chapter 26: The Lost Family Reunion[I]

"But how, if you know, then" she wanted to cry, and he appeared beside her.

"Don't worry, all can be undone, I've spent the last few minutes finding the cure to your petrification magic, and it was relatively easy" he said as her eyes went big.

"You have the cure?" she asked desperately.

"Relax, yes I do, I already tested it on the thugs you petrified, and it works" Orion paused.

"But there was something else that happened" he added.

She looked at him horrified, realizing she smashed their hands to escape their grip, "Relax, they're perfectly fine, that's what I want to talk about" he smiled, now she was confused.

"Your magic is one of the most amazing and unique skills ever, and the potential is quite vast," he said, she looked at him, he was the only one she could look at without turning into stone.

"Miu, I want to show you something" he stated, then he called his mother in, and she came.

"Mom, I need your help really quick, because neither I nor Thyra can do this," he said.

"Of course, dear" Himari trusted her son completely, "Your hand pls," he said to his mother, then he made a small incision on her hand, and it bleed a little.

"Now Miu, I want you to look at her," he said, "I CAN'T" she instantly cried.

"My magic will…" she was interrupted, "Trust me, I have the cure after all, I want to show you the true power of your magic," he said to the girl.

Miu was scared, she didn't want to turn the nice woman into stone.

"Don't worry Miu, I trust Shiro" his mother had accidentally used his real name, "Oops, I'm sorry" she said, once she realized.

"It's ok Mom, people will find out eventually, but Miu, I would be glad if you would refrain from telling others" He stated, she nodded, and she looked at Himari, and she was instantly turned to stone.

"Now, watch what happens next," he said as he poured the magic portion on his mother, suddenly the stone started to peal like crust, and it revealed Himari, completely unarmed.

"Now Mom, show us your hand" he said to his mother, Miu and Himari were in shock, because the hand had completely healed, not even a mark or anything.

"That's right, your magic can also heal, when the petrification is undone, it heals any injuries that were inflicted on the person, so even if I were to smash a statue or someone was heavily injured before they were petrified, both could be remedied" Orion stated.

"Mom, does it hurt?" he asked his mother, Himari flexed her hand, "No, nothing, it's completely healed" she replied, still surprised.

Miu was staring in raw shock "I-I can't believe this" her eyes started to water.

"That's right, we can save your parents, and your sister and you can help so many people, you can be a hero" he smiled, his face was exposed, so she saw his full smile and she broke into tears, Himari was there to comfort her.

Thyra looked at the whole scene and was happy, Guanyin was overjoyed for the little girl.

"Thank you, Shiro" Guanyin smiled, and she left.

A few days later.

Miu is at her old family house, reunited with her now-reanimated family. They were all hugging and crying, it was rather an emotional scene.

Off to the side, Orion and Detective Atsushi Haru stood.

"I'm glad you came to me for help to retrieve their bodies we stored as evidence," Atsushi said, he was a tall man, about 5'11, with short black hair and a simple look.

"I'm glad you guys didn't dispose of the statues you collected that day" Orion replied.
