Chapter 11

The Healers stood around Nights anxiously. They couldn't touch him; it was impossible. They didn't know what to do.

Elijah stood amongst the Healers, watching Nights intently, "Wizemin."

The Healers looked at him, "what?"
Elijah put on his persona, and walked over to Nights. Teara grabbed his shoulder, "we already tried that Elijah."

"The Wizemin doesn't know me like he knows all of you," Elijah explained, "I might be able to catch him off guard," Elijah placed his hands on Nights' forehead and chest, and closed his eyes. He stood like that for a long moment. He tore his hands away from Nights' body like they had been burned, "he's killing him," he said fearfully, "he's sucking his life away," he looked at Teara, "he's trying to reincarnate himself."

Teara put a hand to her lips, stifling a scream. The others ran from the room.

"We have to stop him," Elijah said firmly.

"H-How?"

"I need Reala,"

"Why?" Reala walked into the room, scowling at Elijah, "isn't this what you wanted?"

"No," Elijah shook his head vigorously, "I don't want this, and I need your help to stop it."

"Why should I help you?"

"Because," Elijah said angrily, "if you don't, you won't have a brother anymore."

Reala looked at Nights, "what should I do?"

Reala and Elijah walked up into Castile Eden, Reala holding Nights securely in his arms.

"Why are we here again?" Reala asked.

"Because I thought it would be a funny sort of Irony, let's end it where it all started."

Reala frowned.

Elijah shighed, "if we're going to get rid of Wizemin and his power, why not take out all of it?"

Reala placed Nights on the grassy floor and Kneeled beside him; Elijah kneeled on his other side and held out his hands. Reala looked at them hesitantly.

"This is for our brother-"

"My brother," Reala said angrily.

They interlaced their fingers and placed their hands, palm down, on Nights' chest. Their aura intertwined and began to purify Nights' body.

Elijah felt himself weakening, curse his deficient body.

"Elijah,"

Elijah looked up at Reala.

"You'll be okay,"

Elijah smiled, "I know," he closed his eyes and concentrated. The air began to feel lighter around them. It was working.

Nights' eyes fluttered open.

He watched his two brothers as they pulled the darkness from the land. He joined his hands with theirs, and with their combined aura, the Wizemin's power was destroyed, forever.

The three 'Maren held each other joyfully.

"Okay," Nights said to his brothers, "what happened?"

"You don't remember?" Elijah asked.

"Do I want to?" Nights asked.

"All we do need to say is: the Wizemin is gone, for good," Reala smiled.

Nights stood, "it feels so much lighter," he flew over to the edge of the garden, "oh wow! Come look at this!"

Reala and Elijah joined Nights, looking down into the black ocean, except, it wasn't black anymore.

"Well what'd ya know," Elijah smiled.

Nights floated down and touched the clear water delicately. It was ordinary water. He cupped his hands and filled them with water. He flew back up to his two brothers, "look, its real water."

Reala touched the water in Nights' hands, "so the dark ocean was just dark and evil because it was deluded by the Wizemin's power?"

"Looks like it," Nights pored the water out of his hands. He looked into the setting sun, thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about?" Reala asked him.

"If this ocean was just an ocean to begin with, what lands lie beyond the horizon?"

You probably think this is the end… well to bad, it's only just begun.
