Chapter 550 Promise
"I suspected as much," Rain said, and then both of them helped each other to return to the capital.
A lot of the warriors began to get up and follow them as well... They were too tired to celebrate, and they lost some good friends there as well, and that was why they didn't feel like celebrating a lot. They finally understood what Rain meant before. Just chasing power wasn't enough.
It didn't matter how much power they had if they couldn't protect their friends who watched their backs during the battle...
Before long, Rain found his friends and family exhausted as well in front of the wall, being treated by the people of the city. It seemed that they had the chance to see some of the battle during the night, and the aftermath was even more insane... It was like a sea of corpses and blood had arrived at their doorstep.
"At least they know now what we did and how much they owe us," Rain thought.
"You look like you had seen better days," Branden said while showing bags under his eyes.
"You can say that once you look yourself into a mirror," Rain shrugged as both as he and his father fell with their butts on the ground.
Roan fell asleep right there... Rain could see that his father had some deep wounds on his side... it had been healed, but not that much. He seriously needed some time to rest.
"I guess my next goal is to make everyone in the family learn that healing spell that burns mana to restore even damaged flesh back to its original form," Rain thought.
Everyone in his family could use healing magic, and that was why they were still tending to the wounded right now. Only Rain's kids were sleeping... seeing that much blood at their age wouldn't happen. Rain was fighting to prevent them from seeing all that, after all.
"You need to sleep too. I am going to take your place now," Rain said and then began to carry Terra in his arms. "Can't let you get ahead of me that much when it comes to healing magic."
"So, you have finally shown your true colors and intentions... but that is the only thing that I can't lose against you," Terra said while yawning.
"That sounds like a challenge. I like your spirit," Rain smirked.
When Rain arrived in the garden of his home, Danny and Annie dashed toward him. It seemed that they wanted to play, but they got quiet once they realized that their mama was asleep.
"Just wait here for a bit. I will come to play with you for a while," Rain said.
Their expressions lightened up a lot. Rain still spent a lot of time with his kids, but mainly, it was to focus on their future instead of just relaxing... It was hard to be responsible for so many things and still be a normal Father. Rain could understand why some people have such a hard time raising kids... and it isn't easy, and he is as healthy and stronger than a bull.
Energy was something that he had to spare, but life wasn't easy, and the enemies didn't want to make it any easier.
After putting Terra to bed and confirming that Seara was also sleeping soundly in the next room, Rain went to play with his kids while they passed on the warriors' tents. They worked together, healing the warriors since most of their wounds were covered, and there wasn't much blood left, so it was fine.
"You two might be too young for this, but I hope that you can understand it eventually," Rain said. "You two and tour mamas are everything to me, and I want to live a happy and peaceful life with you all. That is why I need to work hard right now, and I can't spend much time with you. This time and this moment will never return, and this is truly regretful.
I can't say that I will make up for the time lost in situations like this, but I will always try to be there for you all. No matter what, even if I am falling into pieces... your papa will be your shield."
