Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

"Remember what I said? I'd rather die for you than live on without you. Besides, I have no way out anymore. Only you can go." Vane answered with a frown.
 
Her eyes flared.


" No. " she said silently as she stepped near Vane, her eyes flaring in red flame as she was enshrouded by red radiance as she looked in his eyes.


" Either we leave this realm together, or we stay here together. I could accept my fate being here but you... no, you will come with me. "
 
"I can get out if they bind me with your soul... The Mayor can do it. Get out of here and immediately go to the Mayor. He'll do the ritual so that I'll be bound to your soul while the protective magic seal which I casted on you still works." Vane told her.
 
She nodded as she stepped into the light.


She woke up on a bed with Vane now laying unconscious near her. Not wasting a minute she dashed into the mayor's house. Not caring that she was still wearing her ebony black armor she stormed in his office.


" Mayor! You need to help us... Vane... he brought me back from the dark void I was banished to. He said that only by binding my soul to his can I bring him back. "
 
Vane lied lifelessly next to Zoe when she woke up. His irises were a dull grey.


"He sacrificed his soul..." The mayor answered, thinking. "Can you bring him to my basement? I'll prepare the ritual circle."
 
" Right away. " she said and dashed back to the house they were in. Seeing how Vane looked like made she afraid, but this was not the time to back down. Every minute counted.


She held his limp body in her hands and hurried to the basement as she was ordered. When she arrived she placed his body gently to the floor as instructed.


" What now? "
 
"You two stand in the ritual circle. I'll chant the spell." The Mayor instructed, opening a spell book. He looked at the spell and set it onto a book stand in front of the chalk circle.
 
She grabbed the body and embraced it close to herself, hugging it close as she stepped in the circle. She looked at the mayor and nodded.


" I am ready. Begin the ritual. "
 
The Mayor began to chant the spell, his eyes glowing a green hue. The ritual circle glowed white as Zoe went into a trance. Soon she discovered herself in flowery plains, Vane sleeping on the ground.
 
She walked up to Vane, caressing his cheeks with her plated hand as gently as she could while she knelt down to him. She smiled and said silently:


" Sire... Vane, I am here for you. It is time to bring you home. "
 
Vane slowly woke up with a heavy groan. "Ugh... You told the mayor to do the ritual... Right...?" He asked, looking up at her. His eyes still were a dull grey, but at least they aren't lifeless for now.
 
She nodded silently.


" Yes, and he acted fast enough so that I could reach you. Come now, we have much to discuss. "


She offered her hand to him so he could stand up and come with her to the waking world.
 
A symbol glowed golden and crimson red glowed as it appeared on Vane's and Zoe's upper arm, respectively. Zoe's right eye changed into a grey color while Vane's right eye regained its brown other. The same couldn't be said for his left eye as it stayed a dull grey. A bright flash surrounded them and they were warped back to the normal world.
 
" It is done. " she said silently as they stepped out of the circle. " I feel a part of myself gone... but not entirely. "


She turned to van and put her hand on his heart.


" It lives within you, Vane, I can feel it. " she said and smiled.
 
"I'm bound to your soul, that means a part of your soul are in me. Meanwhile, the magic protective seal still have effect on you and now me due to your would being shared with me." Vane explained. The Mayor nodded at the explanation, outting the spells book away with the book stand.
 
" I may be able to remedy this in due time and restore your soul... " she said tentatively " Although you would not approve the method I have learnt how to do it. "


She sighed, knowing that the worst was over and they were back, safe. She knew not what was next: afraid of going near Punos she felt a great burden added to her shoulder.
 
"Let's get back to my house at least..." Vane invited, saying good bye to the mayor as they went outside of the house. He walked through the market, trying to get back to his house.
 
She nodded as she silently followed Vane. Guilt still churned in her stomach knowing at all this would not have happened if she had been stronger, but she did not say anything to him until they reached the house. Even when they entered she remained silent, waiting for him to make the first move.
 
His parents hugged Vane and his mate, happy that they had recovered completely. A welcome back dinner had already been set up for them.
 
She felt embarrassed when she met the parents of Vane. She did not dare to say a word: how could she face the parents of one she betrayed and almost killed? The guilt she felt was so overwhelming that even the tasty food they ate felt bad for her, but she ate it anyway, not to give away her bad feelings. After the meal she washed the dishes and sat beside her mate and looked at him with sadness in her eyes.
 
His parents went to the guest bedroom when Vane told them too. He sat next to Zoe and hugged her, brushing a hand through her hair. "At least I'm still here... You're still here too... Please cheer up..."
 
She looked at him.


" You act like nothing have happened... yet you died... to save a traitor. " she said with trembling voice as tears filled her eye. She was not in her armor any more but her casual outfit as she had a chance to change before meal, but still felt suffocated like in that armor.


" I had a mission to accomplish... a task at hand, yet i brought ruination to us... to you. "
 
Vane kept her close to him, trying to calm her down. "But you are okay, aren't you? That is the most important thing to me. You are my mate and I should have protected you... But I didn't." He sighed heavily, looking away from her shamefully.
 
" You couldn't have known how powerful Punos have become... " she said then looked at her hands then back at Vane " I have to show you something... outside. " she added.


She did not mention one thing to him, that Punos' touch did not vanish from her entirely. But he was to see it for himself soon enough.
 
"What is it?" Vane asked her, following her to the outside of their house. "What do you want to tell me?" He felt uneasy, knowing that something isn't right.
