Cloudhawk's trip to the divine matrix had taken a lot out of hiet soed to infiltrate the God's ather what he was sure was priceless infor was possible If they could find a way in, as stopping the a real virus into the system? They could battle the Gods from the inside
It was at least worth a try
“Our findings are fruitful, but ht the Gods in the future” Cloudhaas understandably excited about the results and shared thereat way to learn h, a fact which Cloudhawk noted right away “What's wrong?”
She shook her head Extending a hand she gently placed it on his face and gazed into his silvery eye It was stil ldull and covered by a fil out of it yet, but Wolfblade says in time the Eye of Time will recover When that happens I'll be able to use it in our fight” Cloudhawk knew Selene had concerns He tried to assuage theently as he kne “I think I can confidently say there aren't many who can threaten me That's especially true noith the eye Even those that seem invincible will show me their weaknesses, thanks to you”
Selene dropped her eyes “You don't need to co to coht a lot about things and have co to dwell on the issue “I want to be a part of the Green Alliance and fight with you in the cohted by what he heard “I appreciate your fighting spirit I have coht now your condition still isn't stable We don't knohat kind of after-effects the Avatar's power ht have on you I think you still need to rest for a little while”
“No I knohat I want, and I am confident I can do any job you put before aze It was firht about what I wanted and never really worked by your side I want to do that noith you, shoulder to shoulder Fros No regrets Cloudhawk, I know you understand”
She understood the truth After the events of the past few years, Cloudhaas all she had left As the Avatar she had nearly destroyed the Alliance She'd al back fro there was to lose Pity and pain , for none of it would couilt of the past she was determined to do what she could about the future
She'd co right in front of her He had been that light ever since they clawed their way through death and darkness together in the wastelands Gods, demons, humans, all the animosity between… she didn't care But Cloudhawk did, and she wasn't going to stand on the sidelines Froh it all, his shi+eld and sword
Cloudhawk didn't have an insight to her ue he simply nodded his head “We haven't had anyone to fill the old drunk's position since his death It's yours if you want it”
Vulkan had served as the Green Alliance's lieutenant-governor, responsible for coordinating with Wolfblade and dealing with the various matters of state The demon elder was quite busy, so Selene's assistance would be a great help There was no doubt about her capabilities, either physically or in other areas
“I hope you aren't carrying anything you don't need to You aren't alone, you have me and the entire Alliance with you” Cloudhawk took her somewhat cold hand “We'll face the future side by side to the very end, whatever fate has in store Together forever, alright?”
Selene pressed herself into his ar a volcano of eently kissed her cheek and whispered into her ear: “Will you stay with me today?”
“As you wish”
He was so, so tired It wasn't just from his trip to the divine matrix, but a bone-deep exhaustion that came from days of endless work It was time to take a break, at least for a little while Today would belong to the two of the, Cloudhawk stirred fro time since he felt so relaxed
Selene lay quietly in his ar off her snohite skin She ake already and let the ti at him She hadn't wanted to disturb the rest he so desperately needed, so she just lay there and enjoyed the warmth
