As you probably noticed, Tihana didn't show any signs of her mories returning, and that was because what Ixa did to her mind, was still there. It had to be removed by The Great One because my skills were insufficient. I just didn't invest in the manipulation of mories hard enough, and I didn't plan on doing so.
All three of us: , Druoag, and The Great One were too tired, despite replenishing our strength with the device. It was mostly ntal fatigue and surprisingly the fact that we didn't have to rush anymore. With the heavier weight put on the second of those two things. It just robbed us of this additional source of energy, the purpose.
So we waited a day before my alien psychic friend took care of both Daniel and Tihana. It made very happy, as I was imdiately able to notice differences in her.
- That's much better - she said. - So I guess you will have to do that to everybody on earth?
She asked The Great One. He didn't answer, instead looked straight at . I shrugged my shoulders in response. The fa had its good things, but being a more shadowy feature - pun very much intended - had also its good sides. Nobody would be able to use my mother against anymore, but she would also be a stranger to , unless we would return her mories.
"Maybe that's the answer? Just those few I care about?", I asked myself.
- I think there is no need for that. Just a few people that are important to - I replied eventually.
- Knowing you, you will blast sobody across ti and space, and everything will return to normal in no ti - said Daniel with a nasty grin on his face.
- I liked you more when you didn't rember stuff - I said to that. - You weren't this cheeky.
My words caused only his smile to beco bigger.
- Are you sure about that? - Tihana asked .
- No. But I can always change my mind, and if we just return everybody's mories, I won't have the option to go back - was my response.
She nodded slowly.
- Let's go and eat sothing- she added after that and smiled at .
- Bawk! - Tam agreed.
He even pecked the ground two tis and stomped his little feet demanding food.
- Fine, fine, fine. I guess I can treat you to sothing good. What do you want?
- Cheeseburger! And fries! - said Tihana.
- Bawk - said Tam.
- Worms? You can choose anything, and you chose worms? - I was genuinely surprised by his decision.
anwhile, Daniel shook his head in disbelief and walked away.
- He is a chicken. What did you expect? - Tihana rolled her eyes and then used to grab my hand.
She tried her best to pull toward the device, but she lacked the strength, so I helped her a little by taking a few slow steps. It was quite funny to watch her struggle, but it ended when she decided to punch in the shoulder out of frustration.
- Be careful, because you might break your fist - I almost laughed at her.
- Hmpf! - She pouted and then walked ahead of .
- Bawk! - Tam said to not hiding his resentnt.
- Shut up - I responded.
That's how the short banter ended. We, just as planned, went to get the food, and for the first ti, we sat down on so rock, away from the jade city, and just watched the beautiful mix of green colors with the silver light shining from above. We got there via my shadow walk, obviously.
It was very nice, and in so sense, unreal. I still couldn't accept that the horrors I went through were over. Maybe because we were in Loistavadvaar and not in Arc, among the people I cared about.
Or maybe because I got used to my new life, away from other humans, and that's why I just couldn't feel truly happy.
I kept wondering about that, as we ate the burgers and Tam chased the worms. They weren't real worms, though. Just the bodies I got from the device, but I kept moving them using my telekinetic powers, to make him sweat for it.
The little guy needed so exercise since he usually spend most of his ti in Tihana's hands.
- It feels weird - suddenly my fake daughter spoke out.
I looked at her. She had so of the sauce on her lip, but she quickly wiped it with the back of her hand.
- What? - I asked more chanically than out of curiosity because I had similar thoughts.
- Everything. This place. You being back. The victory over the high queen. I don't know... What happens next? Is what The Great One keeps telling us the truth? Is there sothing worse than her coming? - she asked with a mostly blank expression, but I could see through that and I knew she was worried.
- I don't know what's next, but what he is telling us, is the truth. There is sothing worse, but don't worry. We won this war, and we will win the next one. I'll get stronger. We will get stronger. And we will face everything that fate throws at us. For now, though, we should rest, and enjoy the mont of peace.
She nodded to my words. After that, for a long mont, we both were silent.
- I want to beco a hunter - she inford after a few minutes of, I believe, thinking it through. - And I want you to train . This ti properly.
I had mixed feelings about it. I wanted her to get educated first. I wanted her to then take it slowly, so she would remain safe, and could actually understand the powers she would acquire. That was one side of the coin. The other was what just happened to , and what could possibly happen in the future.
She only had . I was her family, so if I were to disappear, she would be on her own. She needed a way to survive. She needed to beco stronger.
- Ok - I said after a mont. - I'll train you.
She nodded to my words and then bit the rest of her burger.
