Darkness engulfed his entire vision. Wisps of smoke breathed out of his hulking body, and he was weightless. Ezra looked up, and the world started glowing just the way Helix glows… he was in the grotto. The world made a hushing around, and the lights went out. The secui circled around, starting to panic. The lights came back on slowly… Ezra kept looking around until a light at the other end of the grotto shone brilliantly. Her face met his, and she slowly walked over to him, as silent as a ghost. The two wolves met, neither of them speaking. Just as Ezra put out his muzzle to touch hers, she disappeared.
Ezra awoke suddenly, breathing heavily and sweating. The hybrid looked to his son, who was sleeping on the opposite side of the bed, pawing at something in a dream. When his breathing calmed down, memories of Ever came back. His body crumpled back onto the mattress feeling totally defeated. Ezra spent the rest of the night trying to fall asleep again, but he was unsuccessful.
When Barry’s voice rang out in the house, he decided it was finally time to get up. Eli was still asleep when he went downstairs. Ezra greeted his friend with a quick Hey, and a grin. What’s up? He asked cheerfully, determined to get the aching thoughts out of his mind.
The moment Barry explained everything, Ezra was down for the adventure even though he knew there would be a possibility of seeing old faces from the court. The gang got their eventually, Ezra and Eli’s transport conviently covered by Petra, who seemed more than happy for an excursion. Ezra had shifted and packed a small pack of his possessions. Eli was possibly the most excited of the crew; when Barry told him where they were going, the pup yipped in glee. He was more than excited, who knew what he would find there! When the group arrived, Ezra took off Petra’s tack and found the rest of the group in the crowd.
