"Al Krelin?" I say.
"Yes, Adam it's me." Al Krelin smiles. "I don't want to leave yet though....."
"Wait no-" I attempt to speak.
Though I was brought back to reality. Then I was in instant fear when I saw the large dark figure looking towards my direction. Right as I see an arm prepare to swing and hit me, I wake into my physical body.
In fear and shock I gasp for air and look around me. I see Lucas' face and realize where my head is resting.
"How are you feeling?" Lucas smiles.
"I..." I say.
"We know that the two of you are in love, focus." Klotic says.
I then sit up and look away, embarrassed Lucas softly smiles and I do the same. Julio looks at us confused and speaks to Marcus.
"Is love among the same gender allowed?" Julio whispers.
"We can hear you, Julio." I say.
"It was only a question of wonder." Julio sighs.
"Adam, were you able to contact Al?" Klotic asks.
"No... it seemed as if he did not want to go..." I say. "Take me back, I will make it possible."
"I cannot do that, they took note of your spirit." Klotic says. "They recognize you as the reincarnation who attempted to revive the immortal moon elf who has slayed many of their people."
"Oh." I say. "Well what about the woman he was with? I had seen her before but I do not know who she is."
"Al's partner, Talia, she is also known as Jalia." Klotic explains. "She is a mystical being kept within the castle, guarded by the king's children."
"His lover is a mystical being?" I say. "That is interesting..."
"Jalia was turned into this being, she was once human." Klotic says. "Now she is one who can grow to be more powerful than anyone in Soltica lands."
"I see." I say.
"We must go and prepare for another attempt to revive Al Krelin." Klotic says. "Hang on."
In an instant we are brought back near the gates and in front of Flinda's shop. Klotic walks inside the shop and comes out with a 'perfectly fine' Jacob.
"Jacob!" Marcus runs over. "Are you feeling well?"
"Yes, Marcus, I am feeling much better than before." Jacob laughs. "I thank you for you concern, though worry not, I do feel amazing."
"I see, wonderful." Marcus smiles.
I see this and feel relieved as the two walk back to us. Klotic sighs and clears his throat as he gathers our attention.
"You will all be staying with the Xil's household until we are able to go back into the castle." Klotic says. "Any objections?"
None of us other than Marcus has a beaming smile on his face. Klotic sighs and continues to walk past the side shop. Then when he is closer, he stops in front of a blonde elf who is wearing an apron and holding a bowl of crackers.
"Everyone, meet Calfia Xil." Klotic says. "She will be watching over you while you stay within the 3rd city."
"Are you a relative of Jastria?" Marcus was eager to ask. "You must be!"
"Indeed I am, Calfia, eldest sister of the family and most responsible." Calfia says. "Jastria has made many decisions within her life of which is unfortunate but we forgive."
"Jastria, where is she?" I ask.
"Helping up in the kitchen." Calfia smiles. "Here, try some frittle crackers."
"Oh, frittle crackers!" Marcus takes many of them and eats.
"Not so many, Marcus." Jacob says. "It can make you sick…"
"Listen to your friend." Calfia says. "Now, come inside, Jastria is waiting for you."
We follow Calfia inside the ginormous and luxurious house. Seeing generations of family pictures and sculptures of them along the way. Making our way into the waiting room we are told to take a seat. Klotic stands and looks around us at more of the pictures. After a little while of waiting someone rushes into the room.
"I apologize if I made you wait too long!" A voice is heard from behind.
"Jastria." Klotic smiles.
"Klotic." Jastria says. "Everyone, it is wonderful to finally meet you, I have been waiting for years."
"You had known we were coming?" I stand. "If so, why had you not come looking for us to help?"
"I may know though not who it may be." Jastria sighs. "Patience is a virtue, though I know not your names."
"These are Jacob Flairen II, Julio Lenez, Marcus Trivius, and Lucas Blemoch. I am Adam, Adam Silvia." I say. "The reincarnation of Al Krelin"
Quickly, Jastria walks closer to me and examines my facial features. Awkwardly I look away as she is staring in my eyes. Then she finally backs away and I release my tension.
"It is true…" Jastria turns to Klotic. "The similarities in his facial structure, though he is much kinder."
Klotic laughs. "Indeed, but he must redeem Al Krelin soon. I fear there may be some of the dark lands who will use his body as a shell for their own."
"Do you remember which had fallen by Al Krelin?" Jastria staggers in thought.
"I would suppose it was a wizard named Hallihun." Klotic thinks.
"No, no, some who was of more importance…" Jastria looks up. "Oh no…"
Jastria and Klotic both look to each other and look to the five of us. Confused and in fear we see their faces change into terror.
"The dark lord was one who Al slayed long ago…" Jastria sits down. "Klotic, he was one of the most powerful of them all, only Al could defeat. What can we do now?"
"Hm…" Klotic says. "Adam."
"Yes?" I say.
"Are you willing to fight the dark lord at his weakest?" Klotic asks.
"This may be a sacrifice in the process but if you choose to we will give you assistance." Jastria says.
"I…" I say.
I look to the others and they quickly shake their heads. Lucas had a different response.
"Choose for yourself." Lucas smiles.
I look back to Jastria and Klotic. Pondering for a bit I then speak to respond.
"I am willing to sacrifice myself for Al Krelin." I say. "What must be done will be done, you cherish Al Krelin and I will cherish with being."
"Thank you." Jastria tears up.
Klotic nods, "We are grateful of you, Adam."
I nod back and look to Lucas who I see is still smiling for me. I am going to go against the dark lord in my creator's vessel, this will be quite the story.
