Note to the reader: *.......* means he's saying that in his head.

I'm going to end the current storyline. I have an idea of how the next part will go, but I'm not sure if anyone really cares to read it. I would like to hear from my readers about what they liked and disliked. If I feel like you all want to keep reading this I'll continue. I can also start a new story if you all would like that, but I'll need some suggestions on what it should be about. Please comment or write a review. I will probably stop writing for a few days and wait for your comments.

Chapter 30

Lamruil was the prince of the elves name and he looked worn out.

Lamruil:"You've shown up at a critical time, but if what you claim is true then I owe you. Cal told me that you said the change in the battle was because of your intervention."

Willow:"Yes I am the reason your men won this battle."

Lamruil:"How exactly did you beat them all?"

Willow:"I just used magic."

Lamruil got down on his knees and bowed before me.

Lamruil:"Please will you lead my soldiers to victory?"

I placed my hand on his shoulder and lifted him up.

Willow:"I came here to help so of course I'll fight."

He flashed a weak smile before falling back into his chair.

Willow:"I have the group of women who attacked your human friends and wounded Tessa. What should I do with them?"

Lamruil:"I'll leave that up to them since I could tell they have some sort of history."

Willow:"Very well I'll ask them. I'll return soon to plan our strategy for the next attack."

I left the tent and walked back towards Ruby and her friends. I had the same weird feeling looking at her friends that I thought was love. Maybe I didn't fall in love with Ruby at first sight, but what does that mean I'm feeling.

I had a very strong urge to hug Tessa, but I was able to hold myself back. Did these girls have a charm ability too. I had already turned mine off.

Willow:"How is Tessa doing."

Ruby:"That was fast what happened to you talk with Lamruil?"

Willow:"It ended. I came to find out what you all want me to do with the women who you were fighting. I still have them pinned down."

I looked to Tessa and saw that she was awake. She looked into my eyes.

Tessa:"Could you bring them here?"

Willow:"Sure."

I assumed the other girls had already explained what happened to her. I created a spherical barrier for each girl and stopped my gravity magic. It's easier to change the gravity of a spot in order to trap someone then to create a barrier since I actually have to constantly add mana to it. The gravity spot won't change until I fix it so even without mana the person will remain trapped there.

I had four spheres hovering outside of the tent with a girl in each one. They seemed angry and continued to hit the sides. I had infused enough mana that I knew they wouldn't be able to escape.

Willow:"So what do you want me to do."

Tessa:"Restrain Laya and let me talk to her."

Willow:"Who?"

Tessa:"The black haired one."

I created a barrier around her hands and feet which worked like handcuffs then dropped her right in front of me. I also used a god level magic called drain that sucks away mana so she had no means of attack.

Tessa:"Why did you attack us?"

Laya:"Because you deserve to die bitch!"

Tessa:"Why?"

Laya:"It's your fault he's gone! I'll kill you and everyone you care about!"

I could see only hatred in her eyes.

Tessa:"I didn't kill Keltor. I heard Jack did."

Laya:"You summoned him so it's your fault! Die! Die! Die!"

Tessa:"You miss him so much that it's hurting you right."

Laya:"Shut up I'll kill you!"

Tessa:"I know how you feel. Falons been gone for a while now so I feel the same pain as you."

Tessa took Laya into her arms and hugged her.

Laya:"Get away from me you dumb bitch! I'll kill you! Die! Die! Die! Die!..........Die.........Die."

Laya's voice got quieter and tears started to stream down her face.

Laya:"Waaahhhhh!!"

The other girls in my barriers just sat and watched. Eventually Laya seemed to calm down and she stopped crying.

Tessa:"You can release the barriers now and stop restraining Laya."

I stopped all of my magic and the three white haired girls just stood there. Laya went limp and laid in Tessa's arms as she stroked her head.

Tessa:"It's going to be alright."

Tessa took Laya to lye down and the white haired girls sat outside the tent. It looked like they were guarding it. I went back to talk to Lamruil about battle plans.

Willow:"There won't be anymore of those creatures or cannons. I already looked over the city."

Lamruil:"Then we have a real chance of winning."

Willow:"I'm going to go ahead of you and take out Jack before your army gets there."

Lamruil:"Wait I can't send you to fight the Hero King alone."

Willow:"I'll be fine."

