97 A New Plan (2/2)
There was murmuring through the crowd as they took notice of Aiden next to their prince. ”Didn't he swear to end Will? Why are they standing together now as if they are friends?”
”He is with me now, because he is going to head the Embassies all over this world.” Will spoke firmly as the murmuring became a choir of shouts. ”I am not to be judge and jury over all with the aura!” He yelled, using his aura to amplify his voice. ”All within this world that wish for the aura will have it.”
”That means criminals and warmongers will also be able to use these abilities!” Someone spoke up from the crowd.
Will nodded. ”That's true, which is why Aiden is going to oversee an upgrade in jails and prisons. Instead of the common iron bars of the cells, or bullet proof glass, they will have the black iron bars of Crystallia, which can negate our power.”
”Look.” Will cut off any other complaints. ”I'm not going to lie to you and say that this is going to be easy.” He looked as many in the eye as he could. ”We are just going to have to get stronger. I know I'm going to have to as well, which is why I'm leaving this task to Aiden. If I find out that any are going against him, just know that you are also going against me. And I think we've been through too much to find ourselves on opposite sides in this matter.”
”What are you going to do?” Alex called up as Will was about to depart the stage, leaving only a somewhat overwhelmed looking Aiden to watch over everyone.
”I'm going back to Crystallia to confront someone I feel will be waiting for me.” Will said with a sigh. ”I think someone left a back door open when Aiden came through from his own world, and I think we are in serious trouble. I need to figure out how to get the whole of Euphellia under one banner, or the other me is going to have a buffet style massacre across all borders.”
Will patted Aiden on the shoulder one more time. ”You said that I shouldn't have all of this power, Aiden.” He said with a hint of amusement. ”So show me how you can do it differently.”
With that, Will's crimson and gold aura filled the room as he flew over everyone's heads and out the door. He touched down when he left the hall, right next to an awaiting Maya.
”Are you ready to go home?” Will asked with a shaky breath. He didn't know what to expect, other than a completely different Crystallia waiting for him on the other side.
Maya held him close and planted a kiss on his neck. She had changed into her blue jeans and black and gold blouse that Will had liked so much. ”Anytime.” She gave him a wink as he willed a portal to life in front of him. No matter what they met on the other side, at least they would be meeting it together.
