"Fara… you reached this, bad news it is. But, also the most obvious one, Rahambose happened of course and that was obvious. Met the first warrior…? I mean, I hope you did. And also a team of quality. I miss mine though… even now we are three, not bad actually," Fara said and dropped the cup of tea to the table.
She continued. "One makes tea and the other just is like an overprotective brother by my side. They might have gone by the time you are seeing this vision… I hope you have someone with you, like them. If you do, then grab them… grab them tight and don't let go. Just because you live in an age where world destruction is happening and you have to stop it… you don't have to do it alone. You don't have to just do this one thing. Live… we had many lives and none I can remember where I lived it. Well, barely remember any after one of us erased our memories for good, somehow," Fara frowned.
Ages of sorrow seemed to fill her eyes as it glittered with tears. Varun felt like he was in his wolf-form and feel hear her throbbing heart clearly.
"This last one… well it will end too, doesn't matter. I'll have another chance… which is you, however weird that might sound. So, just take it slow, don't rush it and make friends who understand you. Life isn't about one thing or one path. It is a hundred years gift of doing something, not just one thing. And to be with people you choose to be with," Fara said.
She walked closer. "My dear… myself, just don't waste the one which could be your last one. Maybe that is what Rahambose needs too… but be careful, he can and will try and kill you. Just… be yourself and with people around you. It's one hell of a life to live and die as a hero…"
The old Fara seemed to turn towards Varun and smiled at him. All three snapped back to where they were and just shook the buzzy feeling off their head.
"I saw it too," Manasie said.
"Yeah… me too. You grow up to be so wise?" Varun asked mocking Fara.
"That's me… live with it," Fara said and sat down.
"Do you feel tired after that?" Manasie asked.
"Not really, but revealed of things. It just flashed back to me at once and that seems normal to me," Fara said.
"Ok, better than being tired," Manasie said.
"Your visions can reach people even planets afar. That is so cool girl," Varun said.
"Yeah… not as cool as fighting people," Fara said.
"You really still upset on that?" Varun asked.
"Attear picks the worthy one and makes them stronger. I was there and only I didn't get the Trigon thing. I'm not worthy," Fara said.
"Everything happens for a reason… that must've too. Nothing in this world can measure your worth," Manasie said.
"Listen to her… she is always right," Varun said. "Unlike sometimes she isn't. But she's good at the talk."
"Unlike you," both Fara and Manasie said and laughed.
"Girls know me so well… so-so well," Varun sighed.
"Guys… guys! A helicopter is here for some reason," Aria said running towards Varun and Fara.
"What in the world?" Varun asked.
"Why, is that bad?" Manasie asked.
"Of course it is," Varun said.
"I was cracking a joke. Well, now go!" Manasie said.
Varun put on the stone and turned into his armour. Aria led Fara and Varun ahead to a spot where the guys were hiding.
"What took you so long?" Jiant asked in a low tone.
"Well, knowing more about Fara and stuff," Varun said.
"Well, be here now," Jiant said pointing down to the ground.
"Yes, yes I'm now," Varun nodded his head.
"You guys asked for the authorities and seems they are here," Jay said pointing at a helicopter landing at the road and its blades stopped rotating.
"Never make me land in such a place again, with all due respect sir," a guy from inside the helicopter said in a polite but pissed off tone.
"Well, sorry man. This is very important than you can think," a guy said and jumped out of the helicopter.
"Always a pleasure being with you sir, but, we weren't supposed to come here," the first guy said again, still inside the helicopter.
"You ask a lot of questions Lispe," the guy said looking at every direction around the helicopter.
This one seemed to be wearing just a tank top but also didn't seem to feel a thing. What kind of a guy was he? He looked human but looked dangerous too.
"Still awaiting a little explanation however," Lispe said.
"Give him a break laddie," a third voice came. "Let him enjoy working for once."
"Shut up you two," the guy outside said.
He turned to the team's direction but couldn't spot them. Varun could see the guy now. Tall, handsome, wearing goggles and one scarf, he looked like he was in a hurry to get here.
"Fara… where are you? Fara!" the guy screamed, putting his hands together to his mouth's sides.
"Ignore the desperateness in that tone," the third voice said from inside the helicopter.
"Fara… do you know this guy?" Varun asked and looked at where Fara was before, she had disappeared.
"Where did she go?" Aria asked.
Fara was walking ahead towards the guy, the guy just stood there straight and stunned, looking at her walk towards him. He had the expression of a long lost lover meeting with his significant other. Or at least, that was a line Varun wanted to tease Fara with later.
"Fara," he said in the lowest of tones.
"He is so like Snow from Final Fantasy thirteen," Varun laughed.
"Tarragon El Tahlsmen," Fara said.
"You remember me… I would tear up if I could. You look so young now," Tarragon said in a crying tone.
"You are one to talk about looking young," Fara scoffed.
Varun ran forward without thinking twice and put himself in between Tarragon and Fara.
"Ok, family reunion explanation needed," Varun said, raising his hand towards Tarragon.
"Wow, who is this crack head in shining armour?" Tarragon asked.
"One more pun on the armour and you'll have to face a being you don't want to face," Varun warned.
"One of the many I collected in this life," Fara said.
"Way for my explanation now 'The Collector'. Before I try something on your long lost brother, Grandmaster here," Varun said looking at Fara and pointing at Tarragon.
"He is my friend from my previous life with 'The IMPERFECTS'," Fara said.
"Ok… good enough currently," Varun said lowering his hand.
"Everyone come out now, it's fine," Fara said turning back to the team.
Everyone came out and walked to Varun and Fara.
"Big team just for eighteen years," Tarragon breathed out from his mouth.
"Ok, how are you alive?" Fara asked.
"That is rude, Fara. Rude as the time you suggested me to lose my arm," Tarragon said.
"Not just him," the third voice came from inside the helicopter.
Everyone looked inside the helicopter and saw a young guy in the pilot seat; he greeted them throwing a two finger salute.
"Not the handsome man. Look in the back seat for a popping old head," the voice said.
Everyone looked at the back seat and there was an opaque incubator kind-of thingy with a head floating inside it in transparent liquid.
"Wassup laddies and ladies?" the head asked.
"What in the world happened to you Ivor?" Fara asked.
"He chose that way of reincarnation in front of Satan," Tarragon said.
"Reincarnation…?" Fara asked.
"How much ever they say it is dragon-based. It is just a robot tech and probably involving Satan I would say. Thanks to remind me that again Tar. I hate every living second of it," Ivor said.
"I chose to be fully functional. And he wanted to celebrate Halloween even at Christmas," Tarragon sighed looking around.
"That is why you are in a tank top," Varun said. "Cause you are a robot and don't feel cold."
"I do, I just was in a hurry and bought us here before we lose Fara… again. Just couldn't take chances," Tarragon said.
"I don't feel anything though," Ivor said.
"We better go before Morph catches onto us, sir," Lispe said.
"It's one helicopter… can only a head-man think that through?" Ivor scoffed.
"What Morph?" Fara asked.
"I call shotgun however," Varun said.
"Talk later, we need a plan," Ivor said.
"I might just have a plan," Tarragon said lifting his hand.
"No… not again!" Ivor yelled.
"One way to find out if it works, sir," Lispe said.
