~Chapter 21~

Everyone stared at the screen agape as they watched the Akuma fly above the buildings over happy harbor. Large guns then emerged from it and began to fire at the people below. Screams could be heard from the people as they ran for their lives away from the creature.

"...This is horrible," M'gann said as she stared wide eyed at the thing. Superboy grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him in comfort.

Lenalee glared at the screen in anger. She turned to look at Allen who seemed to have the same look on his face. "We have to do something. It's going to kill everyone if we don't get out there soon." Allen nodded his head.

Wally looked at the two and frowned. "You guys aren't thinking what I think you're thinking are you?" He stared the two skeptically. Lenalee averted her eyes. "You can't be serious. You'll be killed!" He tried to grab for her hand but she pulled it away.

"I know that but...it is our duty as exorcists to destroy it and set whatever soul has been trapped free," she looked over at the three league members that were present, "You have to let us go. If it roams any further out of the city, it will make it's way to the other cities and kill everyone there too."

"...Are you sure," Canary asked her sternly. "If you can't stop this thing-"

"With all due respect," Allen interjected, "The only thing that can take an Akuma out is our power, an exorcists power. Your abilities would do nothing to it."

Superboy glared at him. "You saying that we can't fight this Akuma thing?"

Allen shook his head. "That is not what I'm saying at all. What I mean is-"

"What you mean is that even if we were able to fight it, we would just get in the way right," Raider reiterated.

"That isn't at all what I mean," Allen scowled.

"Uh huh, and were a band of misfit kids," Artemis commented sarcastically. Lenalee sighed. Why wouldn't any of them listen? Didn't they understand how serious this is?

"I think it would be best that they did this themselves," Aqualad said. They all turned to look at him in shock.

"What?!"

"What do you mean it would be best," Robin asked. Aqualad sighed again.

"I am saying that it would be best that we leave this up to them. They have more experience in this type of matter." No one said anything after that. They knew he was right, but still...

"What if we acted as decoys?" Everyone turned over to Raider who had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Decoys? You mean we distract that thing then Lenalee and Allen take it out." Raider nodded.

"Yeah. We could try to lure it away from all of the people and into a secluded area, then these two will give it the finishing blow."

Artemis smiled at her boyfriend. "You sure are smart when you wanna be." Raider gave her a deadpanned look.

"So I'm not smart all the time then...wow thanks Artemis," he said sarcastically. Artemis smacked him upside the head and glared at him.

"I didn't mean it like that you dummy! I just meant that you have really good ideas when you put your mind to it. I never said you weren't smart."

"...Oh." Raider rubbed the back of his head and grunted in pain. She sure hits hard.

"Batman," Crow called out getting his attention, "What do you think?" The man was silent for awhile. He really didn't want the team getting involved in this at all, but he also knew that if he told them to stay put then they would go anyway. He's made that mistake several times. He sighed and moved his white slits to gaze at the team.

"The plan is a sure fire way to get all of you killed on contact...but it is good enough to give those two time to take the creature." Everyone, including Canary and Crow, looked at the man in shock. Never before had he fully agreed to anything. Well, there's a first time for everything.

Crow blinked at her brother then smiled and turned back to the team. "You heard the man." They all got over their shock and went to the hangar.

The team sat in silence in the Bioship as they approached the town where the Akuma was. As the ship made it's way through the town, they could see remnants of the people that had been killed. It was a sad sight.

"This is awful. No way that thing took out all of these people in a span of 15 minutes." Robin stared down at the ground through his window. He took out it his holo computer and began typing. Batman had told him to give him as much detail as possible while they were here.

"It wasn't just people that it took out. Look." Everyone turned in the direction where Superboy was pointing. Several buildings had been completely destroyed, along with the streets and sidewalks. There were craters everywhere.

"No way that thing wanted to leave without making a mess." Kid gaped at the sight. "This is like a horror moving in the making." He chuckled as he turned his gaze to Tori. He frowned when he saw her looking at him in worry.

"Hey, what's wrong," he saw her sigh and grabbed his gloved hand.

"I'm just worried is all. I don't want anything to happen to you," she said with worry in her tone. She moved her free hand to touch his cheek, "I don't want to lose you."

