Caleb looked between both Cornelia and will he knew what was coming he had dragged the story out of will months ago and he was hating his self for not making her stop sooner. Some part of his mind wanted her plan to succeed but a greater part of his brain was devastated at the extent that she would go for a world she had not know till almost a year ago.
Standing behind will and looking at Cornelia he turned around when he heard foot steps behind him he spotted Irma making her way to them. Holding up a finger and silencing her with a look he waited for will to start talking and praying that she didn't know that Irma was there if she was there she wouldn't say what needed to be said.
Will pov
I took a deep breath knowing that this was coming sooner or latter but thanking the fact that Irma wasn't here if she was I wouldn't have to courage to say some of this.
"I don't want Caleb Cornelia he is a brother to me "
"LIAR Irma and you have been talking about a crush you have all week"
"First off yea so we have been talking about a crush I have and second I have never lied to you about your Caleb issues. And lastly I have a crush of some one yea but its Irma her self not Caleb HE. IS. A. BROTHER. TO. ME."
I said that last part putting emphasis on last words
My face paled realizing what she had just said to Cornelia I wanted to bolt but Caleb sensing what I was about to do placed a hand on my shoulder and steadied me he them spoke softly
"Tell her will tell her everything she needs to know will."
He took a deep breath then continued
"I'm tired i'm tired of seeing you slowly killing your self and i'm tired of seeing you suffer in silence its not right … just please tell her will"
No pov
Cornelia paled at this statement she had thought that there was something between the two but now she realized that what she thought it wasn't something that was hurting will.
She watched will's face when Caleb said that looking at the interaction between the two of them.
Will looked distressed and tired then her face seemed to age ten years far beyond her age
"Your right I should tell her," replied will
At this point Irma had gotten over her shock at will's revelation she had suspected but to have it confirmed was a different story
Caleb who had seen Irma approached for stalled her form making her presence known to will realized that this may be the perfect opportunity to allow not only his girlfriend but wills crush know what will was doing
Will sighed in resignation "I have been lying you all Cornelia but never about my feelings towards Caleb, No it was about my supposed non existent powers." Will looked resigned then continued "I saw how all grew with your powers yet I still had none, I saw how much you all keep on getting hurt both fighting and trying to protect me."
"I didn't want you all to suffer for that so I asked yan lin who had given us the heart I figured that she would be able to help me with the power questions. When I went to her she told me that she wasn't the only really in charge but the council and oracle of a plane called kandrakar.
"I asked her if she had anyway I could contact them and if she could possibly broker a meeting between them of me about something. At this point a portal opened and out stepped both a cat like woman and a human along with her they said that they were the oracle and one of the members of said council."
"She told me that she was specifically the keeper of our powers and she believed that for the questions I was going to ask that she would be the preferred being that could answer them.
I pleaded with them both to allow me to present my case to both of them and the council in general. When asked why I stated that I whished for a way to help all of the guardians in our up and coming battles.
They looked pensive but agreed and said they would come for me latter that night but I was ok with that. They stated what time would be best to come for me I stated that around 11 or so would be best my mom would be asleep by then so she wouldn't realize I was missing till morning.
Will looked up at Cornelia with pleading eyes "Cornelia I hope you know I love you all but your lives are and have been far better than mine".
"I've … well me and mom have both struggle to get here, before we moved here our lives were harsh and still are to a certain existent. Yes when we moved they got better but it's a slow process and things like this take time, any way mom and others have said that i'm almost mechanistic with the way I am some times with others I believe that its self sacrificing.
I believe that it is just a by product of the live I have lived."
Cornelia blinked and looked even more confused at what will was telling her she believe that while yea could do a whole lot better. she wasn't all that bad off but then again she would never know what bad off really was
She reflected on what she had seen of will and she was self sacrificing almost to point that it was suicidal. She then recalled what Caleb had said before will start talking and grew pale at the sick at the possibilities.
Irma who was now beside Caleb who silently told her to remain quite. She knew that Will was entirely focused on Cornelia she realized that will was entirely focused on Cornelia she realized that will was also completely in her own world. She also paled in realization of what will had been doing and longed to grasp her tightly so that she may shake her beg her that what she thought wasn't true.
