Chapter 21
"Thanks Nyra." Arison said, setting the new pair of glasses on his head. That was never going to seem normal to say, but at least he had been there when Nyra and Nyroc were born, causing him to be less shocked than Pelli. "When my last pair broke I was kind of worried." He decided not to mention his sister had been the one who broke said last pair. It hadn't really been her anyway. Arison couldn't place it, but something had definetly been off with her, especially in the eyes.
Nyra waved her wing dismissively. "It's nothing."
Nyroc meanwhile tilted his head and looked at Arison almost suspiciously. "So where did you come from anyway? There's nothing back there." He waved a wing at the door they had come from. The room on the other side held the portal, but there was no normal exit from it.
Pelli replied, "We came from the future." She looked like she was still in shock, which might explain the blunt answer.
Nyra gasped with excitement. "That's so cool! You came all the way from the future for a pair of glasses?"
At the same time Nyroc's eyes grew wide. "What's it like there?"
"Well unfortunatly, there're no Others there." They all turned around at the new voice. Trader Mags was standing there with Soren. Soren seemed surprised to see his mate and Arison there, but he was doing a good job not showing it.
Trader Mags continued. "That's why I'm here."
Nyroc's look darkened for a moment. "'Unfortunatly?'" He repeated. "Others are a bad thing, there's nothing unfortunate about it if they're gone."
Trader Mags gave him an angry glare. "What did you just say?" She asked. She moved forward.
Pelli and Arison slipped over to Soren. "Is the battle over?" Arison asked.
Soren nodded. "Voldemort is dead. And even if he wasn't the Pure Ones were losing anyway." He paused, looking over at Nyra, Nyroc, and Trader Mags. It seemed like their argument wasn't going to last long, it was already coming to an end.
"Ready to get back?" Soren asked.
Pelli nodded. "Let's get out of here."
The three headed back to the portal. "Bye guys!" Nyra called out.
Soren held out his wing in fair well, then he stepped through the portal after the other two and back to their time.
