Kurtis is on the cold floor, a pool of blood surrounding him, he has no more power to get rid of his rose fresh wounds. He almost can feel the air penetrating the openings on his hip, chest and right arm that was holding the chirughai. He looks as a fallen tree stormed down, empty inside. His skin akin to snow, whiter than usual.
He hears a noise approaching, he sees a black and tall silhouette whit long hair that had on her neck a light blue glow shape. The blue glow is all he can see in the blured background. He squeezes his tired eyes and manages to decipher her looks . She is dressed in a knees-length dress. Definitely it wasn't Lara, this girl wasn't her and Kurtis was sure even if he almost can't see anything.
Kurtis lifted his blue eyes and asked the girl:
Kurtis: Who are you?
The girl: It doesn't matter.
He already started doubting her, this form is either a reaper or an angel of light.
Kurtis: Why are you here then?
The girl: To save you.
Her words sound empty, she doesn't have a soul?
Kurtis: What about Lara?
The girl: She will be fine, I promise. Give me your healthy hand.
She stretched her arm to him. At first he was hesitant but then he realizes there is no other choice than dying, so he gives in. He grabbed her hand whit his left hand, he touches her hand which is hot and delicate almost ghostly to him. His senses dulling more and more he wanders if he will go to heaven or hell. He is on his foots now leaning whit his left hand on the girl's shoulder. His hip was hurting he puts his right hand on the left hip that was deep wounded by the Boaz and it was still blending and moans some words:
Kurtis: Where we are going?
The girl: Home. Don't ask more. Rest your voice.
Lara has just finished whit Karel and Edckhart and she is coming to the arena whit the speed of light.
Lara: Kurtis? Are you here?
She comes in the middle of the arena with fast heartbeats. There was a pool of dark red on it was Kurtis's chirughai. She grabbed it and put her tiny fingers in the special holes; he opened his lames and showed to Lara the way to his master, before she stretched her arm.
Lara followed him out of the building; there the chirughai retracted his lames. She looked around no one was there. Lara sighs and lefts her head down closing her hazel eyes punting the lethal weapon in her backpack. A light blue glow comes from down the watered back streets, she opened her eyes, she kneels and lifts a necklace that it had a rhomboid diamond attached to it that was glowing whit a light blue, it's glow mesmerizing. The light that emanets from in within seems to pull you in an endless mistery.

Lara: What a beauty!
She put her index finger on it; it was hot and delicate like the hands of that women. Then she put the necklace in her trouser pocket. She observed that the blood from her hand disappeared.

Kurtis was on a bed, a big bed rested under him he opened his eyes and looked around, until his eyes caught a window, he gazed at the landscape it was so beautiful, a landscape from the paradise. Tall waterfalls and forest green vegetation. He get up I'm in Eden?' he asks himself . Even the room was godly, motionless angels rested as decorations on the walls, a chandelier of rainbow crystal above the whole room. He gets off the blanket and get off the bed to walk on a cloudy carpet of a sky blue. He smiles and moves his toes feeling the soft fabric.
Outside a blonde girl was awaiting him. She looks at him and said:
The blonde: The queen informed me to help you to get at her before you wake up; she wants to talk with you, so Sir please come whit me.
Kurtis: Okay. May I know your name, Lady?
Solara: My name is Solara, Solara the nymph, I'm only a help from the queen, and I'm not a lady from the court. And you must be Kurtis, the last one from the Lux Veritatis?
Kurtis: Yeah, were I'm?
Its amazing how they know so much about him , but if none attack led him yet it means his in good hands right?
Solara: In the palace of Atlantis you came here trough a portal, we are underwater, and probably it sounds ridiculous but is real.
Kurtis: I'm convinced is real, thanks. So, everyone from here lives in paradise?
Solara: Yes, we are living in the paradise. Here she is.
The words of the nymph are short and you can't ask back anything. So fast.
They arrived at a tall door that had aqua complicated designs on it. Solara opened the oak door and Kurtis got through it, he looks, he see a big throne in a round room made from marble, there was a beautiful lady whit forest eyes and long and dark hair whit a pale-honey skin she had a light blue knee-length dress without sleeves whit a belt on her tiny middle, at her neck was a light blue diamond that was glowing, she looked at him and said:
The beauty: Kurtis Heisstrum, what a pleasure to meet you! Please take a seat. She snapped her fingers and a little levitating sofa had appeared.
Kurtis sat on the sofa a bit scared and asked the girl:
Kurtis: Who are you?
Sidonia: I'm Sidonia the queen of Atlantis, One of the three keepers of the three pieces of the scion.
Kurtis: Thanks a lot for saving me, but I have to go to Lara to stay with her.
Sidonia: Lara Croft the archaeologist will come to you, you don't have to go to her, and she will come after you to find you my Son. How about a glass of ambrosia? It is the sweetest thing you will ever taste. Again she snapped her fingers and a little coffee table whit a glass that had a pink-orange liquid appeared.
Kurtis taste, it was really sweet. The sweet slightly alcoholic runs in his veins and insides. He can feel the taste of the forests and high mountains, the taste of canopy and sea all together.
The queen drank a little and she looked at the boy, Kurtis watched in her eyes he can't see trough them she had a barrier that protected her thoughts like Kurtis's barrier.
Suddenly he realized his in the real word, he feels his beating heart, every scar that was on his body it's gone.
Sidonia: welcome home dear cousin.
She says as Kurtis remembers everything from here.
