~ The Last Keeper ~

The days turned into weeks, and gradually, L regained her former strength. She'd also managed not to destroy Cerys and Anna's house in the process. Robbie was feeling much better, and Cerys had said she'd take him to get the cast removed in the next week.

"Once it's off we're going, right?" Robbie asked eagerly.

He was tired of being stuck inside all the time. L had even caught him watching Dragon movies and staring longingly.

She smiled at him, "Yes, if the doctor says your arm is healed and only then."

L made a mental note to ask Cerys what the doctor said instead of Robbie. She had a feeling he'd say anything to get back to flying.

"Are you coming to the library?" L asked Robbie, hopping down off the bed.

They'd started spending a lot of time at the library lately, agreeing that there might be something in the human history or mythology books that could help with Andrei. Cerys and Anna's library was filled with all kinds of books on the Supernatural world; L had some interesting times comparing it to the true knowledge in her head. Some of it was pretty accurate but the rest was so very wrong. It was still worth looking in case her knowledge overlooked something.

She was in the library when Robbie returned from his doctor's appointment the week after. He came running in, almost hopping with excitement. He practically shoved his bare arm in her face and beamed.

"All healed. Let's go."

L raised her brow and peered around him to see Cerys walking in and gave her a questioning look.

"It's true." Cerys confirmed. "The doctor said it's healed very nicely. She was a little surprised at how fast it was actually, but we downplayed it and told her he's always been a strong lad."

"Thank you for taking me." Robbie spoke over his shoulder before looking back at L.

"You're welcome." Cerys smiled and headed off back through the library. 

"So, we're going today?"

L nodded at Robbie and replaced the book she'd been scanning.

"Yes, let's claim our home back."

L never thought she'd say that and mean it, but she'd been so angry about the attack on Lymasia, and she'd finally figured out why. It was her home, and she was going to get rid of every Demon who'd taken it.

L let Cerys and Anna know they'd be leaving today, both of whom insisted on providing whatever they needed. L tried to refuse, but neither would listen, and before they knew it, they were packed with supplies.

"You've done more for us than you'll ever know." L told them, stepping out of the front door.

They smiled sadly, "We hate to see you go already."

"Good luck with whatever lies ahead."

L thanked them and watched Robbie say his goodbyes when something occurred to her.

"If there's ever a way to repay you, please let me know. Any of the Supernatural beings you encounter can get the message to me."

"Actually..." Cerys started, but Anna stopped her with a shake of her head.

"What is it?" L pushed.

Cerys peered at Anna, who sighed and turned a little red.

"Would you be willing to let Anna paint a portrait of you some time in the future? When you're not too busy, of course."

L's eyes widened, "I never thought I would be asked that question. Erm, yeah, sure. Of course you can. Robbie and I will come back sometime and visit, if that's okay?"
