All 5 gathered in front of the gate with their packs on their backs.
They just knew about Oumad and Joshou's decision to stay, they thought for a moment if it was okey staying more too, but no!
They all got something to get back to...
Herald felt sad about it but he understood the reasons behind Oumad's decision.
*As they were waiting for Guiado*
Sebastin. "Look at you Herald, you certainly got stronger."
Herald takes a look at himself, he did not realise how the physical training made him look different.
"Oh! I just realised...
You too actually!"
Beazly. "Look at these beautiful muscles!"
*He flexs his biceps*
Ayla. "Hhhahahahaha. can't show it but my thighs look solid too."
Sebastin. "No you can!"
Ayla. "Shut up little boy."
Elara. "It was nice knowing you all..."
Everybody looked and smiled.
"Yeah, certainly..." Said Beazly
"Will it be the last time we meet?" Sebastin asked.
Herald. "I doubt.
Am afraid the next time we'll be meeting, we won't be having enough time to smile and be happy about it."
Ayla. "Why are you pessimistic Herald?"
Herald. "No...Am just saying.
I hope i am wrong!"
"Greetings!"
The tall man in a long coat has arrived!
Herald. "Guiado! Been quite some time."
Guiado takes a moment to see through the eyes of Herald.
"Yes it was. Glad to see you all in good shape.
How are you Elara?
They made sure to treat you properly didn't they?"
Elara. "Yes, better than i would have asked."
Guiado. "It is time then."
Herald looks back towards the Majestic Guardians.
"Thank you, sir Galahad and Sahaqiel!"
Sahaqiel. "It was our pleasure."
Ayla. "I wanted to play another time with your lion, take care of him for me."
Sahaqiel whistles and brings the lightning lion from the sky.
Who came running towards Ayla and rubbing his big head on her body, like a sweet cat!
"Going to miss you, Herald." Said Elara in a very low tune for him only to hear it.
Herald looked surprised and lowered his head.
"Same here, take care of yourself and don't run away anymore."
In a matter of a second, as everybody were looking towards each other...
They found themselves in the spot where they were taken from, except for Ayla who was brought in by Alkeyder himself!
Guiado had to teleport her right in front of her house's door.
Elara was left last, he had to enter with her and reassure her parents of her safety and well being
...
Sebastin. "Here I am again, in this crowded dark city..."
...
Beazly was the one who was most happy about coming back, but he was also worried whether his people are all good, As soon as he was landed on his homeland he run as fast as he could, covering so much distance with one jump.
Until he arrived! Kids were the first to spot him, and surrounded him like a champion.
"BROTHER BEAZLY!!!" Was what they were all shouting.
The rockus made by them notified the elders, who came out of their little tents.
"Am back!" Beazly said with a very wide smile.
Ayla looks at the door for a moment, she certainly misses her parents very much.
But she thought at that moment about every little thing that happened during the last 3 months, how much of a changed human being she is from when she first went out of it to now!
"Will that have any impact?" Was the question she had in mind.
However she can't restrain her feelings anymore, she enters and yells.
Mommaaaa!! Papaaaa!! I am back."
"My daughter!!" An old lady's voice was heard saying.
Ayla runs towards the room, to find her two old geezers getting ready to get up for their daughter, with very happy expressions on their faces.
"No No! Just stay still am coming." Ayla takes off her shoes and hugs them both very tightly.
Her mother."Ooh baby! How much we missed you here...
It was so exhausting not having to see you everyday!"
Ayla. "Mama...Am sorry! I miss you so much..."
"Welcome my daughter! Tell us how was it?" Her father asked.
Ayla. "Will do but first let me prepare some very tasty food for this occasion!"
...
"Oh! Sir Guiado you came back...
Welcome in!"
A man in his middle ages, with glasses on and a nice looking hair openned the door.
It was Elara's father.
"Hey dad!"
"Elara! Welcome home sweetheart."
*She hugs him tightly, it is very rare when Elara does express herself through physical contact even with her parents. So her father did not waste that opportunity"
"I am glad, welcome back to your home."
He then asks Guiado to take a seat, so the three of them can discuss what presumably happened in the past 3 months.
Elara asks. "Where is mom?"
"She'll soon be here, she'll be glad to find you."He replied.
...
As for The Chosen One, he stood in the middle of the street gazing up longer than he realized.
He was in deep thinking.
"These streets...My place and my people! Or are they?
My Muruem..."
It's been quite some time since they contacted each other, in the last month they'll only talk through texts and about once a week or so...
I mean what else could one say after 3months.
Herald walks towards his house, he looked arround to see whether Zobach is nearby but he didn't spot him.
"Probably she's not home by now either.." He said refferring to Muruem.
Pulled the keys and opened the door, and even knowing that there is no human being in there.
He said loudly.
"Hey! Am back here."
