . I don't say anything else, I feel like nothing I say would ease her pain, but I hold her hand for the next couple of minutes. As I open my eyes, I see her form a little smile on her face. I really missed her.
" I missed you " I tell her.
- "I missed you too, Gil told me you called a lot of times when I wasn't really myself. I appreciate that."
" How long was I asleep? " I ask
- "Long enough for Druig to lose his mind" she smiles again, forcing me to do the same.
" And how is everyone else doing? " I ask again
- "Well Sersi and Ikaris are getting ready to go to Phastos, Kingo I believe is still drinking with his friend and Sprite, oh I haven't seen her in a bit".
" I want to go with Sersi, when are they leaving? "
- "I don't think Druig or anyone is going to allow that. You lost control, you have to rest now. When they get back, we'll have to go to the Domo. We don't have time."
She replies and leaves the room, but before the door closes again she says:
- "Everything will be fine,get some rest and save your energies for the upcoming battle"
Now I'm alone, again. I'll admit I'm tired but I can't stay here anymore. My breathing is getting harder as I try to stand up and leave this small and weird cabin as Druig calls it.
When I look outside, I realize it's dark so that means I've been asleep for couple hours. "Well that's better than the last time I collapsed from using too much of my power. Why was Druig so concerned then?" I think to myself.
There's no one else around my cabin. I wonder if Druig let those people who live here, to go after the deviant attack. I wonder if someone else got hurt, why didn't I ask this before? I walk around the empty space, secretly I'm hoping to see Sprite, or anyone really. I don't want to be alone again. Never in our existence I thought that we can get killed, now two of us are already dead in a span of a week. I can't believe this really happened, and the worse this is I couldn't have stopped these deaths, I think. I'm not the strongest person in a battlefield. I don't know how I'm going to help save the world, and save my family.
I keep walking around as I hear something behind me.
" Hey " says Sprite and I turn around to see if she really is there, I'm scared that my mind is still playing tricks on me.
- "Hi, how are you" I ask once I'm assured that she is really is here.
" I've been better, I was just talking with Druig and Sersi. They are looking for you. "
- "Why?"
" Well Sersi wants you to go with her and Ikaris to Phastos, apparently she doesn't want to be alone with him. And Druig is being dramatic about how you just lost a lot of power and something like that ". She replied
- "I'm fine really, and I want to go. Where can I find them?"
" They were at the main hall, few minutes ago. I think they left though. "
- "Thanks Sprite, if you want to talk or something I just want you to know I'm here for you." I say before I start to leave
" I know, I'm here for you too. I just can't wait for this to be over " she says and she looks at me with a really tired smile. " I can't wait for this to be over too " I think to myself as I make my way to the main hall. I open the door and I see Sersi and Druig arguing about something but both of them stop when they see me.
" Are you alright? I was on my way to see you. I have something to ask you- Sersi says before Druig interrupts her,
- "No, no she is not doing that"
" Hey! I can decide for myself, alright? " I angrily say. I just had the worst day ever, I mean everyone had the same day and they feel bad too- but hey, how dare is he to makes decisions about me?
" I'm fine, and Sprite told me about the thing you want to ask me. I want come with you".
- "Come where?" Sersi asks with a confused look on her face as she explains:
"I wanted to talk to you about the Emergenece, I think you can help. I mean you almost killed one of the deviants earlier today, I know you can control your power and can help Druig and me with..." Sersi's voice is going to fast for me to understand what she's trying to say. I can't do that, I think to myself. I don't have that kind of power and even if I did, I can't control it. If I try to to this I'll just make it worse and I'll be the reason the world ends. I'm panicking right now. This doesn't feel right. Sersi continues to explain her new plan to kill or stop the Celestial when I remember my dream from few hours ago ,but that wasn't really a dream. That was more of a nightmare.
I was on an Island, surrounded with a lot of volcanos. I've never seen this place before. I look around and see Makkari. Behind her, are Phastos and Thena. They look terrible like beaten up,I remember their scars. Then I hear a scream and everything goes to black- This is not the first time I had this dream actually, but for the first time I saw what happens next, I felt what happens next.
I never felt pain like that, the pain in Makkari's scream and my shaking hands, the look on Thena's face. I look around and see Sersi too. Why do we look like we lost something, someone?
and that's what I remembered from my dream. Now I realize I've been quiet for a while. Sersi and Druig definitely think I'm crazy right now.
" I don't think you are crazy, darling. But you can't fight a Celestial and your dream is more likely to be a prediction on what we are going to face, but let's hope that it will not come true. " Druig says quietly. Seems like they are not arguing anymore. I take comfort in his words, I'm not crazy and most likely I'll fail if I fight a Celestial but it's the end of the world, I don't have much to lose, except the fact that I have everything to lose-
- " l'll do everything I can to help you Sersi, can you tell me your plan again?" I say with a confident smile, even though I don't think I'll be able to do this. My answer also brings a smile to Sersi's face as she starts talking again, but this time I listen carefully. I look over at Druig, he looks disappointed and leaves the room without saying anything else.
But I don't care about his troubles now, because right now my only focus is my best friend and her plan to save the world.
