NOTE: I''ve made references to the final fantasy 13 and 10 in this chapter.
As Kiera drifted slowly into a deep sleep, someone rushed in and made Kiera to make a scare jump. She look at Will rushing in the throne room, followed by Nick who was screaming after him to stop.
Will: Kiera, I'm here to save you! Caius unleashed a sword from his left hip and took a fight pose.
Caius: Stay apart!
Will: Oa! Men, y-you misunderstood me-
Nick: He's...With... me..
Said Nick gasping for air, he never knew Will was faster than him, he thought he was better, oh, he needed some rest.
Caius withdraw his sword and looked at Kiera.
Caius: I assume that they are your friends, your majesty.
Kiera: Yes, they are!
Kiera ran in Nick's arms and hugged him tight, he's skin was as soft as always and his heart belated softly behind his warm chest. Nick blushed, he didn't expect this to happen in public.
Nick: Ki-Kiera, not now...
He slowly impelled Kiera away from his chest and lowered his head blushing, this felt strange happening in public.
Will: Awww... That's sa sweet!
Said Will whit a cute voice tilting his hand on a side smiling sweet at Nick's red face. Nick felt uncomfortable and summoned his wings and hide himself behind them.
Caius: It wasn't.
Kurtis: I'm to late?
Kiera: Father! How did you-
Kurtis: Long story, you don't want to know. We have to return.
Caius: You can't go.
Kiera: That's right, I'm here to...
Why was she here anyway? She never thought, all she did was to sleep for a short time, she was exachusted. Now that she thinks at it more deeply, she wad the Warrior, her destiny: Save the Lux Veritatis, kill the nephilims and return home. She sighed.
Kurtis: Oh... That's right... You are tangled from it...
He aproched the window and looked at the night sky, there were not millions but billions of stars on Atlantis's sky and the moon was nothing but a small circle on in.
Nick uncovered hid face from the wings and looked at Kiera, Kurtis was right, she was tangled from the prophecy, he was there too, they all were. He parched Kiera and kissed her hot check, she was the one now to become red, but none was looking at them.
Nick: It that day, you know...
He whispered in her ear.
" I know, but what can I do?" Kiera's voice rang in Nick's head. "Nothing, but see what's happening." he responded back.
Kurtis: I'm going to put Will at his place and bring your mother, you''ll be fine tomorrow?
Kiera: Yeah, i'll be father.
Kurtis: Sure?
Kiera: I have Nick, I'm allright, he's an angel.
Kurtis: Yeah... But try to be carefull.
Even if Nick was an angel, Kurtis didn't trust him, he was a boy after all and Kieran was his daughter, if he done something to her, he would kill him, angel or not. The periapt shards sure will have effect on him, not only on nephilims.

Kiera: The other Kiera was for sure one hel of a drug!
Kiera exlamed looking at her reflection, who was wearing a long black dress whit golden laces, that was actually the spirit who was in her, instead she had an armor and a red cloak over the shiny and tighten armor.
Nick: Not as pretty as you, thought.
Nick said coming in the front of the mirror, he was covered by a golden aura and his clothes were blue, but he never looked like that.
Nick: I hate this mirror!
Kiera: Why?
Nick: It makes me look like a loser.
Caius: It's the portal to Deborah, it shows the truth in our souls, who we truly are.
Caius reflection was Gaius Ballad, now you know where his name comes from.
Lara: Seems a bit strange.
Said Lara looking at her reflection that matched perfectly Lightning Farron.
Kurtis: I find it awesome.
Kurtis looked at his reflection in the mirror, he looked like Tidus.
Caius: You have to be here till the end of the eclipse, or you'll be blocked in Deborah for 100 years.
Kiera: How much the eclipse will stay?
Caius: About 30 days.
Nick: Then we have to put an end to this madness really fast.
Caius: Indeed.
Kiera looked at her parents, they won't come with her, the ones coming with her are Nick and Caius.
Kiera: Mom, dad, careful not to make something explode.
Kurtis: Not to worry, i'll take care!
Lara: Kurtis!
Kiera rolled over her head her eyes, smiled waved and entered the portal after her friends.
Kurtis: They grow so fast...
Lara: Stop with the drama and let's find something to do!
Kurtis: Fine, fine.

As Kiera stand with her foots on the bright green vegetation, she looked around, there was luxuriant vegetation and the sky was a violet to pink nuances whit dark blue strands on it. There were two suns, a biger one which was red and the other one was smaller and was air was cold but the climate was hot, maybe because of the air and light the trees were so tall and the plants larger than normal.
She looked behind her, there wasn't the mirror anymore but a stone wall with red runic symbols carved in it.
Nick: Here, Kiz!
Kieran looked on her left side and came next to her boyfriend. She looked at the fortress which was far away in the mountains.
Kiera: That's... Normal, I guess Caius: Not really. Nick: How much it takes from here to there?
Caius: 10 days. If we have luck, we my finish it faster, the nephiIi lands rotate themselves, so we may make only 5 days.
Kiera: What a fucked up theory.
Caius: Yeah, but it's great in times of war.
So they started their patch, they knew it will be a long way, but they had to destroy the monsters and their lider.
As they continued the jungle was moving to the left and to the right, to ups and downs, it was changing once at 2 hours.
They never knew, but all this time Anhareta was watching them from behind she wanted to destroy her father as much as those three wanted to kill her subjects, she would help them, she was assuring that her father wouldn't find their traces, this was the resonance she was following them.
