Chapter 18:Goodbye!

Chapter 18

(Later we come to see the kingdom of Reinhard in the thrown room as Arnold comes crashing in,shocking the royal family and the royal guard who pointed their spears at theglowing sphere,but as the dust and light slowly fade,the king halts the guards not to engage.)

King:(Recognizing the child and realizing what it meant,as the child awakens,confused on the new faces and surrounding,the king slowly moves towards Anorah and hugs him for comfort.)Oh u poor child.(As the queen and princess,or look at him with pity in their eyes.)

Anorah:(Doesnt fight the hug,but turns to his new alien surroundings,confused and scared.)Wh..who are u peo..ple and where is my Mom and dad?(As he is met with nothing but silence as the kings hugs him more,Anorah then started crying aloud as the queen and princess come to also add comfort and hugs

.)

(Months later.We find the King had already explained the situation and who the kid was to his family,for many years ago when the princess was just a baby,she fell under a strange illness that even his high mages couldnt cure and thats when he heard about the ppl of Soniah and their abilities and he knew if anyone could heal his daughter was them and immediately set out to find the village and when he did it was Elysia who met him 1st,she didnt trust any outsiders but upon seeing the child,allowed him access and litsened to what the king had to say and personally healed her daughter,at the time,Anorah was just at the same age as the princess,just a baby.From then the king and the chief became good friends.)

(At this time Anorah was still sad and didnt speak to anyone in the house after learning about what had happened to his ppl,he didnt eat but just drank a cup of water and all day he would just stay at the top of the castle from morning to evening just starring at the direction of his village it was like this for months,during this times the princess,Hanya,tried to talk to him and at 1st he was just ignoring her but eventually after months of brooding and pouting in sadness,he finally started responding to the princess and he slowly started to make progress about 4years later he was now 12 years old,he had developed an intimate relationship with Hanya during this time,and now he started attending the royal family in the dinning hall to eat with them and began to communicate with them like an actual family.That night,something happened and during him sleeping in his room a light started flickering that woke him up and then there it was the ghost of his mother came to him.)

Anorah:(Rubbing his eyes just to be sure its not the sleep thats getting to him and when he opened them again the ghost was gone.)Okay...its possible my imagination.(As he turns back to bed,only to find his mother by his side.)

Elysia:Hello there hon.(Anorah got startled that he fell from his bed.)Opps!Sorry son,u okay.(Chuckling a bit.)

Anorah:(Slowly getting back up and still in disbelief,As he sees his mother for the 1st time in what felt like forever.)Is it really u.(With tears threatening to come out.)

Elysia:Sure is,my son.(She says solemnly,as she floats towards Arnold.)Oh my uve grown,how tall are u now?(As Anorah couldnt hold himself much longer and went in for a hug,but went right through for it was a phantom.)

Anorah:(With tears in his eyes.)Well then...that was awkward.

Elysia:Im sorry son.(In an apologetic tone.)I am just a ghost now.But before anything else,im sorry for not saying anything to u before...(As the painful memories come to mind.)What had happened that day,i didnt leave u with anything,i just sent u off...(As he looks to his son,with tears in her eyes.)I trully sorry son for leaving u alone.But even if u dont wanna forgive me,i can understand,but u have to litsen to me son,he will be back and u dont have much time left….

Anorah:Woah there,slow down a bit,1st of all u dont have to apologise for anything,that day.(As he shifts to a more solemn tone.)U did what a mother had to do,at the time I was a child I didnt really understand what was going on...But now,i do,and u shouldnt be apologising to me.Infact I should be thanking u.

Elysia:Oh son…

Anorah:U saveed me that night,u gave me a chance to live on my life.(As he looks to her mother.)

Elysia:(In a more jovial mood.)I know I have said this before,but man u really have grown.But theres no need to thank me,i was just saving the most precious person in my life.(She smiles at Anorah.)

Anorah:Exactly mom...The same way u dont need to apologise for anything.(As they share a moment of silence.)Now whats this u were saying about someone coming?

Elysia:Oh,that,Im saying Baruk,u know the demon that destroyed our entire village.(As Anorah nods.)Hes coming for u and will stop at nothing to get u or...kill u.

Anorah:How do u know that,actually not that I mind it but how are u even here?

