I looked up to see Legion standing in front of me his head slightly tilted to the side. The second I looked into his amethyst eyes I felt every emotion bring it's self back to the surface. His brow frowned but no other emotion showed on his face. Tears began falling from my eyes I couldn't hold them back any longer.
"Legion take me home."
He opened his arms. I took it as an invitation and wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his chest. A shiver ran down my spine but I pushed it aside it's something I have become used to in his presence. For the first time I noticed he carried a scent of sage and cloves. He arms wrapped around me and my body relaxed finally letting go of all the pain I was holding in I would of clasped to the ground if he hadn't been holding me up.
"Of course, but I would like to take you somewhere first."
Then suddenly the wind was knocked out of me it felt like a punch to the chest. The sound of wind was so loud as it blew passed me then it all stopped I opened my eyes looking through the tears we was on the edge of a forest lined with spruce trees.
"Where are we?"
My voice trembled a little.
"It was once your favorite place look up."
The sky above me danced with different colored lights and more stars then I have ever seen.
"Its beautiful Legion, but even something as breath taking as this doesn't mask the fact my world just shattered into a million pieces."
"You would come here before in your other life even Azrael and Lucifer didn't know of this place."
"But you knew about it?"
"Even then Solaris you confided in me I still don't understand why."
"I think I know why we could trust you. You don't want anything from me at least it doesn't feel that way. Everything seems to slow down even now all that anger, betrayal and pain I was feeling seems to all but disappeared. Why is that?"
"Part of what I am I suppose I'm responsible for helping souls move on to stop them from getting stuck in between so I calm them they trust me just the effect I have."
"Thank you for helping me it feels good to have a friend."
Legion was different he didn't have an arterial motive he just was. A supernatural with no soul nothing to cause jealousy or anger he can't love or hate he just is.
"You are the All Mother with out you life couldn't exist, with out life there's no death and we have no purpose. So your also our purpose."
Purpose? That's everyone's question what our purpose is. Everyone seems to have one for me I never felt so lost so hurt so alone even when. I was running at least then I didn't know what it was like to bonded to someone to give everything you have to someone for them to be the one who betrayed and hurt you the most.
"Why am I here Legion why did you all decide to bring me back? Why the spell."
"You asked me to. The spell was necessary to make the vessel strong enough to contain your essence."
Of course I did. So I'm a true freak.
"So my mother she new what would happen to the child she carried."
"Yes she volunteered."
"My mother gave up the life of her true child make it possible for me to be reincarnated? Why would she do that. Why do you call me the All Mother I don't have any kind of abilities just my light which destroys more then it creates or helps anyone."
"Her belief in you. Your return was planned before your passing. You are the All Mother."
Could he be more candid?
"Okay what dose it mean to be the All Mother?"
"It's the next stage of your evolution. The form you take now is more able then your previous. You have power of life, power over earth and the other elements, but also over the dead and Hell you have no need for Azrael in this life."
"That can't be true. The pull to him I have I felt from the moment I could hear Aurora. And I have no such powers."
"You choose to be bonded to him. Aurora and Anubis maybe fated mates but you and Azrael are not at least not in this form. The abilities have always been in you but your mother bound your power. She had her reasons for doing so I can help you break the binding."
"How can you say we are not fated look at me I'm covered In The proof these are the injuries I did to him."
"That I have no answer for."
Of course he didn't.
"Legion Thank you for bringing me to this amazing place but I need to go home I need some time alone to figure out what I need to do next."
"Of course Solaris."
Like last time he open his arms and I wrapped my mine around his chilled form. And seconds later I was in my apartment. I have lost all track of time I don't even remember the last time I was in this place. It still smells the same lilacs and vanilla. I Step say from Legion and take a look around everything seemed to be in it's place. Expect on the table was my bag Alistair had collected for me and next to that my leather pouch with my necklace ring and bracelet. And finally a vile holding red liquid and a note.
Little Wolf
I leave you with a piece of me. Our journey is not yet finished. There is so much more you need to know that only I can tell. When the pain becomes to much call to me.
I felt like screaming he was here and now that I stand here I can smell his sandalwood and campfire scent. It warmed my heart when I wanted to feel was ice.
"He was here!"
"Yes and someone else to."
Legion was looking to the front door I fallowed his gaze to see Micah standing still as a statue except his mouth was moving I couldn't hear what he was saying and he was staring at nothing. He looked awful like one of the spirits who get stuck.