Kid relaxed into her touch and smiled. "Babe, you don't have to worry. As long as we got each others backs were good." He leaned into her face and kissed her forehead. He moved back and bumped his forehead onto hers. "I'll be fine okay, I am the fastest boy alive after all." Tori chuckled at that.

"Okay." She smiled. Everything was going to be okay, she knew that and she was going to keep that thought in her head.

"Oh look, there's the big trouble maker," Raider said as he narrowed his eyes at the Akuma. The thing had it's back turned and was currently trying to shoot a couple of teens.

"We have to get down there now. Miss Martian bring us down behind the nearest building," Aqualad order. The young martian complied and telepathically moved the bioship behind an apartment complex.

"Tori, are you sure about this," Kid asked her, giving her one last pleading look. She gave him a small smile and took his hand, giving it a squeeze.

"I'm sure, and don't worry about us we'll be fine. We have done this a lot back in our world." She gave him a peck on his cheek and got up form her seat along with Allen. The two walked over to the opening, then looked back at everyone. "Stay safe," Tori told them.

Aqualad nodded "The same goes to you both, and when we have that thing cornered-"

"We'll be sure to take it out as fast as we can." With one last wave of goodbye, the two jumped out of the ship then jumped to the top the complex.

"..." Kid clenched his gloved fists on his legs, trying not to loose himself as he thought of Tori. He was worried for her and just thinking about the fact that...no, he wouldn't think like that. He had faith in both her and Allen, he knew that once they got that thing cornered that they would get it, but he was still worried for her. He looked up when he felt a hand touch his shoulder. Robin gave him a sympathetic look.

"Dude, stop being such a worry wart. She'll be fine."

"Yeah Baywatch, have some faith in your girlfriend," Artemis quipped next to him.

Raider gave him a pat on the back. "If all else fails then we have a trump card right. Ow," he yelped. He turned to look at Artemis with a pout. "Ouch Arty, what did 'ya that for?" His answer was a glare and another slap up against the head.

Aqualad sighed. "Enough, we must head out now. I am sure that Tori and Allen are awaiting out signal. Is everyone clear on the plan?" Everyone nodded. "Good, then let us be off."

…

"I still can't believe he managed to create an Akuma without using someone's soul. It just doesn't make any sense," Tori muttered.

Allen narrowed his eyes. "I agree. It's only a matter of time before he creates more...unless he already did."

Tori'e eyes grew wide. If Jakan was able to make more then all hell will break loose. People's lives would seriously be at stake. "Then when we finish up here we're going to question him."

The white haired male nodded. "Yeah."

Crash!

The two turned their heads towards the noise and saw their friends. It looked like they had managed to get the Akuma away from the people. They saw Aqualad turn around towards them and wave his water bearers back and forth.

"There's the signal. Are you ready," Allen asked. Tori nodded her head.

"As ready as I'll ever be. Let's go."

"Right!" The two jumped across the roofs towards the demon, their innocence activated. When they got close enough they jumped up above the thing.

"Take this," they cried out, both of their power colliding against the Akuma, hitting it over and over with great speed. The demon was pushed back by the attack and crashed into the brick building behind it, causing rubble and dust to fly all around them.

"Did you get it," Raider asked, trying to wave the dust away from his face.

"I don't know...wait," Allen said as he squinted his eyes to get a better look. "Le-Tori can you get rid of this dust?" She nodded and jumped up in the air, kicking her legs briskly causing a small wind to blow.

"That should do it," she said as she landed back on the ground.

When the dust had finally cleared the team were now able to get a better look, and what they saw made their eyes go wide. Even with Tori and Allen's combined attacks the Akuma was still yet alive and moving, which was a shock to the two exorcists present.

Tori quivered in fear when she saw the demon remove itself from the now crumbling building. "How can this be? I thought that was a perfect strike, that attack never fails."

Allen glared at the thing. "I had a feeling that this thing wasn't normal. We need a new strategy, something a bit more drastic," he pondered.

"I think you might want to think on that quicker," Superboy said, staring up at the Akuma. It started to move again, towards them, then it suddenly stopped right above them.

"What's it doing," M'gann asked warily.

For a moment the thing just floated above them, then out of nowhere several guns emerged from it and pointed down at them.

Tori and Allen's eyes grew wide. Oh no.

"Everyone get out of here now," Allen ordered.

"Wh-" Raider flinched at Allen's glare.

