A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Helena saw all these and smiled.

So her sister was still alive?!

This greatly gladdened her.

Alyssa landed back on the tall structure that Helena was on and calmly walked towards her with happiness in her face.

Then embracing her when she appeared in front of Olivia, she said "I am happy I came in the nick of time. What if that bastard has destroyed you? I fear just thinking about that"

Helena who relaxed herself into the warm embrace of her doting sister smiled and said "Sister, it's okay. I am still here, right? And thanks so much for saving me and helping these folks out. If not for them, I would still be in the wilderness."

"I know. But I was the one who caused all these. I shouldn't have just teleported you anywhere. Anyways, like you said, you are here. And that is the most important thing to me." Alyssa said softly while still embracing Helena.

And while in the embrace, Sylla's mom who stood somewhere with an unfathomable degree of amazement in her eyes because of all that was happening before her came forward to meet Alyssa.

"Thank you very much for saving my race and the two races that we allied with. This great help wouldn't ever be forgotten. It would remain eternally branded in our minds" She said with utmost sincerity in her tone.

Alyssa pulled out of the embrace and said with a friendly smile in her face "It's okay."

Then in the next moment, Jessica landed where Helena was and walked towards her with a smile in her face.

"Helena, meet our older sister. Her name's Jessica" Alyssa said, while Helena's eyes widened in shock.

So she's my sister too?!

Then she looked up to gaze at Jessica who was quite tall.

"Hello sis" She said.

"Hello, baby girl" Jessica said with a loving smile.

Then she continued as she spoke further "I am truly very sorry for all the ugly things that we have unintentionally put you through. It wouldn't ever happen again. Anyways, I guess the appalling and horrifying things that you witnessed or experienced have helped you to deeply comprehend what sort of world we are in. It's a world where one who is stronger would eat the other which is weaker. Not for survival. Just for the fun of dominating the weak and oppressing them. So, I believe that all the experiences that you have gathered about the world and about yourself would go a really long way for you. Well, enough is said"

Then she turned to look at Sylla's mother.

"I am sorry for the numerous deaths of the members of your race. If we had arrived on time, we could have helped you guys to change the situation." Jessica said with unhappiness in her tone.

"It's okay. We still have many members left. It's just to pick up from here and move on." Sylla's mom said. But sadness could be felt radiating off her speech.

Jessica nodded her head.

Then she turned around to face Aria and Adams who landed before her from the air.

"Thank you for averting the great disaster that unanticipatedly came upon our races" Adams said gratefully.

"It's okay. No need to mention. That's what we do and would always do if we see anyone or any kingdom subjected to the wickedness of these fiendish, evil Summoners. What you should do now is to return to your places and think of a new start from here." Jessica said while both Aria and Adams nodded their heads in agreement.contemporary romance

Then they turned to face Sylla's mom with Aria, the Blood Queen saying in a sorrowful tone "We sympathize with you on the death of your husband. He was my very good friend and as well as Adam's good friend. May this kind of unfortunate incident never rear it ugly head up again. If there's nothing else, we would like to be on our way."

Sylla's mom nodded while Aria and Adams flew down the tall platform they were on to go meet the respective members of their races.

Not long, Sylla whose eyes glistened as tears were still forming in it and rolled down her cheeks like beads, appeared before her mother with a look of intense sorrow in her eyes.

Her mother saw this and sadly shook her head in anguish. Then she hugged her tearful daughter and began to slowly rub her back to ease the pain that she felt. And as she carried out this action, she gently whispered in Sylla's ear "Don't worry child, everything's gonna be okay."

Sylla nodded her head, but she didn't stop crying. Instead, the rate of flow of her tears increased.

Helena didn't go to meet Sylla. She understood her loss and allowed her to cry away all the sorrow that had set into her heart. Only when she had cried enough and then stopped crying would she go to meet her.

After sometime, Sylla stopped crying. Then she removed herself from her mom's embrace and went forward to appear before both Jessica and Alyssa.

"Thank you" She said sincerely. But intense grief could be detected in her tone.

"It's okay. No need to say. I am just glad we appeared on time to stop those bastards from causing more problems" Alyssa said.

Sylla nodded her head.

Then she turned her head to look at Helena who came before her and embraced her.

"I am very sorry about the death of your dad. If I knew that I was powerful enough to restrain those Summoners, I would have come out to do so. I am really sorry. Please forgive me." Helena said with grief in her tone. She also understood what it meant to lose one's loved one.

"It's okay, Helena. I am not angry at you. If you didn't come out to block those Summoners and stall for time till these powerful female Summoners appeared, my entire race could have been killed. While and I and my mom would have been subjected to a fate worse than death. Thank you very much for your selflessness." Sylla said appreciably.

Then removing herself from the embrace and looking at Helena strangely in the eyes, she said "I didn't know you were that powerful. So you hid your power from me all these while? But why did you do so? And I was being sincere about my entire life with you. I told you all of my secrets not knowing you were keeping yours from me. Not fair"

"No. Please, don't think like that. It was never my intention to do so. I didn't know how your race was when we first appeared before you people. So I decided to hide my powers and blend in so we could live harmoniously with the people of your race. I am really sorry for not telling you about my abilities earlier. Please forgive me. I will always come clean with you from now on, I promise" Helena said.

"Hmm. I will forgive you. But don't you ever hide anything from me again" Sylla said while Helena nodded her head.

Then before anything else could be said between them, Jessica who suddenly came forward to meet them, said to Sylla in a serious tone "Actually, her stay here is over. We are taking her away to where she would go and hone her magical skills and combat abilities."
