I don't own Timecrest right belong to Sneaky Crab

Finally, it's time for the funeral for the trials. The story will go similarly to the story of how the trials took place but from Nikki's point of view of this and the girls also Ash will probably put a few things in here in there.

I know I should've put this storyline in the Valencia story, but it was OK. Don't worry. We'll get to the parts of their homecoming soon, but we need to do these important parts first we get to the homecoming next soon I promise and then we'll get back to their adventures of following Ash after that, they're all from the original story of the game two back to my original story hand. This will be the last one that I promise.

And we might not be able to that's right cause there are still a few adventures. We want to take them on before the homecoming so before we get to the actual homecoming a few adventures that they'll go on for a bit all right then see you.

See you in the chapter.


Nikki's point of view

It was finally time Ash had left after that awkward conversation between him and Luther I had to run Luther's shoulders. I know you're intense I said, as I leaned on him, my sister sighed they said why don't you go and rest the twins said to me I got to them yes thank you, sisters. I said I took Luther's hand in my own, you need to rest a bit. Yes, the funeral is assumed but you need to rest. I said as I took his hand, let us rest together. Agreed I need to carry you now. I said we could walk sides. We're going to your bedroom not we're in your study now we're going to your bedroom now I said, my sister will probably go rest too the rest more than us. I said maybe we should make love are you sure he asked I am I said you were mine now he said that awful guy ain't coming for you. Oh no, Tom ain't coming for me now he can't get inside now. He might've made love with me in my dream space but he can't hear, as I held him in my arms, he held me as well as we walked down the hallway to our bedroom and shut the door.

Teenagers he said it's OK we were teenagers want to darling I said yeah remember how that felt is different for me. He said being a Timecrest and being a teenager was different. It might've been I said, but it wasn't always. I bet you had tough times with your parents too when I was 13 he said yes, but nothing like this who let this for a while and I will make sure he stays straight? I promise I said as I kissed him between us as we love made together again we will be bound soon. Yes, I said smiling and you will break that awful contract. Yes, you will not be. You will not marry him. Never will make sure of that, I laid my strawberry blond head on him and his violet eyes looked down at me, my sweet Nikki he said again, walking his lips kissing, and then letting go we will be. We will be happy. I said yes he said we will be happy and always together you're now Ezra, too I said, I expected that much as you gonna stay my forever I don't know hopefully yes as long as you take care of me I said I don't want a father especially your father, mother, and father favorite, and father. I know that your sister would be there he couldn't have them both at the same time.

We probably would've grown up together if I had lived here I said if my sisters and I had not been kidnapped, we would've met and fallen in love organically do you think Ezra would've allowed it? I would've lived with Porsche. I said I would've lived with Mother and I said I would've grown up with Annalise, grown up with Elise I should say, and well up with Elise, but I would've grown up with her now and blood Moon Haven, but it was fate and now it's because I'm back with you. I'm back once my sister and I take over this place people like Oliver will not have any rules here.

He will not be in charge. I will throw him off the council you can't we won't have a master of lightning don't worry we'll figure out a way I said smiling at him. Will you take Scarlett's place of fire? No, I will not take Scarlett's place I said no no she deserves to be fire, I just needed a spell to use magic to use in the trials I said, and so did my sister's one of them might become the master of illusion and take place right but I doubt they'll sit on the council. Mother will probably not let them sit on the council for a while, but I will sit by your side as long as you sit in the master chair if you don't, I will take Father's chair and the second of Valencia. I said I'll become the second and I'll have more power than ever thought of. I take over a world Alencia will be normal again will be home. Alia will be fine. The two of us purifying people like Alvin will not stand a chance now don't worry about Ash right now. He's probably having a cool-down time in his room. You're right he said I said to him let us get back to what we were doing, we made love again and took a nap together wrapped in each other's arms.

I know I wasn't completely safe, but I was safer. I was in my lover's arms my Timecrest arms. It was hot. It should be it should be. A calming presence fell upon us as we slept and lay there and watched him sleep for a moment and then I fell asleep too.

We needed rest. The funeral

Soon we need to have as much rest as possible.

