Revived

Anastasia stood up getting ready to follow them but stopped in her tracks as a figure caught her eyes. She slowly turned around to find the people whom she was dying to see until now. Looking at her stop in her tracks, even Henry stopped. She ran to her father and knelled to his height as he hugged him.

Henry helped her remove the chains from her father's and brother's hands. He stood there as he looked at the small family reunion which brought a small smile on his face even in such a situation. Anastasia's brother looked weak but could stand on his feet. As for her father, he was at the verge of dying.

"Father!!, you were here all this time. I should have come for you earlier. I am such a fool, how did I not think about this before?" she said sobbing as her father lay on her lap. Her tears ran down her cheek as her father wiped away all of them.

"Let’s go to Lora! She will find out a way to heal you and Noah and Leo too. Let’s go. Please?" she said and was ready to get up but her father stopped her. She was confused at her father's actions and looked at him with questioning eyes. Her father looked at her with adoration as he said,

"I imagined you to be beautiful just like your mother and look at you, you are prettier than I expected. It was my last wish to see my little girl again and for you and your brother to live freely among everyone. Now I can leave in peace. Well Talia is here too I wish your mother could see us all together”. Anastasia was confused for a second and Draco smiled.

“She’s your sister, that little one. Your mother was pregnant when she ran away from the forest. She had Talia few months after and lived in Solis looking for us. She wanted to find us and return to the forest to get you but she got killed after being found out that she was a human in the kingdom of elementals. She hid Talia so well that the guards never found my little girl. Adam had told the news to me with such glee in his face that I will never forget that day!!!” Anastasia’s cries got more intense listen to his words.

“Don’t blame yourself for this. Make sure you eat well and take care of yourself. Get your brother treated and tell Bianca everything. She’ll help you. And lastly, never forget that I loved you the most in the world" he said and with a warm smile decorating his face in a blink of an eye the light left his eyes.

His body started to turn into sand and slipped between Anastasia's fingers. She cried as she tried to collect the sand again as she called out for her father again and again. The sight was heart breaking to Henry. Her brother held her tightly and hugged her as she cried to his chest.

Henry and Anastasia helped Leo as he placed his arms on Anastasia's and Henry's shoulders on his either sides. Due to the huge height difference it took more time for them to reach the healing room. As soon as they entered the room they saw a frustrated Liam who walked in circle.

All of them stood in silence and there was no sign of Lora anywhere. Anastasia helped Leo to sit on one of the chairs and went to the queen who was standing not far from Noah's bed. Leo fell unconscious as soon as he rest his head on the wall. Anastasia looked around to find the queen to see her desperately clench on to her cloak.

"Mother, where is Lora?" she asked

"She is in the city now, but she’ll be here anytime now. It might take time for her to arrive but she will be here" she said and Anastasia sadly nodded. The queen looked behind Anastasia as though she was looking for someone and she found a young man there. She couldn't find the face she was looking for.

"Where's your father, dear?" the queen asked softly to which Anastasia looked at the ground as a drop of tear fell on the ground. The queen realized what had happened and hugged Anastasia to comfort her.

"I never got the chance to say goodbye or to tell him how much I loved him!" Anastasia whispered hugging the queen. The queen caressed her head as she thought to herself, ‘me neither, Anastasia. Me neither’.

Talia, who was standing beside Finn holding his pinky finger, shook his hand to gain his attention. Finn sat down to her height in response.

"Why is Noah not waking up?" she asked. The innocence in her eyes brought a sad smile to Finn's face.

"Just wait a bit longer until Lora gets here. He will wake up" Finn said. Suddenly the wound on Noah's body started glowing which caught Alec's attention.

"Everyone! look at Noah's wound" Alec shouted and everyone looked at the Noah's body which started glowing. His whole body started to glow golden and floated in thin air. Everyone waited for what was to happen.

"Wait, is he coming back to life?" Anastasia whispered to herself. But she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to find Lora standing beside her with a smile as she said, "Yes, he is".

"I was not aware of the prophecy completely, so I had to go to the oracle again. I found out something more important. He is not just the strongest Salemander now... He is the strongest elemental that the world will ever see. To put it in a simple way, he is invincible now" Lora said with a proud smile as Anastasia looked at her all the while she was talking.

Anastasia finally turned to see Noah standing on the ground but his eyes were closed. He opened his eyes but everyone was surprised not because he was alive again. It was because of his eyes. They were of a scarlet red.

All of them were relieved to see him still alive. But he suddenly dropped to the ground. They propped him up on his bed and Lora checked for his pulse.

“He’s fine. He just needs a lot of rest. It might take him a day to a week to wake up but let’s just wait patiently. His body needs to adjust to the new mana that is flowing in him”. Lora announced

All of them were relieved that Noah and patiently waited for him to wake up

Anastasia revealed to Talia that she was her long lost sister and Talia was more than joyful on hearing the news. Talia had already manifested her powers. Although Talia was chronologically of 13 years due to severe malnutrition she had stunted growth and looked like more of 7 year old.

Anastasia made sure she fed Talia well and enrolled her into the Academy making sure that Talia’s identity as a hybrid was not revealed. She had asked for the King’s help on this and he had done a great job in silencing the academy.
