The brotherhood flew through the night
It had taken them weeks to travel across countries and oceans to get to the Crimson Claws, but on the back of an adult dragon it had taken but a few hours to return to the Sadida kingdom.
The trip back had been quiet; everyone had spent the majority of their energy in he fight against the Shushus, leaving them weak and exhausted. The twins, both injured and depleted of most of their Wakfu, had long since been wrapped in Dally's cloak and laid down to rest, while the other four members had taken to conversing near the end of the dragon's back.
"-And he was totally surprised!" The Iop exclaimed as he waved his arms in a bizarre set motions, hoping to replicate the fight. "There was no way he could've escaped master Goultard's grip. Just like that, Rushu was forced back into his dimension!" They had been doing this for the past couple of hours; telling stories of their childhood, old masters, and recent events that they had experienced exclusively.
"Yes, I remember some of that." Evangelyne piped in. "What happened after that?"
A few awkward moments passed before the Iop sighed, face drooping. "I'm not sure. I can't tell if he's still in the Shushu world or if he's wiggled his way back here."
The Sadida princess, who had stayed silent for the action packed story, began to speak. "If your master can take down the king of Shushus, he should be fine with a bunch of smaller ones."
"He isn't the Iop god for nothing, right?" Ruel added, "By the time you're my age you'll stop worrying over the little things."
"By the time I reach your age, I'll already be six feet under!"
A hushed veil of laughter fell over the four as they did their best to contain the small giggles erupting in their throats. They didn't want to deal with a tired, injured Yugo, and they defiantly didn't want to deal with a grumpy and over protective Adamaï. Said twins were resting between Amalia and Tristepin, snuggled together under the knight's cloak with Az curled up between them. Between the heat of Phaeris' scales and their makeshift blanket, the two were perfectly content flying hundreds of feet off the ground.
"They must be exhausted." The Cra said in a hushed tone as she looked at them fondly. For two thirteen year olds to save the world – not once, but twice –was both amazing and terrifying. A child shouldn't have to go through the ordeal of being betrayed and beaten to a pulp, and she shouldn't have to worry about a child rushing into a battle with no plan and no backup.
Children shouldn't have to go to war.
A hand rested on her shoulder, careful not to touch the area that had been injured and hastily tended to when the fight ended. She looked up to find Tristepin looking at her with a sympathetic smile.
"They're going to be fine, Eva. When we get back to Sadida, we can have the Eniripsas fix them up with their magic!"
She wasn't sure what to say, so she only smiled. He was right, both Yugo and Adamaï had come out of other scraps just fine. Why would this time be any different?
Pushing down the bubble of worry that lingered in her mind, she looked down and saw an abundance of trees she'd never be able to identify. "Speaking of which, Amalia, can you recognize where we are?"
The Sadida girl looked out into the distance, paying no mind to the sun that had started to rise in the east. She carefully looked at every detail of the foliage on the ground, checking for anything that looked familiar.
"Oh! I can see a cluster of villages, so the tree of life should be..." the princess trailed off as she squinted into the distance. Unlike Cras, the Sadidas were not blessed with enhanced sight. If Evangelyne had known the area as well as Amalia, she'd be the one checking for any familiar sights.
"There, I can see it! We're almost back to Sadida!" Sleepy, but filled with glee, the girl smiled at the idea of seeing her father after such a long and hard journey.
Evangelyne took in a final glance of the sleeping twins before turning to Tristepin and landing a gentle kiss on his cheek.
They were home.