Elysia:Well up there,news about everything here and well various other places,travels fast.The hard part was convincing an angel to let me come warn u,ur father actually came in a huge help with that.

Anorah:Wait dad?Is he here?

Elysia:U wanted to see him.(As he comes close to his son.)Dont worry son,it was either me or him,but he misses u a lot,and told me to tell u.(As Anorah recalls the times his father said those exact words.)"Everytime u think of me or ur mother,son always remember that,we are always here.(As he pokes at his chest.)and no matter what happen we are always toge..."

Anorah:Together!

Elysia:U remember.(As he realises.)Oh almost forgot,I dont have much time.Now Anorah I know this isnt the ideal mother-son meet up,but ill be happy to tell u that everyone back home all love u and miss u but u have to leave now!

Anorah:Wait...Leave?!(As he looks at his mother confused.)

Elysia:Oh son...I know this is gonna be hard for u,but pls son u have to go.

Anorah:(Upset.)Leave!I cant just leave them.

Elysia:(Understanding why Anorah doesnt wanna leave.)I know what uve created...the bond uve made with the royal family,I know how much they mean to u...(As Anorah,tries to ignore her.)Son please look at me.(As Anorah is reluctant to do so.)Please son look at me.(As he does so.)I know u care and love this family uve gotten here but if u dont want them to end up just like Soniah,ull have to leave them.Pls son u have to litsen to me.

Anora:(With tears in his eyes,as he recalls the fall of Soniah.Then turns to his mother.)I understand I have to leave them…..But I dont want to.(As tears stream down his face.)

Elysia:(Coming to comfort him.)Dont worry son everything will be okay.(As she thinks of something to shift the mood.)Say,remember the time when dad got stuck in a skunk hole head 1st while chasing a skunk .

Anorah:(Lightly chuckles.)Ye,what was he think chasing it in there anyway.

Elysia:Till this day even he doesnt know why he chased it.(As they both laugh.)Now then remember what he said.

Anorah:That everything happens for a reason,we may not know why but thats how life is and the only thing to do is to accept it and learn from them.

Elysia:Thats right.Now then I know u love them,wouldnt u want them to be safe.

Anorah:(Sadly.)I guess.But where would I even go.

Elysia:When I was,well still alive I was studying about our ppls chosen I learned that in all of our generations,we had only just scratched at the surface of what the chosen was,none of us actually ever unlocked it.

Anorah:Where are u going with this.(Just then we see a girl like figure,peeking through the door,it was Hanya.)

Elysia:Hey now,what did I tell u about interrupting someone before they finish.

Anorah:Sorry mom.

Elysia:Now where was I,Oh I then I learned of a sage or rather he called to me and said he knew of our race and power and if I wanted to learn more about the chosens abilities,I should go meet him,in the emerald forest,i refused at the time for I had u to raise,but when u got older I had planned to go to it myself but never got the chance.

Anorah:So thats where u want me to go.

Elysia:Pretty much,its the safest place where Baruk could never reach u.

Anorah:I see,just let me write before I leave.(As he grabs a paper as he writes down what would be his final words to everyone in the castle.As he ties it and leaves it at the bed,he cleaned his room, took a bag of what he needed for the journey and left through the window.)So how do I find it?

Elysia:Thats the thing,it finds u.

Anorah:I see.(As we move back to the room to see Hanya entering the room reading the letter.)

(It was now dawn as we see Baruk spawn in the middle of the city,everyone panicked as they saw him,the king from the castle saw him and knew what he came for as he went to Anorahs room to meet Hanya reading the letter with tears in her eyes.We then return back to the city to see Baruk.)

Baruk:(Looking around the city.)Hmmm!Seems he left,lucky bastard,but how did he know I was comi...(As his mind immediately goes to the suspicion of Elysia.)Even in death she ruins my plans.(As we move to Anorahs and Elysias location to see Elysia coming to a halt.)

Arnold:This will take a while wont it.Mom...(As he turns to see his mother starting to fade away.)

Elysia:Sorry son but seems our time now is up,just remember I will always love u my son.(As she fades away,as Anorah just takes a moment to ponder and take it in.)

Arnold:I love u to mom.(As he continues his journey to the unknown.)
