Portia calmed down then looked around to see Kofi touching the girl's head, as if in a trance.
She then looked out the window and gasped when she saw the creatures walking right through the broken down door, then back at Kofi...
Kofi appeared in the girl's dream and wondered,"How would I wake her up? Of course, by waking her up the natural way."
He made her sleep cycle run faster and they both opened their eyes and saw Portia battling two giant as scary creatures alone, then Kofi looked at the shocked child, then put her back to sleep, then at the electric creature, then said,"I have a score to settle with you..."
***
Skylar's father shot out several feathers at her, but they reversed and went to a time when they actually exploded on him, but he was able to cover himself with his wings as he said,"Pretty girls like you shouldn't break their porcelain skin fighting."
She scoffed and said,"I was thinking the same thing."
Then a bolt of lightning descended from above and crashed on his wings as he walked through it then came out, saying,"It didn't work."
"Oh I have a lot more tricks up my sleeve."
He looked up to see debris, falling from the rigs of moon Psai towards him, how she pulled a stunt like that, he didn't know, but he was losing his patience.
He shot hit feathers at them and they turned everything into dust as she ran to Skylar.
He then tapped her shoulder and before she could react, twisted her neck, but not so much so that she died, just so she fell unconscious.
He then looked down, but his son was gone.
He felt a tap on his shoulder and when he looked back, he was punched in the face and sent flying the landscape, crashing into the ground.
He got up angrily, then grinned when he saw his son's wings black.
He stood up then said,"Well son, you've proven your worth after all, join..."
Before he got the chance to finish, Skylar had darted to him and given him a spinning back fist.
He was hit across the face but didn't flinch as Skylar palm stroked him in the chest, then gave him a tornado spinning kick.
He stumbled backwards till Skylar blew a wind that threw him far into the air and exploded him onto the ground with his wings, then landed with his razor sharp feathers in his hand.
He was about to finish the job when he hesitated and his father said,"Too weak."
Then he punched Skylar across the face and slammed his head into the ground, then dragged him out and flew into the sky with him, where he stretched out his feathers and ionised them, making them act like a lightning rod, then pierced them into Skylar and threw him as the lightning hit him and he yelled in pain.
When Skylar fell down, his father asked,"Any last words?"
"Yeah, it's nap time old man!"
He turned back then was thrown backwards into the air then the sky started folding in like silk fabric then tore open to leave him in a horrifying place of Plum juice and joy.
He yelled in fury as the cutest creatures crawled on him, then he threw them off and sliced them with his feathers, he was going to kill every one of those creatures if that was what he needed to get out.
Portia ran to Skylar first, then Kofi.
He was badly injured, all over...as usual.
She reversed time on him, praying he didn't die, but Ms TT said she should let him go.
"Why?! He clearly needs help! He almost died!"Portia retorted.
"That wasn't when he was supposed to die."
Before she could react, he yelled in pain as a large sword pierced through his abdomen then Portia screamed his name as the creature slowly pulled it out.
Tears fell down her cheeks like rivers as blood slowly dropped from his mouth, then he gently cupped her cheeks, then dropped his lifeless hand.
The creature was about to take her when she screamed, sending a wave which warped reality till the creature found itself merged with the ground.
It roared but was punched across the face.
It looked at Portia who kept hitting it, over and over again till its face was mangled beyond recognition.
She fell down in tears as Kofi and Ms TT ran to her, then Ms TT,"It's going to be okay."
"No it's not! Skylar is dead!"She yelled.
"It may be, but he will come back."
She looked at her as she said,"Seraphim are some of the only creatures close enough to the Phoenix to reincarnate and he is one."
"Portia looked at him as his body burst into flames, leaving a black and white and rainbow coloured egg made purely of flames behind, then back at Ms TT, then asked,"Will he remember everything? Me?"
She was silent for a few seconds then shook her head and said,"I'm sorry, but no, he'll come back as a baby..."
***
"No! No!"Portia yelled,"There must be another way!"
"Portia, calm down..."Ms TT begged.
"I won't! You may not care about him but I do! I'll go back, as many times as is needed to save him."
"Portia, no matter what you do, he's going to die."
Tears welled up in her eyes as time reversed, she was still going to try.
She picked him up right after the girl put his father to sleep then picked him up into the fifth dimension, where she looked through as many different realities as she could to see one, just one where he survived.
He called her name in a slow, painful voice then she said,"I'm here Bird brain, don't worry, I'll find a way to save you."
He smiled then said,"Porsche, it's okay..."
"No it's not, why are you also saying that? It's not okay, nothing is okay."
"Portia, remember when I said I'd move heaven, earth and hell for you? I meant it and would do it, to get back to you, I promise, you just have to wait."
She was still crying as he said she should take him back, then she made time go as normal, healing him, right before he was stabbed and she killed the creature, but this time, she picked up the egg and kissed it then said,"And I will wait for you."
Then it began to hatch...
