My Beginning After the End Termination

Coming Home

Cecilia

"You ready?" Arthur asked as we stood in front of a portal we found moments ago, he was going to take us back to Alacrya. Virion, Nithe, and Ivy were unconscious, their wounds were fatal, but luckily they were attended too quickly.

"I think we are all ready." Sylvie said, holding Virion's body in her arms, I had Ivy's, and Nico was carrying Nithe's. Sadly, and it hurts to say this, because I knew them quite well, within Arthur's ruins laid three corpses, the other children that fell in battle.

I nodded, then the portal shifted in front of us, changing from blue to purple, and Arthur motioned for us to step in. He was barely functioning, but we needed him to get us out of here, when everything was over, the zone shifted and we all felt a portal open up, it was far, but we managed to get here.

Eleanor was silently standing by her brother's body, looking at it with sadness, but she knew that he was going to be okay. I think the only thing I was worried about right now was the aftermath of the battle in Epheotus.

If anything, both armies were dead, and if they weren't, they weren't even close to fifty percent of their numbers prior to the fight, probably not even close to ten percent, but we will see. We needed to get these three, even Arthur and Sylvie to the medical wing within Taegrin Caelum where two or three of Virion's clones remain.

Seris will be able to inform us on what had gone down, she should be there as protection for the Leywins and the others. We all stepped into the portal, and as we did, we ended up within Taegrin Caelum's teleportation gate, the Wraiths there stepped back in surprise, then in shock when they saw the shape we were all in.

I stepped up, knowing they would take orders from me. "Send word to Seris that we have arrived, get Melody and Cassandra as well, let them know we will be in the medical wing." The two of them nodded and ran off.

"Where is it?" Sylvie asked me, giving me a worried expression, wanting to make sure that the boy she loved is okay. I motioned forward, and we all started to walk again, making our way through Taegrin Caelum. "What about your parents, Arthur?"

"El, can you go and get them?" Arthur asked, then added. "And Tess, they should meet us as well, we can inform everybody at once, it'll be easier, and it's not like it needs to stay a secret or anything."

"Of course." She said, looking at one brother, then looking at the other. "Make sure he's okay."

"We will." Sylvie said, and we turned the corner, leaving Eleanor behind as she went straight to go up to the living quarters. "You think it's wise to bring your parents down here, I mean, look at your brother."

"They deserve to be down here." Arthur told her. "They should see him, they should see us, and they should know what happened." I agreed with him, they did deserve it, I just don't know if Virion would want that.

We walked in silence, and when we got to the medical wing, Virion's clones were standing out in the hallway, there were three of them, so I was right. "Put one in each room." They ordered, and that's what everyone did, I separated from the pack and entered a room with one of the clones and placed Ivy's body onto the bed.

"Thank you, Cecilia." The clone said, looking at me as he started to heal her using blood magic. "You did a lot for us today, and I am thankful, I am just seeing everything that has gone down, if we would have been able to come out of hiding, we would have been there for you guys."

"I don't think you would have been able to get there." I said, looking at him, shaking my head. "But I'm just glad I remembered that you had clones here in case you needed healers and you couldn't do it."
