Third person p.o.v
They arrived at the castle hurrying inside to get out of the rain when they got inside they saw the rest of the team setting up Christmas decorations Tinker of course telling them where to put the decorations, Emma was making the Christmas tree, Tom and Kye were setting up the lights and Teep and SnowDrop were decking the halls, "keep her body hidden please, just for now..." Jade whispered hiding Summer's body deeper into the cloud Two of them nodded in agreement but Sly (who is a kid right now mentally) was chasing some tinsel blowing through the hall, (I find that cute) "James get Tinker, Sky bring Sum- uh the cloud downstairs would you?" Jade ordered the two nodded in agreement, Sky and Jade speedily walked past and into the basement, and James walked to Tinker "hey Tinkerbell kinda need your help" James said with a devilish grin Tinker turned to James with a deadpan face "stop....please it's the holiday season" Tinker said walking away "no wait! Tinky come back" James called out chasing after Tinker "no seriously we need help" "with what?" "Um a spell?" "Well your looking at the wrong guy, go ask the magic bro's" "no, it's a spell you knew about" "hm? I don't know what your talking about" James groaned rolling his eyes as he grabbed Tinker by the collar and dragged him into a shadow "Okay listen—" "wow you brought me here, must be serious" "huh? Uh yea it really is" "well then what did you need?" "Um a reserection spell?" "Who died and how bad?" "Um Summer and we couldn't bring her to life the first time?" Tinker sighed sadly rubbing his temples processing this new information "so your asking for a regeneration spell?" Tinker asked looking up sadly "uh yea I think" James said rubbing the back of his neck "it can't be done all at once it'll take a few sessions you realise that right?" Tinker said scribbling something down on spare paper he had "what? How come?" James said taking a seat expecting this to take a while "first is fixing the body making it liveable again and god will it hurt for the poor soul being dragged through this, next is convincing the God, both of them, to return the soul to its mortal coil, next is the tricky part....convincing the soul to come back—" Tinker explained taking a breath to realise James seemed confused at this step "why wouldn't she come back?" James asked "well for many reasons, she might not want to return, she might not believe she's needed, she might be scared, there a million different reasons on why—" "Okay so we just gotta convince them then right?" James asked understanding what he meant Tinker nodded "and the final part?" "Well then it's all up to the soul to decide, the body will change however and all injury issues that, yes were healed.....will still hurt" "like little hurt or lotta hurt?" "How'd she die? Not to be insensitive or anything" "Um well first the fall kinda fucked her up and then she fought....a....wyvern.....oh...." "so what ever pain she was given during that battle will hurt coming back in to the body unfortunately......I'm sorry she fell" Tinker said placing his hand on James' shoulder James gave a small nod but when he looked up to Tinker he was gone "fucking magic man!" James shouted out before giggling at his own sentence when he looked to the ground there was paper with a ritual scribbled onto the back James smiled 'thanks Tinkerbell' he thought taking the note and jumping out of the shadow and into the hall.

They finished drawing out the ritual and placing Summer's body on a pile of pillows in the middle of it, "Okay so what else does this thing need?" Jade asked wiping sweat from her brow James read through it again "we need Emma to heal her physical body and organs and the magic bro's to activate the circle of magic then you do the rest" James saw something on the note circled under just in case "oh and if her heart doesn't start when you heal her we need Tinker to start her heart" Jade sighed and nodded "should we show them the body?" "Depends..." "no guys I think we should tell everyone" Sky said interrupting the two siblings talk James and Jade looked at each other and nodded in agreement "then can you bring them in?" Jade asked looking to Sky, he nodded leaving the basement section, A lot of time passes before the rest team wandered down the stairs all except Teep and Tinker. "Where's Teep?" James asked Sky shrugged "I'm sorry I couldn't find him I think Tinker took Teep away for a bit" Sky said shrugging and watching the four horrified faces and watching Sly sit in the corner watching her body sadly, "Emma, Kye, Tom I know it's sad but w-we need your help..." Jade said stepping forward the three looked up "Sky can you take SnowDrop out?" James whispered Sky nodded picking SnowDrop up and walking out, "what happened?" Emma asked her voice trembling "she was attacked by a wyvern....and was slain in battle" James explained "and why is Sly acting like a child" Kye asking pointing to Sly "um a venom of some sort I dunno the full details" James explained again "can you three help us or not?" Jade asked kneeling down at the body the three nodded "Emma can you heal her body? And magic bro's can you start this magic?" The three went to their respective places, Emma began to heal Summer's body, her wounds healed and everything seemed A-Okay with the body, Next the boys began to chant, as they chanted the magic made the ritual spark to life. The three had left leaving only James, Jade and Sly with Summer's body (JJSS I dunno I find that funny) now it was time for Jade to start "so uh quick thing" James said interrupting Jade grumbled slightly as she turned to face her brother "what?" "When I talked to Tinker he said we had to convince the gods" "God's?" "I'm guessing the Raven Queen, my queen and your deity" "so two champions going to talk to their higher ups..." "mind if I tag along?" "Whatever....hurry up then" Jade said grabbing her amulet and beginning to chant James slid to his knees grabbing his amulet and began to chant also.

They entered the spirit realm once more, it was a beach of shining jewels and gems combined with the everflowing spiderweb of strings it looked like two different worlds had merged one of life, light and one of dark and death, the two siblings looked around in awe it was beautiful... when all of a sudden two giant figures emerged from the sea in front of them, The two gods reached a hand to their champions, the two champions hopped onto the palms of their gods as they were risen to reach eye level with them "back so soon my champion?" The Raven Queen said her pale porcelain feminine mask still never moving as she spoke, her long waving black hair rippled like water behind her "my dear child you've returned to me in good favour I presume" Saerenrae spoke her golden hair flowing softly behind her James knelt before his Queen And Jade did also "I've come here to ask you if you could release Summer's soul to us" Jade asked looking up to her God "is this true my champion?" The Raven Queen asked James nodded "yes my Queen" James said looking up to his Queen "well her mortal coil is healed and her team wish to have her returned to them" "but the question is does she want to return?" "S-so your going to let us try?" The two siblings asked The two gods shrunk down to James' and Jades size "yes" the two said in unison, Sarenrae kissed the forehead of Jade before disappearing, The Raven Queen removed her mask and kissed James' forehead before she disappeared.

The two gasped for breath sweating heavily, they looked around time had passed, they looked at Summer's body and sensed that they were one step closer to bringing her back.
