Chapter 1: Placing Back the Sabres, Return to the Living

(Maya's POV)

I saw the Galactabeasts growl softly and told us to follow them. We did. They led us to what looked like a village carved out of stone. Some of the statues were covered in plants and ivy. I removed the ivy that covered the nearest statue and I gasped in shock at what I saw,

"Jera!" I looked to the others. I realised where we were, "You guys, we're on Mirinoi." We all walked over to the boulder that the sabres go into, until the next warriors are chosen. I removed the bramble that has overgrown it and I unsheathed my Quasar Sabre, saying,

"Our journey is complete. Now that the danger is gone, the next set of chosen warriors will have to do their duty to protect, when it's time." I put my sabre in the stone and everyone did the same. Mike, then looked to Leo's sabre,

"Little brother, I'm gonna miss you. May you watch us in the afterlife." And he put back the fifth sabre. Suddenly, light started to emit from the sabres, bringing everything back to normal. I looked to Jera,

"Maya!?" He exclaimed,

"Jera!" And I hugged him, glad that he's back. Mike then started to hear something,

"Guys, look." We all looked at the totem, to see Kendrix standing there. Oh no. She came back at the worst possible time! With Leo dead and her coming back, god knows what will happen, but I ran over to hug her,

"Kendrix! I missed you so much!",

"I missed you too." She turned to Krone,

"And thanks for taking place." They shook hands,

"It was honour helping your friends." She looked around, she could see Damon, Krone, me, Kai, Mike, but she she someone was missing, someone she held close to her heart. Oh brother, our celebration will be cut short, very short,

"Where's Leo?" No one answered. We all shuffled on our feet uneasily,

"Where is Leo!?" She asked again, but this time, her voice grew even more demanding. I bit my lip,

"Kendrix, we need to talk." And her face fell with mortification. She's gonna hate us.
