The two little ones had no choice but to believe the words of the person Rey had turned to for help. The siblings seemed to try to breathe determination. At the last moment, they had to turn their faces so that they could point the weapons they carried in the direction of those who had accompanied them for so long. Rey, on the other hand, knew and understood that there were other less complicated means to revive any creature, even so, he did not understand why the old man-made use of that specific one. "He, in truth, is taking on more work than he shouldn't. Why? What does he want to do?"

Melody: "Expose your weakest point" she said to Rey's ear.

History: "You get attached to the creatures around you" she said to the other ear.

Although the action was driven by motives and ideas that with this act they could save their companions, it was not enough for any of the three little ones. All the time they spent within the rigorous training, the youngsters learned to care, not to harm and to avoid disturbing the eternal rest of someone leaving life. Still, the thin sound of combat objects broke through along with the scream of the boys. Jhades felt disgust at feeling such a sensation in his hands. Dante felt pity. Rey also felt it wasn't the right thing to do, but he had to do it.

The bloodied weapons pierced the side of the dead bodies' remaining vitality. Rey and his brothers experienced an unpleasant sensation, a sensation they could not be able to describe, but they could feel. The pain of others, it was not right to take advantage of someone who could not defend himself, much less a loved one. Before the eyes of the three brothers, the resting bodies began to dissipate into thin air. They wanted to, but could not even react to the physical departure of the remains of their most precious ones.

"What's going on?" asked confused who had no last name.

Wanting to want to hold all that fading glow in the air with his hands, the little white-eyed boy asked in tears:

"Why is it fading?"

Rey focused his gaze on the questioner, but no answer was forthcoming. The expression of indifference that dominated the Great Wise Wizard's face so irritated him that he almost did not hesitate to bolt out and forcefully ask for a convincing explanation.

"Don't do it, he's testing you once again," said Melody.

"He wants to see how manipulatable you are" History added.

...

As time passed...

"Rey..."

An unfamiliar voice, as much as enraged, came from behind the brothers.

Stunned, Rey decided to turn his face away.

"Did I hear you talking?" He even made eye contact with White and continued speaking, though he still found it hard to believe what he was seeing. "Is that your voice?"

"No" White replied, and angrily continued, "I can't speak... It's you who can hear me....".

Rey couldn't find the words to apologize and decide if such an apology would end up offending the magnificent beast that had come back to life. Jhades and Dante went out detached to embrace those beings, who returned, because they were precious to them. Rey remained in place, like someone who had forgotten how to move. White stepped forward; it was his way of calling out to the young man who hesitated to express what he felt. Rey regained control of his legs and hurriedly moved forward, took one step behind the other until he dropped his body on the white beast and held onto it with only his hands. Hiding his face in the silky fur of the one who always accompanied him, Rey hugged tightly the creature he thought he would never be able to see again.
