The Price Of Resurrection

Chapter 1: The Leaf Knight's Revival

Sun's P.O.V.

I felt my blood turn cold the moment my eyes came upon Leaf. I never even thought that this would happen, but it did. I knew death was inevitable, after all, seeing Roland in his Hell Knight uniform everyday reminded me just how much of what happened to him, but why... why did it have to be Leaf?

'The Leaf Knight was dead' this thought struck me speechless "He's an archer! How could he die?!' I knew the answer all too well. It was my fault he died. I would go through hell and back for my brothers, even if I had to die in the process.

I yelled at them, I knew I had no right, I was just angry at… who? Myself for leaving them? Or at Ann for bringing us on this wild goose chase? I knew I was just trying to pin the blame on them, to vent my frustration, I was the one who left, I didn't even come back when I found out it was just teacher and Aldrittz

Ann yelled back, she seemed just as distraught as I 'I know its my fault…' but even then my pain was soon replaced by anger. 'How could she even dare yell back at me when this was all her fault to begin with? She was the one who collaborated with her sister for the unneeded game of cat and mouse!'

I wanted to hit her right there, for yelling at me and for killing Leaf, I wanted to tell Mike exactly the reason why she came with us; Just so the Princess Alice could run away with her kidnapper. I wanted to go right up to him and tell him the real reason we were never able to come so close as to catching a glimpse them.

I relented, not because she is a princess, oh heavens no, but because I needed to resurrect Leaf.

"I'm going to resurrect him" this was not me trying to escape reality, I would pay any price to see to my brother's continual well being

'Even at the cost of my life'

Austin looked somewhat excited, I don't blame him really, even with a hundred lifetimes it would be rare to get a first hand account of resurrection. "I need you to protect me incase they come back" they stayed, surrounding me. I doubted that they would come back but I couldn't take any chances.

"Let my blood run through his veins…' I began chanting as I drew the circle and words into the ground and poured my blood into Leaf

'God of light, are you listening?' I asked as I looked to the sky the divine sword resting on Leaf's fatal wound 'I, Grisia Sun, am willing to pay any price. Just let Leaf live, even if it means my death'

For once, I wished I could really get the God to listen to me.

The Holy Light exploded around me, my heart hammered in my chest as I looked down to Leaf as I pulled the sword away.

He was alive, coughing heavily as if he could never get enough air, he was breathing.

"LEAF!-" I wanted to shout at him, I wanted to hit him for being reckless. My brother was back, even when Austin looked to me in amazement I couldn't help but detect a look of fear in his eyes as Ann and Mike stood their motionless, why were they readyithere hir weapons!? I turned around quickly, only to meet with no one I couldnt even feel any magic

"Sun!" and with those words I soon found myself surrounded by darkness.
