Author's note: Just so you guys know I know how the story goes I've read it
at least 200 times but this isn't an exact story of EQ because if you
remember Alex is now in it. She changes everything. But the thing is after
chapter 14 she starts forgetting the story and she has actually become part
of the book. Now there is no such thing as EQ comics and the stories are
now reality. Alex like I said before isn't a Mary-Sue, she has more faults
than a Mary-Sue does. And now that she is home, the wolfriders welcome
home.
Chapter 15: Finally Home
Alex sat down and took her knife from its sheath and started to cut her dress. She cut the cloth under her breast so that it hung down 3 and a half inches above her belly button. And she cut the bottom of the dress from the hips into 2 triangles to cover her front and back. And the point of the triangles reached just below her knees. She made a belt and tied the two triangles together with the remaining cloth.
She now felt better and was glad that she wasn't wearing that horrid dress. Her shoes were white and reached a little above the ankle. And she had taken off the feathers from her top and tried them to her belt so they hung down over the black cloth. And she tied 4 of the remaining feathers into her hair (two on each side). They hung down from her hair in front of her ears.
Cutter and Skywise stared at her when she finished and was standing and looking at her new clothes.
"Much, much better." Alex whispered and smiled at Petal Wing who was on her shoulder in the shade of Alex's hair.
Alex laughed a little when Petal Wing squeaked from the heat. "Your not used to this heat are you Peat Wing?" Alex asked. Petal Wing shook it's head.
"Who is? I mean I'm going to have to get used to it." Skywise said. Alex was standing there with her hair down her back and over her shoulder smiling. "I got used to it when I first set foot on this ground. I love it!" Alex said smiling and twirling around with her arms stretched out.
"You're crazy then. I don't know how the sun folk got used to it either. It's so hot out here. At least in the forest it was cooler. Here it's like you're in a fire and can't get out." Cutter said.
"Well, we're almost home. And I'm ready to get attacked by Strongbow and the others for leading you into danger, so let's go." Alex said slowly getting onto Midnights back. Cutter and Skywise looked at each other and then stood up and got on their wolf friends. Then they started toward the mountain range again.
Back in the sun village everyone was sitting in the cool caves and resting. When they heard a scream from the village. Clearbrook went running out of the caves to see what happened. Jayra was running toward her with Cori close behind.
"Clearbrook! Clearbrook! Miss Alex is home!! She's coming home! She's coming! They're safe!" Jayra screamed at the top of her lungs.
Clearbrook looked at her and bent down to look the two children in the eyes. "Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yes, ma'am. She's on her way now. She's in the desert. With Cutter and the sky gazer. They are almost home!" Cori said smiling.
When he said that he saw Strongbow and a few of the other wolfriders peak out of the cave. Cori got scared and hid behind Clearbrook away from Strongbow's glare.
"See wolfriders, they are almost home. In the desert, coming back to us." Clearbrook said looking behind her and seeing the others. "Do you speak the truth young one? How do you know where they are?" Treestump asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I know she's coming home. I have always know certain things, Mr." Jayra said with a big smile. "Yea, we can both do special things. That's one reason why we were banned from our home. Because they thought we were cursed or something." Cori said.
"Let's check it out." Pike said running to the mountain. Some of the wolfriders followed close behind.
Alex gripped Midnight's fur. He stopped and listened, as did Alex. Cutter and Skywise saw that she stopped and they stopped to find out what was wrong. "Listen." Was all she said.
They all listened for a minute and heard a loud scream. Alex smiled. She knew who it came from. "They know we're home!" Alex said smiling and looked down at Midnight. Who looked at her and then immediately ran for the mountain. Skywise and Cutter were to close together for Midnight to run past them so Alex knew what he was going to do and she held a little tighter to his fur.
Midnight jumped over Nightrunner and Starjumper and ran for the mountain without stopping. Skywise and Cutter looked at each other then down at their wolf friends and ran after Alex and midnight.
"ALEX WAIT UP!" Skywise yelled.
Petal Wing Smiled and stuck its tongue out at the others. Then it in the air flew up and followed Midnight close behind. "Petal Wing happy! Get to be in presence of more soft pretty high things!" It yelled.
