The next few weeks passed rather fast since nothing major happened. After the party, the ship headed toward the Zaera kingdom as fast as it could… Aion had been away from home for a year, but the others had been even longer. So, it was no surprise that they wanted to go back home as fast as possible. He was certain that his mother did a good job looking after his territory, but it must have a limit of what she could do without Aion showing his face.
In the end, the Breeze of the Wind reached the Zaera kingdom in five weeks instead of six, and it was time for Aion to say goodbye to Sauros and Seris. They didn't want to deal with Vangel more than they had to, and they also had already paid for borrowing Aion's assistance.
"I hope that you will truly wait for us when you decide to use the relics," Sauros said, offering a handshake. "Putting that aside, this journey was a difficult one, but it was also fun, right? Let's hope that the next ones will be the same."
