The magic in us: The unity of realms

08: Stand and Cower

Feeling my temperature cool down I start to regain feeling in my hands and feet again.

Opening my eyes I find myself in the medical wing. How did I get here?

Trying to sit up one of the nurses comes in and stops me.

"You shouldn't be moving, you're still recovering from your panic attack," they say and I look at them confused.

"Panic attack?" I repeat and someone else walks into view.

"When we told you about the Voyers you started to hyperventilate to the point where you blacked out" Ohera explains while helping me up.

"How are you doing?" She asks and I look at my hands.

"Fine, for the most part. These Voyers, they're nothing like the people here or anywhere, they will stop at nothing until they dominate this realm and its worlds," I say as she sits at the end of the bed.

"I'm scared, Ohera, I don't want to go through that pain again and I don't want to lose more people than I already have" I express and she puts a hand over mine.

In these few seconds of silence, she takes her time to think.

"I'm scared too, we have no idea of what's coming but we can't let that rule us. You, me, and Aurora have been through battle after battle, we have been preparing for this moment and yes we will feel scared but as long as we fight together we don't have to be," she says encouraging me with her pep talk.

Feeling better and encouraged I say, "so what's our plan"

Standing up she says, "I have effected an immediate evacuation for everyone in the city, this place will be the prime target so we have a small base not too far from here when your ready just meet us outside and help the people evacuate"

Just like it was in New York.

As she walks away I sit still for a while to make sure I am entirely well and ready to go.

Asking for a nurse to discharge me they give me a short evaluation to double-check that I am alright.

As soon as they give me the okay I immediately head to the front of the castle.

Standing at the cross-section of the stairs to my room and the exit, I think to myself.

We don't have the power to take on the Voyers and there's no telling how many are coming. I have the ability to call the only person who can harm them. Jordan.

The rune is just in my room, I can activate it and he said he'll come.

But what if he dies because of my decision? The fake Jordan was right, this isn't his battle to fight.

Leaving the idea of using the rune I run outside and see everyone trying and leave the city in a panic.

Walking into the large group of people I yell, "please just remain calm, we will get you all out"

No one seems to listen. Our once-growing city of harmony will now be laid to waste.

Noticing a few people struggling to carry their bags I run over and help.

Walking with their bags to a few of the guards I ask them to take the bags and take the people to the new base.

Following my orders, they head off and I head back into the chaos.

Helping people up when they fall down and continuing to carry bags there is still a lot of people left to evacuate.

During the chaos, I notice a kid not moving. I walk over to him.
