Resurrection
God Of Power, Princess Caelestia, Auron and Mallad made their way out of the royal room and walked through another divine build and decorated passage. After a few minutes they approached another door, also guarded by two paladins with spears and also straightened themselves up as well and the group entered the room. The room looked like some kind of ceremonial hall with a decorated altar in the middle and who lied on it...The priest! He lied lifelessly on the altar, though no more as undead, but reverted back in to his human form.
Totally astonished Auron run forward the altar to his father. He was sadly looking at fathers lifeless body with his eyes closed, arms based and there was seen a hole in his robe and stab wound after Auron impaled him. Heartbroken, tears burst into Aurons eyes again and he gently but tightly pressed his hand, mourning for his father death. Prince Caelest and Princess Celestia came to paladin to sharing his grief over the loos of his adoptive father, who once saved his life, whom he was upbringing and raising with love and care and whom he loved more than anything else in the world, and so Mallad did.
Though Auron mourned over death of his beloved father with his heart full of sadness and grief, Prince Caelest once again comforted the hero, do not despair, do not giving up and the gently assured him, that there is always a hope in life. Princess Caelstia then gently instructed and recommended Auron to pull Sword Of Ages out, put right on the priest and she told him, that Sword Of Ages has an unique ability to "resurrect" deceased being, when someone really wishes it full by the persons heart. There would be then still a chance to save Aurons father yet.
Quite unsure hero, was just astonished looking at divine couple, than he looked to Mallad and crow had just ensured and encouraged him to do so. Auron then listened to Prince Caelest, Princess Caelestia and Mallads advice, pull Sword Of Ages out, carefully put it right on priests body, put his hand on its blade, closed its eyes and concentrating himself. In the moment the sword started glowing by immense holy light, which radiated the priests body and also the entire room and it was so blinding, that Caelest, Cealestia and Mallad had to cover their eyes.
After a while, when the light faded and after few moments by that, Auron just could not believe his own eyes to his shock...Because, priests hand started slightly moving, his wound in torso like miraculously healed and closed itself and the old man could breath once again, hardly gasped for air and slightly opened his eyes. Auron thought that he is just dreaming, but then he had absolutely out of joy and happiness, crying happily he hug his father tightly. Though priest, still slightly gasping for air was also totally shocked that he "lives", but also very happy to see Auron, his son health and alive again, hugging him as well happily. Auron and priest were hugging and reuniting themselves happily, as father and son, meanwhile Prince Caelest, Princess Caelestia and Mallad standing aside were watching with satisfaction, though a tears slightly burst in to sensitive Mallads eyes. Auron and priest had a lot to talk about, though Auron still a bit remorseful deeply apologized his father he had "kill" him as undead in battle with Death Lord. However, good natured and forgiving priest comforted his son gently and assured him, that he has absolutely nothing to be sorry or apologize about. In the contrary, he even said that he is proud for ham and that he had done a good thing. Besides, after he perished by Aurons hand (unintentional), the priest had seen a white light on the end of the tunnel, he was pulled in and met and reunited with some of his deceased relatives and then some kind of strange but relaxing force usurped the old man and he heard some kind of another voice in the distance. But before that amazing experience could go any further, the priest was suddenly pulled back by some kind of force, that actually brought him back to his body. Actually when Auron resurrected him with Sword Of Ages. Auron sighed with relief that his father was "okay" hug his father again, and the old man returned a hug to his son.
In the moment after a nice and happy reunion, Prince Caelest, Mallad sitting now on prince shoulder and Princess Caelestia approached the couple and God Of Power himself challenged the priest to stand forward him. The old man, quite shocked, but also astonished of seeing a divine, god like being, stood up of the altar, stand in front of Prince Caelest and bowed with respect to him. Prince Caelest only smiled and stated, that priest showed remarkable courage, honour and determination of saving Auron, raising him with love and care, training him to be a warrior and encouraging him to fulfil his destiny and for that, he had decided to endow the priest with a special gift.
So, the divine prince rose up and aimed his golden holy spear right on priest, and he send a glowing stream of holy energy from his weapon to old man, who was quite astonished absorbed by immense glow of light in the moment, actually somewhat the same way like Auron was. Shocked and afraid of his father, Auron tried to stand for, though Princess Calestia held the hero and gently assured him, that he has absolutely nothing to fear of and that everything will be just fine.
When the glowing faded, the old man looked like somewhat..."different". He was much younger now, under 20 years actually, his hair and beard got blue, just like to Auron and his old, tattered robes transformed in to new, beautiful divine like designed ones. Astonished by his new appearance and so Auron was, Prince Caelest explained, that as he had just endowed Auron with a holy power once, he also endowed "the priest" by holy power now, and that also with a rejuvenating and "supernaturally increased life span".
Prince Caelest and Princess Caelestia then asked absolutely astonished priest and Auron as well once again, to stay and live here with them in Caelest Empire, that Auron would be its protector and guardian, the priest would be royal advisor and secretary and Mallad...as Aurons "sidekick". Auron, the priest and Mallad closed up, whispering and speculating for a while.
Eventually, Auron stood up in front of royal siblings and stated for all, for priest, crow and himself, that agree to their offer. Prince Caelest and Princess Caelestia only smiled and then proclaimed they got to make the ceremonial ready, so they got to leave, besides Auron and his father would be appreciate to be alone for a while, well including Mallad as well, they go lot of to talk about and royal divine prince and princess left the room.
