The hero's throat stiffened. "Im... I'm sorry Raphtalia. But I have to go."

Pain. "But why?"

"I have family. And other things to get done. And so do they."

He kneeled. And laid a gentle hand on the weeping girl's chest.

"Y-you're free to go."

His palm beamed of green. And the symbol that tainted her skin, ceased.

"Can we start? Or are you not done with your little show yet." Motoyasu said as they all stood.

The shield hero blinked the incoming sting of his eyes. And averted to the group.

He sniffled. "So.. how do we do this again." He said a bit quietly.

They formed a circle. "We gotta put our weapons in the middle. And this of why we wanna go back."

"Shıt. The creature split mine in half." The swordsman weekly said.

"It's fine. You can hold onto mine."

"Isn't that too much strain. You teleported twice today."

"It's fine. It'll be the last time we use magic anyway."

The raven haired tilts his arm. Putting his shield on bottom. The blond touched the tip of his bow with the shield. And at last the sphere touched the shield.

A dim light formed at the center of the circle.

"It's working!"

The light grew and grew but suddenly diminished.

The former swordsman striked the girls temple. The clank of a sword. Her body tumbled to the stone floor.

"Ren! What was that for?"

"Carry her body out and we can try again."

A strong white light formed.

I'm sorry Raphtalia. I wish you the best of luck.

The light beamed and beamed.

"It's working!"

.... a tremor brewed in the taller blondes legs. And Iron poured from his nose.

"Hold on a bit longer--Yasu!"

"Should we start now?" The shield hero said as he shunned the sting in his eyes.

"I'll start! I-I guess."
"I dont know if I'll live or not! But if I do-- I wanna see my family and...yeah!" The taller blonde said.

Their words fed the light.

"I-me too!" The younger blonde responded.

"Family." The shield hero said. (On some spy kids 3 sht 😂)

"School and family." the swordsman said.

The three gawked at the the raven haired as the beaming light grew and grew....