Especially if we have to deal with Oliver, it'll be my first time seeing him, but it'll be OK. Luther assured me that seeing Oliver would be fine. He isn't going to hurt me at least I hope not he said I'll be fine. I said I saw Oliver already well all right then he said he kissed me and we slept again some more, I can't believe my dream has come true. He said it all dreams will come true and more and you'll take your rifle places princess of this world you'll take your rifle place is the ruler of Valencia. Well, I can't wait for that. Nicole Volder he said you will take your rightful place. I smiled.

A smile knowing that my sisters and I are going to take over this place we're gonna take over Alencia Alencia will be our soon home forever. And soon I will marry him I will marry Luther, my love, my sweet love, but first we have to be bound and then we get married, but not right away the bonding will break the contract between me and Tom and he will never get his hands on me again.

All my wonderful dreams so far have come true. I'm in Valencia. I'm with Luther. I have met my father. I met Ash. I've met a lot of people. This is gonna be a big event.

And now we now we rest and sleep.


Ashes point of view

later at Timecrest Guild

We were now down at the guild I was at least I stood there with the watch open in my hand they asked are you ready to talk about what happened with your brother that conversation what you have experienced with Kronos just a bit ago I said The watch I'm not ready for that right now I said.

OK, then the watch said to me the funeral is wrapping up. I said looking at the watch's face so they gonna talk about what happened the watch asked no I don't think so. Have you spoken to Adam's mom yet? The watch asked I haven't found her yet I said, but I will, I promise to give her Adams gold pouch to her.

Oh, there is Allison. I guess she made it through the trials too. She's standing with her parents and now she's waving at us at me. I'm walking over. Hi, that was weird Ash he said, did you? Did you see him or did I see a ghost? I told her not to worry about it, I saw someone though she said again I saw someone that looked like Agnes. I don't think so. I said that man was an imposter. I think how do you know she asked if her parents were with her she asked my parents if they died in the destruction of Lyle, I said, that is sad she said.

I know I said, or they'd be here too. I hugged her for a moment thanks that makes me feel a little better I said.

Then she asked me who are those 30 they were teammates of mine. I said to Allison I thought you only had a few on your team. I did, but those three are very special, but I can't tell you in the open here who they are Nicole the other waved at me to come to them. I left Allison and went to them for a moment, it's good to see you Noel and Joelle said at the same time Nikki said the same as they hugged me. I'd let them cause it's not their fault that Volder is gone. It's not their fault that Lyle is destroyed. I trusted them, but I didn't trust my brother.

They asked me though if I'm gonna trust them in time for my homecoming for their homecoming party I don't know your brother would want you to come said Joel just knotted. Nikki just stood there, hugging me, please. It means a lot to us too said if you can make up before the party, that would be nice Ash, then you could be with us and it'll be wonderful. I guess I could try. That's all we asked for. Come on then you can be family.

It would be nice if the two of you stayed by my side during this I don't have the three of you. I don't have my parents. We are lovely. We would love to. We are your team after all Joel Noel knotted OK girls then I hold you to it. They even told me that one day this is all going to change. They'll be in charge of this guild soon I smile knowing that they might. I don't like head, guild master crane. If you could take over his field master's, that would be nice. Don't worry, we will not let the guild fall into disrepair under our watch if that could happen one day don't worry about anything.

Then Roger came up to us hi Roger I said hi Roger said hi girls he said knowledge of them and not to them. Hello again Roger they said all three and in unison terrible how those trials and all those people who died wasn't it? Yes, they up an accident, but I don't think so. I don't know. Allison said coming back to our group, I think she had something else to say to me. I forgot to tell you when I saw him though it was weird. Allison said how so we all asked even Roger was curious to know what was said.

I accidentally said what awesome power and then he just destroyed my team in front of me but didn't kill me. I think he just wanted me to witness me watching my team burn to death. Said Allison, now I don't have a team anymore.

You can become part of our team I said to Allison the girls nodded. I don't know what AC and Elise would think but I think you should. Allison said you have no team and you're all by yourself. Allison smiled OK Ash I would like that I will take up that with your author, I took Allison's hand and said a new teammate for us.

