Ruel smiled at Ellowen, his blue eyes shining with excitement. "Oh man, you don't know how excited I am to meet you, Sir Ellowen, and Lady Zyphira," Ruel said, giggling softly. Ellowen wasn't used to being called sir , much less addressed with this much respect. Ruel sounded young—heck, he looked pretty young. Davalin smiled. "Ruel here is seventeen. Back then, I met him a year after all the facilities blew up. Not sure how he ended up outside, but he did. He was only seven—super tiny—and just growling at me like a baby wolf." Davalin laughed, and Ruel laughed embarrassingly. "I was in a different facility from both of you. The one I was in had beastman angels, while you guys had regular angels," Ruel said with a sigh, looking up at Ellowen nervously. "I didn't grow up in the facilities like you and Davalin, so I don't have the basics of being an angel and whatnot… but I still hope we get along." Ruel smiled, his wolf tail swaying behind him—when Zyphira suddenly pointed a folding fan at him. "Yes, I hear the introductions. That's over with, so let's get the patient treated, shall we?" Zyphira said, sounding slightly annoyed as she pointed at Linda in Ellowen's arms. Linda was shivering, the remaining ice on her body refusing to melt—in fact, it seemed to be spreading. "Oh right, my bad," Ruel said as he showed Ellowen over to a hospital bed. Ellowen placed Linda gently on the bed. Without his body heat, her shivering grew worse. Ruel brought over a defibrillator and says “special invention made after more injurieslike this started happening and they were running out of magalite”. He rubbed it then increased intensity of it. "Wait… where did you get that fan from? You didn't have it before," Ellowen whispered to Zyphira. Zyphira smirked, making the fan disappear and reappear again. Ellowen just whistled, surprised. "Now, everyone, watch the magic happen," Ruel said as he stepped closer to Linda with the defibrillator. Linda dreamed of the past. A younger Linda ran through the decorated halls of a facility, her long blue hair flowing as she moved. Her jeweled dress shimmered as she reached a large door and stepped inside. "Hi, Mommy," Linda said, closing the door behind her. She rushed to the woman lying in bed and hugged her. The woman was beautiful, her lush blue hair like the ocean—her eyes the same. But her body was weak, fragile, as if it would break at any moment. "Oh, how is my little princess doing?" the woman asked lovingly, kissing Linda's cheeks over and over. "I'm doing fine. I'm still taking my lessons, still working hard like you wanted me to," Linda said with a smile. But soon her smile dropped, and she fidgeted with her fingers. "Will Daddy ever go back to being the same?" she asked. Sadness filled the woman's eyes and worry. "I'm sure Daddy will go back to being the fun, loving man you remember," she said softly, pulling Linda into bed and kissing her forehead before looking out the window at what had become of her kingdom—Velvande. The king, Richard Abel, had once been wise and kind. He cared deeply for his people, always striving to be a better king. He even married a woman of the Water Race and had a daughter with her. But then the queen grew ill. Her body weakened, her bones turning to dust. The king grew desperate, calling every doctor he could find, but none could cure her. Then came the magalite—falling from the skies, driving people mad. And no one fell deeper than Richard. He became obsessed, convinced the magalite could cure her. But it only clouded his judgment. One day, Linda overheard them. "YOU'VE BECOME CRAZY, RICHARD!" the queen cried. "These things are not cures. They won't help us!" "You don't understand, Merlinda," Richard insisted. "They are the future. With the stones, we can open a gate to heaven itself—a place where you can be healed! All we need is a way to cool the stones during the device's startup." Richard's blond hair blew in the wind, his once beautiful blue eyes now murky with mad
