Mytheras POV:
I sat there, speechless. I watched him die, I watched it.
Tears began to poor down my face, my lips quivered and my fists tightened "you're just another shape shifter... Travis is dead.." I whispered my voice croggy.
"Mythera it's me." Travis held both of my hands.
"How.." I whispered "you... I..."
He pulled me into a hug, we sat there for a while before Alexis and Laurance came running.
"What's taking you so l-" Alexis looked at Travis. "Travis??" She stopped.
"I.. Buried you.." Laurance jaw dropped.
"Please... Let me explain.." He whispered.
I stood up and everyone followed me into my house, I lit a candle and placed it on the table sitting down.
"Where do I begin..." He sighed "alright..."
*flash back Travis POV*
I walked into the light, when I did I wasn't in heaven... Or hell honestly I don't know where I was. "Hello?!?" I shouted.
"Ah." A voice said "you must be Travis." A girl appeared.
"Yeah-who are you.." I asked.
"Your guardian." She smiled "Travis, I'm here to give you a second chance at life."
"What?" I looked at her, confused.
"You see, you're part demon. Of course you know that. So you didn't fully die. I'm here to get you back to earth, you'll be stuck in your demon form for a while though." She smiled "and of course, that might change your personality sometimes.."
"Why are you giving me a second chance?" I asked.
"Because without you, things won't turn out how they need to for the world to be safe. You need to be there." She replied. "I'm going to put you as a guard in the Kings castle, you're going to be the guard of Mytheras cell. As long as she's there you can't tell her anything." She replied. "Good luck." She smirked handing me a mask and disappearing.
*end of flashback*
"And... That's what happened..." Travis sighed.
I sat there, staring at the table. "Travis.." I mumbled his name over and over, "Travis.." I wiped my tears "damnit.."
Alexis jaw dropped "Travis... You're.. Alive.." She whispered getting her thoughts together.
Laurance said nothing.
The next thing I knew I wrapped my arms around Travis, pulling him into a tight hug, he was taller than usual I couldn't even reach his lips.
He hugged me back, resting his head on mine.
"Travis.." I whispered "I.."
"We should sleep, this is something we need to process.." Laurance stated.
I nodded "Alexis you can sleep in my room with me, and you guys can sleep on the sofas...." I looked at Travis, tears prickled down my cheek.
Me and Alexis went to my room, climbing into the bed and drifting off to sleep.
When I woke up, I has almost though it was a dream. Till I noticed Alexis beside me. I got out of the bed, and made my way to the kitchen, where I grabbed a apple and ate it. I wanted to be happy, but all I could do was cry.
"Morning.." Laurance walked in and sat beside me "you okay?"
I shook my head "no.. I'm not." I smiled.
"Mythera." He sighed and hugged me "it'll be okay.. I understand, you were finally getting over his death. And he's alive.. And-"
I smiled "as much as I want to be happy I cant... It's just so weird.." I mumbled bitting the apple.
"Mythera, I promise. It will be okay."
I nodded "yeah.." I looked down at the table "I need to start training.." I muttered.
"For what?" He asked.
"I need to learn how to sword fight, and I need to get a new bow... although I can't tell you why."
He sighed "I'm sure Alexis can help you with the sword thing, and.. I could help you with finding a bow."
I nodded "thanks.." I mumbled bitting the apple. "How is this now weird for Travis? He seemed so.. Normal. I.."
Alexis walked in taking the seat across from me "morning." She yawned.
"Morning.." I smiled.
"What are we talking about?" She asked.
"Nothing.. Just Travis..." I said turning and looking towards the sleeping Travis.
"Yeah..." Alexis sighed "it's so... Strange having him back..."
I nodded "I want things to be the same... But... It's not the simple.."
Zander started barking, which made Travis wake up.
"When did you get the dog?" Alexis asked.
I stood up "he found me." I replied walking to the dog and petting him.
There was a knock at the door, I opened it and seen Jordan "what do you want?" I asked.
"I come baring gifts."
I raised a eyebrow "speak."
"I'm sorry for flirting with you." He handed me a bag of apples.
"All is forgiven." I take the bag "you can leave."
He nodded and turned around, leaving.
I turned around to see Alexis and Travis the both with raised eyebrows.
"I already told you Alexis, that's Jordan." I stated placing the bag of apples on the table.
"How'd you meet Jordan?" Alexis asked.
"I was in another village looking for a house, and we were both looking at the same one. He flirted. I got mad. I left and he followed me here. He's kinda creepy." I continued to eat my apple "and now he lives here." I sighed bitting my apple.
"Hm... Stalker much." Alexis laughed.
I shrugged and looked at Travis, I wasn't use to it. I gave a small smile, but really I wanted to cry.
He sat beside Alexis,not saying much.
I hit my apple "I also ran into Brendan and jkaksksk... Then left them. I was originally planning on being alone..." I sighed "because of what i have to do." I looked down "it could end up costing me my life." I sighed.
No one said a word.
I finished my apple and I put the core down and gulped "I visited your house, in the original village Travis." I said. "I used the saw in your work room to cut my chains. And your sword my hair." I muttered "being back in that village took the life out of me."
Alexis frowned "you didn't run into Lilith or any of them?" She asked.
I shook my head "not once.."
I looked up at Travis, who was being awkwardly quiet. "Why don't you talk.." I asked.
"Because... I can tell things aren't the same here. And I don't think they ever will be." He replied.
"It will take time to get use to again.." Laurance replied.
"But we love you.." I added.
"And having you back is something amazing." Alexis smiled.
