Alec now turned to his family to tend to their care. Much of what they had suffered had been in their minds trying to destroy their being. They had been mentally scarred Sue, Aleciamora and Clarona joined their minds with Claire, Alecia and Clara and this time there was no objections from Alec. He had seen for himself after being joined with Sue the goodness that was in them and how he had misunderstood them from the very beginning.
They all released themselves from their hosts and it was Aleciamora that told them it would take time for the healing but told Alec they would be okay. What is this legend that you mentioned looking at all 3 of the gatherers. It is difficult to explain they said in terms that you would understand but it was written so long ago that when in the hour of desperate need and the existence looked as though it would be destroyed one would come forward to save us all. The one in this case was you Alec said Sue softly now I could see why Ramon had such faith in you and that was why Ramon came to us to aide us and assisted me to unleash the hidden power within me and channelled through your being destroyed Egesa. Your faith, trust and undoubted courage matched Egesa's powers but could not destroy him alone and now I understand why Ramon would not let me join the battle but only observe, he was the one who knew all of this. Tears now fell from Sue's eyes he was the wisest gatherer we have ever had and he will be sorely missed.
He will not be missed said Alec they all looked at him surprised. He is a part of me now as he is a part of everyone here he will always be our guide. Whether you realize it or not Alec you and all of your family are now part of us and this you cannot deny. Looks like I've let myself in for something I never bargained for he said with a smile on his face we are unfortunately all involved in this and looks like there is no escape. Aleciamora told them all you are now bound to us, you are a part of us but you and your ancestors will only be called on in time of our greatest need. It is time for us to leave looking ar Clarona we have many things to do to repair the damage our ways are needed.
They left Sue behind and went on their way. Sue turned to the family and embraced each one in turn saying "it has been an absolute pleasure and honour to be with you. Alec knew that this was to be fairwell "will we ever see you again" Yes for I have made a great friendship with you all and I will value that for as long as I exist, I shall come to you when you least expect it said Sue. As always remarked Alec but you will for my part will now always be welcome. Sue bade them farewell and returned to the collective.
