The two lovers jumped into Eternalia, the eternal capital. The buildings of Eternalia glowed in the sun's rays, the streets were crowded with intelligent creatures, elves, ogres, goblins, trolls, dwarves, and gnomes, who wandered through the various shops, the multi-species library, and the large squares that populated the city by the hundreds.

The city was alive again since the invisibles had been defeated... during the last battle it had almost been destroyed by the everblaze .

The council, with the help of all the rulers, had rebuilt the capital in a bigger and more resplendent way, with different architectures. Each species had given ideas for rebuilding. Sophie and Keefe slowly made their way to the palace of Eternalia, where the councillors were sitting. This was the meeting point.

- Well, it looks like we're way ahead of schedule! exclaimed the young man.

- Yes indeed. Oh there's Oralie over there! exclaimed the young woman sending the counsellor off to chat with a guard. Sophie had finally accepted the empath some time after the battle and only her adoptive parents and friends knew about the girl's parent. Sophie waved to her mother, who noticed her. She finished her discussion with the goblin and walked towards the young adults.

- Oh Sophie, I'm so glad to see you!

- I'm glad to see you too, Oralie!

-Councillor Oralie! Keefe greeted with a curtsy.

- Oh no need to curtsy Lord Keefe. smiled Oralie. I didn't get a chance to come and tell you, Sophie, congratulations on passing your final exams. I'm so proud of you. She said in a soft voice and put a hand on her offspring's shoulder.

-Thank you! replied the young woman.

- What are you doing in Eternalia?

- We are waiting for our friends, and we are going to tell them some news," Keefe explained vaguely.

- May I know what the news is?

- Of course you can! said the young man.

- Well, Keefe and I are going out. said the telepath.

- Are you?

- Yes! confirmed the couple in unison.

- Oh Sophie, that's wonderful! I'm so happy for you. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

- Thank you, Mum. I hope the others will have the same reaction as you... which is less certain for some...

- don't be influenced by other people's opinions... we made that mistake with Kenric... and here we are... she said in a broken voice, tears coming to her eyes as she spoke of her beloved, but she stopped herself. But as they say, you can't go back, I live with the regrets now. And regrets are eternal like us...

- It's painful to live with... that's for sure..." the girl breathed.

Then a flash of light appeared near two of them, a dwarf came out of it, an Exile guard. He then noticed the counsellor turning away from Keefe and Sophie.

- What's going on?

-Councillor Oralie, greeted the dwarf. A prisoner has escaped! We don't know how... there's no sign of any escape.

-How? I... who is the prisoner? Asked the counsellor.

- ... The Red  Phantom !

- Oh no... he's back... Go back to Exile, I'm going to warn the rest of the council right now. The dwarf followed the councilwoman's order.

- I'm sorry, I'll have to go and warn the council.

- Who is the red phantom? the inflictor asked hurriedly.

- We can help look for him! Keefe exclaimed.

- I don't think you'll be able to do anything this time...murmured Oralie, but I can give you some information about the inmate who escaped..." the councilwoman paused for a moment, taking a deep breath.
