"So be it...." Telren said walking towards the portal, "I can see just how much you want Silax back....after the sacrifice he made for you all...." he said vanishing into it. He portaled back into his lair, "the tears...the heart....just a few more ingredients and I will be ready....." he grinned.
"Then I left the kingdom under the protection of a very responsible princess...." Lanern smiled and stopped bending down on his knees, "and for that she deserves to be rewarded...." he grinned and gently tickled her. Kelveras tenderly returned her kiss, "yes dear...we will always be together..." he smiled laying on his side looking into her eyes, he gently touched her cheek, "we wouldn't have to deal with the war or everything going on between the castles if we didn't want to...we could have our own life.....free to be with each other and love each other outside all of this...."
"Rather the question is can she trust you all..." Telren said staring at Geryl, "all of you...calling her a traitor...when all shes trying to do is help...." he shook his head, "seems the Organization itself finally fell along with its headquarters...." He turned to Katara, "I am not asking for your trust...I am merely trying to comfort you...." he said opening a portal, "you have a choice Katara....you can stay with these people who are supposed to call you friend but now call traitor...or you can find shelter with me...."
The dark vial took Garxena's tear and vanished, Telren looked off to where Katara had run, "Katara...." he said portaling away, he portaled right infront of Katara and embraced her, "there there....its ok....."
Telren shook his head, "selfish...." he said, "Katara only wants to help you...and what have you done...made her attack you....." he sighed, "you just don't get it do you....do you want to see me bring him back myself?" he said looking at her. "Would that confirm that I'm bringing back the real Silax?"
Kelveras smiled and looked her in the eyes, "and if we have to....we can leave this place...." he said gently kissing her cheek, "we could go live in the outskirts...and be together...." he gently held her close, "always with my love...." Lanern smiled, "there we go..thats the Kimiko I remember...." he said walking with her towards the garden, "so Oblivion didn't try anything while we were gone did they?"
Telren released Garxena and the vial once again appeared, "all I need are tears Garxena...." he said grinning, "and I will get them....look....your so very close....being worn down....you can't help but cry....."
"I can't say dear...I'm not your mother...." Kelveras said holding her close to him and thinking, "if shes worried about the throne....I could care less....I love you June......I'm not interested in this kingdom at all...." he smiled gently kissing her cheek, "all I care about is you....." Lanern smiled, "then there is nothing to be sad about Kimiko..." he said standing up, "shes ok...and I'm ok.....hmm...would you like to take a walk through the garden...I haven't been there since we left...."
"How dare you make Katara cry....when all shes trying to do is help you...." Telren said twisting her arm even more, "she didn't do anything....this is my plan....." he said conjuring a vial out of darkness and collecting some of Katara's tears then it vanished, "you would turn on your friends.....pathetic....."
Kelveras held her close and gently kissed her back, nothing was on his mind other than being with June, he gently rubbed her back. "Princess...love...." he smiled gently touching her cheek, "I love you too...so much...." he said hugging her close. Lanern smiled and hugged Kimiko again, "thank you for telling me that...." he said moving some hair out of her eyes, "and what about you princess...how have you been....."
Telren saw his chance, he portaled away and inbetween Garxena and Katara, "well well...isn't someone being a little heartless....." he grinned taking her hand and twisting it behind her back, "your friend is trying to help you and you just push her away....how pathetic...." he said making her yelp.
"Now now Garxena....how heartless can you be...." Telren said then laughed at what he said, "ah thats right...your a nobody....can't say I'm much better though...." he grinned, "one more try Katara....then if she still refuses....I will help...."
"Don't ever say that love..." Kelveras smiled and tenderly squeezed her hand, "your my love and my life....I would give everything and anything for you....." he said laying down beside her and hugging her close, "I promised I would always be with you....and I always will be....." Lanern turned around hearing Kimiko, "princess..." he smiled hugging her gently then looking down, "I was just about to tell your mother and father that Natsuki and I have returned...."
"Hmmm....that could be a problem....but I know you can think of something Katara...." Telren said as he reached into the dark vortex and pulled out Zukko's heart, "most would assume...that this is the physically heart...." he said holding up a slightly pinkish heart, "but in reality....it is a persons true heart.....not the actual organ...." he said taking it and walking over to the table again.
Kelveras gently laid June on her bed and walked over to the drapes and opened them, "theres a little sun...." he said looking out then walking over to June and sitting beside her, "I'm so glad your ok dear...." he smiled and tenderly kissed her once, "now that your smile is back and your pain is gone...." he said gently taking her hand.
"Yes...listen to her Garxena....you want to see him again don't you?" Telren said finishing up at the table and slowly walking over to the cage with Zukko in it, "just imagine how happy you and Katara will be when you see his face.....being able to hug and know hes really back...." he grinned standing at the cage, "hmm...seems hes still unconcious...good...." he said putting his hand close to Zukko's heart and making a dark portal inside of him.
Telren continued to watch, "what will you say to that Garxena...." he said to himself, "the one person you loved...to be able to see him again...hug and kiss him....." he grinned, "wouldn't it make you feel like you had a heart again...."
Telren opened up a small portal of darkness which showed him Katara, "shes such a good girl...." he said a small grin crossing his face, "all she wants is to have someone who was precious to her back at her side....I don't blame her the poor girl...." he said walking back over to his table, "besides...the world is better off without people like you isn't that right...." he laughed glancing over at Zukko.
"I bet she will understand....." Telren said gently rubbing her back, "after all she would love to see Silax back more than anyone...other than you that is..." he smiled, "here...I'll help you out even more..." he said opening a portal, "this portal will take you directly to Garxena....try to get the tears...if not I will come help....."
"I do not know....but you must try...." Telren said turning around, "if you are unable to get them....I can help you....but you must try first...." he smiled and walked over putting a hand on her shoulder, "it will be ok...."
