The Ardoni Legacy: Return of The Angel

'Adventure and loss'

Lily blocked an attack by Senn, Senn, Lily and Ria were training all together as a trio. Lily tackled Senn with ease, he landed onto the ground with a grunt, Ria lunged at her with her wooden sword, Lily blocked it with her own wooden sword then she shoved her down with her elbow, "two for me, zero for you two!" Lily laughed as she helped Ria and Senn up, "yeesh, your good" Senn admitted in defeat, Ria budged Senn with her elbow, "c'mon! Don't give up that easily!" Ria giggled as Senn rubbed his arm with a scowl, Thalleous came over with a smile, "you three training?" He asked with a smile, "yeah, we just finished for a break" Ria replied, "we haven't beaten Lily once! She's a good fighter-"
"And tackler" Ria interrupted Senn with a laugh, "well, do you three want to hear a tale about me?" Thalleous said softly, Senn and Ria's defeat turned to excitement, "yes please!" Ria exclaimed excitedly, "okay okay youngsters, let's go to my room so I can tell you about the tale" Thalleous started to walk off with a small purr like noise, Lily followed Thalleous as Senn and Ria followed on.

Thalleous sat down on his bed as Senn and Ria sat on the stone floor, Lily sat down between them as Senn looked at her excitedly, then Thalleous started to talk about an adventure he had been on, but something was off, Lily's head fuzzed but she didn't mind it, but after a couple of minutes it really concerned her, "within an adventure, you need to make sacrifices and losses-"
"I'm going to get a cup of water" Lily interrupted with a concerned voice, "uh- go ahead then..?" Thalleous replied confused at Lily's sudden urge to speak, Lily got up and she walked off, then she felt a shock of pain through he limbs, then she fell forwards unconscious. Thalleous noticed Lily on the floor, he initially thought that she had fallen over, but after a couple of seconds, he noticed something was wrong, "Lily?" Thalleous asked as he walked over to the unconscious child on the floor, "L-Lily?" Thalleous repeated as his heart sank, Thalleous bent down to her, then his eyes widened with terror, "LILY!" Thalleous blurted out as he rolled her over onto her back, Thalleous put his ear on her chest, he felt a pulse, but it was small, "Senn! You help me lift Lily onto the bed, and Ria! You go and get a wet towel!" Thalleous ordered panicked.

Lily felt herself being lifted up from the stone floor, she saw nothing but blackness, then, in her dream state, she turned around to see a eight year old girl just about her height, but Lily was stunned: long blonde hair, emerald green eyes, height and appearance, she looked exactly like Lily, but...different... "hello" The girl started in her soft voice, "uh- hello" Lily replied in her more hoarse and deep voice. The two paused briefly before the girl spoke again, "I know what your thinking, your thinking this is a dream, am I right?" The girl spoke, "Uhm- yes..." Lily admitted, "well, this isn't any ordinary dream, it's a special dream only made for specific people" the girl giggled before disappearing, "how am I special? I'm just some outcast" Lily said as she looked down, "well, your no normal outcast!" She laughed as she tapped Lily on the shoulder, "enough stalling, I have something important to tell you Lily" she began, Lily nodded, "the Nether will return once more, without a hero, they can't be stopped, I am tasking you to do this Lily"
"Why...I'm no one special...I'm just a maniac who killed one of their bullies..." Lily sighed, "we all make mistakes Lily, your the one Ardonia needs the most, no one is more special then you, Ardonia needs you"
"Why me..?" Lily said as she lifted her head up, facing the girl, "because your ancestor has made your other half" the girl disappeared, Lily slowly opened her eyes a light seeped into her vision, "Lily! Praise Ardonia your awake!" Thalleous sighed relieved, but Lily look puzzled, Senn looked at Lily's face closely, "Lily, are you okay?" Senn asked, but Lily didn't reply, what does that girl mean by 'because your ancestor has made your other half' Lily thought puzzled, then a answer clicked into her head, "hheelllooooo?" Ria waved her hand in front on Lily's face to grab her attention, "Lilli-Mae Rose..." Lily murmured as she looked at her hands, but she realised that someone had taken her amour off, "pardon?" Thalleous replied puzzled, "...LILLI-MAE ROSE!" Lily exclaimed shocked, "IF LILLI WAS IN A SPECIAL DRESM THEN LILLI DIDNT DIE! ,at least I think so"
"Lily looks a little confused, calm down Lily, it's likely that was a dream" Thalleous sighed as he gently pushed her down back under the covers, "no! It wasn't any normal dream! Lilli has called upon me to save Ardonia! And the Nether is going to return!" Lily exclaimed as she jumped out of the bed, "wait- where did you guys put my armour?" Lily asked, "there-" a gut-wrenching scream came from the distance, "what was that?!" Lily asked startled as she started to put on her amour in a hurry, "we'd better go and see!" Thalleous sprang into action and sprinted off, Senn and Ria followed on, "hey! Wait for me!" Lily said as she ran off to keep up with them, "is it just me, or do I smell fire...?" Ria said concern, "OSIVIAN!" Senn screamed as he saw a lifeless body on the ground, Lily's eyes widened with terror, "oh deary me! I swear I didn't mean to kill him...!" a Voltaris teased with a fake sniffle, Lily's eyes widened with terror, "it's began..." Lily murmured terrified.
