The Beacon- A Songs Of War Fanfiction (Rewrite)

Chapter 7

Nalla's p.o.v

We have been walking through the thick layer of snow for days, and we finally see green grass in the distance.

We had left our horses back at the Walls of Time. I would want to get Shade back, actually, since she's one of the last things I have left from my mother, other than her Songs both me and Kassa wield and her sword we keep in a chest. But it isn't worth the risk.

The whole journey has been mostly quiet. Sometimes Ky' Ria will ask Kaeleon something, and he responds with some strange answers, and then it's silence again.

Me, Elion nor Master Sylvia have spoken a word this entire time. Probably because we still don't know who he is, and if he is really working for Pythus, we don't really want to leak any information that could be useful to him.

As all of us step foot in the grass, Kaeleon falls behind a little bit. Feeling a bit suspicious he's trying to break away from us and escape, I stop and turn towards him. Just to be sure.

Kaeleon gazes at the grass, and then slowly kneels down, brushing his hand at the grass.

' What are you doing?' Elion asks, his first words after what feels like eternity.

' It's been a while since I've seen grass,' Kaeleon says.

' Grass is, almost everywhere,' Elion tells him, ' Maybe not in K'arthen or Cydonia and a couple other areas, but it's pretty much everywhere.'

' Not from what I remember, I don't think I've seen grass for 30 years or so…'

' 30 years?' Elion seems to not believe it.

' There isn't any grass in the End, kid,' Kaeleon gets up, walking next to Elion, giving him a shoulder pat, then walks past us.

' Kid?' Elion asks quietly, but I heard it as I was right next to him, ' We're 28 years old, we're not kids.'

' I guess we are in Ardoni age,' I tell him, following the others.

' Where are we going now?' it's Kaeleon's turn to ask a question.

' We're going to New Voltaria,' Ky' Ria tells him.

' Wait, New Voltaria?'

' Yes, it's where most of the Voltaris have been residing for the past 50 years.'

' Voltaris?!'

' Yes, Voltaris.'

' We can't go there!' Kaeleon protests,
' The Voltaris-'

' The Voltaris made peace with the other clans 50 years ago, Kaeleon,' Ky' Ria says, ' Thanks to Senn, their new master.'

' Wait a minute, Senn??'

' I suppose you know him?'

' Yeah, he's that guy who always seems to be with Relina. I don't know much about him, but we met, I think once, back in Nestoria.'

' Where'd you get that? The part of him with… Relina?' Elion asks.

' I don't know, apparently everything I say, you guys seem to disapprove, so I don't expect anything I know about Senn to be true,' Kaeleon tells him.

Senn's (OD) p.o.v

I make my way up the mountain, passing by the Walls of Time.

Soon, I reach the camp we had set up. I pass by Freya. ' Where's Relina?'

' She's up by the beacon, probably wants some time alone, she did not take Hana's secrecy lightly.'