"What's wrong with him Legion?"
"He's been here to long he starting to turn into one of the forgotten."
He can't! Not Micah he doesn't deserve this.
"Why he's always been so happy?'
"He had you. In your absence there was no one he lost purpose."
I tried to get him to at least look at me.
"Micah it's me Soul I'm here please come back to me I'm so sorry I left you. Micah please!"
His eyes shifted a bit and his lips stopped moving.
"Legion what can we do?"
"I can send him to Gehenna?"
"Isn't that like purgatory no he doesn't deserve that."
"You are the All Mother even the dead revere you command him."
The only thing I could think of doing was the alpha call it's the same thing right?
"Micah! I Command You Look at me!"
Slowly his eyes shifted towards me.
"Good. Now Micah snap out of it came back to me hear my voice I'm here."
He stood a little straighter and eyes actually focused on me and moved up and down.
"Soul?"
I released a breath I didn't realize I was holding.
"Yes. Micah it's me."
"What happened to you?"
"I have had quite a journey and have so much to tell you."
"How long has it been and whats that an elf?"
He pointed to Legion. I can't believe Micah can see him I thought he never showed his true form.
"This is Legion he's well boss reaper."
I shrugged my shoulders
"A Reaper! Oh Hells No! You anits takin me.!"
He started to back up trying to get as far away from Legion as he could.
"Micah it's okay he's a friend he's not going to take you anywhere. Not while I'm here."
Legion just looked at me then to Micah and shock his head and I knew in that moment I just made a promise I couldn't keep.
"Solaris he can not stay here much longer you may have pulled him back for now but soon he will loose him self and even you will not be able to bring him back. I can take him to his final rest."
Micah was scared it was written all over his face I knew Legion was right but I didn't want to let him go he had been with me for so long.
"He will not move on until you can fully let him go your part of the reason he's still here"
"Okay Legion I get it."
I half yelled at him, but he showed no emotion just a nod. I had to tell Micah good bye I know I have to but to feel his loss along with Azrael is going to be to much. I wanted to tell him everything that happened to me. For him to tell me what a piece of shit Azrael is. For him to tell me he was going to go poltergeist on his ass. I knew if I did I would never be able to convince him to move on. He would want to stay with me keep an eye on me, so I couldn't I had to let him go.
"Micah you know I love you. You have been by my side keeping me sane, keeping me from ever being alone but you need to let go I need to let you go if you stay you will completely loose yourself to the darkness Legion can take you somewhere you will be happy somewhere I know you will be safe and at peace."
"Soul I cants just leaves you."
"Yes you can a lots changed with me since I saw you last I'm the All Mother now and a Angel I can visit you in Heaven your not really leaving me."
Micah looked to me then to Legion and smiled a half grin at me and nodded.
"You bests not bes lyin to me. I'll come back and haunts your hooker ass."
"Of course not. I'm going to miss you so much Micah I'll never forget you."
"Alights then comes on Gouly bring your beautiful purple eyed self over here and take my perfect ass to Heaven they donts know whats be waitin for them."
Legion made his way to me and grab my hands his amethyst eyes looking in to what felt like my soul.
"Solaris once I leave you all the emotion that has been held back by my presence will revel it's self."
"I'll be okay please take care of Micah."
"As you wish just call to me when needed."
Just like that they were gone. I stood there in the middle of my apartment waiting for the wave of emotion Legion said would over take me. All I noticed was the silence the emptiness that surrounded me. Aurora hasn't made a peep sence our altercation with Azrael. I know this has hit her hard and while I have been trying to ignore it she's been feeling every bit of it even in the presence of Legion. What I felt now was sadness it was pain a very physical one I'm not sure if it's from the distance between me and Azrael or the betrayal, but a rock formed in the middle of my chest. Cutting off all air to my lungs I found my self trying to grasp at it, but nothing was there. My throat felt as if it was closing water started pouring from my eyes as I fought to get air back into my lungs. My knees buckled and I fell to the floor finally I was able to bring in air only to be let out in a sorrowful scream. The sound a mother would make over the lose of her child the sound a widower makes as she watches the coffin of her fallen soldier and the family has to pry her away. I cried for the lose of Micah for the trust I gave to Azrael forever broken for my mother for Aurora and Anubis for my what now seems like a utterly and completely alone eternity before me.