Lamruil:"No you should take some of those girls from earlier. They're the strongest we have to offer. You will form a group with them and some of my other soldiers."

Willow:"Fine I'll take the girls, but that's all no more soldiers."

Lamruil:"Fine but if the fight looks like your lose get those girls to safety."

Willow:"Yes."

Lamruil:"We'll rest a day before the next attack. Please tell the girls about our plan and rest up."

I told the girls what we were going to do tomorrow. Laya was sleeping in Tessa's arms while they sat on her bed.

Tessa:"She's a good girl. All she needed was to realize her loneliness."

I was given my own tent so I slept through the night, but I was visited in my dreams.

God:"Hey how's it going."

Willow:"I've arrived at the Hero Kings city and I plan to kill him tomorrow."

God:"It might not be that easy."

Willow:"With god level magic no one can fight evenly with me."

God:"I forgot to tell you that the carriers of legendary weapons are shielded from all god magic."

Willow:"What! Why didn't you tell me this sooner! That means I can't use magic against him!"

God:"You can use magic, but not god magic. The basic magic is all you can use."

Willow:"You never taught me the basics! I've always created them using god magic!"

God:"You already know the basics. You just have to remember."

Willow:"Remember what?"

The dream ended and I woke up. The sun had risen so I knew the next day had started. I was worried. Could I beat the Hero King with physical attacks only. I heard the Demon King was amazing with magic, but he didn't win.

I had a sword on my hip and I was strong so I decided not to think about it too much. I would definitely win. I gathered the girls and explained what my plan was.

I would use gravity magic to carry us to the palace at the center of Gart where we would then find and kill the Hero King. It was a simple plan, but a complex one wasn't needed. I noticed Laya and the white haired girls walking towards us.

Laya:"We want to come too."

Willow:"This group is already too large."

Laya:"Wether you take us or not we will still follow."

I knew it would only be a bigger hassle to refuse so I let them come. The soldiers attacked and infiltrated Gart pretty fast. It would seem the Hero King abandoned the peasant section of the city. I carried all the girls in the air and moved towards the palace.

We landed in a court yard and went straight for the throne room. I could sense him in there, but he wasn't alone. We opened the door to see a huge man with blonde hair and a beard standing next to who I assumed was the Hero King. To his side was an athletic looking woman with a sword.

I noticed a girl naked and on all fours behind the Hero King. She had dead eyes and a collar on that was connected to a chain bolted to the ground.

Jack:"Welcome girls."

He looked at me.

Jack:"I don't know that one."

Willow:"Die."

I went as fast as I could and swung my sword at him. It passed right through and only a shadow figure remained.

Willow:"What is this?"

Tessa:"He can turn into a shadow watch out!"

A dagger went right for my throat, but I dodged it. The athletic woman tried to stabbed me so I retreated back to my spot near the girls.

Willow:"The blonde guy is going to be the biggest problem I can tell. Cal, Ruby take the athletic girl. Laya and you white haired girls hold off the blonde guy. Fraya, Tessa and I will take the Hero King."

All:"Yes!"

We split into groups that I thought would be appropriate for each of our enemies. Ruby and Cal couldn't keep up with the athletic girls speed so they had to be on the defensive. The demon girls were able to lure the blonde away from the Hero King.

The Hero King had to materialize every now and then. I assumed he couldn't hold that shadow form for too long since he isn't that young anymore. The three of us were able to corner him and he even had a few wounds.

Ruby:"We're done!"

Ruby and Cal had cut the athletic girls legs off. Cal was walking over to finish her off.

Felicity:"Please I don't want to die he promised me immortality! I just want to live! Spare......"

Cal had severed her head. The blonde guy seemed to be trying not to hurt the demon girls.

Laya:"How could you betray Keltor!"

Hercules:"I had to."

The girls were attacking with everything they had, but he was taking all the attacks. We continued the assault on he Hero King and it was obvious he was tiring out. His left arm was burnt from one of Tessa's fire balls and a bullet was in his right calf. I had taken many stabs, but it was easy to heal.

Fraya and Tessa had been injured too, but Tessa healed them both. The Hero King was starting to fear us.

Jack:"Fuck this!"

The Hero King appeared next to the chained girl and cut her free.

Jack:"It's time to make our escape Violet!"

