Chapter 11: Alistor.

the Others went to the home of Alistor and Catches up with some new information from the sister of Aurora, she was a spy assigned by her younger sister to look into the experiments that were conducted before she could report the base of the king Avon Steelhades base, Alistor already knew, and Avon went to full-on attack to the Capital, but there was one person who stopped him, and he defeated him with Shire Blackwood as she went for the final blow, the force of soldiers went to the castle of Avon steelhade and arrested the people in it and investigated the Laboratories, the night after, they sat at Alistors living room and discussed what is about to happen.

"So you are the Shadow Elementalist? You're looking normal than I expected" Shire said as she drinks tea.

"I'm sorry if my looks didn't go as you expected Miss Shire." Alistor smiles softly and thought to himself "Were you expecting something creepier?" and he continued "So, how was the base of Avon Steelhade?"

"Pretty horrible, watching people getting conducted by experiments, becoming mystical beasts, I couldn't bear to watch, but after a lot of time experimenting, they finally completed the experiment, and they made more of the strange potion, I would destroy the potions but that would blow my cover, but I held my emotions in and went on with them." Shire said as she looks down locking her hand together and started to cry, then continued "It...was...very horrible to watch...." Aurora then hugs her and pats her back.

"I'm sorry that I put you in that horrible position, from now on I will not assign you to a dangerous job ever again" Aurora said as strokes her hair.

"Good thing I put something in that potions..." Alistor said as he sips tea.

"What?" Shire said as she looks at Alistor

"Before the little 'invasion', I sent a shadow to look for the base of where the experiment was, because a few days ago, Aurora and I encountered the same thing, my curiousness didn't hold much longer so I sent one to investigate, after the quick and fast report, I sent them back to put something in the potions," Alistor said as he puts down the teacup on the table.

"What was it?" Shire said.

Alistor smiles and said "Come with me. Micreal and Nao can come too."

"Really? Yay" Nao said and Micreal nodded in response.

They were outside the house and went a walk for a little bit, then they spotted a huge lake with glowing waters, just a few miles and south from the house, the gang didn't know where Alistor was taking them but Shire had a recognize the way Alistor was taking them, after they walked for minutes then they spotted a huge lake, and they were watching from the hill above, the frogs were croaking and the fireflies were lighting above the tall grass and the gentle wind blew through the field of grass.

"Woah!! I never saw this my entire life!" Aurora said.

"I went this way over and over again, but I never saw such a wonderful lake before," Shire said as she saw the lake.

Alistor then walks to the lake and hovers above towards the middle, It was in the middle of the night and he then goes to the center of the lake and paused while others looked at him from afar.

"Micreal, what is he doing?" Aurora asked.

"Master is going to surprise you all" Micreal said and smiled while he looks at Aurora.

"What is he gonna do?" Nao asked.

"You'll see..." Micreal replied

Shire just watches Alistor quietly from afar together with Micreal, Nao, and Aurora. Alistor begins chanting a weird spell, and the water under his feet began to make little waves...

"My master is doing a very special spell..." Micreal said as he explains them thoroughly what was Alistor going to do and he continued "...he is gonna do a spell which releases souls..."

"What?! Releases Souls?! he control souls?!" Aurora said as it was the first time she has heard a person controlling souls.

"It is not controlling souls, he is releasing them, to let them rest from their suffering, and the result will be very satisfying. The people who were experimented, he will be releasing them and give them peace and send them to the afterlife." Micreal explained to them, and continued "he gets power from this ritual, every full moon, the people who died within the month, the souls go to him and asks to send them off to the afterlife peacefully." then Micreal thought to himself "though, in our world, Alistor was known to be the king of peace, the releaser of souls, the sender to the afterlife. But it seems his power still works here, the night after the first day we came to this world, when we were at a local inn, he was in pain from what he saw, the monster that was supposed to be a human he couldn't bear to see such things, he was suffering, despite all that happened, he still smiles as a true king would do, he cares for his people, and treats them equally. That's why he is the king. That's why he is my MASTER."

Alistor closes his eyes and creates one big magic circle that was almost as big as the lake, then he performs a soft dance, a dance of releasing souls which he always does every month, then Alistor added a star in the middle of the circle, then in the middle, Alistor then looks up the sky and held his hands up high, as his surroundings light up, small orbs of light was appearing around in the circle, it was like stars from the night sky and the lake glowed with Alistor, and the orbs of light were the souls of dead people, who were suffering from pain and grief from their lives, one by one the orbs turned into human figures and they glowed yellow-green as they do. Then Alistor puts his hands down and looks at the people around him and the people looked at him and they were smiling, looking at him and nods at him as they say "Thank you" then the souls went flying towards the night sky and fades as the wind blow. Aurora and the others were shocked and they were astonished about what they saw, except for Micreal, he was smiling of what the others look and then he looked at the sky as the souls of the people disappear from sight.

Alistor said "Rest easy you guys, your pain, grief, sorrow, and regrets, they are all gone now, you can peacefully go to the afterlife, good luck."

As the souls were fading from the night sky, the circle began to shrink and Alistor went to land, Nao and the others went to go to Alistor closer, Nao pause for a second and said "Sister, we found him"

"Yes, we found him at last" Shire replied as she looks at Alistor from afar, Nao then hugs Alistor and Alistor was a bit shocked, but he hugged her back, then Aurora and Shire was lost for words as they smiled at Alistor, Nao then finishes her hug and let go of Alistor then Alistor walks forward but his vision was fading, he collapsed to the chest of Aurora, Aurora was flustered all of a sudden, she didn't know what to do as he saw Alistor's face, sleeping soundly, she smiles and let him rest in the grass, while others did also, Alistor was sleeping on the lap of Aurora.

"Rest easy, Al. You had a rough day, and we are all grateful for what happened, and we saw a good side of you once again." Aurora said as she looks at Alistor while stroking his hair and smiled, she thought "Now that I took a good look at him...he is kinda cute...Wait! what am I thinking?! I couldn't possibly....be in love with him? Am I? it was just a few days, what happened to me?..." as she blushes from just thinking about it.

As the night goes on, the wind blew on the hill where Aurora and the others were sitting on, the cloudless sky was beautiful, as they saw a night full of stars and they watched it from below, relaxing their breaths and the view was magnificent, it was just another day of the normal life of Alistor.

"So what was the thing he put in those potions?" Shire asked Micreal.

"It was a shadow essence, the shadow put an exploding chemical to the potion and that's what happened to the mystical beasts, they exploded and became a shadow, and my master consumed them so that he could release them later, those who drank it, they will become My master's servants, to give them a second chance at life, he cannot revive the dead, but he can use them to do good deeds." Micreal replies as he looks at the sky, then Shire looked at Alistor and looked satisfied, while Aurora was stroking his hair.

"Just you wait Shadow, I came to seek revenge, and I will soon take this whole world, and kill you once and for all!" the man said as he looks at the crystal ball and clenched his hand as if he owns the whole world.
