Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Aftermath

After Garuda passed, Testarossa picked up Garuda's body and burnt down the arena. Outside, Jade and Yeon were waiting for her. Testarossa said, "We should bury her here." Jade agreed and started digging a hole big enough for Garuda body. Testarossa placed her into it and buried her inside. Testarossa said, "I love you, Mother." Once they finished burying Garuda, Yeon grabbed him by the neck and said, "Why does your aura feel like an outer god? Why? Answer me. You told me you hated your mother." Testarossa broke free of her grip and said, "I learnt the reason why she was so corrupted, and I learnt to forgive her. I accepted the hidden power within me, and I grew stronger." Yeon was frustrated and felt Betrayed said, "We are done. I never want to see you again." Yeon created a portal and went through it, leaving Testarossa and Jade there. Jade said, "Let's head home; we need to clean ourselves off." Testarossa agreed, and both of them headed to Jade's temple. Testarossa and Jade arrived at the temple, and both of them wasted no time and stripped down and jumped into the hot springs. Jade said, "This is just what I need after a battle." Jade looked towards Testarossa, noticing the flames on her hands, and said, "Are those flames on your hands permanent?" Testarossa giggled and said, "Yes, Jade, they're permanent; they don't hurt or anything. You sure do worry a lot." Jade felt a bit embarrassed and said, "You meanie." After a few hours, Testarossa and Jade left the hot springs and went to sleep. A few days passed, and Jade and Testarossa started living together for a few months. Kaya and Rinko would visit often to see how Testa is doing. Jade took Testarossa up to a hill where they can see a great view of the clear blue sky. Both of them relaxed and had some food, but then Jade said, "Testa, I think it's time for you to explore the world by yourself." Jade said this with a smile. Testarossa stood up and grabbed Jade's hand and said, "Yes, I agree. I want to experience new things and learn about the world, but once I am done will come back for you." She said this with a smile. Before letting go of her said, "No matter where you are, this will always be your home." After she said this, Testarossa set off on her journey.
