Devastation rained from the sky. A brilliant teor shower of black and white crashed into titan after titan. The aftermath of each teor caused grass, dirt and mud to explode into the air. Sora dropped to one knee, bending the orb as strongly as he could.
Brie noticed how much he struggled to contain the teors. A few hit portions of the settlent, including the main castles, killing hundreds, if not thousands of innocent vampires.
"Stay calm everyone!" Dorian said as he rushed to find soone from Sora’s party.
"Where is Celeste, I need her, now!"
"I’m really not sure!" Leila cried.
Celeste heard Dorian’s cry, as she used her telepathic abilities specifically searching for her na.
"I need you to send a ssage to everyone in the settlent. Tell them to retreat, stay indoors and get in their basents. Have the Originals assemble with in Sorbella. I know we’ve lost many vampires, but we need to make sure Sora is ok!" Dorian said deliberately.
"Got it!"
Celeste sent out the ssage and used so of her magic to ease the settlent’s panic. The Original families stayed composed, despite their losses.
As the group ford in Sorbella, Dorian quickly asked for a body count.
"No biologicals for us, but about 10 of our turned. We were due for so new children anyway." Soren answered.
"Odetta was lost in the tower with 5 of our turned." Valen Grimwald answered.
"None of our biological but about 15 of our turned, as well as maids and workers. Three or four hit our tower. What are we going to do, Dorian?" Magus Moonveil asked.
"I’ll let you know after we’ve finished," Dorian said. "Caspian and Octavia, what about you?"
"Only three turned, but a large portion of our castle was destroyed, killing hundreds of our workers and staff." Caspian answered matter-of-factly.
"Fallon and Delilah were caught in the blast, so we’ve lost three of our biologicals. Our youngest used his quick thinking to save hundreds. We didn’t have much damage to our castle, fortunately. Nothing else to report, your Majesty." Eryx wrapped up.
"I am terribly sorry for your losses. Celeste will repair the settlent, but she won’t be able to bring back the dead. We must ensure no one blas Sora. This is our utmost priority. He had no other choice and saved us all. The titans would have trampled our entire settlent. I’m sure our residents heard the rumbling."
Celeste appeared and inford them they needed to get back to the settlent, quickly.
"Well, let’s not keep them waiting," Camilla said eagerly.
*****
Brie imdiately noticed how exhausted Sora looked and teleported to him. She hugged her husband from behind.
"Stay strong. You’re doing so well. I love you."
"I can’t control this much longer! How many people have I killed?! I can hear the screams."
Sora was crying. Silver tears flowed from his eyes, but he continued to power through.
"Don’t worry about that, Dorian and the others are here watching in support. I will repair the damage to the city. Stay focused." Celeste said as she put her hand on Sora’s shoulder.
Sora noticed sothing strange touching him.
’Huh? What’s going on?’
"We’re with you, son." Cyrus said proudly as he hugged Sora from the front. Sora couldn’t see him.
’I feel so much stronger. What is this?’
Sora finally stood up and began controlling the teors into titans. His aim was improving as he felt an increase in strange sensations touching his body.
"Keep going, you’re so close dear!" Jessica said confidently as she rubbed Sora’s head.
"Mom? Like Earth Mom?" Sora said as his tears began flowing more quickly.
"Yes, my dear. We’re all with you."
Sora felt tiny sensations touching his legs, his arms. His entire body continued to feel increasingly strange and increasingly powerful.
He had full command of the yin and yang orb and teors now. He was sniping titan after titan and didn’t feel exhausted.
"Keep going big bro! You got this!" the identical twins said.
"For real! You saved so many of us back then, you’re doing the sa thing now! It’s so cool to watch!" The Orphans cheered.
Sora’s beautiful silver tears beca those of happiness. He could feel the love and compassion of those aiding him.
"You finally feel it!" Chronos said with a laugh.
"I told you that you and Brie would make a great King and Queen soday." Rook bragged as Sora felt a giant increase in power with three giant palms now firmly on his back.
"You’re kicking ass dude!" Xepher Grimwald exclaid.
"Not a day goes by that we don’t miss you. We are sorry if you felt we were ever too hard on you," his foster parents said.
"Everyone here loves you Sora. You’ve impacted all of these souls in a positive way across both of your lives," the owners of the Orphanage said.
Sora felt all of their presences on his body and the strength he gained made him finally burst into joy.
Lastly, Aphrodite flew into his heart.
"My beautiful baby boy. You know I am the goddess of love. This is my power manifested in you. You’re lucky to have Brie and your party. They would all sacrifice themselves for you. I know you’re sad about those you feel you’ve killed. They were the first ones here to assist you from Paradise."
"Really? Even those I’ve killed are here because they love ?" Sora asked in amazent.
"Don’t fret mate. All us vamps lived hella long lives. I didn’t exactly think a teor from a god would kill , so I’ll have stories to tell in Paradise for eternity! What a beautiful way to go!" Fallon Blackmore said to him.
"But why can’t I see any of you?" Sora asked.
Brie noticed the battlefield was finally silent.
"You can see ."
She let go and went in front of Sora and kissed him with all the love in her heart.
’Release’
"Don’t mourn for us. Celebrate us. Please. Tell Dorian it was fun! Every mont of it." One of the Ashwood turned said.
"You’ve been through far worse than this, my son. From the alleyway, through the fire to growing up alone. I’ve watched you grow up and I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m just sorry I wasn’t there for you to see. You’ve been through more pain than anyone I’ve ever watched, but you always get through it." Jessica said, still rubbing his head.
"You’ve co so far. Don’t let loss set you back. All of us are resting in Paradise now. Don’t pity the dead, for we lived lives of happiness. Treat your party with that sa love. All of us always think of you in a positive way big bro!" the identical twins said in harmony.
"Until next ti. I love you!" Aphrodite whispered.
Sora felt the kiss on his cheek and wished he could see them.
"Thank you all so much. I love you all. You saved us today."
He felt them all finally leave, and he continued kissing Brie.
The party and Original vampires cheered and Celeste quickly teleported to rebuild the vampire settlent.
All the vampires in the settlent cheered. The party shot off magic into the sky as Brie and Sora kissed on the battlefield.
The power of love brought them the thing they needed most. Victory.