Alex smiled and looked behind her. Cutter and Skywise had finally caught up. "It's about time." She sent.
"Clearbrook! We're home!" She sent to her friend. "Thank the High Ones! You're back! We were getting worried!" Clearbrook sent to her.
Alex, Cutter and Skywise went easily up to the top of the mountain on their wolf friends backs. When they got to the top, Cutter was attacked by Pike and Dewshine. Skywise was attacked by Nightfall and Scouter. Alex sat on Midnight and smiled at the welcome that her brother got from his tribe.
After everyone welcomed Skywise and Cutter back, Clearbrook looked over at Alex and smiled. She then went over to her and they hugged. Alex got off of Midnight and looked around at the staring wolfriders. She looked down as if to ignore them and smiled when she heard a scream.
Jayra and Cori were running up the mountain as fast as they could to greet Alex. "Miss Alex!!! Miss Alex, you're home!!!" Jayra yelled. Alex knelt down on one knee and held out her arms. They ran to her and almost knocked her backwards with a big hug. "I see you're glad to see me." Alex said pulling them out of the hug. Cori nodded and Jayra began to talk fast than anyone Alex had ever seen.
"Miss Alex guess what!! We have our own wolves now! Clearbrooks wolfriend had cubs while you were gone! Me and Cori have our own friends now! We can ride with you now! Mine is Little Stream and Cori's is Bitter Shout!!!! Wanna see them?? HUH?? HUH??? CAN WE SHOW YOU?????" Jayra stopped and took a breath.
"OK! Jayra, calm down. Yes I want to see them, but wait for a while ok." Alex said laughing at Jayra a little for talking so much. Jayra smiled and Cori pulled on Alex's arm.
"Miss Alex? While you were gone we heard stories about someone named Lily. Who is she?" Cori asked.
Alex looked down at Cori and Jayra then looked at Clearbrook. Clearbrook shrugged. "I don't know who told them the stories. I didn't tell them anything really." Clearbrook sent.
Alex just looked at the children for a moment. "I'll tell you later." She said and smiled. When she said that Strongbow turned and walked back down the mountain. Alex watched him. Everyone was happy to have Cutter and Skywise back. They took them down to Savah and Savah set a welcome home party for them.
While everyone was getting ready for that night Alex helped for a while and then looked around to see if she could find Strongbow. He was nowhere in sight. "He's in the caves, Alex." Moonshade sent.
Alex smiled with thanks and looked at the children who were having fun playing with dart and the other elf children. "We will watch them." Moonshade sent looking at Alex then looking at Clearbrook who nodded. Alex smiled again and went to the caves. She looked around in the darkness.
She then saw strongbow sitting in a corner and making more arrows for his bow. "Strongbow?" Alex said. Strongbow didn't look up or acknowledge that he heard her. "Strongbow? Can we talk?" Alex asked walking a little closer.
There was silence for a few minutes. "I thought you were dead." Strongbow sent. Alex looked at him surprised. "What?"
"I thought the humans had killed you." Strongbow sent. "Killed. . .so you told Jayra and Cori. . ." Alex didn't finish her thought.
"I told the children the stories of the chieftess, yes. I told them of Lily and what happened to her. I told them everything up to when you were taken from the wolfriders." Strongbow sent and never looked up at Alex.
"You. . . but I thought. . .you hated humans." Alex said surprised. "These are children. We can teach them to be like us before they grow up and hate us like the other human filth in this world." Strongbow sent.
"So you. . ." Alex paused when Strongbow stood up and dropped his half made arrow. He looked at her for the first time. His eyes looked sad but had no tears. He pulled her close in a hug. He wrapped his arms around her like he was going to lose her. Alex was surprised that he was hugging her. His arms were tightly wrapped around her shoulders and Alex put her hands on his shoulder and hugged him back. She thought she heard him crying.
She thought about saying something but decided not to and they stood there hugging for a minute. "Welcome home, Alex." Strongbow sent and still stayed in a hug with her for another moment.