Sides having two fire mages would be great on our team I can cast all elements of magic. Nikki said, and my sisters can too Allison's eyes wide, and at the thought of this what do you mean by that Allison asked my sister's cat are not my sisters cause I don't have any, but Noel and Joelle cast spell over the over this over our little group, we can cast all elements of magic said and at the same time because we are because we are the daughters at the first Allison eyes wide. I already knew this and Roger already knew that's incredible. Maybe you three should be people I should look up to now, yes and we would look forward to having you our team will probably not be part of the team for long though why asked I said because they wanted to become guild Masters of the guild which makes sense. We wanna try and climb the ranks as quickly as possible so we can become guild Masters and Masters on the council won't be any master on the council. We can't go into those details right now, that makes sense Allison said.

Then the girls released their protective bubble and we continued our normal conversation. Roger left and went to do his thing. I'm gonna go read interest Home he says as he won't off I waved as he left and then I saw Porsche well I didn't know it was Porsche, but I saw Elise with someone, the girls said they ran to her and hugged her. Elise hugged them too. Elise said Nikki, Noel, and Joelle. She said what have you been talking to Ash about anything and everything I can tell you were blushing not about something else Elise said talking to Nikki oh it's nothing. Nikki said you can tell me later we're sisters right I'll tell you later, I heard Nicole say Nikki will you join us for the rest of our conversation not right now I'm doing something with Porsche with Mother. She said I can't believe they're still calling her mom. I didn't know that I had other business to attend of course you do Noel said you're always busy and never have time to come to slow down for anything. I always have to be busy she says.

No, I'll ask. Have you seen Father not lately? I think Riley has gone to see him. Oh, that doesn't sound good at all. No, it doesn't for me. It does settle the lease. I don't like being in Riley's presence but well, I hope things work out. Yes, Porsche looked at me, she said how are you? I am fine. You must be's mother oh dear no said Porsche but if you wanna think of me that way then yes.

Noel, Joelle, and Nikki's mother thought she said that's right the girl said Porsche is our mother as well along with Ezra as our father they said this way Porsche you wanted to visit the merchant right? Elise said taking Porsche's hand oh she's just she's just in a hurry because she's embarrassed to have her mother here said Porsche. I'm never embarrassed by you Porsche said Elise come on. Let us go see the merchant now I waited goodbye to the lease and her mother. She left our group and hugged the girls one more time before they left, I told her all these things. I told my human friend all these things when I saw it happen but I wanted to ask the girls the truth, but they won't tell me anything right now.

If you ever be able to trust your brother, then we'll tell you we would tell you everything but you have to trust lose their first they said why would I trust Kronos? He's a murderer don't make Nikki cry. I'm sorry I don't wanna make Nikki cry. You three have been very nice to me ever since you all arrived. I said I took the girl's hands well one because I had to watch the other hand.

And you know we have to follow you everywhere I knew that I knew my brother one of these girls to follow me everywhere. I went not just because they were part of the team, but if the team decided to do their own thing, and I decided to do my own thing, they still had to come with me no matter where we went. It's like he made a bodyguard or something.

Yes, we are your bodyguards now I can't believe this. Why would he? It's for your protection Noel said Joel not at an agreement and Nikki said yes and besides, we're fond of you kid we love you very much.

And we don't want anything to happen to you, Mr. There after that stood there for the moment we saw Guild Master Crane people were around him and arguing with him about people dying in the trials parents who were angry that their children had died in these trials one parent said that they wouldn't let their child join if that would've happened knowing they would might die.

People just hung around him then people were handing out the remains of their children. A lot of them were faced and earned, but not one there was one woman who got her bought her baby in an eight box and I guess there were just salvage pieces of her son left in it, my baby, my baby, my Adam, she said.

Can you tell me what happened to my poor boy? I'm gonna go talk to her now I said as I left the girls for a moment they trailed behind me, though I didn't like that, but what else was I supposed to do to watch I should tell Adam or tell her, his mother that Connor killed him and they agreed for me to tell the truth and that's what I did and I close the Watch for a moment.


