Chapter 18:

After the Battle

WHEN I WOKE UP AGAIN, everything had changed. Just how long had I been out?! There were more people gathered in the street around us, including Earl Bourne and the other members of Lahmu.

“Guys,” said Emma. “Noir’s awake.”

“Good morning, Emma. And…everybody else.”

“You’re name’s Noir Stardia, right?” asked Earl Bourne. “I must thank you from the very bottom of my heart for everything you did tonight!”

He shook my hand and even made a show of casually kicking Tom in the process.

“Oh, I really didn’t do anything,” I said. “Leila and Emma did all the hard work.”

“Don’t say that!” Emma protested. “I was asleep for most of it. Who knows what would have happened to me if you hadn’t been there.”

“Yeah,” Leila agreed. “I don’t think I would have succeeded without Noir’s assistance.”

The earl beamed at me. “I wish to reward you tomorrow,” he said. “Whenever you like. Thanks to you three, the Mermaid’s Tear is mine once more.”

Apparently they had already retrieved the gemstone. The earl was, obviously, overjoyed.

“We’ll take care of the rest,” he said. “Feel free to take your leave and get some rest.”

“I think I’ll do just that.”

It was just as well. I don’t think my body could take any more. Emma and her parents helped me up. Leila was staying, so we promised to meet up again soon. With that, we set off home.

“I can’t thank you enough for saving Emma,” said Ladan.

“Indeed,” Romy agreed. “You really are her hero, Noir.”

They must have been so worried, but they were smiling now. Emma linked her arm through mine, humming to herself.

“Hmm, hmm, hmm!”

“Someone’s in a good mood,” I said.

“Of course I am! You came to my rescue.”

“What else was I supposed to do? If I got kidnapped, wouldn’t you come after me?”

“Absolutely. I would follow you to hell and back.”

“Well, if that ever happens, I’m counting on you.”

“You got it,” she promised.

When we reached their home, we went our separate ways. I was starting to feel unsteady. It had been a really long night, you know, what with the deadly face-offs against two super powerful thieves.

“If only I were stronger…”

Everything had turned out all right in the end, but there was no way I could have won on my own. Without Leila, I couldn’t have taken on Tom, let alone Phan and all of the creatures she summoned. If I was going to protect the people I loved, I had to get stronger, I just had to. After all, my master was the legendary Olivia. I could damn well do better than this.

Those thoughts swarmed in my head right until I opened the door to my house. Greeted with the familiar sights of home, I immediately relaxed.

<Ooh, Noir, you are finally back.>

“Welcome home, brother dearest!”

Alice and Tigerson came to greet me. They both looked absolutely exhausted.

“Did something happen?” I asked.

<Your father is absolutely impossible.>

“He hasn’t been able to find a place for us to set up Stardian Rarities,” said Alice.

“Oh, I see. Well, just leave that to me.