"Don't ask questions just get out n-" Before he could finish, the Akuma's guns began to shoot down at them. The team were sent flying in different directions as soon as the bullets landed, their bodies hitting the buildings next to them. Once again the Akuma prepared it's guns for another attack, making sure that they were dead this time, but before it could it felt like something was stabbing it.

"My my, I never thought in my life that I would find a creature like you here," male's voice spoke from behind the demon. The Akuma slowly turned around with it's guns ready to shoot whoever was behind it. "Why a vile thing like you is here I have no clue, but I do know that you have caused quite a bit of trouble; for these kids, the exorcists, and my son," the man sneered, raising his hand at the demon as it began to glow a bright blue color.

"Be gone!" And it a flash of light the Akuma was gone. The man sighed and landed down next to the unconscious team, looking down at each of them. His sea foam green eyes widened slightly when he saw Raider and knelt down next to him.

"It's good to see you again, Taylor." The man stood up when he heard footsteps.

"Raider!" He heard a woman's voice yell, and his eyes widened.

"That voice," he said. "I know that voice." When the footsteps stopped he heard a small gasp come from the end of the alley. There before him stood a woman that he knew all to well, someone he never thought he would see again.

"Marianne." She stood there with a shocked look on her face when she saw who called her name.

"Christopher," she whispered, her voice staring to quiver. She made no move to turn when she heard her brother call out for her on her com-link.

The man gave the woman a small smile. "It's good to see you again Mari-"

"Shut up! You have no right to call me that anymore," she growled, her shocked expression gone from her face. Christopher did not flinch at her tone, but he his expression wavered a bit as he listened to her yell at him. He sighed as she began to speak about how he abandoned his family and that he had no right to even be near their son. She didn't say 'their' though. She pointed out that he had no right to be Taylor's father anymore either.

The man sighed. "Mari, there are no words to express how sorry I am that I left you and out son, but if you could just listen to me for a moment-"

Marianne scoffed. "Your sorry? Do you have any idea how much I suffered, how much my child suffered because of you. Sorry does not even enough for what you did," she snapped in a fit of rage. She was so angry that she did not notice the kids stirring.

"Mari please! Calm down," Christopher tried to reason, walking up to her slowly. He stopped when he saw a figure descending from above, red cape and a very familiar symbol on their chest. His eyes narrowed a the figure as he landed behind Marianne.

"Well well, if it isn't Superman, the man of steel himself. I had thought that the Kryptonians died all those years ago," he muttered the last part under his breath, knowing that the man could hear him well. The latter tilted his head at the sight of Christopher then with a brief recollection of Crow's description of her husband he glared.

So this was the man that walked out on his family and left them to suffer. He had always wondered what kind of man would leave someone like Marianne and her two kids by themselves, causing the woman grief depression. Now that he got a good look at him he knew that this man before him was nothing at all that he expected. The man had good looks yes, but his stature and the way he held himself looked that of royalty.

"Crow, we should get the kids out of here," Superman said as his blue eyes fell onto the team. The woman nodded her head, composing herself and walking over to her son. She knelt down next to him giving him a once over and sighed in relief. She moved her hand to her ear-com and called her brother, asking for immediate pick up.

Christopher could only watch as the two leaguers checked over the kids for any injuries, his mouth drawn into a frown as he watched the two interact with one another. It hurt him a bit to see that his once wife had moved on, even if they did not officially divorce. It was evident that what ever affections the two had for another was mutual. His hands clenched tightly, almost drawing blood as he did so.

He made no move to help as he looked over all of the teens. He hadn't expected to see two exorcists here of all places. He thought their kind to be in different dimensions, not here...that woman must have had something to do with it.

His sister was definitely a sneaky one, but that was a specialty of hers.

"Ugh, what happened," Raider said drowsily as he sat up in the infirmary bed. The others followed suit as they all woke up.

Artemis, who was laying on the bed next to him, shook her head, not knowing anything. She looked around her in confusion then in realization. "Guys, do you remember what happened to us?"

"We were shot at by that weird Akuma creature," Kid answered for Lenalee, knowing that she wanted to answer first. He smiled at her pout and mouthed a 'sorry'.

Robin rolled his eyes at them and swung his legs to the side of the bed, turning his head to the bed in front of his. "So Allen, what do you think we should do now since we didn't stop that thing?"

