Chapter 44
Marion led the way back from the waterfall, and Fiona followed, and she stayed quiet even as she
followed him on the way.
They returned down from the fountain, and there they met Julian and Jace, waiting at the very spot
where they had ended their journey earlier. They were waiting for their return.
When she saw Julian, she found him with an agitated look on his face, even as he waited for them to
come close. “Is it done?” he asked.
Marion nodded and bowed his head in respect to Julian. “Yes, it is. Sky has saved our world by healing
the plague at its root.” He answered with a voice filled with so much joy.
Julian’s eyes travelled over to Fiona, and they warmed with adoration and appreciation. “I do not know
what to say.” He said and his tone held honesty.
“You do not have to say anything.” She replied, “This needed to be done; the innocent have suffered
enough.”
Thank you. You have no clue how grateful I am.”
She knew just how much because she could see it all over his face. She flashed him a small smile.
“We should go now; our work here is done”
She wanted to leave because the look on his face wasn’t keeping her fragile and gullible heart from
longing. She had never seen him hold this level of adoration on his face in the past. She didn’t want to
get used to it.
They returned to the rest of the community, and Jose came and joined them. telling them they had
conducted the burial rites of the healer before she was buried. This would create a proper passage to
life beyond.
As they arrived, they met over two hundred of the residents of the community waiting for them, and the
sight surprised Fiona
They dropped to their knees, showing their gratitude.
“The people want to show their appreciation to the Lycan king and the healer for coming to restore their
community.” Rio informed them. “They already feel the change in the atmosphere, and they know that
the curse has been broken. They know it could only have been with your help”

“Thank you for healing our land, the woman in the front, whose son they had met when coming into the
community three days ago, said, and beside her was her
son, Luc.
“Thank you for healing our land.” The rest of the people behind her echoed.
“May the moon goddess bless and make your days great.” She said.
“May the moon goddess bless you and make your days great,” those behind her echoed.
Julian turned to her, and although he didn’t say anything, she knew he was silently asking if she had
anything soothing to say to the people. She did.
She took a step forward, her hand still tightly wrapped around her cloak. “We only did what we thought
was right. We can only hope and pray that Grandfield will return to what it once was, a home of peacenovelbin
and prosperity.”
The next few hours that followed, Fiona spent healing those with the plague. She returned to the villa,
got dressed, and then resumed her duties. There were still a few dozen that came to the outskirts of
the communities, and she attended to
them all.
The message Julian also sent to the estate was honoured as the movers returned with two trucks of
food and provisions for the communities. He gave charge to elder Rio to supervise the entire process,
and he did so because the older man had shown himself to be a lover of his people That was the true
quality of a leader.
Rio didn’t argue, and he took charge, appointing a few of those who would assist him in this duty. The
people gathered themselves at the sanctuary to receive this help and begin their journey to restoration
and newness
Fiona had a few more to heal from the plague, and with the numbers left, she knew they would return
home today if they wanted to. It was still a few hours before evening came, and they still had time.
“Thank you.” The woman whom she had just healed of her plague thanked her with tears in her eyes.
“You are welcome, ma’am.“
“Your parents must be so proud.”
Fiona said nothing in response, she just watched her leave
Julian also arrived at the camp, and he moved to assist and provide help in the best

way he could. Just like yesterday, he didn’t take on the role of ruler and commander, but instead just
another one of them.
She could barely concentrate as Julian’s gaze moved to hers once in a while, disrupting her focus and
attention. He watched her closely and intently, as if she had taken something that belonged to him.
Or could it be that he was figuring out who she really was?
There was no such thing.
She was no longer the same person she once was, so she had nothing to worry about.
Maybe it wasn’t because he wanted to figure something out, but he was still looking at her, and that
made this weird.
She forced herself to finish her duties, and they all returned to the sanctuary, where the rest of those
that came with them on their journey were aiding elder Rio in the distribution of relief packages.
Their job here was done, and the only thing left was going home. She climbed the first stair that led to
the sanctuary when she heard loud noises coming in from not so far away. She turned to Julian and
saw him already standing alert. He also heard the noise and probably knew who they were.
“Stand behind me.” He told her, and his hand protectively shot out to pull her behind him.
Jace and Drew, the envoys, took a stand, as did Marion and Jose and the few that came with the
dispatch team of movers.
The rebels are coming,” she heard from behind, and the voice was filled with terror and agony.
Her heart skipped in her chest.
