Entry No. 10

I sat alongside Laurance. I had found him after he had seen Cadenza. I took the cloth I had out of the cold water bucket, putting it up to Laurance's head. He looked over to me, his eyes seemed filled with pain. I took the cloth away from him only to place it back in the bucket. I could feel Laurance's hand on mine, and I looked up at him.

"Laurance..." I mumbled.

I continued to stare into his eyes. Somehow, without words he told me how much it hurt to lose his father without actually being there to lose him... I tried to think of how to help him, but I was stumped. I got tired with myself and knocked Laurance down with a hug. I wanted to comfort him. Laurance chuckled..

"I want to help, but I just don't know how... I remember being there when he pasted and helping Cadenza.... But since you weren't I just- Argh... I'm sorry... I shouldn't talk about that-" I stammered.

Laurance leaned up and kissed me. I melted into the kiss... I had missed his kisses... He pulled back, pushing some hair behind my ear.

"Thank you," he said with a smile.

"But I didn't-" I started.

He pushed a finger to my lips, "You were you... That was all I needed."

He switched from his index finger against my lips to his thumb rubbing against my bottom lip...

"Well well well.... Been back in our dimension for two seconds and you're back on her trail," Cadenza said.

I looked up nervously at Cadenza beflr elooking back down at Laurance. I couldn't do this.... Garroth was still in the Irene dimension and Travis was back on the island and Lucinda was busy in Pikoro and Vylad was in the nether and Jeffoy was in my dimension and I...... I was barely keeping up.... I quickly got up and rushed off out of the tree. I sighed as I close the door to my house, leaning my back against the door. I found myself gathered with the old group as well as Cadenza, Levin, and Malachi as we listened to Dante.

"Listen up! Aphmau has something she's proposed to me that both she and I believe will not only jelp Pheonix Drop... But keep the balacne of the rest of the world. Go on Aphmau  the floor is yours," Dante announced.

"I recently had a conversation with Dante... I want to reform the Pheonix Alliance. To make it bigger than it ever was before. Now that I'm no longer Lord of Pheonix Drop, I feel that my leadership skills could come in handy, not just for one village, but for Meteli and countless other villages as well. Leading an Alliance required more than I could ever imagine. I didn't get the chance to lead the Alliance as well as Pheonix Drop for long before I was trown into the future. I feel terrible that the firat and last thing the alliance ever did was to help me, and I couldn't return the favor. I feel selfish for that. And I'm going to change it. I plan on traveling the regio and beyond to piece between villages and brung them together united. Even if they don't join our alliance, they will know that someone out there can help them. I don't want anyone feeling left out of this like the safehold was. This journey will be a long one but, it will also serve a triple purpose. I want to be able to form the alliance, find out more about Irene and what I am, as well as see those faces who I miss from lon ago. With that being said I propose to you this, I want to reforge the Pheonix Alliance with council from all the village lords who join. What say you? Are you with me?" Aph explained.

The Pheonix Alliance? Again?.... As it was I had been taking care of that as long as I had been here... It just.... I had the feeling Aphmau would want me to join alongside her.... But... Something about it.... I couldn't place my finger on it.

"This meeting is adjourned. Thank you all for coming," Aphmau said.

I watched as Aph and Laurance snuck off.... I followed behind them, watching as they got close to the portal to Irene's dimension. I watched as Aphmau tried to open the portal.... She tried to no luck, her power was strong, but the connection wasn't strong enough for it to work.

"It'll never work," I said.

Laurance readied his sword, just to calm down when he saw me.

"You won't be able to make it open until you build a connection," I said as she walked towards the shining portal once again.

She got close, but the magick was unstable.

"Aphmau no!" I yelled and ran out so I was the one who caught the impact of the disturbed magicks.

My body was jolted by a sharp sting and as I looked to see Aphmau was okay, my eyes felt heavy and my vision turned black.

"Why do you even want to create your own realm? It's not like we don't have anything to keep us entertained here," I said as I watched Irene try to create a realm.

"Just, tell me how you created that realm of your's again," she said as she looked back at me.

I sighed before standing up and showing her the proper stances.

"Realm creation is difficult. If you do something wrong, the entire plane is shifted and you won't be able to control it," I explained.

Irene took a deep breath and I helped her create a potal by supporting her magicks wit my own. It felt unstable still though and I shut of my connection. A small explosion occured and we sent back. I looked over to Irene anxiously only to see her laughing.

"What are you so cheery about?" I asked.

"Just that, if this realm creation doesn't work out, maybe I'll have another offensive magicks too work with," she joked.

I giggled.... We weren't able to create the realm that day.... I saw a flash only to now see Hyria working on something.

"She finally did it... Who knew it took quote unquote, winning a war, to do so..." Hyria said.

"Did you check to see if ut was stable?" I asked.

"I'm just a witch my dear, I may be powerful, but you are the expert on dimensions," Hyria said with a smile as she handed me some herbs and potions.
