TBATE | Fix it all

Sylvie

- Old bat? - Virion interjected - "I can only be called that by..."

Virion's eyes widened in surprise. He looked at Grey, then at the door to the infirmary where Arthur lay.

- You really are! - Virion started to say, but suddenly he was out of sight. Grey was gone, too. Everyone near them hovered and couldn't understand what had happened. Caera was the first to speak, or rather scream.

- Argh... GREY! How many times have I told you not to do that!

- Uh, do you know what happened?

- Yes, I do! - Caera said angrily, looking at the spot where Grey was standing before.

- So what happened, then? Where's grandpa? - Tess asked, starting to worry about her grandfather.

- He'll be fine, now we just have to wait until Regis comes.

- Who? - everyone asked.

- Grey's bond.

- I didn't know he had a bond - Tess said thoughtfully.

- Well, he's a... a pretty special animal?

- Whoa! What the hell- Where are we? - Virion asked. They were on the roof of one of the academy buildings.

- We need to talk - Grey said, sitting down on the edge of the roof. After about five seconds Virion came up to him.

- Are you... Are you Arthur? - The old elf asked.

- Yes. It's good that you realized that.

- But... How? I could clearly see Arthur lying on the bed, talking to everyone. And if you're Arthur, you don't look anything like him, Virion began to wonder.

- A lot has happened...

- Tell me what happened, we have plenty of time - Virion said, sitting down next to him.

- Regis - the wolf came out of Gray's body - Go to Caera and tell everyone not to worry. Oh, and also, can you bring her here?

- Okay.

- Huh? Is he talking? You've got a good bond - Virion said, looking at Regis as he walked away.

- Well, he's kind of a jerk.

- I can hear everything!

- Just go!

- So that's it, you're in Alacrya - Virion said as he thought about what Grey had said.

- I'm not going to go into too much detail, because it's too hard for you to understand. I'll just say that through time, I went back in time - said Grey looking down.

- By the way, I've been meaning to ask you a question - Virion began.

- Yeah?

- Did you marry an Alacryan? - The elf asked. That was the conclusion that had to be drawn when Arthur finished his story on getting to Alacrya and wearing a ring on his ring finger.

- Hmm. Well, not exactly getting married... - Grey started to justify himself.

- It was an accident and not of our choosing. Honestly, it's just a cover-up - said a woman's voice from outside.

Looking at her and noticing the ring on her finger, Virion realized it was her that Arthur/Grey was talking about.

- "Alacryan" - the elf thought. Looking her over, he was beginning to think that Grey had chosen her because of her looks.
