Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

Vane smiled while he panted heavily, his spells clearly drained him of his power as he slowly changed back into his normal self and collapsed onto the ground. The barriers over Punos, Io and Zoe flickered and disappeared.
 
" You... you have done it! " said Zoe weakly, smiling at him " It is done... the gaping maws to the abyss are gone. The so called ' templars ' are also gone... you have saved us all. "


She looked at her husband in love and admiration. She stood before a hero.


" I am proud. "
 
"I'm glad that you are proud..." Vane smiled at her and closed his eyes. He apssed out immediately after due to how much energy he had drained in order to beat Valdmara.


(We aren't done yet, are we? ;3)
 
( Nop but now I am out of ideas for a bit. Need to find something to re-ignite the spark of the story )


She carried Vane home with Punos and Io. They finally had the room to breathe after the darkness receded. For now they had the time to rebuild everything that was lost during this ruthless war. Zoe was happy to stand by Vane's side in the final battle, even if she only borrowed her power to him. She looked outside the window where dawn was breaking.


A new day awaited all of them.
 
The next day, Vane woke up in a dark room. "Where am I? Zoe?" He called and tried to get off the bed he had been lying on. But his body was too worn out to let him move.
 
Zoe entered the room, smiling at him.


" You are awake my love. You have slept for a long time, I have to tell you. I hope you feel well. "


She sat down beside him on the bed, kissing his forehead.
 
"I'm still worn out but at least I'm better than when I passed out." Vane smiled and kissed her cheek in return. "How long was I out?"
 
" Almost for a day. " she put a wet, cold towel on his head to cool him down. " You have fought bravely and have driven back the shadow... we are safe for now, hopefully. "


She bowed her head in silence.


" Io has vanished. She said that it was time. "
 
"It was... time?" Vane asked with a frown, looking up at Zoe. "What happened to her?" He was worried, trying to get up again but his body refused to listen to him.
 
She looked sad and happy at the same time.


" She said that the timeline would unravel if there were more than one of her in the universe at the same time. And I think I know what she meant. "


She gently put her hand on her belly and smiled.
 
Vane nodded and smiled at her. "I understand... At least we know what to name her now." He chuckled and kissed her, happy that peace would reign for a long time.
 
"We'll settle down and live our lives peacefully, at least that is until any problems rise up again. But we'll think about it when we get there." Vane suggested.
 
" That sounds pretty nice... and pretty boring. " Zoe chuckled as she kissed her beloved.


Months have passed since the banishment of Valdmara and the world was still reeling in pain. As Doonem was rebuilt from the ashes a new king was chosen and he decided to rebuild the templar order to cooperate with the Drakians so that they could defend the world together next time such a threat emerges from the shadows. But the clouds of doom were already present on the horizon. A new dark force was on the move...
 
Vane took good care of his love and soon-to-be-born child, even when he was training and helping other people in the town as well. He is an explorer after all and he can barely stay in one place for so long.


He set his pack into its corner and set the pouch of coins onto the table. It seemed that he had quite a profitable day today. "My love! I'm home!" He called with a smile.
 
The next moment Zoe walked downstairs, smiling at him and waving... and so did Punos. The elder mage now seemed to be in a much better shape than he was before. He wore the same deep blue robes as he did at their first meting, bowing before Vane respectfully.


" Greetings, master Vane. We meet again. " he said with a deep voice.
 
"Greetings, Punos. Why are you here? Is there anything you want to talk about?" He gestured his hands to the seats and sat down with Zoe and Punos.
 
The old wizard smiled at the both of them.


" Firstly I wanted to see you, my child. And now I see that you are all well I am relieved. " he then closed his eyes and the smile vanished from his expression. " I also bear news. I believe I have found a way to rescue my son... your father. "
 
"He is still... alive?" Vane was both confused and amazed. "But I thought he was kill with the downfall of Doonem..." He sighed. Those events were dark times.
 
" He is... and he is not. " said Punos with a sigh. " When Valdmara enslaved him she did not entirely kill him. She kept his soul in a special gem, hidden in the farthest reaches of the netherworld. But when she perished - or well supposedly perished - her spellwork was made undone and the gem has drifted into our world once again. "


He paused and drank his tea he had prepared previously.


" With sufficient soul magic it can be reconstituted - and be reborn. "
 
"Soul magic..." Vane muttered that phrase to himself, a frown appearing on his face. Zoe can do it, but she is carrying their child. He didn't want to put her in danger. "Zoe... Do you think you can do it?"
 
She nodded.


" I believe so, yes. " she said as she touched her growing belly. The little baby inside playfully kicked at the touch of her warm hand and she smiled. " It seems Io believes that I can do it as well. "


She looked up at him, slightly concerned.


" Punos explained that this is not completely without a risk though. "
 
That is what Vane was afraid of. "I have been learning about soul magic. But I can only do novice spells." He sighed. "Can we do this after she has gave birth, Punos?" He asked with a frown, clearly not wanting to put Zoe and Io in the way of danger.
 
He looked darkly.


" It is possible yes. " he said " But know this: we are not the only one knowing about the gemtsone. A dark force is already mobilizing its forces and intends to find a powerful artifact to use... this artifact. "


He sighed heavily.


" The choice is yours, of course. I was just merely informing you. "
 
"I'll think about it and answer you as soon as possible. Thank you for telling us." Vane thanked Punos and smiled softly. "You are free to go now..."
