Once Betrayed Never Forgotten

Chapter 129: Return to the Earth Realm

The battlefield is finally quiet, the last of the Void Wraiths dissipating into the ether. A sense of relief washes over me, but it’s tinged with exhaustion. We’ve fought so hard, and the victory feel surreal, like a dream that could slip away at any moment.

Verde stands among us, her presence a beacon of hope and strength. Her emerald wings shimmer in the dim light, and her eyes, now free from their cruel bindings, radiate a fierce determination. She turns to face us, her expression softening as she looks at each of us in tum.

“It’s time to return,” she says, her voice a melodic whisper that carries on the wind. “We need to restore balance to the Earth realm and ensure that the reales

With a wave of her hand, Verde creates a portal. It shimmers with a vibrant green light, planting with the energy of life and nature. The sight of it fills me with a sense of awe and anticipation. We step through the portal, leaving the gry nothingness of the Nowhere realm behind.

The transition is smooth, almost seamless. One moment, we’re surrounded by the desolate landscape of the Nowhere realm, and the next, we’re standing in the heart of the Earth realm. The difference is immediate and overwhelming.

It’s strange how even though I grew up here, I never knew it was one of seven very different, distinct realms – it was I kn–so never truly appreciated it. It was just “Earth“, or “the world“, the only world that I knew. Now, having seen the cruel Fiery Real with its lava fields and the desolate Nowhere Realm, I can finally, truly appreciate the beauty of this place.

The Earth realm is a vibrant tapestry of colors and sounds. The sky is a brilliant blue, dotted with fully white clouds that drift lazily overhead. The air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the fresh, earthy aroma of the forest. Birds chirp memily in the trees, and the gentle rustling of leaves creates a soothing symphony.

We’re in a lush meadow, surrounded by towering trees whose branches form a natural canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The grass beneath our feet is soft and cool, a welcome change from the hanh, banen terrain we’ve just left. The sun filters through the leaves, casting a warm, golden glow over everything

Verde steps forward, her magnificent emerald wings unfurling to their full, majestic span. The sunlight catches on her feathers, making them glimmer with an ethereal light. She takes a deep breath, her eyes closing as the absorbs the energy of the Earth realm.

As we stand in the meadow, Verde raises her arms, her eyes closing in concentration. The air around her shimmers with an ethereal light, and the forest seems to respond to her presence. Leaves rustle, flowers bloom, and vines trist and coll, moving as if under a spell. Slowly, the elements of the forest begin to gather around her, forming a magnificent new dress. The gown is woven from delicate petals, each flower contributing its vibrant color and fragrant scent. Rates, lilies, and daisies blend together, creating a tapestry of nature’s finest blooms. The bodice is adorned with intricate pattems of ivy leaves, their emerald green contrasting beautifully with the vivid hues of the flowers

The skirt Bows gracefully, a cascade of blossoms that rustle softly with every movement. It glimmer in the sunlight, the petals reflecting the light in a dazzling display. Vines wrap around her waist, cinching the dress and trailing down like Sowing ribbons. The entire creation exudes life and vitality, a testament to Verde’s connection to the Earth realm.

As the dress takes shape, Verde’s eyes open, and she raises her hands towards the sky. A gentle breeze stirs the air, carrying with it a swarm of butterflies. They descend upon her, their wings fluttering in a kaleidoscope of colors. The butterflies settle upon her head, forming a living crown. Their wings open and close in a mesmerizing dance, creating a halo of vibrant life around her.

The crown of butterflies is a marvel to behold, each insect adding its own unique beauty to the ensemble. The wings glisten with iridescent hues, shifting from blues to purples to greens with every Butter. The soft, delicate sound of their wings fills the air, a soothing symphony that cumplements the natural harmony of the brest

Verde stands before us in her ultimate form, a living embodiment of nature’s power and beauty. Her dress and crown are not just garments but extensions of the world around her, a seamless blend of flora and fauna. The scent of flowers and fresh leaves fills the air, mingling with the earthy aroma of the forest. The sight in breathtaking, a spectacle of wonder and enchantment that leaves us all in awe.

Her transformation is complete, and as she stands there, radiant and regal, I feel a profound sense of bape and inspiration. Verde has achieved her final form, and with her, we have the strength and beauty of the Earth realm on our side.

“I’ve missed this place,” she murmurs, her voice filled with emotion. “The warmth of the sun, the scent of the flowers… It’s good to be home.”

I watch as she strides forward, her presence commanding and regal. She moves with a grace and purpose that is almost otherworldly, her every step restoring the balance of the realm. As she walks, the grass seems to grow greener, the flowers bloom brighter, and the air becomes even more invigorating.

“Thank you all,” Vendo says, turning to face us. “Your emery and determination have made this possible. The Earth realm, and all reads, are safe because of you.”

We exchange glances, a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment filling the air. Despite our difficulties and differences, we’ve fought together and emerged victorious. There’s a bond between us, forged in the heat of battle and strengthened by our shared purpose.

Luka, still recovering from his wounds, stands beside me, his eyes filled with gratitude. “We couldn’t have done it without you, Verde, he says. “Your strength gave us hope”

Verde smiles, her eyes shimmering with tears. “And your courage gave me the strength to keep fighting,” she replies. “Now, it’s time to ensure that the balance we’ve restored remains intact.”

With a wave of her hand, Verde summons the leaders of the Earth realm. They appear from the forest, their expressions a mix of awe and reverence. Kieran steps. forward, his hazel eyes glowing with pride. He still wears his battle armour, stained block with the blood of countless Void Wraiths,

“Verde, mistress,” he says, bowing deeply. “Welcome home.”

Verde nods, her wings folding gracefully behind her. “Thank you, Lord Kieran. It’s good to be back.”

She turns to address the assembled leaders, her voice carrying a weight of authority and wisdoms. “We must ensure that the Earth realm remains protected. The halance we’ve fought so hard to restore must be maintained. We will need the support and cooperation of all the realms to achieve this.”

The leaders nod in agreement, their expressions determined. “We will do whatever it takes, Kieran says, his voice resolute. “The Earth realm will remain safe under

our watch

As we stand together, the sun begins to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the meadow. The sky is painted with hues of pink, orange, and purple, a breathtaking display of nature’s beauty. The sight fills me with a sense of peace and hope for the future.

Verde turns to me, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Arianna, your journey is not yet over. There is still one challenge ahead of you, a challenge greater than anything you have faced yet but I have faith in you. You have the strength and courage to face whatever comes your way.”

“Another challenge?” I ask, scouring my mind for answers. What on earth could she mean? “Like, another war?”

“You’ll know when it is time,” Verde says with a placid smile.

I nod, my heart swelling with determination. I won’t let you down, Verde,”

With a final smile, Verde takes to the skies, her wings catching the last rays of sunlight as she soars into the air. The sight of her, free and powerful, fills me with a sense of awe and inspiration.

As the darkness of night begins to settle over the Earth realm, Aleksandr opens a portal and we make our way back to the Castle of Endless Night.

We arrive at the castle, its imposing silhouette standing against the night sky. The familiar scent of aged wood and stone fills the air, and the flickering candlelight casts long shadows on the walls. We’re home, but there is still much to be done.
