I got up slowly. I gripped my head. I look around. It was pretty much a reunion. The rocks started to turn to dust. Rapunzel was hugging her family. I walk over to them. 

"Hector, you did this." Frederic smiled.

I give him my hand. 

"It's time I forgive you." I say. 

He took my hand. I wince.

"Ow." I mutter. 

"Sorry." Fredric said.

The Brotherhood walked over to me. I stare at them. Edmund puts his hand on my shoulder. 

"You've done well Hector." He said.

"You might not want to be touching me. I'm kind of painted red." I chuckle.

Ibis nudged me and licked me. Anubis and Seth rubbed their heads on my legs. I wince. I'm still in a lot of pain. My wounds were still apparent.

"Hector, I know you don't like being hugged but..." Edmund started. 

"Ugh, fine bring it in." I smile.

Edmund was first. I wince. Then Adira and Quirin. This felt good it felt warm. This is the warmest I've felt in a while. Zhan Tiri is finally gone. I made amends with Frederic. I think everything is going to go uphill now.
