"I think I have an idea," Queen Meadow says," would you come with me?," she holds out her hand. "Ehm... okay," I say and take it while getting up," where are we going?" "Let's have a talk with Queen Mirialla about possibly having you have one last meeting with your passed partner, hm?," she smiles at me. "There wouldn't be a chance...," I say. "Oh just you wait, I have got an idea," with that we climb back down and head to the library.

"Mirialla?," Queen Meadow looked around the library and soon my Queen landed back inside. "Meadow?," she looks at us," Wren?" "Could I ask for one last favour?," Queen Meadow asks. "It really depends my friend," Queen Mirialla says. "I would like for Archimage Wren to have one last meeting with their passed loved one," the Queen says," I will make sure nothing bad will happen during the meeting, Fir will assist me in keeping any creatures from Death in Death. If this would for one reason or another not work out, I will take full responsibility for any outcome that may come."

I was trying really hard to keep my breathing under control. I got one chance to get Iliana back to earth, I got one last chance to see her before my own passing. I could not make any mistakes and I only got a few minutes to do this. "Go whenever you are ready Archimage Wren," Fir says, I nod and breath out before reaching over towards Death. I focus and try to find her. I have so little time to make this work... What if it doesn't work? How much time has passed already? Do I still have time? I couldn't feel her, not anywhere... I swallow and search harder, deeper into the- "Time is almost up," I hear. I give up.

"Wren?! Is that you?!," I open my eyes and see Iliana standing between the ruins, vaguely. "Ana..," I blink but she's still there, she runs up to me and wants to hug me but falls right through me," I'm sorry, we can't touch this time," I say. "Why not? I missed you, how is it going back there? Are you okay? Why are you so teary eyed?," she looks at me with that look of worry and sadness. "I have to say goodbye," I say," for now, until I'm there with you. I'm sorry but doing this isn't safe for either one of our realms. It will be safer if we stop, I'm so sorry." "Oh... okay," she sounds so sad, I look at her and want to hug her, take her pain away, but I am not able to...," then I will see you... when you get here?" I nod," yes, I promise you will be the first person I look for," she nods as well. "Okay," she says," okay... then I'll be waiting for you," she smiles at me," and don't forget that I -" "What are you all doing?!!!"

The sudden loud noise broke my concentration and I see Ardian running up to me. "Stop!," Queen Mirialla looks at him, he stops and stands still, clearly breathing heavily from anger," I allowed for this to take place, one last time," the Queen says," I have my reasons for allowing this. Which do not concern you, so before you ask, no I will not be sharing that with you. Then now, we have some Slain's to find and lure back here," with that Queen Mirialla turns and flies off. I look at Ardian, he had a nearly murderous look on his face, then I decide to walk off, I was angry.

I hear a loud windy sound outside my home, I don't react to it. It's most likely one of the Dragon Guards, not Morris... Morris, he died way too soon, he was starting to become my friend, at least... I felt like we were starting to become friends... We were right? I miss him... it's been nearly a week since it happened but I miss him. I put the last few things in my bag before starting to close it. Then my eye falls on the photo of me and Iliana and a doll she made. I stop and walk over to the dresser to pick them both up from their spots.

Should I take them with? I take a breath and then put them inside the bag as well before really closing it up

Should I take them with? I take a breath and then put them inside the bag as well before really closing it up. I just wanted to throw it over my shoulder when someone knocks on my door. I stop and quietly walk over. "Archimage Wren?," it was Guard Fir," I know you're in there, I also know you're alive. Could I please come in?" I breath out before opening the door and letting him walk inside. "What brings you here?," I ask him.

"I was asked to come get you back to The Residence," he says looking behind me," but seeing as you have been packing I'm assuming you are leaving?" I sigh and sit down on the couch," I cannot stay here," I say," the only person I ever managed to really love has been dead for about two years, I'm not allowed to contact her anymore, the only place to is inside The Residence where Ardian is constantly walking around, doing his thing to create that second portal... I don't want to be here anymore, I can't be here anymore. I'm of no use."

"I think we could use your help," Fir says. "Yeah certainly," I scoff before getting up," I'm not strong enough to fight, Guard Fir, and with all respect, I have the choice to go somewhere. Maybe I will go to the territory my family went back to a few years ago. I have not seen them in a long time." "Actually... Queen Meadow and Queen Mirialla asked for you, which is why I am the one asked to pick you up," Guard Fir says," it might be of worth for you too to come and at least listen to what they want to say before you leave? If you still want to after seeing them. I am sure they will not stop you."
