Rodney watched himself leave his body behind as he rose towards the heavens. A flash of light later though and he found himself physical and with vines covering him as he stood before the celestial castle.
“Nova? Nova!” Rodney yelled out but got no answers.
“Rodney?” Lyss questioned as she melted the vines off of her and joined his side.
“Lyss! You’re okay. I’m so glad but have you seen your brother?” Rodney questioned and Lyss just shook her head a small smile on her face.
“Nova is moving through time as we speak. Rixheia made the mistake of telling Nova that we all died so he used almost all of his magical energy to send our souls here and give us our regular physical forms. Although I believe it’ll be a few years until any of us can use our magic again. By doing this though Nova sent himself hurtling through time and until his timeline lines back up with ours we won’t be able to contact him nor him contact us. We can watch him through the mirrors of the castle if we wish to make sure he’s okay. But we won’t be seeing Earth again for a very long time.” Araceli explained as she stepped out of the entrance of the castle pulling a thorn out of her arm.
It’s been five years since that day and Rodney just wandered the castle with a hand mirror on him at all times watching as Nova showed up before Asmund before their fight against the king and queen and again when Asmund was a child.
It wasn’t until fifteen years later that Rodney felt a shift in himself.
“Mom is calling a meeting in the central grove!” Florina called into Rodney’s room and he immediately followed her knowing the shift and the meeting had to be connected. They had to if he was going to remain sane.
“Alright everyone good news. Nova has finally been tied back in with our timeline. Bad news is he can’t contact us. But the other good news is that Anthony and Skylar’s pendants have been cast back to Primwall and should appear before those that are worthy. So hopefully we’ll all be seeing Nova soon.” Araceli explained with small tears rolling down her eyes.
None of them had looked like they aged a day but neither had Nova. Rodney cried happy tears that night hoping his pendant would be the next cast and Nova would find it but his luck was never high he learned as he found himself in the hands of Giel and facing against Nova trying to fight Giel’s commands.
Every moment of the last twenty years had felt so empty and then there was a glint of light in the distance before it was snuffed out by Giel once again.
