The party was very beautiful and lively, and when it ended all guests returned home with very memorable memories in their hearts. The two most powerful Alchemist families were united tonight to become one very impressive force. Ned and Portia were like the king and queen of Rivendell in Tolkien's story.
Caspar and his small group managed to go home before the party ended with the excuse that Aleksis had to go to sleep. Before 10 pm, everyone arrived back at the hotel. Finland took Aleksis to rest but Caspar and Jadeith went to another room to meet Lauriel, who was treating Alexei's wound.
"What happened?" Caspar asked quickly. He was actually surprised to see Alexei still alive. To his knowledge, Lauriel would not forgive Alexei for what he had done to his goddaughter.
