Lupin was still wondering about what Coelestin said to him while he was under the effect of the anesthesia. He looked at him, "Where are your parents now though?" He asked.
"My parents were eaten up by X-DROIDs, leaving me and Loan alone. He tried to kill me so I exiled him from Switzerland," Coelestin told him.

"Yes, and Loan is back now," He heard and saw Veronique stand beside Lupin.
"What the–When did you come?!" Lupin moved away from her.
"Just now,"

"What do you mean he is back?" Coelestin asked.
"Loan, he is planning to take over your throne,"
"WHAT?!" Coelestin got up and fell on his bed again in pain, "Argh!"

"Don't move, Coelestin!" Lupin ran towards him.
She walked towards him and pulled out a little bottle of a blue serum, "I got a little something to fix you, your highness"

Lupin looked at the serum, "What is that?"
She turned towards him, "Medicine, it is called Briti-oxaminecrin 192 strain. Get a syringe and give it to his highness," She told Lupin. He filled a syringe with it and brought it near his arm, "No," Veronique interrupted him, "Give it intravenously,"

Lupin then went for Coelestin's wrist and slowly pushed the syringe into his veins. Coelestin looked at his veins slowly glow green. They went throughout his body and slowly, his bruises healed, "Future surely has all kind of creepy shit," Lupin said.

Next day, Coelestin was up on his feet again, all the pain was gone, wounds gone, he was as good as before.
"Congratulations, your highness, you are well now," Veronique smiled.
"What do you plan to do now?" Lupin asked.

"Go back to the castle and get what is mine," Coelestin said.
"The coronation is in three days," Veronique informed him.
"Then, we have to be fast, I can't let him sit on that throne,"
"Why? Is he evil?" Lupin asked.

"Fuck evil, I do not care about that. All I know is that he is trying to take what's mine again so I need to crush him and put that coward back at his place again,"
"...I almost forgot how arrogant this chap is," Lupin said.

Veronique gave him a bag full of armour and a bodysuit. He wore the body suit and then over that, he wore his armour and appeared much bigger and stronger. Lupin stared at him transforming himself back into a warrior prince from a fragile child, "You don't look cute anymore," Lupin sounded disappointed.

He smirked, "I'm not supposed to look cute, doctor. My crown is smeared with vengeance, and now my throne thirsts for the blood of my step brother," He wore a red cape over his platinum armour. He wore his black lenses over his eyes and over his head he wore a helmet.

Veronique gave him a tungsten electric rod, "Your weapon, your highness. If this rod touches something, it turns pointed at that end and can even pierce through a block of iron. It releases electricity so make sure you don't touch it barehand or you may end up burning yourself,"

"Thank you, Veronique. I will make sure to reward you handsomely for this immense help. And you too, doctor. Tonight, I shall leave for Bern, I have to reach there before sunrise. Whether I spill blood or not depends on my welcome by my dearest brother," He held the rod in his hand and looked out of the window, "Farewell allies," He jumped down the window and flew towards the sky as he boots gave out fire.

Lupin looked at him go, "I still think he looks better without that armour and that bloodlust aura of his, you know, like a normal teenager,"
"He is a prince ruling the entire planet, Lupin, dethroned by dirty politics, out for revenge and ready for a war. Nothing about him is normal. You seem to forget that again and again,"
"Aren't princes supposed to live in luxury?"

"Oh, you mean good for nothings like Loan? You know what I love about Prince Coelestin? He doesn't take his position for granted and he is not afraid of war. He has established his position as a supreme leader, unlike other royal brats who just take it from their ancestors. He is skilled in all weapons and is a great warrior. At this time, we need someone like him. If Loan is crowned as the next King, we are doomed,"

Lupin crushed his cigarette into the ashtray and walked towards the bed. He began wrapping up the sheets, "I will miss seeing him like a regular fifteen year old,"
"He'll be sixteen in three days,"

"WHAT? We should totally get a gift," Lupin laughed as he put the sheets to laundry and spread the newly washed sheets on the bed.
"Gift? How about a throne? Help him win his throne back," Veronique said.

"Sure, we just gotta help him so he doesn't die," Lupin said.
"Trust me, he won't. You need that help more,"
"I AM STRONG, OKAY? I guess,"
"Don't worry, I will protect you," She smiled, "Oh that reminds me," She looked at Lupin, "They are going to kill Ben on the same day as the coronation,"

. . .

Meanwhile, back in the past, Clanthido flew in the sky and soon reached the Ocean. He saw Evelyn, surfing on the waves.
"No way..." Clanthido flew towards him, "Xelevyni!"

"Woah!" Evelyn fell into the water and waves died down. He looked at Clanthido, "Who are you?"
Clanthido came closer to his face. He looked into his eyes and pressed his hands on his face, "It is you..."

He didn't understand the language he was speaking, but it felt familiar.

"What do you... mean?" Evelyn looked into Clanthido's eyes and remembered certain visions flashing for seconds into his eyes. Him wearing a spacesuit, Clanthido hugging him goodbye, them looking at a computer screen.

"Dàs elman vuītyă kjör stabh, Xelevyni!" Clanthido said and Evelyn slowly stood on the water surface, staring ahead in a daze. He tried to listen more clearly what Clanthido had to say. Clanthido hugged him gently, "Iģ minoř shj,"

Evelyn just stared into nothingness as he felt Clanthido's slow and irregular heartbeats, they were different from Slaine's heartbeats, from Jimmy's heartbeats, from Lupin's heartbeat.

But finally, in a strangers arms, he felt terribly safe and slowly hugged Clanthido back gently. He found a heartbeat that matched his own. Clanthido moved away from him,
"Vilnshy gharietté nïn, rá?" He laughed. Evelyn looked at him as his words slowly resonated in his head.

"Vilnshy gharietté nïn, rá?"

Vilnshy gharietté nïn, rá

Vilnshy...gharietté...nïn...rá

Vilnshy
gharietté
nïn...
rá?

"Surprised to see me, huh?" Evelyn said, "Vilnshy gharietté nïn, rá?"

"Bihalo na mesh Iģ, mekh ya toik vikhan?" Clanthido laughed.
"That's what I said why are you repeating it?" Evelyn said.
"Izdaj remekh jut va? Ez ramien volou, haha!"

"...How come you're still so young?" Evelyn slowly translated it to English "You look just the way you did when you left us,"

Clanthido held his hand, "Uvoii, Ameradite zim enņ"
"Come, Ameradite...awaits you,"
Clanthido reached out his hand and Evelyn held it. His body glowed purple and they flew towards the sky.

Evelyn looked at him as they flew,

'Why do I feel so safe with this stranger? Why do I understand everything he is saying? Does that mean that he is not really a stranger? Wait, I just realised... I don't remember anything before I met Slaine?'