The white haired teen frowned. "I don't know. Our attacks should have worked on that Akuma. It was a full proof plan, I just don't see how it couldn't have worked." He bowed his head, leaning it against his legs. He jumped when he felt a hand touch his shoulder and looked up to see Aqualad giving him a sympathetic smile.

"I believe that even though the plan was not successful, were able to fully work things out in such a short period of time. I speak for everyone when I say that the two of you lead us perfectly."

Allen smiled at that. "You say that but I know for a fact that you are a much better leader than me. I would never be able to lead a whole team like you do." Everyone either gave amused looks or chuckled at the teens words.

They all turned their head when they saw the door to the infirmary open, revealing Crow and Canary with small smiles on their faces...well Crow wasn't really smiling. Her smile looked to be forced.

"I'm glad to see you all up and about," Canary said as she walked into the room. Crow followed behind her slowly making sure to avoid her sons gaze.

"Did that Akuma get away," Superboy asked bluntly, voicing everyone's thoughts. Canary and Crow looked at each other then to the team.

"It almost did but a man that Crow is-acquainted with showed up after you all fell unconscious. He managed to take it out before it fled." The team sighed in relief at the news.

"That's good, but..." Raider paused, "The man that took the Akuma out, who was he? Do we know him or was he another exorcist?" Crow stiffened as she saw him turn to look at her. She was about to blurt her ex-husbands name but Canary shook her head.

"It would be best if you just see him for yourselves," she said, chuckling at the teens' confused faces. They all got up from the infirmary beds and walked towards the door, following behind the two women .

…

When they all arrived at the main area of the cave, they spotted Batman, Superman (much to Superboy's chagrin), and another man who looked oddly familiar. At the sight of the man Raider's widened behind his mask, his mouth hanging open as he stopped. Artemis noticed his expression and gave him a questioning look whispering a 'what's wrong' to him. He only shook his head as his eyes did not waver from looking at the man a few feet away from him.

Christopher turned around at the sound of footsteps, smiling at the team that he had seen before. "Ah, so this is the team that my so – Raider is with," he mentally cursed for that little slip up. He try to play it off with a radiant smile that caused the three female teens to blush much to their boyfriends chagrin.

"You're the one that took out the Akuma," Superboy said in disbelief. M'gann elbowed him lightly with a small frown on her face. The teen ignored it and continued to stare at the man skeptically. The guy didn't look like one who could have taken out a group of thugs much less a large creature. And the way he looked threw him off a bit. The man looked to pretty to do something like that.

"He doesn't look like much," Kid muttered with a bite in his tone. Tori glared at him and slapped the back of his head making him yelp out in pain. He glared at the sound of the 'harpies' and Robins chuckles from next to him. Aqualad shook his head with a sigh at his teammates antics.

"..." Raider said nothing, staring at the man with disdain and a small hint of anger. He had no clue when he was going to see his father again after their little meeting in that strange place, yet here is clad in casual clothing and not those silk garbs he had on before. He couldn't get what his father told him out of his head either, that he had alien blood in him, not that that was anything new. He had friends on this team that weren't human.

Batman spoke. "Christopher came along with you to see how you all were doing, as well as something he needed to ask." The Dark Knight did not look all to happy at all when he said this. He wanted nothing but to angle the man over the edge of a high building for what he did to his sister in the past, but as they say 'let bygones be bygones'. He would hold his composure while the man stood there, which was not going to be all that hard since he's 'Batman' and all.

Christopher nodded his head at Batman and turned to the team, bowing with a hand on his chest and on his back. "It is a pleasure to meet you all. I have heard only good things about you all, and as Batman said before I have something to ask of you all. A request if you will," he articulated to them.

Aqualad stepped forward. "If we can be of any assistance." The man smiled at the males attitude.

"Yes, well first I must introduce myself to you all," he began as he closed his eyes. Out of nowhere a bright light protruded from the man, consuming him and hiding him from everyone's eyes. When the light had finally dimmed down everyone but a few gaped at the man. He looked completely different now. Just like before, the man's hair was platinum, his eyes were gray, his ears looked like elf ears, a small triangle was on his left cheek with a small circle under it, and his skin was a lot paler now.

There was nothing but silence until Kid spoke. "Wow, um that explains so much right now," he said in shock. Lenalee nodded her head in agreement.