Ash is talking to Adam's mom

I walked up to her and took her hand, ma'am. I am sorry I wasn't part of his team, but I didn't know him long either, he wanted me to give you this hand in the gold pouch to her sister, handing the gold pouch to Adam's mom, but I wasn't the one who killed him. I had nothing to do with his death. The girl standing behind me reassured me of that, Ash had been with us this whole time even in the trials we were far behind them. Nicole said oh OK then OK she said the gold was from Connor. He was part of his team. Connor killed him, but he was dying before we even got there and I made him comfortable for the last few moments. He told me to promise to tell you that and give you this it'll make you better that you have at least his earnings most of it and then the rest from Connor from his dirty trick. What do you mean Adam's mother asked me.

I'm guessing that Connor blackmailed your son to not speak about whatever I don't know to keep quiet about whatever I have no idea but I'm guessing he was upset so he killed him and smooshed him in rocks between rocks. I don't know about the girl that was on his team, but you caught Adam is the only one I knew about.

I was there and I closed his eyes to leave me she seemed to and she nodded her head in agreement. OK, Adam's mom said, but I still have to speak to the guild Masters about this, but I'm telling the truth ma'am I understand but still, I don't know if I can completely believe you, and she walked off. Away from us well that was unpleasant said Noel agreed Joelle said Nikki just knotted her head and hugged me. You did well thanks. I guess I said.

But I guess it wasn't all over because cause she hadn't left the area yet one of the parents grabbed a hold of the headmaster elation that commented the twins. Yes, Nikki said they shouldn't have had Gil's master crane. They grabbed him by the collar. I said oh that is not good. Of course, that parent looks angry too oh yes.

There's nothing worse than an angry parent oh yes, we used to be that way yes for Nikki's safety with our parents. I'll tell you that story sometime. I just noted an agreement with them OK?

Bring back our children's headmaster crane the guy said yes said another. If you can't then let Kronos do it. Tell Master Kronos to come down from ION. We want to have an audience with him. We know you can get us one head, guild, and master crane. Wow, this is getting messy. Agreed if we were the guild masters we are guild masters in training. We shall not confront the head guild master crane right now. Oh yes, he doesn't look very happy. Agreed I am afraid he started to say when a flash of light and Kronos appeared..

I saw Nikki trying to run to him, but Noel Joelle pulled him back for the moment not now precious precious sister you will hug him later. He looks determined and he doesn't look happy right now. I knew that she knew that too. Yeah, I said he looked upset.

The parent let go of had Guild master crane collar, and he fell to the ground, not quite, though he just let go he dusted himself off, and he frowned Luther at Kronos as he came into the room into the area. I was telling these things to watch too.

I saw him walk over to the woman to Adam's mother and take her hand as he helped her up to her feet after begging at him, he climbed her hands as she stood up. The people clapped the girls clapped too.

If I could, I would, he said I would bring back every child in person who was lost in this trial. You all have seen what I could do for Alencia to keep it safe and protected you have seen when I can do to protect Alencia.

And had guild master cream, whispered something in Kronos is here then he said I must go. I must speak to the guild Masters and begin our fight. I will fight for a world for all of us that we deserve spread the word that Kronos will fight for you everyone cheered.

I can't believe he made that speech he stood by his promise Noel and Joelle said yeah OK I said looking at them Nikki just knotted her head as she waved at him.

He slowed down for a moment.

And then he looked at her and walked over to us mostly to speak to her, not to me.


Nikki one of you

I waved at Luther. He weighed back at me, but he couldn't slow down for a moment but he did anyway I saw Headmaster Crane frown again. Why are you stopping? He asked. I need to do something. I heard him say as he walked towards me the group didn't see obviously, but he saw me for the time the moment I was hoping you'd see me for a moment. I was only down here for a tiny little bit. He says to me for a moment, running his hands through my hair and kissing me. Did you mean everything you said of course, I know you would I know what you'll do for this place I said I held him tightly against me. I love you. I love you too my sweet Nikki. I'll see you when we get home. OK where are you heading well, I don't know yet he said quietly. I'll be home soon. Keep us out of trouble and laugh, don't worry. I will do my best to keep Ash out of trouble I said and I'll get him to you soon precious I know and the war is coming again. I know that I said our peace isn't going to end peace ain't gonna last forever, but I wanna try to get him to trust you before then before our big party yes for your sister and you to homecoming celebrate the return of the first mages children. He says he held me closer and our engagement darling smiled. You're going to. I'm not gonna bow myself to you yet. It won't be an abiding ceremony, but I will get engaged to you before then and then, then the binding ceremony, but I'll announce our engagement when you announce it into the world.

