When I woke up, there was soone holding while I lay in one of the softest and most comfortable beds that I had ever been in. I slowly opened my eyes to look into Tallia's rainbow-colored ones. She still was still the prettiest woman that I had ever seen.
"You are finally awake. I was starting to get worried, and the others were starting to think that I had you tied up in my house," Tallia said as she brushed a hand across my cheek.
"Is everyone alright?" I asked, thinking of when I lost control, and I closed my eyes again.
"Everyone is more than fine; they are all just worried about you. You gave quite the scare, but you were able to bring yourself back under control. If you have to do that again, you will know what to do this ti," Tallia said, but I looked away from her.
"I don't want to have to use this power again. If you hadn't been there, I really don't know what would have happened. I might have destroyed this world and all the people in it," I said, feeling the weight of what could have been pressing down on my chest, but Tallia took my face into her hands, and I opened my eyes.
"Galio, no one would have survived if you didn't do what you did. No one got hurt because you did all the fighting on your own, and you protected everyone," Tallia told , but it was hard to see things like this, even if she had a point.
"What happens next ti? What if I lose control again? This ti things were fine only because I was ten miles from everyone else. What happens if they attack a city or there is sothing in a heavily populated area?" I asked, knowing that if that happened, many people would die.
"You will have , Galio, and I promise to always be here. I will always be just a single call away from you, but you are going to have to learn how to control this power. It is a part of you now, and it is not going away," Tallia said, and I looked at her.
"I wish that was enough to make feel better," I muttered, and she leaned in to kiss on the forehead before she stared into my eyes again.
"Do you trust ?" Tallia asked, catching off guard.
"With every fiber of my being," I said, and then Tallia kissed briefly, and I pushed so blonde hair out of her face as she slightly pulled back.
"Then that should be all that you need. You have my love, but you have more than just . Everyone loves you and cares about you, Galio. We will always be there for you, just like we are for all of us. You are our defense, and we are your family," Tallia explained, and I sighed with a smile.
"I love you," I said, and Tallia grinned as she kissed again.
"I love you too, Galio. Now let's get you so food so that you can get your strength back up," Tallia said as she pulled away from and then helped to my feet.
I was still a little unsteady, but Tallia wrapped an arm around to help support . We walked slowly to Tallia's kitchen, but then she motioned for a portal, and I saw everyone looking at with smiles on their faces. They all wanted to co rushing over to , but they held back and gave space as Tallia helped guide over to a seat.
My body felt like I had been hit by a bus and a train and then finished off by a plane. I didn't have mories of ever being in so much pain before, but even trying to pull in magic did nothing for it. I tried to cast a healing spell, but it did nothing for what I was feeling.
"Galio?! Are you feeling okay?" Eliza asked as she ca over and hugged in my chair, and I returned it softly, giving her a kiss on her cheek.
"I am okay, just really sore. How is everyone from the wall doing?" I asked as won started to take chairs around the dining table, but Tallia was on one side, taking one of my hands in her. Just holding her hand seed to make my body feel better, and I gently squeezed her hand back in appreciation.
"Everyone else? They are all good, but they have been coming to the house almost five tis a day for the last three days, wondering when you would be coming back," Eliza sighed, and I chuckled.
"Well, I am glad that everyone is okay," I said, and then yawned as my body started to relax. It was like the pain was just draining out of .
Food was brought out to by Breya, of all people, who was wearing an apron. The Angel looked cute in the outfit, and I gave her a kiss after she set my food down, which was pancakes covered in fruit and syrup.
"This is sothing that we like to eat for breakfast, and Tallia, let us know as soon as you started to get up. I wanted to make sure that this was ready for you," Breya said with a smile, and I kissed her again before digging in.
It didn't take long to finish all the food, but it was definitely sothing that I needed. The pancakes were done to perfection, and everything went together perfectly, but now I was starting to feel drowsy again.
"You should get so rest, Galio. You need it," Tallia said as she stood up and then helped to my feet again, but this ti I could stand on my own power.
"Yeah. My body is starting to feel better, but using that power seed to take a lot more out of than I expected. It's strange," I said as I slowly stretched, then rubbed my shoulder that was bothering . "I can't heal myself like normal."
"That power isn't normal, so that makes sense. Now, say goodbye to everyone so we can go back ho. I would have just made food for you there, but the Angel demanded that I let her make you the al since I was taking care of you," Tallia said, and Breya ca over with a knowing smile to hug and kiss , which I returned.
"I will see you all soon, and thank you for everything," I said as I looked at everyone. They all nodded in return, and then Eliza ca over to give a big hug as well.
"Get so rest, Galio; we need you at full strength," Eliza said before she kissed my cheek and then let go before I was guided out by Tallia.
We both stepped through the portal that took us back to the kitchen of her ho, and I saw the table that was set for two. A fire was going in the fireplace, and candles were lit around the room, but there was sothing else that caught my eye.
