Shad's POV

I woke up in my house. Well, not really that much of a house, more like a mansion. Wait. I was 27, instead of 22. The heck?

I looked around. Why had I blacked out? Why was I in my bedroom instead of the forest, where I last was? Why did everything seem so different?

Making my decision, I cast a quick spell that shows you the date. My eye began twitching. What even? 900 years?

Holy Nether. That's crazy. I bit my lip and paced around the room, then whistled.

The phoenix, Flame (Irene is so creative), which stuck with all six of us Divine Warriors, flew in. I pet her head and wrote a letter to Irene.

Dearest sister,
If you're still here, and able to read this, which I don't doubt, I just want you to know that it's me. It's been 900 years? Can you possibly help me understand all that's happening?

If the guys are with you, or you know where they are, tell them I said hi. I'm honestly confused about all this.

Please help me, Irene. I've just randomly woken up after 900 years. What happened? Does this have something to do with the prophecy?

Where are you? That's what's most important to me.

Sincerely,
Shad

"Take this to Irene, please." I said to Flame, folding the letter and handing it to her.

Flame ruffled her feathers, took the letter in her beak, and flew away.

I stood up from my desk and began pacing around the room again.

Aphmau/Irene's POV

I was sitting in my house, which I had refurnished. Levin and Malichi were with me, and we were chatting about stuff. Just stuff.

"Zoey raised us, as a sort of aunt all our childhoods." Malichi said.

I smiled. "Good. I'm glad you had someone to be there all your life."

Levin bit his lip and glanced down. "Mom, if you're in love with someone, what do you do?"

I stared at him, then grinned. "Aww, is my baby boy in love?"

He nodded, and a light blush dusted his cheeks. "Yeah."

"I didn't know that!" Malichi exclaimed.

"That's because I didn't tell you." Levin told Malichi.

"Who?" I asked. "Who is it?"

Levin tilted his head a bit. "Alexis."

"I knew it!" I exclaimed. "Haha, I remember when you guys were kids. After Alexis woke up because she was cursed, you two, Alexis, and Kyle were all on the beach. You guys were like three, well, I mean, Malichi wasn't, but yeah."

"Wait, wasn't that when Levin said something about Alexis?" Malichi asked.

I nodded. "What did I say?" Levin questioned, narrowing his eyes a bit.

"You said she was pretty. Then I was like 'no Levin, you're to young for that kind of stuff. No'." I laughed.

Levin grinned. "Looks like I had better moves when it comes to girls as a baby then I have now."

Malichi laughed. "You did."

"Seriously though, what do I do?" Levin asked. "I really want to tell her, but I don't want to be turned down..."

I tilted my head. "Ask her on a date. If she isn't sure if she likes you, then make it a date to just see if you two would work as a couple. It's still a regular date, but if it doesn't work out, you both just move on, because you didn't actually start going out."

Malichi added to what I said. "Be completely honest with her, but don't be way too forward. Be polite, nice, and a gentleman."

"Got it. Where should I take her for a date?" Levin asked.

"Somewhere nice. Maybe a walk, take her to some hill or something and watch the sunset, or sunrise if you want, go on a picnic, go to a nice little spot in the forest and just sit and talk. Take her to dinner maybe. Just something you know both you and Alexis like, and might find a little romantic." I advised.

"Alright. I'll take her on a picnic next to the ocean, at the old docks, around sunset." Levin decided.

"Perfect." Malichi grinned.

"I'm going to go ask her right now." Levin ran off.

I looked over at Malichi. "It's going to work out. I can just tell these things. Do you have anyone you're into?"

Malichi shook his head. "No, not really. I think I'm destined to be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

I laughed. "You'll find someone. I garentee it." A phoenix flew into the room. "Flame?" The phoenix trilled and dropped a letter in my lap.

"Who's that?" Malichi asked. "And what was that?"

"This is Flame, she's a phoenix that stays with either me, or the other five Divine Warriors. She just dropped a letter, so one of my friends sent something." I explained, opening the letter.

I read it, then grinned. "Looks like your uncle is going to come here."

"What?" Malichi asked.

"This is from my brother. He wants to find me, so I'm going to bring him here. You'll get to meet your uncle." I told him.

Malichi left to go see how Levin's date request was going, and I wrote a reply letter to Shad.

Shad,
I am in a village called Phoenix Drop. Search out my majicks signature, and then you can come here. No, I don't know where Enki, Esmund, Menphia, or Kul'zak are. I think they passed out for the last 900 years as well.

I didn't. I awoke mere minutes after I passed out. I was in my dimension. I couldn't open the portal for some reason, for at least fifteen hours. A minute for a year, I lost 900 years, like you guys.

But I got out 20 years ago. Lived for five years, got sent back to my dimension for 15 minutes.

If I'm correct, you're 5 years older than you should be. I am, aren't I? The others should be 28, like me.

If you see them, have them come as well. I miss you, lil' bro.

Love your sister,
Irene

Flame didn't even wait for me to ask. She just took the letter and flew off. I laughed and went outside.
