That evening things were getting worst for Shion, the best healers he hired couldn't determine the cause of the continuing pain Arkhes is going and it sends him to a state of panic. But what one of them could determine is the source came from the teen's torso. If Shion would have found a doctor they'll discover the cause but the only one he could find was cities away from the nearest village.

Inside such small room all tried their best lessening the strange symptoms but the boy still suffer. Shion has never felt so helpless as he watches the unnerving scene before him and regretted of not sending a note back to Ava the moment the boy stepped foot. If a terrible thing happen on Arkhes then he'll be weighted by the guilt and sorrow.

But he thought of something so simple and fast he couldn't understand why he didn't notice it before, teleportation. He could go over the other side and find the boy's mother.

Before he could give his words of the quick departure a guard arrived breathing rapidly from the steps he took to get here.

"Something the matter?" The Aries spoke.

"Sir..." the man had to take in the air to properly speak, "there's a woman in the entrance demanding to see you this instant, we ask her to leave but she seem to know you."

Who could this person be?

Looking back Shion couldn't leave Arkhes struggling to overcome the strange pain. Whoever she is sure came at the wrong time.

"Alright I'll go but make sure he gets the attention necessary until I return."

"Will do." The guard nod while the leader left to deal with the stranger.

All the way to the lower level another guard stands at the entrance using a spear to block the empty space his partner left behind to deliver the news. He had no idea why a seemly young woman and a boy wanted to see the pope. The guard may believe they are a secret family from the Aries.

Minutes into the awkward silence between the three someone mysteriously came from the side of a tree, it was the pope. The two pairs cover their heads using the hood they wore.

"Sir these two demand to see you but I don't trust them."

Shion also agreed with man as the two figures in front of him were covered in a dark brown hooded cape. The sun had started to set making the identities hard to notice if one of the two decide to show themselves.

"What reasons have you come here for?"

Soon when the woman reveal her hands the Aries was ready to attack. She pulls the hood in the back of her head and now stood the person he never expected to come all the way.

Aside from the long red hair her hazel eyes was what stands out and he know well that only one person has eyes like such. He was frozen after realizing who she is, if this was a dream he would have woken up but it was real and in front of him. Despite her new look it made her more appealing than before.

The guard saw the weird behavior from his leader.

"Don't worry sir I'll escort them out quickly-"

"NO...I mean..." Shion scared the three from his loud response and breathe in the cool air to relax, "they are coming with me for a meeting. You can resume your duty."

With a slight nod the guard walked away from the small group giving them time to talk in private.

"Thank you, if you didn't recognized me we would have been rejected." She pulled the hood forward to shroud her face from curious onlookers.

"...I alway remember those eyes."

Ava was taken back of his words and it reminded her that he too had a liking to her years ago. Her son was confused of what the man meant.

"I-I-I see, but please tell me if my son came here. I've been sicken of things that can harm him and I had to use my cosmos to track him in this country." A small stream from her left eye shine with the moon and quickly she began to sob. "He could have k-killed himself, I couldn't sleep well and It hurts so much that he was selfish to do something like this to me."

She cries after her tearful words, seeing her suffering Shion was sadden of how she went through such torture of her son running away from her and ended up here. More so, she spent years raising them by herself without a person to help her and paid attention to her.

She was right, Arkhes should have been grateful for her but he was foolish to get himself in dangerous environments. It was a miracle that the boy even came here safe and sound.

"Mother..." the Aries saw the young man possibly the brother trying to calm her but she continues.

Since the boy couldn't stop her Shion had a feeling inside telling him to take his chance. Quickly he walked and with arms open he hugged her like if it was the last.

Ava was shocked but she didn't pull away for the warmth took her back when a special person once did the same.

"He's here."

"Take me to him!" She looks up desperately.

I'll get back to the comments and PMs.
