It was time to give him back his missing piece. That didn't make it any less painful for his beloved.
Now that her duty was fulfilled with Malaika, she was almost free to go back to her lover. Samira watched Lahan slowly wake from his slumber.
The soul fragment they returned worked its magic. Inside the room, everyone waited patiently for their hero.
To their surprise, the first word Lahan uttered was a frantic, "Brother!" He sat up abruptly looking around. Once his gaze fell on a shocked Malik, he sighed in relief.
Pagan closed his eyes trying to shake off the images from the explosion. If he had reacted a little slower, Malik would have truly been hurt.
The damage would be irreversible as well. He felt grateful to Samira for her prompt warning. Samira?
His head snapped up as his gaze finally met his beloved. He couldn't help but pull her into a tight embrace.
