When my power floods into him, it courses throughout him and brings his soul back. As soon as it comes back, I see that it's already cracked, but my healing power mends his soul with my piece. It covers his crack and latches on to his, blending them into one. As soon as it's pieced together, my powers return to me.
He’s silent for a moment, but then his chest begins to move, and his hazel eyes open. He blinks a few times and then glances around. "Chris?" His voice is weak.
"Yes?" I take his hand and squeeze it. I hope he's going to be okay with me bringing him back.
"Am I alive?" He sits up and looks around. "Wait... Are we back on Earth? But the Water Artifact."
"It's over. I found the artifact, and now I'm whole." My palms become sweaty. Maybe I made a mistake. "You died, and I found a way to bring you back whole."
His face turns thoughtful, and then he throws his arms around me. "Thank God. I've been wanting to get back to you the entire time." He pulls me against him and kisses my lips.
"Also, I found Beth and released her soul." He needs to know this. She’s his sister after all. "She finally has peace."
"I love you so damn much." He brushes the hair back from my face and grins. "Thank you. Knowing she has a chance for happiness brings me comfort."
Speaking of comfort... "Are you ready to go home? I'm tired of adventures and want to sleep in my own bed."
”I’ll do anything with you as long as I get to stay by your side." He stands and takes my hand. "I'm ready when you are."
For the first time in my life, I can do whatever I want to do. I'm finally in charge of my own destiny.
