Part 1

Cedric fell to the ground. He has been defeated along with rest of his forces and no longer possessed power of Phobos, Nerissa or Elyon. Guardians was still in their transcended forms unaware of themselves. They were nothing more than pure power manifestations of Aurameres now. Inside them however they tried to understand themselves and what became of them until they heard familiar voices that called them back. Altough they didn't recognize them, they felt that they are friends and care for them. Soon they felt light around them and slowly remember themselves just as power granted by committing themselves to dragon power faded. They felt like they have awoken from bad dream, but now it was over. They stood in middle of street along with their friends, reunited by former guardians and Elyon. It was victory although it required all power they had and many sacrifices. Although part of Meridian lied in ruins from battles with Phobos forces, Elyon insisted that before large rebuilding work begins her people and friends need to celebrate victory over both Nerissa and Phobos.

Celebration was set near castle of Meridian with more than thousand people attending. Guardians set at highly decorated table together with queen, Caleb and Matt. Cornelia was throwing stories at table about their fights against Nerissa to Elyon.

-"You know Corny, listening at you I think Nerissa hit your head harder than it looked like back then", Irmas interrupted Cornelias story.

Everyone except Will and Cornelia started to laugh.

"Ok I guess, I overdid with importance of my role there, and I guess we all fought equally hard" replied Cornelia when laughter stopped. She hated when Irma made fun of her.

"But is it so bad that I slightly exaggerate my role a little in front of my friends?"

"Slightly!?" Irma almost shouted.

"Stop this" Elyon interrupted conversation as she didn't wanted this conversation to go out of control, specially during such joyful event as her celebration "you don't have to make stories up so I would like you. You all are still my friends despite how much each of you did".

For a moment deadly silence overtook table. "Sorry about this" said Elyon "don't take it too close and just continue"

"By the way Will you almost havn't said single word today" said Irma noticing that Will is looking in her cup with empty sight.

"What?, Sorry I thought about something else" Replied Will and tried to force smile upon her.

Are you okay, you are acting bit weird today

Yes all is fine, I just have not had good opportunity to take good sleep and feel bit tired.

Ookay

Suddenly conversation is interrupted by crier: "Now I would like to give word to Meridians army commander Drake, he would like to say his speech on this joyful day."

Will took drink from cup and stood up from table" Excuse me, I think I will be going for today, I don't feel too good."

"Whats with you? " Cornelia asked.

"Don't worry ,just something I ate or too much vine, I will be fine" Will replied.

"You sure, Should I go with you and you hardly touched your food?" Matt asked.

"No, no need, I am fine I can portal myself perfectly"

"You sure"

"Positively"

All who sat at table made their goodbyes and let her go. After she was gone Matt asked:

"Anyone else noticing that Will is acting weird lately."

"Ye I guess, she is more silent than usual, I think she is just tired." Cornelia notes.

"You think that's all?"

"Doubt it, we should really talk to her tomorrow", Taranee coments

"All of us?"

"Well not necessary"

"With that all you said I am starting to worry about her too, I will visit her first thing in the morning", Cornelia replies.
