Aurore's Moemon Adventure
Chapter 55
"Aurore!" Rin exclaimed, running over to Aurore's side. She pressed her hands down on his chest, desperate to help him. Suddenly, her hands began glowing with a whitish orange light. Aurore's chest began shining, and the wound slowly sealed up, fully healed.
"I'm… Alive…" Aurore gasped out, sitting up.
"Aurore…" Sakura said, wiping her eyes. "You're alive…"
"Of course I'm alive." Aurore said, standing up, smiling. "After all, I'm immortal, remember?"
"It's really him…" Yuni sighed in relief, smiling. "I can see Aurore in his mind now, instead of Reaper…"
"Oh, boy, my head…" Aurore said, holding his head. Suddenly, Rin hugged him, rubbing her teary eyes on his leg.
"I was so worried…" Rin cried into his leg. "You… You were… You were…"
"We were all worried." Sakura said, hugging Aurore against her. "But there's someone else you have to see, isn't there?"
"…Sora…" Aurore said, frowning. He slipped from Sakura and Rin's grasp and headed upstairs.
"Master?" Bluebell asked, shocked at Aurore running past her.
"Aurore?" Lulu asked, equally shocked.
"Good to be back!" Aurore said, running up the stairs.
"Was that…" Oshawott said, walking into the room, frowning.
"Aurore." Lulu said, smiling happily. "He managed to free himself. Sakura won."
"How do you know?" Gina asked, frowning.
"I can see him…" Lulu said, hugging her body, her face flushed. "Such a beautiful aura, like nothing I've ever seen before… For the first time since I've met him, he's free of any darkness…"
"Master…" Sora said, wiping tears from her eyes. She was curled up at the end of the hallway, crying.
Does it hurt? A voice whispered into her brain. The pain… The sadness… I can remove it all… Just give in to the darkness…
"Master…" Sora said, about to surrender herself completely. However, a hand grabbed her shoulder, and suddenly all the dark thoughts in her mind shattered away into nothingness.
"Master…" Sora said, turning to Aurore, staring up at him, joy filling her body with more warmth than she'd ever felt in her life.
"Sorry I was so late." Aurore said, smiling, hugging Sora. "Still, I made it back to you."
"Master…" Sora said, crying into Aurore's shirt. She hugged him and continued to hug him for what seemed like hours.
"We… We need to tell everybody!" Sora said suddenly, pulling herself away from Aurore. "They've been so worried about you!"
"Yeah, you're right." Aurore said, smiling. "You know, this is the first time that I've ever felt so… Free."
They headed downstairs, where the group had gathered together.
"Aurore!" Rin said, running over to Aurore, hugging him.
"Hey…" Aurore said, smiling. "It's good to be back…"
"So, you managed to free yourself from Reaper, huh?" Lulu teased, walking up to Aurore, smirking.
"Yeah, but that ghost that's making you short seems to still be in your body." Aurore said, smirking. "Want me to beat it out?"
"…Good to have you back, Aurore." Lulu said, smiling, hugging Aurore.
"Master!" Bluebell exclaimed, jumping on top of Aurore, hugging and kissing him repeatedly.
"Alright, enough of that." Oshawott said, frowning, pulling Bluebell off of him. She struggled against her grasp, trying to grab Aurore again.
"I'm happy for you, Sora." Sakura said, walking up to Sora, smiling. She petted Sora's head, Sora smiling happily.
…
"Damn it!" Sakura said, pulling back her hand, which was searing with pain.
"Owie…" Sora cried, holding on to her head, which was throbbing with pain as well.
This didn't go unnoticed by Sephiria, who looked at Sakura and Sora, frowning.
"What is up with you two?" Aurore asked, frowning.
"Oh, it's nothing." Sakura said, smiling. "Anyways, Aurore's back! Let's party!"
"And with that, we no longer have any reason to be here." Alder said, smiling.
"What?" Gina asked, shocked. "But we still haven't figured out any of this weird Reaper crap!"
"The Reinhart Family would like to express our deepest regards for your patience." Sephiria said, smiling a cheerful saleswoman smile, gesturing for the two to politely leave the building. "If we need your help, we will send a car to pick you up."
"Wow, Sephy is pretty amazing…" Sora said, smiling admiringly.
"Meh." Lulu said, frowning. "She's still an irritating jerk."
"Oh, Aurore, you're back…" Litwick said, sticking her head down from the ceiling. Her body slipped through, and she landed on the ground, smiling lazily.
"Litwick." Aurore said, smiling.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Sakura asked, frowning. "I mean, Aurore was freed from Reaper, so does that mean everything's alright?"
"I'm not sure…" Sephiria said, frowning. "The prophecies didn't say anything about what would happen after Reaper was sealed."
"Prophecies?" Sakura and Lulu asked, shocked. "What prophecies?"
"Micah…" Sephiria said, turning to Micah, frowning. "We have to go back. Back to the Tower of Prophecy."
"Tower of Prophecy?" Aurore asked.
"The family never told you." Sephiria said, frowning. "Everything that has happened and is going to happen has been written and is being written within a great tower. That tower is known as the Tower of Prophecy."
"…Take me there." Aurore said, frowning. "Destiny has been pulling me around for far too long. Now it's about time that I wrote my own destiny for a change."
So, will Aurore succeed in writing his own destiny? Let's find out!
