Chapter 12: "Purpose"

Rose had gone after William after he stormed out, she had finally caught up to him, "William you must be hurting, I'm sorry you had to go through that but I believe joy was trying to protect you, I know it's hard to deal with but you're not alone," said Rose.

William's back was turned to her he then said, "thank you, Rose, for coming out here, I understand now," while he was turning around to face her she felt this different energy coming from him, his eyes had a different look, "William?" she said, he smiled and said "My Resolve Is Clear," he then had another flash memory from the ring, he saw a sword deep within a cave.

The cave seemed familiar to him, " Rose I know how I can save them now and I'm going to need your help to do so," said William, " ok that's wonderful, I'm ready to help," said Rose with a smile, by this time it was almost morning so he and Rose made their way back to the house, Joy didn't get any sleep at all she was up worrying about William, she was relieved that he had come home.

She was crying so William went over and gave her a hug and said, " I'm sorry and thank you for saving me, I'd be right dead now if it wasn't for you," she started to cry, even more, her crying even woke Zeph who was still sleeping, he came out staggering "where are they?" he asked, " take it easy now they are long gone, what's your name?" asked William," dammit, how could you let them escape, those bastards took everything away from me," said Zeph.

"Hey, they had help remember and we were taken by surprise," said Rose, Zeph then had a memory flash that gave him a headache, he held his head, " yeah now I remember, I lost control of the possession and passed out, my name is Zephyr but you can call me Zeph," said Zeph.

"Ok, nice to meet you, you were incredible back there you saved our skins, I'm William and this is Rose and that's my mother Joy, Evan my brother and Thomas, we heard what that guy said about your family, it's messed up," said William, " I have been looking for those guys for over three years now but it's like they just vanished until now, I have to avenge my family," said Zeph with his fist clenched, " you have been alone for so long, that must have been hard," said Rose.

Zeph sat down, " I wasn't strong enough to defeat them but next time I won't fail, they took everything, everyone I loved," said Zeph.

"Even though it's new to me I know what that feels like, I want to help you to defeat them as well but there is something I want you to help me retrieve," said William, " hey you should stay a bit here it's a nice place and the people are kind and friendly," said Rose to Zeph, "So?" asked William, "okay, I guess, by the way, what do you want to retrieve?" asked Zeph, " I'll tell you later on tonight just get some more rest you'll need your strenght, Rose and Evan you're included on this little mission too as well ok," said William.

"Ok brother, you seem very excited about it," said Evan," yeah I am," said William, this was the beginning of something new, new friendships, new bonds, William has now found his purpose and this will require the strength of his new friends, their worlds are about to change forever.