He dispelled his shadows and picked her up with his right hand. The girl was holding a jagged rock and slammed it into his throat. He had a look of disbelief and blood trickled out of his mouth.

Violet:"Die you bastard!"

The Hero King fell to the floor and blood pooled around him. He wasn't moving and his dagger was about a foot away. I walked up and kicked it to the other side of the room. I checked and he was dead.

Willow:"Now I'll finish the blonde guy."

I joined the demon girls with their attack and gouged out his heart then brain, but he regenerated.

*This is annoying.*

I opened a hole in the roof and shot him straight up into space.

Willow:"That should do it."

He'll drift through space for all of eternity. The Hero King was dead along with his head generals. The battle ended soon after and Lamruil met us at the palace.

Lamruil:"We've won!"

Willow:"What now?"

Lamruil:"My father decided to let the girls become the rulers here. Of course I will stay around for a while to ensure that this kingdoms interests line up with ours."

Most of the elf soldiers stayed at Vaneth Academy while Lamruil, the girls and I stayed in the palace. It was night and I took a stroll. I found Tessa looking at the moon.

Willow:"What are you doing?"

Tessa:"Oh Willow. I'm just thinking."

Willow:"About what?"

Tessa:"Someone I miss."

She pulled out a necklace and looked down at it. It had a blood red crystal attached. The crystal had a faint glow.

Tessa:"Why is it glowing?"

Willow:"Does it not normally do that?"

Tessa:"This is the first time it's happened."

I moved closer to her to look at the crystal and the glow intensified.

Tessa:"It's getting brighter."

She looked towards me.

Tessa:"Is it you!?"

Willow:"Is what me?"

She pulled her necklace off and dangled it in front of me. The glow got stronger and Tessa's eyes widened.

Tessa:"Here take it."

I cupped my hands under the crystal and she dropped it into them. It immediately melted and was absorbed into my skin.

Willow:"Aahh! It melted. I'm sor.... Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!"

I screamed. My head felt like it was splitting open. Memories started to flash through my mind. Tessa pulled my head into her embrace and was crying.

Tessa:"You've finally returned!"

The headache started to subside and everything became clear to me.

Willow:"Tessa....I'm back."

I wiped away her tears and kissed her. She spent that night in my room. When we went down for breakfast the next morning we stood in front of everyone.

Tessa:"There's something we need to tell you."

The girls all looked towards us.

Tessa:"Willow is Falon."

She grabbed my hand with both of hers. They didn't react for a few seconds then Jeanette jumped up and ran over to me. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a hug.

Jeanette:"Daddy your back!"

Willow:"I didn't have any of my memories until last night so I'm sorry that I worried you for so long."

Smiles started to appear on Cal, Ruby and Fraya's faces. The demon girls were there too so I decided I should tell them.

Willow:"Actually I'm not only Falon, but Keltor too. My soul has been completely repaired."

Laya's eyes opened widely and she stared at me.

Laya:"Is that true?"

Willow:"Yes and to prove it I'll say something only he would know. You love having your ears nibbled on during...."

I was punched in the gut by Laya.

Laya:"Don't go revealing those kinds if secrets in front of everyone."

Willow:"Ok."

It didn't hurt, but I knew to shut up. Everyone seemed happy which made me smile. We spent the next few weeks repairing Gart and expelling all the rot Jack left behind. The girls decided that Jeanette would be the queen since she was part of Garts royal family. The rest of us were seen as advisors.

We had all been so busy that we only rarely got to spend time together. Tonight was our first meal together since that breakfast. We were all eating when Tessa stood up.

Tessa:"I have an announcement. I'm pregnant."

I dropped the fork I was using and the room went quiet. She hadn't told me yet so I was surprised.

Willow:"Really! I'm going to be a father!"

Tessa:"Yes!"

I was standing up and I walked towards Tessa to give her a hug, but arms wrapped around my neck.

Laya:"That's not fair I want to be pregnant too."

Jenny and her sisters were also looking at me with expectant eyes.

Willow:"Ummmmmmmm."

I wasn't sure what to say. She said that in front of everyone.

Tessa:"I think we need to have a talk about the future."

Willow:"Yeah. I agree."

I felt like life would be getting a lot more complicated from now on, but I was ready to take whatever came my way.Back to Main Page
