Peter had no answer to that, but he didn't disagree.

“Good,” Alexander said. “Ariel needs to return soon anyways, so we were thinking of leaving as soon as you were ready.”

“No time like the present,” Peter said, although he said it without enthusiasm. “What about the issues here at the palace that should be dealt with?”

“Nicholas has been in charge before while I've been away. It will be nothing new. Earth will be calm, relaxing, and you can focus on yourself.”

“Exciting,” Peter said, without much enthusiasm “I also know I won't be able to use magic there.”

“No,” Alexander admitted, “you won't. But I will be there for you, Brother, until you make a choice.”

“If this is what it takes,” Peter replied, “for you to let me be free, then so be it.”

“Thank you,” Alexander said. “Earth will be relaxing and boring. You'll have plenty of time to regain what was lost.”

Ariel leaned on the doorway, watching them. Frankly, she wasn't one for emotional family reunions. But she had also never seen Alexander so emotional, so torn down. She didn't realize this would affect him so much.

“Let's hurry up before I'm late,” she said, clearing her throat. “You know I hate rushing into the theater.”

“How do we do this?” Peter asked. Alexander led them just outside of the prison where the magic wasn't blocked. “I've never taken the magic to Earth. Not even when we were boys.”

“I can do it,” Alexander reached his hand out. Ariel took one, and Peter the other.

“Can you do this with all three of us?” Ariel raised an eyebrow at him, and he met her eyes.

“Are you challenging me?” he asked.

She shrugged. “Look, if you could convince them not to dock me for not showing up, the two of you can go by yourselves,” she teased. She said it in English, not because she was afraid of Peter's opinion, but because she didn't want him to worry about anything else. She felt sorry for him, even if she was angry about him for abandoning Alexander.

“Perhaps a show would do him good,” Alexander said, as the magic began to swirl.

Transporting himself and Ariel was hard enough, but pulling his brother along was a little more difficult. Still, as crown prince, he should have been able to do it, even if he used up his store of magic for the week.

When they got to Earth, however, Alexander dropped to his knees, panting as the color left his face. Before Ariel could get to him, Peter placed a hand on his shoulder, crouching down. He said a few words, low enough that Ariel couldn't understand. What she did see, though, was an older brother comforting a younger brother.

She was used to Alexander being drained, and it was only a few moments before he rose. She recognized that he had taken her to the back alley beside the hotel they were staying at, so nobody noticed. His distressed brother, however, distracted him from the roar of the city.

She gave them a moment, and eventually, he recovered his strength, rising.
