Chapter 650 Solitude And Strategy



As they soared through the sky on Aoi's back, the group discussed the terrifying Kraken they had encountered on the prehistoric island.

"Can you imagine if that thing had attacked us?" Voli shuddered. "We would have been done for."

Fein chuckled. "Don't worry, my friends. I have increased my attack power, and I can take down that beast in one slash if I need to."

Sofia rolled her eyes. "You're always so confident, Fein. But let's hope it doesn't come to that. I don't think any of us want to face that thing again."

Aoi nodded in agreement. "I agree with Sofia. Let's hope we never have to face that Kraken again. It was truly terrifying."

Voli looked at Fein curiously. "How did you increase your attack power? Did you find some kind of powerful weapon on the island?"

Fein grinned. "Nope, I just learned a new technique. It's all about enveloping my body with special kind of golden mist. Plus, with the golden form and pre-historic form I got from you... Trust me, it's powerful."

Sofia raised an eyebrow. "Well, I hope we never have to find out just how powerful it is. Let's just focus on finding a way home, shall we?"

As they flew through the clouds, the group joked and bantered, enjoying each other's company and forgetting the danger they had faced just hours before.

Suddenly, Aoi's sharp eyes spotted something in the distance. "Hey, guys, look over there. Isn't that the portal we came through?"

Fein squinted, trying to see through the clouds. "I think you're right. Let's head over there and see if we can get back home."

As they flew towards the portal, Fein couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his abilities. He had faced danger and come out stronger, and he had his friends by his side.

Finally, they reached the portal and prepared to jump through. Fein turned to his friends with a grin.

"Well, that was an adventure, wasn't it? Who knows where we'll end up next?"

Voli chuckled. "Let's just hope it's not another prehistoric island with a giant Kraken."

The group laughed and stepped through the portal, ready for whatever new challenges and adventures awaited them on the other side. Of course, they're just actually return to their home since the Kraken Island is their final destination.

...

As the portal opened, Sofia and Aoi stepped out into Fein's living room, followed by Voli. The group was greeted by Fey, who had been waiting for them.

"Hey, guys!" Fey exclaimed, a big smile on her face as she hugged Sofia.

"Hey, Fey," Sofia said, returning the hug. "It's good to see you again."

"So, what brings you guys here?" Fey asked, looking around at the group.

"Well, Sofia's dad is going to be training her, so we'll be away for a little while," Aoi said, looking a little sad.

"But don't worry, we'll be back soon," Sofia added, giving Aoi a reassuring smile.

Fein walked over to them, a small smile on his face. "It's good to see you guys again," he said, shaking their hands.

Fey walked up to Fein and gave him a nod. "Fein," she said, her voice deep and respectful.

"Hey, Fey," Fein replied, ruffling the bear's fur affectionately. "How have you been?"

"I'm fine, Master," Fey said, her face impassive.

Fein turned to Fey. "So, what have you been up to?"

"Oh, just working with the Ranger's Eye," Fey said, a hint of pride in her voice. "I've been helping out with the paperwork and training some of the new members."

"That's great," Fein said, nodding in approval.

Sofia looked around the living room, taking in the familiar surroundings. She had always liked coming to Fein's house - it was cozy and welcoming. She turned to Fein. "Hey, can I use your kitchen to make some tea?" she asked.

"Sure, go ahead," Fein said, gesturing towards the kitchen.

As Sofia headed to the kitchen, Fey turned to Aoi. "So, what are you guys going to be training on?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"Control and precision with my ice powers," Aoi said, a determined look on her face. "I want to be able to use them to their fullest potential."

Fey nodded in understanding. "That's a good goal," she said, giving Aoi a small smile.

As the group chatted and caught up, Sofia returned from the kitchen with a tray of tea cups and a pot of steaming tea. They all settled down in the living room, enjoying the warmth and comfort of Fein's home.

It was moments like these that made them appreciate the little things in life. They may have been powerful warriors, but they were also just friends who enjoyed each other's company.

Fein entered his room, feeling a sense of exhaustion as he collapsed onto his bed. He let out a deep sigh, his mind heavy with thoughts of the upcoming war against the demons. He knew that he needed to prepare, though, his shadow army and his organization, Eyes of the Dark Knight would help him immensely.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm his thoughts and gather his focus. After a few moments, he opened his eyes and looked around his room. His gaze fell on a picture of him and Sofia, taken during one of their adventures. They were both smiling, their arms wrapped around each other's shoulders.

Fein's expression softened as he gazed at the picture, his mind wandering to the moments they had shared together. He felt a pang of sadness as he thought about the temporary separation he had suggested to Sofia earlier. He knew it was necessary for her training, but the thought of being apart from her for even a short period of time was difficult to bear.

He got up from his bed and walked over to his desk, pulling out a piece of parchment and a quill. He began to write a letter to Sofia, pouring out his thoughts and feelings onto the page.

"Dear Sofia," he wrote. "I know we discussed the temporary separation earlier, but I just wanted to say that I will miss you dearly. You are the light in my life, and the thought of being apart from you is difficult to bear. But I know that this is necessary for your training, and I support you in every way. Please come back to me safely. I will be waiting for you."

Fein signed the letter with a heavy heart, folding it neatly and placing it on his desk. He knew that Sofia would understand his feelings, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for her.

He walked back over to his bed, lying down and closing his eyes once more. He took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind and focus on the task at hand. He knew that he had to prepare for the upcoming war, and he couldn't let his emotions get in the way.
