~The Arranged Union~

Chapter 5:~The Uversio Temple~

When Christian together with the knights, his sons, Adelina, her brothers, and Gwydion and his family reached the secret entrance of Uversio's temple a few days later, Adelina used her magic to open the secret entrance.
They entered and looked around carefully. "What now?," Aries asked. Adelina walked over to the middle of the eight portals. The one who lead to The Halls of Eschallus and she glanced beside and saw the portal that lead to Solania. The one she would close use to close the rift between the worlds. "This one is it," she explained and she raised her hand with her powers to close it when Estrellita suddenly showed up behind them and used her magic to open all the portals before sending Adelina aside to the ground. Ectorius helped his sister up and looked towards the witch angrily. Estrellita smiled wickedly towards Adelina. "It's finally time!," she said and Kaine showed up by her side. "Let the final battle begin!," she said and Ectorius sent his magic towards the witch. "You are not going to stop us!," he exclaimed and the fight began. Aurelius fought against Kaine and the Estrellita flew around as darkness. "Adelina! You have to close the rift!," Ectorius exclaimed at his sister. Adelina raised her hands with her magic and Christian looked towards his wife worriedly. Suddenly, Estrellita and Kaine had completely disappeared. Gwydion looked around worriedly. "Where are they?," Aranel asked worriedly. Elderon raised his demon sword and Ectorius kept close to Adelina when suddenly, Estrellita surprisingly showed up behind Adelina and Ectorius. "Adeca litar!," she pronounced a spell and sent green lightning against Adelina. "Adelina, watch out!," Christian exclaimed. Ectorius hurried to push his sister aside and was hit by the lightning and backed backwards in shock and pain. Adelina looked up at her brother, tears welling up in her eyes. Ectorius looked at his sister and smiled weakly before he stumbled into the portal of Eschallus and flew up and disappeared. Adelina broke out into tears. "No!," she said weakly, "NO!," And she started screaming and run towards the portal when Christian hurried to hug her from behind, holding her back from running. Aleroth looked towards the witch angrily and the began to fight. Adelina soon joined the fight against Estrellita and Kaine. Kaine and Estrellita aimed their magic against Adelina. "It's finally time for you to die!," Kaine said wickedly and they sent their magic against her when Aleroth stood in front to protect his sister and was blasted by magic instead and was sent to the ground. "No!," Adelina cried out and hurried over to her brother who lay on the ground. Aleroth gently stroked his sister's hair. "I'll tell father that he shall be proud of you and the sorceress you've become," he said weakly and Adelina shook her head. "Please, Aleroth, you can't leave me. Not you too. I'll be alone," she cried. Aleroth shook his head weakly at her. "You'll never be alone," he whispered weakly, "We will always be here with you," Adelina let her tears stream down her cheeks and she kissed her brother's hand before Aleroth's eyes became blank and Adelina cried out in grief of her brothers deaths. Estrellita smiled wickedly. "Adelina, didn't you learn that love... is weakness," she said. Adelina felt her anger rise and a glowing aura began to rise around her and Estrellita swallowed. Adelina stood up and looked up towards the rift and shot her light magic against the portal of the rift to close it. "NO!," Estrellita exclaimed angrily, "Foolish child!," Kaine grabbed Estrellita's arm and they disappeared in a dark cloud of smoke.

Adelina took down her hands and rift was permanently sealed. Christian hurried to catch his wife who fell backwards before she hit the hard stone ground. Adelina looked up at him and smiled weakly. Christian pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Adelina run over to Aleroth who lay on the ground and she sadly knelt down at him. She gently leaned forward and kissed his forehead. She had now lost her brothers, the only ones left of her biological family forever.
