Episode 8 – Part 3

There was widespread concern in Pogoren, the war with the cult was over, careful searching in the days that followed the final battle confirmed that the last of the cult was finally rooted out and destroyed. But Niko was still unconscious following the final battle, having been caught in the explosion that had killed the cult leader, Jacob.

"God this is-" Arica whispered.

Mara gently squeezed her friend's shoulder. "It'll be okay Arica, you heard the doctor, he's just knocked out. He'll wake up."

Arica sighed. "Yeah, but when? Jonas and Lydia are both so worried, I don't know how to-"

"I know; but we can pull together and do this, right. We're all friends, no, we're all family." Mara replied.

Arica smiled a little at that; but before they could say anything else, Katia hurried up to them.

"Guys, it's happened, Livia!" She cried out. "She's gone into labour."

They reacted immediately, hurrying, along with several others they noticed, to Livia's home. When they got there they found that two of the three doctors within Pogoren now, one a trained midwife, the other was a man known as Gregor whom they knew Livia had got close to during their time in Pogoren.

"She'll be in good hands." Mara said softly. "But c'mon, we're still going to support her."

Arica and Katia agreed wholeheartedly and made their way over, still hopeful. They would be welcoming a new life into their community and just hoped that it wouldn't be long now until Niko woke up, finally restoring things.


It had been another two days since then. Mara sighed worriedly as she exited the house with Misha and Ivano. They were on their way to Niko's house, he still hadn't woken up.

'I just hope he'll be alright, I mean, surely he should've woken up by now?' She reflected worriedly.

Reaching the home she spotted the others had gathered around, Livia was there too, smiling as she cradled her baby boy, Miko. Gregor stood by her side. The other kids were present, all trying to distract each other, except for Lydia who sat, Jonas on her lap, trying to reassure him. Grozdan and Ansel sat together, keeping an eye on the kids.

"Mom, can we-?" Ivano began.

She nodded. "Of course, just, stay where Grozdan and Ansel can see you guys."

He nodded and immediately went to join Kalina, meanwhile Misha went over and sat with Lydia and Jonas.

"Has there been...any change?" Mara then asked Roman as she joined him.

Roman sighed. "Nothing yet, Arica's in there with him."

She bit her lip at that, looking around at all the others in their main group who were present; they all shared her concern. Turning her attention back to Misha she managed a smile when she saw him doing his best to cheer up Lydia and Jonas, he had brought along his hunting hat and, as Mara watched, he gently placed the hat on Jonas' head.

She was touched by the gesture. 'Misha, that was so sweet.'

It was clear he was letting Jonas have the hat now, passing it on.

Meanwhile, inside, Arica bit her lip as she watched over Niko. She was hopeful, any time now, she hoped Niko would wake up.

"Niko...so much has changed, peace has been restored, Livia's had her baby, the cult is gone." She said to him softly. "Please, you need to wake up, you need to see the world you helped create."

Then, as if her words had some sort of magical effect, she heard Niko groan and shift and, before her very eyes, he began slowly trying to rise, blinking.

"Niko!" She gasped.

Seeing her he managed to smile. "Arica, I...I've missed so much…"

Helping him up, grinning she nodded.

"Well, let's help you get all caught up, huh?"

He agreed and once dressed he followed Arica outside, where the others were waiting and would soon receive the good news. Niko's recovery.
