The old lady smiled letting him go as her eyes returned to normal , Finn and the priest all looked at Timothy with their lips slightly parted in shock at the Old lady's words but it didn't take long for them and they had regained their composure. The sacred priest had a calm expression as he looked at Timothy who was dumbstruck .
Finn cleared his throat getting everyone's attention" The oracle's words don't make sense sometimes cause she only speaks what she is being shown but trust me when I say sh is the kingdom's only oracle for a reason . Now return to your Chambers I'll summon you soon." Timothy and komoni bowed leaving Helis standing before the king
The priest got up and bowed to the king before stepping down , he looked at Helis's heart that was wrapped in a cocoon and he sighed as he started to make hand seals . A golden light emitted from the priest's hand as he released his aura making Helis take a few steps back in fright , but the aura quickly disappeared just as it appeared . The priest's palms glowed with a golden light as he moved forward so quickly that Helis didn't see a thing until a hand was in the hole in his chest grabbing his heart and the other was on his forehead , before he could make a sound the priest spoke up " Runes sees and Runes record , foulness bound to this child's soul. By the divine lord's power he has bestowed upon me I SEAL his soul from the foul , cleansing it with my lord's divine light
Let the Runes see and let them record Helis Jorn's exorcism . Praise Zebha"
Helis was screaming as two golden runes appeared , one on his forehead and the other on his heart melting away the cocoon that had wrapped around his heart and his eyes glowed with a golden light and a pillar of light engulfed his whole body making him scream in pain . The whole process lasted for a few minutes before the light from the pillar died down revealing a handsome young man with green hair and a pair of emerald eyes , the charred skin peeled off revealing smooth clean skin and the hole on his chest was healing at a speed visible to the eye . Helis stood up under everyone's gaze having gained his original appearance back , but he could also feel thelack of strength in his body. Helis stood there letting the fact that he was now a mundane human sink in , he looked at his hand that had been charred before and he smiled "thank you sacred priest" he bowed
" I have cut of your soul connection from the foul , in the next two months or so you'll experience withdrawals and your body and soul will be in pain but afterwards you'll be free from the foul and I will personally train you and turn you into a servant of our lord and the kingdom , but first give me your hand" the priest held out his hand waiting for Helis's
Helis hesitated first before he placed his hand into the priest's , the priest channeled breath from his hand into Helis and a blinding light emitted from Helis blinding everyone in the throne room and the light faded revealing ....

After Timothy and komoni arrived at their castle they both went to their rooms , Timothy made his way slowly up the flight of stairs with the tired little fox in his arms . He looked at the little fox with a sense of guilt for overworking the little guy but before he could continue up the stairs someone blocked his path , Timothy looked up to see who it was before speaking" what do you want Jake?" His voice cold and distant
Jake's eyes had a pained look in them as he stared at his friend who spoke to him like he was talking to a stranger
" What happened when you entered that scroll pal?" He asked his voice low and soft
Timothy resisted the urge to punch him away and he looked at him a straight face before answering" None of your business. Now move"
Jake stepped aside and he watched Timothy pass " you are still my river pal" Jake spoke as he went down the stairs , Timothy continued walking towards his room acting as if he didn't hear his words but deep inside his mind they repeated themselves like a song that refused to end "river pal?" Timothy asked himself as he opened the door to his room that was covered in darkness , placing the little fox down he took of his clothing and he took out his sword and started swinging his sword in practice but it was really a distraction for him to not think about Jake and his strange acts . He kept swinging until his body fell down with exhaustion as the last bit of strength he had vanished from his body with the last swing and he fell into a deep slumber .
" Uhhhh I'm back here again" Timothy spoke as he stood on the platform before the giant staircase that had no visible end , he looked at the runes on the first step and they were glowing even brighter than he was used to
" The runes seem to be calling me , but why after all this time? Who is the one in control of this place ?" Timothy held his chin
He looked around and he saw nothing but deep in the void he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him , Timothy smile and he held out his hand "void , come"
A loud neigh could be heard but the source of it couldn't be seen , before he could blink void was already standing in front of him brushing his head against his dotingly "Master master why haven't you summoned me yet master , it's lonely here master , master can I go with you ? Please master?" Void relayed the information to him via the soul link , Timothy's brain was trying hard to process the whole information faster
"Can't you change into a smaller and less noticeable creature?" He asked even though he knew the answer already
"No but I can hide my wings " void answered and Timothy nodded before looking at the staircase and stepping on it while holding void's side
