Now here's Chapter 13! This shows how exactly her goodbye to Antauri turned out and how the Alchemist gave her the good part of his soul before he became Skeleton King!
Chapter 13
Goodbye Antauri
Elana's P.O.V.
I looked at everyone as father told everyone what he would do in a few days. It's been almost two weeks since he was corrupted and he's been getting worse. He won't last much longer. Thankfully, he's finished all the upgrades, so he only has to worry about the memory wipe, then getting them far enough away from this place.
He told me that after he wipes everyone's memories, he's going to put them inside the Super Robot. Then he'll take the robot to the outskirts of the city for them to awaken. After that, he has something he wanted to give to me before I left. I just wish that I didn't have to say goodbye to Antauri. Especially, since I need to tell him my feelings for him, and the secret that I've hidden from him.
I saw Antauri watch me leave. I saw the sadness in his eyes when he heard what would happen. I know that we never see each other again, but it doesn't matter to me. As long as he is safe, and I'll be able to protect him in some way, then that is enough for me. I just hope that it will be a peaceful meeting the next time that we meet, but I doubt it.
I went into my ship that I received from father. I put all of my personal belongings inside the ship. Then I looked into the secret compartment and saw the test tube with a piece of the Dark One that attacked father and all the books that I received from Gibson and Antauri. I took out a journal with different shades of purple with a picture of me and Antauri holding each other in the other's arm and smiling with both of us blushing, me blushing the most. It was one the first gifts that Antauri ever gave me and I treasure it dearly.
Father told me that my ship attaches to the Super Robot. Inside the robot, one of the tubes and rooms will be closed off until I decided that it was the right time to join the team. I just wish that I didn't have to say goodbye, especially to Antauri.
As everyone went into the stasis tubes, I reached out to Antauri's mind. I knew that it was a fools hope, but I did it anyways. 'Antauri...please don't forget about me.' He seemed to hear me and answered back with a smile. ' Don't worry Elana, memories can be forgotten or sealed, but the feelings tied to them never do. So one day, I will fully remember you Elana. So until then, I'll settle for feeling of knowing you from somewhere. We will meet again someday Elana, I can promise you that much.'
I smiled gratefully as I felt tears coming down and I knew that Antauri could see them as I watched the tubes activated and completed the memory wipe. Then father put them inside the Super Robot and set the coordinates for the outskirts of the city. Then father gave me a tube telling me he put the good part of his soul in it and to hurry out and away from this place as fast as I could. I put it inside my ship's secret compartment and took off with extra speed, which wasn't easy in my current condition. Thankfully, I was able to make it out of there and headed towards Varon Temple on Kolorado to continue practicing enough to where I can release large amounts of energy for longer periods of time and where my child can grow up safely until they decide that it's time for them to go off on their own.