Will took a deep breath and continued seeing Cornelia was silent and could see the wheels turning.
That night after mom want to bed they returned and said that I was allowed to plead mu case. I went with them into a large chamber filled with hundreds of seats most of them filled with several creatures I have never seen much less thought of while others had an almost human like in appearance.
At first I asked why as leader of the guardians I had only the power to transform the other guardians and close portals.
They gave me a story of the previous guardians how they were great friends then as time went on their leader grew corrupt with the power of the heart. Then when the council learned of this we took the heart from her and gave it to another hoping that while separating her from the heart would cure her.
But our thinking was flawed she had felled into a dependency for the power of the heart she tried to take it back forcefully but in doing so she killed the guardian we had given the hear.
After all this had happened the guardians fell apart from both the grief of death of their water guardian but they're in ability to save their leader from her self. Years latter the council said they saw the same corruption appear in the young prince phobos.
I was then told that in order to spear the other realms form the corruption of phobos that they has used the powers of the guardians to create a vile.
When deciding where to draw the power from but also holding in mind what had happened to the previous leader they decided to draw most of the power form the leader.
When that wasn't enough they pulled an equal amount from the other guardians with all that power they were to hold phobos at bay for a while but he grew more powerful and they were forced to call in the guardians them selves in order to battle him.
In the end the heart and in turn the keeper of the heart had only the power to transform the guardians into their guardian forms and to repair the holes formed in the vile.
With all this new information I knew that my request would cause waves some would immediately assume that I was wanting more power while others might listen but only in reluctance.
I asked give the heart a little more power so that I may have more power they ranted and raved before I could even finish my request, stating that it had happened again and that I should be removed as a guardian and especially as the leader.
The oracle seeing something that was different from the previous leader inside me silenced the council and allowed me to complete my request.
I asked for them to allow me a single power a power to absorb any injury that a guardian had my goal was to allow you all to live a happier life without any un due damage for the responsibility of being a guardian.
At this statement both Cornelia and Irma froze in realization at what Will said and were sickened at the thought.
They told me to explain I told them that I saw that all the guardians getting hurt and I heard how you all were having trouble explaining all of the injuries to your parents.
Cornelia's eyes seemed to beg Will to stop talking and Irma was struggling against Caleb in silent protest. She wanted to shake will and make her stop there but she didn't.
Will continued speaking "I asked them to allow me to take all your injuries from you all."
They were astonished they feared I was asking for more power and some were getting ready to fight.
Irma and Cornelia had silent tears falling but it was about to get worse for them Caleb was shaking with grief. He wished he hadn't known what will did and a part of him he was honored to know will while the other part of him was furious at the world for forcing her to make this choice.
Will who was inside the memories of that night not noticing both Cornelia and Irma much less Caleb continued.
They told me that they could do this but they the heart could only help me with only so many injuries and, but while this was happening other injuries would come at a terrible cost.
They would all the heart to gain this power that was the only thing that I could do is absorb the injuries but in order to heal them it needed a new source. With us being guardians our essence became infused with magic so the heart in order to heal them it would take some of my life force.
They all froze at this last statement Irma wanted to grab will and slap her while Cornelia wanted to grow in a coroner and collapse feeling that this was her fault.
Will never stopped talking "knowing that this request would came at a cost I accepted knowing my fate as it stands I may live another 30 years or so. But life is unpredictable and we still have more battles in the future and I will continue to help you all.
Caleb loosening the strength to hold Irma she had fighting harder against him for a while now. Irma raced towards Will crashed into her back. Squeezing hard almost hurting wills ribs again sobbing uncontrolled into her back.
Will surprised by this action almost catapulting into Cornelia who was also crying and apologizing under breath in almost a mantra like manner.
Cornelia was praying that what will said wasn't true but knew form the way that will said it and form her mannerisms.
Will was surprised with Irma's presence but was greatful for it as well. Tears were falling from her eyes just now realizing just the enormity of her actions with both the heart and the powers that she requested.
