I updated for this for the lone person who still reads this fanfic. I was checking my stats on . There, it states in my statistics that I have a single person reading this. This story is my first ever really. The whole story is complete in my mind, but I don't actively think on it anymore. So, this short update is for you dedicated reader. Reminding me that people still care.

"How can I get there in time?" Cleao draws her knees up against her chest. Arms wrap around them, her left palm itches like something is crawling under her skin. Barely she resists the urges to scratch it. Now she has a more pressing concern, figuring out how to save both Mariabella and Krylancelo. No way is she going to lose both of them!
We can open a portal. You will be teleported there instantly. Blood ties you to Majic, and he's with Krylancelo. I can provide the means, you the way.
Leki's voice is soothing, deep and rich in her mind. There are words she hears, but also emotions. They're connected. It's comforting to not be alone.
Never alone, we are Bond Mates. Together, we'll save them. I know the ring can only save one… but… we'll think of something. As a team. The Immortal messing around with all of this… they killed my mother. I can't let her win!
Heartened by Leki's words, Cleao looks around the room. Her forces her arms to release her knees. Left hand reaches out gently petting Leki's soft head. He's larger now. Deep in her mind, she knows things have changed. There is no going back, only forward.
"Let's go." Cleao shoves off the few covers. Quickly checking over her appearance, it's always important to go into battle looking one's best! No scars from her death, but something is different about her. Cleao checks for blemishes as Leki does something in the background. She can't find anything different about her appearance yet… she looks changed.
The portal is ready. You need to give it directions.
"How do I do that?" Cleao abandons the mirror, flipping her hair behind her shoulder. She looks good, she can handle anything.
It needs blood. The portal will find Majic using your blood. Just prick your finger and place a droplet anywhere on the reflective surface.
"Blood? But…" Cleao doesn't want to bleed, she doesn't want to get hurt again! Before her is a large oval of reflective material. Similar in color to Leki's coat. Lazy ripples crosses the surface when she pokes it. Krylancelo… Majic… Mariabella… they need me! A little blood won't prevent me from doing this!
With a hard bite on her thumb on her left, she opens a wound. Hot blood gushes down. She smears it across the surface of the portal. Slowly the ripples pause, then stop. Now completely smooth, it glows brighter and brighter. An image of a heavily forested island appears before her. Without looking back, she runs through.
