Regret That Burns (4/5)

Azriel's son punched on the nose then hugged him, "I forgive you dad... and... I never forgot the day that I would get my chance to see you again... (starts to cry) when I was 6 years old... mom gave me this amulet... she told me about how you were a war hero... you fought so that you could retire with my mom and become a farmer... she told me about your disease and she told me that if I ever saw you, even if it was 20 to 30 years... that you never forget who he was... and to wish that we could spend your last days together... (has trouble speaking) mom was never mad at you... I was... at first... but then a wise woman told me that I shouldn't judge a book until it's been read." Azriel broke into tears and hugged his son, Azriel saw his lover, he stood up and he and they both ran to each other and embraced a warm hug... "my love... you've returned... you haven't changed one bit." Azriel looked into her eyes and saw how much she hasn't changed one bit, when she saw the others, she walked up to them and only have one request from them, "please promise me this... that when this is all over... my husband comes back to me..." Macro stepped forward and told Azriel's lover, "I can't make a promise... but we will do our best to make sure that we stay alive all the way."

They smiled and they along with their said their goodbyes to Azriel as he had to leave for Androes, the ship took off and Azriel walked to Cal and said, "Thank you!" Cal said that he didn't do much, "but you did... and that was helping me build the confidence and confronting my past..."
30 MINUTES UNTIL REACHING THE GALAXY CORE PLANET, ANDROES
Cal examined the puzzle pieces that were activated by Macro and Azriel, they seem to have created a pattern, he didn't know what it was but as he put them together, he saw illusions of who he was, he was floating while his eyes glowed bright purple but the illusion stopped halfway, Cal couldn't believe what he had seen, he realised that time around him had changed.
15 MINUTES UNTIL REACHING THE GALAXY CORE PLANET, ANDROES
Cal stood up and realised the girl that Erika had along with them had followed her, she ran off the moment she was spotted, Cal went after her with the others looking clueless at what he was doing, "hey!" He chased after the girl while she giggled, "where are we going?!" He found himself lost only to be confronted by the girl again. "Okay... enough mind games, who or what are you exactly?" The girl stopped giggling and replied, "my name is Vera... the daughter of the Myst." Cal was shocked to what he had to hear, "the Myst has a daughter?"
"How naive of you... and to think you are the apprentice to Rekxzan Dartha... pathetic..."
