Chapter 26 Twenty-six

Third Person POV
The Guardians are surrounded by so many wolves. They can no longer fight because their bodies are already weak.
They are currently facing the galaxy-colored portal. This is called the Gate of Erioe.
A few seconds after they entered the Gate of Erioe, they had reached their world. Dull, and only pure darkness. Trees and plants are all withered. There was no life around, and it was miserable to watch. Only the light coming from the full moon delivers gleam to the atmosphere.
"Put them all in the cell," the captain ordered which was immediately obeyed.
They were pushed one by one and shoved into the cell. Inside, Kairo, Kris, and Zillan are settling quietly. There are also two molds of mud—human form.
The princess sat down. While everyone is not sure what they will do.
Everyone was shocked by Roland's punch to June. June fell on the ground. "Why didn't you do anything?!" Roland climb at June's top and clench him over his collar. "We call you our leader but you didn't say anything… You didn't do anything!!" he punched him again.
"Roland, stop!" Gio said
"Roland!" Womin said.
"Roland, stop it!" shouted Zillan.
The others were also worried. He punched June again and kick him on his arm. June, on the other hand, remained silent.
"You're just next to Celine! You can take her away, but why didn't you?!"
"Roland," said Gray
"Yeah, maybe we weren't in disadvantage if only… We can run away! We talked about it before, didn't we? I can do something but why are you stopping me?!" They were all stunned. "If you have a plan tell us! Make us obey! Make us move… June, tell us…"

Solenn POV
Too much tension enfold us. We were in a cell with only a small light coming from outside. On the way in, there are lamps hanging on walls.
June remained calm. "I-I have no plans…"
We chose to surrender to them.
Jake even tried to attack earlier, but all of a sudden his power didn’t work. And we don’t know the reason. So until now none of them have the strength and possess the power of the crystal. Seems like their power shuts down all of a sudden.
Roland sighed in annoyance. "Then we'll just let go of and give surrender the power of the crystal? How about the sacrifice of the four of them?! Will it just disappear in a blink of an eye?! How about our world? Erioesnemia, the civilians, the creatures that we protect… the trust of Wisteria… "
Leo approached Roland. He touch Roland's shoulder. "Calm down… It's not right to blame, because first of all, we didn't expect what happened…"
Roland burst out laughing. "Unexpected?! It's time for us to change the present, isn't it?!" he looked around at everyone. "What?! Tell me, are we going to die again?! It doesn't matter what we worked so hard to escape?! Our powers are gone. It will be in the hands of whoever is sitting on the throne now. We will die, everyone!"
"Don't talk like that…" said Gray. "Maybe there's another way. We can still think, can't we, June?"
"Gray is right, let's just calm down. We'll think of a way," Kairo said. "It's not impossible"
"All right, let's see if our leader can do something right,"
"Roland, that's enough…" I turned to Celine. "It's my fault, don't blame June. I decided it… H-He has nothing to do with it…"
Roland disappointedly blew his breath. "You're right, it's your fault…"
Hunter frowned. "Roland, calm down, ease your anger… The princess is in front of you, you forgot?!"
Roland didn't listen to it.
Waah, what is going on with them?
"I'll admit… I was upset when I found out you were with them to catch us one by one. Celine… You know I tried to run away and beat them because I know you're here, I'll save you, we'll be together Guardians… We'll save Erioesnemia! But… But what did you do?!"
Hunter was about to approach Roland when Kris stepped between them. "Hunter, cut it. You're in the right frame of mind so relax," Hunter clenched his fist and averted his eyes.
Gio and Kairo helped June get up.
"Is it bad to think about all of you?" said Celine.
Where is this fight going?
I secretly looked at everyone. Some look away, others look down. Larmine and Arlene just stared into space.
I say something so that I could change the mood when Celine spoke again. "I did it so you can live… I'm afraid what happened before will happen again, so forgive me if this is the only solution I can think of!" One by one her tears flowed. "I'd rather choose...we live together even if the whole place is dark, than with a beautiful view but I don't have you!"
Everyone was stunned. In fact, what happened then was a huge trauma for everyone.
As for you, you know you died, what are you going to do? You find out that your loved ones have disappeared in an instant, and now you have been given the opportunity to be with them again, what are you going to do?
If I were Celine I would do what she did. I don't care what anyone else says, or what the consequences will be.
"I saw… I saw it with my two eyes how one by one I lose you all… Will I let that happen again?!" cried Celine. "Now I still have a chance to change that?! So forgive me if this is my decision…"
Roland stopped talking and just left, before sitting down in a corner. The others did nothing and just sat down. This cell is large so the others are also far away.
I gulped.
I am not used to this situation. They are too distant from each other.
I sighed.
Larmine and Arlene and I accompanied Celine to one side. Gio, Womin, and Hunter also approached us. We calm Celine down because she is still crying.
"You, are you okay?" Gio asked me. I nodded.
Gio held my hand which in turn surprised me. In fact, I shouldn't be surprised here because that's how we used to be. I just smiled. It's just that...my heart beat so fast.
I saw Womin mess up Arlene's hair. With a sigh I turned to Celine. She calmed down a bit and just sobbed.
"Gio…" I said. "What happened in the forest?" I still don’t feel comfortable there.
Gio smiled before speaking. "When you passed out, I was already feeling weird around. So, even though I didn't know it would work, I just tried." He glanced briefly at the two human -shaped figures there. "I molded a human body that looked like Ren and I. I knew I was sloppy before I could do that. Then I didn't know how Ren brought that to life. We stood in the distance and we watched you. I could see how you were. It was difficult then, I tried to approach you a few times but Ren stopped me because we had a bad feeling. Until you shouted and time stopped running, we also didn't know how it happened. Some soldiers suddenly showed up. and caught our impostors. But before they could do that, I took you. "
That's why.
I heard the fairy song, she warns me. Warns that something is coming. She are guiding us as she promised.
The silence that had formed here inside the cell was broken when Zillan spoke. "I-I have something to say…" We remained silent and waited for what he would say.
I can see how he gulped. He was as if he was going to give us a heavy piece of information. Kairo and Kris looked at each other, before turning to us.
"T-The l-leader o-of the rebellio—"
"Say it rigth away!" Roland's complaint.
His head is already hot. It's scary to even talk to him.
"He's the king's twin…" we were all stunned.
At the same time the soldiers arrived and opened the lock of the gate. "Come with us. You are summoned to the palace."
We all looked at each other.