And I will talk to your father again or I already did, but we'll have our public engagement, darling that I promise and it'll be a bigger celebration than what I had with Riley on her timeline he kissed me deeply for a long time for a moment are you upset that I stopped you from walking away not he says but I need to go now. I'll see you when we get home of course and I will make you mine again. I smiled. I know you have adventures to go on and the team as well so I'll give you good luck and be careful OK as we kiss again, I will be. I'll be back soon. Behave yourself I will I said.

Be more like Ash needs to behave and I will make sure he'll be safe. Of course, you will. He kissed me again and left, and I stood there. I watched him leave with the head guild. Master gave me the death and a death stare as he left shivers, ran down my spine as he stared at me. Don't worry he'll have no authority soon, I want to take our place as my sister reassured me people like Oliver will not get away with things I think he knew what I knew. I said what do you mean? I think he knew that I knew that he was the one who set up the proper trials and deaths oh right as we were able to speak again time was frozen for the two of us to speak obviously and time started moving again. I was going on Ash asked none of your business we all three said why are you three so close to Luther to Kronos we cannot explain that to you and tell you to earn his trust again now come on looking at something.


Ash's point of view

Indeed, I was looking at something. The new requests have come in. It was a scouting mission, but due to the time because of what happened in the trials, we had the travelers groups and went teleporting directly out of the guild is forbidden to take one of the main gates to get out, but we can teleport inside here and we can teleport outside the guild. We can't directly teleport out of the guild's ridiculous rule cranes I heard my sister say or not my sister but the girls say I have no sisters. Why do I keep saying that to your sister like I do love the girls so much OK then?

The quest was, I explained to the human and the girls. This is a trip to the nightshade forest. It's a new quest that just came in here at the ministration chambers. I told him to sign me up for this quest. The reward is 200 gold for those who can complete it, what's the point of this particular quest the girls asked me well. I said people had been thinking there was a ghost there and a great moaning was coming from the place. Our job is to figure out what that is. Also, a woman with a bone mask has been seen there lately roaming the forest to find the rest of our team or we could just go ourselves, but we can only take the main gate. We can only take one of the main gates and we can't teleport directly out of here, right of course.

But can you wait a moment why do we need to put something I need to show my human something and then we will get ready for this. I want to find the rest of my teammates, but to do that I need to do something.

Allison also came up to join us. Oh great an adventure she says I want to join this quest to know that I'm part of your team. She says all right then Allison.

Can you wait for a moment Allison nodded as she stood with us now let us see here.

I said I drew a map I said to the human, I drew a map of Timecrest and put it here in the pouch for now it does not have all the guild places, but it's not completely accurate, but I want to show you where I spend most of my time blocks, we can find my teammates.

Extra blocks were added block D was added because of the girl's last name Delrose I added that on here, Lexi, and block M were added now let us go find my teammates. Oh also I made you a world map to is nowhere near complete, but I'll put it in the pouch for now, let us go.

I'm in the ministration chambers or do you want to head next?


Ending chapter here, I hope you like the little twist I added, added an Allison to the team. The rest of the team doesn't know about this, though they'll find out about it soon enough also, where do you think they'll head let me know which place they'll go to next to look for the rest of the ashes team I hope you're enjoying a twist of fate and I hope you're enjoying Nikki's adventures with Ash as well as with Luther she used to spend both times with both siblings as much as possible She gets to act like this big sister figure her friend to him and so does the other girls too. I hope you're enjoying this and I hope you enjoy this part as well. Don't worry party will be soon. See you then.

in the next chapter, the adventure begins where do you think they'll head off to all right you'll see you soon enough. I'll see you in the next chapter.

Next chapter chapter 25
