Chapter 22

No Place Like Home

After Jerrid had left, they really weren't sure what to do. They were alone in a dead town and there didn't seem to be anywhere they could go. None of the children had families that were close by. And none of them really wanted to go to their families any ways.

Selari had just said good-bye to the last of her family. Beatrix didn't count anymore. She wasn't family, she was a betrayer and that was it.

"What about Divear?"

"What about Divear?" Selari demanded.

"Well we could always stay with him. You know he wouldn't mind." She said.

"I know that he wouldn't mind. But I can't, I can't not after what I've done." Her voice saddened with the thought of not seeing Divear again.

"What why not. You did nothing wrong, You just did what was in your nature to do. I say that we should go to him."

"No, so get over it."

"Selari what are we going to do?" asked one of the twins.

"Where are we going to go? None of us want to stay here." The other twin said.

Selari turned to look at them. They were all looking at her, expecting her to know the answers. Expecting her to find out what they should do, where they should go. They trusted her, even after what they had seen. They knew what she was capable of and still they stood with her. In that moment Selari knew that she would never abandon them, they needed her, and in some strange way they needed her.

"I'm not sure there is any place for us to go," Eri commented. They all turned to look at him.

"Why do you think that?" Reya demanded of him, traces of anger could be detected in her voice.

But Eri didn't seem to notice, or he chose to ignore it. "Well what could they do with us? We will be a drain on people. They'll have to fine homes for us, and who knows how long that will take. They'll have to find temporary homes, until they find permanent homes. Then of course they might just send us to any living family member's that they could find." Eri stated simply as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

The other children looked at him in awe. He understood so much so young. He had already figured stuff out and they were all still wandering in circles. Selari also stared at him, maybe not in awe, but with respect. He was an intelligent one; he would be very useful to all of them.

He will make a good Steward in your court.

"Oh, so now your talking to me," she growled at the Wind.

I did not see any reason to speak to you before.

"You didn't see any…" she shouted, "How about to warn me about what was going to happen the other day. That seemed to me to be very important."

Yes, that was important, but I didn't want you to stop it. And if I had told you, you would have stopped it and then everything would be ruined.

"But people died, lots of people died, because you wouldn't tell me, how could anything come before that. These children lost their family because of it, and now none of them have any where to go." Selari stated angrily at him. How could he just show up and act like nothing had even happened.

For now they have nowhere to go, but they will, you will see to that.

"Could you stop talking in damn riddles here. I'm tired of your idiotic cryptic ways can't you talk normal for once." Selari realized that this probably was not the best time to be doing this, but she wasn't very rational at the moment.

It is not a riddle it is a simple statement that you should be able to easily understand.

"Ya, I understand that we have no homes now, and supposedly I'm going to find some for us all. But you never say what you really mean. There's always some hidden meaning under everything you say. So how about we just get straight to your point." She told him.

There are always other meanings in what I say, for why should I speak if I were to only help but in a small way.

"Ya, great, thanks," Selari said sarcastically. "You were a grand help and you answered all of my questions and you got straight to the point, man your such a great help."

Selari is that anyway to speak to your friend.

"If you don't start giving me some answers then I'm going to discontinue this conversation." Selari said a bit coldly this time.

If I must, then I shall. He said this with a dramatic sigh

"Yes you must"

"Great going, you didn't let him push you around and your telling the 'Great and Mighty Wind' what to do, even better."

I heard that.

"Ya, what's your point." She asked.

I don't take kindly to being insulted.

"I'll show you being insulted, you-"

"Enough!" Selari shouted at both of them. "I don't have time for one of your guys little fights. I just want answers and that's it. Now, you be quiet and listen to what Wind as to say." She told herself. "And you, continue on with what you were going to say before." She then told the wind.

"Fine, but your no fun," and with that she was silent.

Finally you have achieved the impossible, shutting that annoying creature up.

"You do know that that creature as you just called it is me, right."

Two different parts, you shut up the annoying part of yourself.

"Fine, I don't care just continue on."

Continue on with what?

Selari was getting frustrated they were both out to torment her. They do this purposely just to annoy me. That way I'll get angry and won't speak to either, and then they can continue on arguing. Which will then of course take place in my head of course. Which will only give her a headache, because neither of them have a head. If only the two of them would go away and find someone else to annoy.

"How sweet you think I'm annoying," her other-self chimed in from her mind.

"Go away, and it wasn't a compliment."

She sighed dramatically and said, "I know it wasn't a compliment, but I have decided to take it has one, even if you intended it to be an insult."

Well I guess that I should continue on with my explanation of where I think that you should go.

"What now your going to tell me, after all that, you decide to tell me?" she asked in disbelieve. "Why couldn't you have told me before all of this happened?"

Of course I'm going to tell you, I just said that I was going to. Why would you think that I wouldn't?

"Mother Night," she muttered, she would never escape them, and they would forever torment her. "Just get on with it."

Just what I was going to do.

There isn't any way to kill the Wind is there, she thought silently. Making sure that neither herself nor the Wind could hear her. If only, if only, were her last thoughts before she started to listen to what the Wind had to say.

You do remember what I told you about Zuulaman?

"Yes,"

Then you know that the High Lord of Hell did to Zuulaman. Well all you have to do is reverse what he did, and you shall have a whole realm, in which you can live.

"Of course why didn't I think of that I'll just reverse what the High Lord of Hell did in a cold rage." She said sarcastically.

Good, I'm glad that we agree.

"We're not agreeing, I was being sarcastic." She told him.

But to me this sarcasm is just another from of agreement. Now I think that you should get started right away.

"Wait…no, sarcasm is not any sort of agreement."

Of course, you'll be pretty weak after you do this so make sure your little Circle here, is prepared to defend you. Then when you have recovered enough you shall bring down the shields, which should be surrounding the island after you create it. Of course only to allow you and the others in and then bring it back up.

Mother Night, what was happening. Every thing was getting out of control and there seemed to be nothing that she could do, to get it back on track. Did she really want it back on course, she asked herself. She would like to have Divear with her. But that wasn't an option right now. That seemed about all that she wanted.

She hadn't even agreed to do what the Wind had suggested. In fact she wasn't even sure how to do what he had told her to do. But maybe it was a good idea; maybe she should give it a try. What could she loose? The Wind must have been reading her thoughts, for then he asked…

Are you ready?


AN: I have decided to end it there isn't that great. I thought it was wonderful. Though I sincerely doubt that any of you like it the way that I have ended it. It's just that I wanted to end it there.

So ya, now I want you all to review and tell me what you think. Cause well I want to know what I should work on, what I could do to make it better. Yes, I know, I know, work on my grammar, proofread it some more. Yes, those two I know so besides those two tell me what I should work on.

And yes this is the part that I would like to thank all of my wonderful reviewers. There were just so many of you, and I appreciate that you have all that took the time to read and review my little fanfiction. So I guess that's it…

The End

Or is it…

P.S. Just so you know there is an epilogue and I shall be posting it shortly. I actually have it all written and everything. How soon I post it; all depends on how fast you review.
