The Ardoni Legacy: Return of The Angel

'The escape'

Luna slept uncomfortably sitting up. Luna snored quietly but something woke her up, she heard the jingling of her chains, then all of a sudden, her arm fell to the ground, but she still felt the cuff around her wrist, "w-wha...?" Luna groaned, she saw a dim red glow near her, it was Lucidius, "sshhh" Lucidius gently put a finger on Luna's lips, making her shush, "I'm helping you escape, just...keep it down, alright..?" Lucidius whispered, Luna nodded reluctantly, "good" Lucidius whispered back as he unlocked the cuff on Luna's wrist, "now, all I have to do now is to free your tail and right wrist" Lucidius whispered as Luna nodded.

After a couple of minutes, Luna was free, "ah, it feels good to walk again" Luna said to Lucidius in a quiet voice, Lucidius grabbed Luna's hand and forced her to follow him, Luna followed reluctantly as Lucidius dragged her. Eventually they reach the outside, Luna shivered a bit due to the cold temperature, Lucidius slowly let Luna's hand go as he looked at her straight in the eyes, "mind if I come with you..? I really hate this place..." He said dully, "of course Lucidius, you helped me, so I shall help you" Luna whispered back as she held his shoulder, Lucidius smiled, "thanks" Lucidius replied as he held Luna's shoulder aswell.

Lucidius ran down the snowy bank as Luna followed, "wait up!" Luna laughed, "oh yeah? You know Voltaris are naturally fast!" Lucidius chuckled, "not as fast at the Nestoris clan! Their hooves help them run at lightning speeds ya'know?" Luna giggled as she caught up to Lucidius. They ran together but Thalleous was on Luna's mind for the whole time, Luna was worried, is Thalleous okay? Did the Voltaris get to him? Did them sacrifice him like Tygren said? This lingered in Luna's mind before she blew up into a full blind panic, "woah! Woah! Are you okay Luna?!" Lucidius rasped as he patted her back, "y-yeah..I'm really worried about Thalleous...what if he died..? What if he thought I ran away? What if he hates me..?"
"Of course he doesn't Luna, he'll always love you, after all, I have heard that you like him" Luna sighed, Lucidius had a point, "your right..." Luna muttered under her breath. Eventually the cold snow came to an end as grass appeared and it became warmer, Lucidius shivered, but Luna didn't mind the cold snow, "how can you manage the snow..?" Lucidius asked, "I'm a Sendaris you know? We have fluffy feet, hands and chests so we can deal with cold water, plus, the females have paws~!" Luna lifted her foot up, revealing paw pads, "aw!" Lucidius chuckled, "Thalleous usually teases me because I have paw pads, but he finds it cute that I have them" Luna giggled.

<<<EEEEEE MEANWHILE WITH THALLEOUS AND HIS FRIENDS>>>

Thalleous was curled up on the grass with his knees brought up to his chin, Lily was sound asleep under Thalleous's arm, snuggling him. Thalleous stroked Lily's hair gently to comfort her as she slept, Thalleous thought about Luna nonstop, all he wanted was the Captain of the A.A.C back, all he wanted was Luna back. Thalleous eventually fell asleep snuggling Lily, but a Nightmare entered his vision. Thalleous wandered about in his Nightmare, then he saw something that nearly made his heart stop, Luna dead. Thalleous yelped out of fear as he woke up, Thalleous breathed heavily with wide eyes, his eyes were full of fear, Lily got up startled hearing Thalleous yelp. Lily looked at the Sendarian Ardoni with his head in his hands, Lily saw tears stream down his hands onto his legs, Lily crawled up to him alarmed, "are you okay Thalleous?!" Lily rasped as she rubbed his back, "...I...I want L-Luna back..." Thalleous replied in a wobbling voice.

●I changed Ardonia's map for my fanfic so Mt. Velgrin is close to Sendaria●

Thalleous heard rustling behind him, Thalleous jumped up onto his feet as he pulled out his great diamond broadsword, "Thalleous?!" Came a familiar voice, Thalleous froze on the spot, "LUNA?!" Thalleous yowled shocked as he ran to the bushes, Luna emerged from the distance with Lucidius by her side. Thalleous spotted Luna in the distance with wide eyes, Luna and Thalleous froze on the spot as they found eachother, Lily smirked as she looked at Senn, "I know exactly whats gonna happen~" Lily teased Senn, "Yep, romance~" Senn replied with a grin.

Luna darted towards Thalleous with her arms open wide, Thalleous bent down as he opened his arms wide, Luna darted into his arms, making Thalleous fall back. Luna hugged Thalleous with all of her strength as Lucidius watched a bit surprised. Thalleous chuckled lightly before sitting up, he wrapped his arms around Luna as Luna lifted her head up. Luna squeezed her way out of Thalleous's arms before pressing her lips against Thalleous's lips, Thalleous was a bit shocked by the sudden movement of Luna, but eventually he gave in and cupped her cheek before closing his eyes.

Lucidius shyly walked into the clearing with a dull look in his eyes, Lily swiftly pulled out her blades and lunged at Lucidius, pinning him down. Lucidius was embarrassed, he never knew a child could overpower him. Lucidius tried to push Lily off, but with no success...she was just too strong...Lily pulled the blades back, getting ready to finish  Lucidius before Tygrenias stopped her, "WAIT! He's no harm! He's like me, uh, harmless!" Tygrenias yowled, Lily scowled, "he was gonna be my kill! You know how much I want to eliminate the Voltaris!" Lily complained, Tygrenias sighed, "Kill Zinaida if you want to kill someone" Tygrenias replied in a more stubborn and stern voice. Lucidius looked at Tygrenias helplessly as Lily laughed, "Aaww! Look at your face! That face is priceless!" Lily laughed as she got up off Lucidius, offering a hand to help him up.

Lucidius shyly grabbed her hand as Lily pulled him up with no problem, "Uhm, hello" Lucidius said awkwardly as he bowed, "oh no no no, there's no need to bow!" Tygrenias bowed to him instead, "I should really practice my curtsy" Lucidius muttered to himself, "how do you know I'm a disappointment to my clan, uh, Tygrenias?" Lucidius asked, "your just a good one, like me, your a disappointment to the clan, I'm a disgrace, a mistake to the clan..." Tygrenias sighed, "sheesh, looks like everyone hates ya" Lucidius replied, "yeah, but everyone here thinks the opposite, they think I'm in the right, at first I was threatened by Lily, she's a little beast lemme tell ya"
"Really? I was quite embarrassed when Lily pinned me down, I'm an adult! And she's a child!" Lucidius's cheeks flushed red due to embarrassment, "there's no need to be embarrassed, she makes up for it in the end but uh, she is a little rascal! She teases all of us! She can be rude and- yeah, she said that she doesn't mean to be rude, it was the bullies who made her this way"