Crow gaped at the man feeling a mixture of surprise and question. Why had he not told her this before? All those years ago when Taylor was taken did he not express why he did it nor did he say how he was able to have such power. Well now she knew the reason.

"You're an alien,"Artemis gawked at him. Christopher chuckled which came out lightly, almost like bells.

"Indeed I am my dear, but my people do not refer to ourselves as such," he corrected.

M'gann stared at the man in awe and admiration. "You're a Gyphen," she displayed in excitement, her usual grin now wider than normal along with her eyes. Superboy quirked an eyebrow.

"Gyphen? I've never heard of an alien like that."

"That is because we have been in hiding. If word were to get out of our existence then we would be in grave danger," he explained in a serious tone. "The only reason why this young woman knows what I am is because it is my people that helped refurbish Mars, along side the Martian Manhunter of course," he chuckled out.

That was a surprise to the four leaguers, although not as much now that they thought about it. J'onn did mention that a group of people from another planet had come to help the people of Mars. He did not express in great detail of who they were just that someone came to help.

"Telling from how you 'transformed' just now the Gyphens are a magical race," Robin deduced, slightly intrigued by the man's power.

Christopher nodded. "That is correct. Gyphens have come from a long line of ethereal beings, passing down the teachings of those before on magic and greatness," he stated proudly. Canary rose an eyebrow at the word 'greatness'.

"Is there something else that we should know about your people. Something that you have yet to tell us, Christopher," Canary asked him. He did not answer right away, staring over at Raider who had turned away from his gaze. The Gyphen sighed. He was reluctant to give away who he truly was, but he did not wish to rouse anymore suspicion with these people, especially his son.

With a small breath he spoke.

"Gyphens, as I said before are magical beings or what humans call nymphs. It has been said that one of our kind is to be crowned ruler of all of us, to keep our powers banded together in one union. My father, King Cyn is that very ruler that rules along side my mother, Queen Kaiu. Over the past millennium they have watched over our planet, Gyphten, safe guarding it from any and all who would threaten it." At his reveal that he was royalty, Raider and Crow stared wide eyed at the man, mainly Raider. And as shocking as that was to them the next thing the man said shocked everyone tremendously.

"As I am the crown prince of Gyphten, I am to marry a woman worthy of me," he gave a pointed look to Crow, "My parents tried to force me to marry a woman of their choosing, but I refused. I did not want to enter into a loveless marriage, I wanted to marry for love like the citizens did. I was young back then so it was understandable." He smiled at the memory of him arguing with his parents, telling them that he would leave Gyphten if they did not abolish the engagement. He eventually did just that, leaving that planet without any indication for his family that he left. "I fled from that place, leaving my family and friends behind. Not giving a second thought to my decision."

Lenalee smiled sadly at the man's words. She understood exactly where he was coming from. Having to leave everything behind because of all that had happened to her home land. She and her brother could not stay there for another second, since their parents had long since passed away from the world, leaving her and Komui to fend for themselves. It was hard, even for someone like her friend, Allen, who had gone through as much as the rest of her surrogate family back home. Here, in this dimension, it was sort of the same, but she had yet to hear everything about her teammates lives.

"...You say you fled from your home planet? What happened after that," Raider asked, speaking up for the first time. Christopher smiled at him, happy that he wanted to know more.

"I had drifted through space for about a year or so in one of our ships. We call them U'tai's in our native tongue...It was about about a month or so after that I had landed on Earth. I had already known about your planet from my studies back home, but had no clue as to where I needed to go. I was a lost child, not knowing who to turn to, who to ask for help when I needed it the most. I was stuck, that is until I met my surrogate parents, Patrick and Gretchen Hughes." He continued to tell them of how the couple took pity on him and let him stay with them. They took care of him. Two months later they adopted him, calling him 'son'.

Robin mentally sympathized with the man. He knew what it was like to be stuck, not knowing where to go. Like Christopher he was also adopted. He could never fully repay Bruce for what he's done for him nor could he tell him. He did eventually find a way to convey his thanks to him by working along side him as Robin, and being the best he could be in school. He was also grateful for the family he found along the way, the friends he made. Wally, Taylor, Jasmin, Barbara, Marianne, Kaldur, and even Roy, they were all his special people.

