Summery: Kalas has rejoined the group. Before they set off on their journey together again, they rest for the night. This is about Xelha's thoughts.

He's back! Our plan worked! It took so long to do, but it worked! Well…not everything worked out, but the most important thing did! He's back with us! I'm so happy. It wasn't the same without him. And, as much as I enjoyed Martel's presence, she's not my Spirit Guardian. She's his. And now that she's back with him, everything seems so much more normal! Like nothing so terrible ever happened. Its such a wonderful feeling, knowing he's back. Knowing he's okay.
Because we invite the peace and tranquility from afar,
It looks like we will have to travel a bit further
Only holding your hand, we cross the freezing night
But…even though we have Kalas back with us, not everything is going so well. The Ocean Mirror…its broken. Shattered. It won't work anymore. I didn't think we'd get anything from Wazn, and what we did, is now broken. I can't believe I was so careless, to let it be broken. But it is, all because of me. How could I let such a thing happen? All I cared about was having Kalas back with us, and because of that, the Mirror is broken.
Because we met when you were hurt with your head hung low
And if the pain can go away, you can let go;
Because on the dirtied water, there is a beautiful reflection of the moon
Seeing Kalas on his knees before us, begging our forgiveness and our help, my heart simply melted. I honestly wanted to rush over and hug him, and tell him we'd always help him. But, I held myself back and instead presented him with his winglet again. He seemed genuinely happy to have it back. His smile again melted my heart, and I could feel my face go red. But I don't think he noticed that.
That is the story told by pain
Still hesitant to call it love
How long will the nearing star
Show me your dreams in the frozen night
It feels good to be back as a full group. Everything is so much nicer now. It was so…strange when we were all separated. With time along to dwell on our thoughts, it was lonely. But now, it's the complete opposite. Its brighter now. We all feel so much happier now that we're all together again. I think its because we didn't give up on Kalas. We pressed on and we succeeded. What a feeling of accomplishment that gives us!
Here, drawing in memories, unable to keep the gifts
Given from the deep warmth of the blue that is sky
Sharing something, and throwing away something
I think that this whole episode that happened actually strengthened not only our bonds of friendship, but our bonds of trust. By seeing that one who is taken by the darkness come back to the light, it just goes to show that it is possible for us to make mistakes, and to correct them. I think Kalas knows he can trust us fully, and I think we can trust him completely too. We're always going to make mistakes, but we can always go back and correct them. It is a fact of life.
Like this, together we journey to
The distant frozen sky, somehow believing;
Because, closer than anyone, further than anywhere,
Your dreams won't disappear from memory
Tomorrow we re-start our journey. Tomorrow, will mark the beginning of the end of Melodia's tyrannical rule. Tomorrow, everything will begin to draw to a close. And soon after that…the Ocean must be returned to the world. That time too, draws near. Its all so nerve-wracking, but surely in the end, it will all work out. We're all together again, we aren't alone anymore. Together, I'm sure we can make it!
That is the story told of pain
Still hesitating to call it love
Because, in the frozen night, in the nearing stars,
I still want only to see your dreams
That was actually pretty hard x.x Really, it was. It coulda been better I think, but I've just finished a huge civics project like and hour ago, and I'm beat from working on it. But, anyway, hopefully the next one will be better.
Reviewer Responses
personsama: Yes, I thought it went well. I'm glad you think so too. Nope…never even heard of that book o.o Is it good? If it is, I'll go rent it from the library.
Karina Gomez:XP I know. Geldoblame's an idiot in my opinion. I know. She's so annoying x.x When I first saw here in Mira I was like "OMG! She's evil! She's got the same voice as the girl who does that thing after each End Magnus which means they must be the same person!" LoL yeah, she kinda struck me as obsessed with him in the game.
Luv2Game:No, I don't like her much either, but for some reason, I like writing about the bad guys. Most of them tend to turn out rather well. I liked most of the voices. Folon started to annoy me after a while, as did Melodia. Otherwise, they were all pretty cool.
