They were looking for him, weren't they? He was here.. and the younger didn't want him to leave. Arael weakly grabbed the sleeve of Silas's jacket. "They're dead.." He murmured softly. His empty eyes moved to look down at his book, which did appear to be glowing, and he slowly reached to pick it up. When he touched it, an image flashed across Arael's and Silas's eyes. An image of the crystal, hiding within an undersea cavern. They knew where it was now.

Once the transfer was complete, the aura faded and Need a let go of Mars's hand. Lea looked much better, and she slowly opened her multi colored eyes. "Mn.. Mars.." She murmured softly.

Nera smiled some and gently placed a kiss on Mars's forehead. "Well done, my child." She murmured softly as she began to fade from their world.