Crow looked at her ex-husband, her emotions getting the better of her at the moment as she listened to his story. He was getting closer and closer to the part where he had met her. She sighed.

"We understand that you managed to find a family to take you in, but that doesn't explain everything," Crow voiced, not giving the man any leeway. Her words brought new thoughts to everyone minds, staring him down once again for more info. The man chuckled nervously.

"I see that you all are still not satisfied, well, I was going to mention that after a few years here on Earth I did partake in one of your rituals. I believe it is called a 'wedding'," he smirked when he saw Crow blanch out at him. "Yes, I ended up falling in love with one of your Earth women and marrying her." He knew that the way he was speaking right now was getting on the woman's nerves, but he just couldn't help teasing her.

"Who was this woman," Artemis asked curiously. Raider slumped at her question. She just had to ask that.

"She is standing right behind you all." The teens turned to look back at Crow, staring at her in bewilderment and shocked. The latter tried to make herself as invisible as possible, but it wasn't going to work. Everyone knew now. She felt a pair of eyes on her, knowing in fact that it was her brother and Superman who were looking at her.

"That is...totally unexpected and slightly surprising," Canary said as she gazed at the poor woman next to her. She was slightly happy that the man did not give Crow's identity away though, or else things would have been become even more awkward then they already were.

Christopher continued. "After we married, a child was born soon after. One who held the same abilities inside of him as I do right now. My son." He gazed over to Raider with a proud look in his gray tinted eyes. "If I had known that you carried the same power in you as I do I would have trained you sooner. For that I apologize," he said and bowed as he did before, catching everyone off guard. He straightened back up and looked back and forth at the people before him. "Truly I am sorry to have bothered you all but this a request that I am dire need of fulfilling. Something that only those of your abilities can do for me. Please-"

He bowed again.

"Please save my people!"

Jakan stared up at the ceiling of his mini cell, counting the metal squares above him. He slumped back against the chair that he had been chained to, pulling at his hand restraints lazily.

"Why do you still hesitate to escape Jakan," a voice spoke in his head. Jakan ignored it, knowing that it would just continued to try and goad him. He had learned long ago of how to ignore the voices that spoke to him in his head, but at some points they would over power him greatly. It usually caused him to think irrationally about things and just move on instinct.

"I know that I can not just stand to wait in this prison and expect one of those 'heroes' to let me out. Patience is key here. When the time is right I will strike with all I have and escape, then track down those exorcists." He closed his eyes, envisioning his plan thoroughly. His eyes were still closed when he saw a bright light shine within them. It brought up a familiar feeling, one he knew very well, which he tried to ignore. It was normal for him though, trying to look past this usual feeling he got when he saw this light, but something was different this time. The light enraptured him in it's sunny glow, beckoning him to come further. He could not help but give in to it. Then like a bat to the head, his mind was rattled suddenly. He then heard a voice speak loud and clear.

"Your time has come, Jakan. Go forth and bring peace among our people. You must not stray from the path of good any longer. Return to your people and help bring what was once ours back to where it belongs," he heard the voice of a woman say in his head. He knew this voice, it was someone he had heard many a time but gave no indication that he could hear clearly.

"Mom, i-is that you," he uttered aloud in his mind. He heard a chuckle.

"Mom," he called for her again, looking back and forth for any sign of her presence. But he did not find her within the light at all.

Jakan grit his teeth, his shadows springing from under him. "Why?! WHY?! Why are you leaving me again?!" Tears began to leak from his eyes. "I tried to find you like you said! I looked for you for 12 years, but you never showed up...I've been a good boy mother, truly I have, so please," he expressed in desperation as his voice grew shakier and shakier. He felt wetness slide down his cheeks onto his jeans as he sobbed.

"...Jakan, you have not done as I told you to do. You must go forth along side those who hold you here, and bring peace to our people. Save them, before it is to late. If you do not do so then I fear for your sanity my son."

Jakan sniffled. "What do you mean 'save out people'? Is there something I should know," he asked.

"Yes, you are not of that other world. Your birth was sanctioned on a distant planet here, called Gyphten. That is out native home." Jakan's eyes widened, shocked at this new piece of information.

He wasn't a Noah?

"No, you are not. Many years ago you were taken from me by a man named-" The woman's voice was cut off before she could finish. Fearing that she disappeared again Jakan began to call out her name. Her birth name.

"Camelia!"
