You can't stop me. I can be a constantly present presence in her mind combat everything you tell her. I can force her hand in so so many ways. She won't listen to you or any of them. She won't have a choice. And there's nothing you can do about it.

"You're going to what?"

"She's hurting you. Holding you back. And I won't let you feel that pain anymore."

Astwyr.

I understand.

Bookwyrm channeled mental energy given to him from the astral god, and used it to slice the connection between Saar and Insa. Then he took that same energy and wrapped it around Saar, trapping her. He tied that prison to a part of his mind, forging another connection, less permanent.

"How... How did you know?"

I separated you from her.

I won't let you hurt her anymore.

"I..." Bookwyrm paused. "I see things, Insa. I understand things without knowing why, sometimes. It's part of being a Worldseer.

"How do you feel, now?"

Oh, so I'm the bad guy? I'm not the one whose put ideas that have put her in danger in her head. 

I've never done anything like that. 

If anything I've done the opposite, tried to convince her to ignore all those ideas. You all are the ones who are hurting her. 

Everytime someone turns, or leaves, or she has to face one of you she hurts more than anything I could do to her. It scares her too.

That's not something you can stop. Just because you stopped Kaos doesn't mean there won't be other beings who want to turn you against each other.

I'm trying to protect her from that pain. She's been through enough don't you think?

"A little bit lighter." Insa frowned, "But if... you cut off my connection to her... and my ability to do all the storm stuff comes from her... what will that mean?"

QuietBookwyrm Commanded, silencing Saar.

Don't make assumptions about the future. Or the power that we hold in our hands, the power to shape destiny. This is our future now. And you are not one to say otherwise.

"I think you have a little more power in yourself than you think," Bookwyrm said, smiling. "You're pretty amazing."

He looked into Insa's eyes. Her image blurred slightly through a watery film, and a lump formed in his throat.

Without warning, he wrapped Insa in a hug.

"Worlds, Insa...it's good to have you back."

Insa let the warmth of the embrace and Bookwyrm's words to wash over her.

It all felt right. Being there in the clinic. Choosing to stay.

And there was no one making her doubt it all. 

"Thank you. For noticing. For saving me from her. For everything."

"You're welcome. And thank you," he said, for everything that you've done."

I think we're basically done and ready for Season 2. I don't know if Calano and Emma wanted to say anything to them.

She smiled at Calano, "thank you love and as you wish."

She walked through the portal hand in hand with Calano. Ready to take on anything they might face, together.

@CalanoCorvus

They emerged from the portal onto a vast dark plane of an endless nothing.

And there, a short distance away, lay a small shriveled sniveling entity.

The last of what remained of the once mighty Kaos, weakened to a point just shy of no return.

”My love,” Calano said, turning to his wife, “I want you to do something for me.”

Emma smiled at him, "what do you wish my Crow?"

“Do you remember,” He asked, entwining his fingers with hers, “Our wedding day? The vows we made?”

He paused, then leaned in close, his hair ruffling in an unseen wind- an only slightly annoying perk of being a god.

”Would you say them again?” He said softly.

Hehe...cue the delving through written pages to find that scene again.

“Emma,” He said, and his hand, entwined in hers, began to glow softly, piercing the darkness of the void they were in, “I have always loved you. I have never stopped loving you. It hurt to see you as someone you weren’t. And I did everything in my power to get you back. I became a god for you. I defeated Kaos, for you. I will never abandon you, and I will always be here for you in any way you need me.”

Calano’s hand glowed brighter, and the small entity began to squirm under the harsh glare of the light.

Emma beamed at him. "Calano, my love," she whispered back and squeezed his hand. "I love you. I wept after faking my death for you. I saved you from the chickens and from various other dangers. And I came back for you. And I love you eternally Calano. And all that I am is yours." 

Emma passionately kissed him and the light flared so bright from both of them that the last of the Kaos screeched and burned away.

Calano smiled as the kiss ended. Slowly, the rings that Calano had thought shattered faded back into view around their fingers, a comfortable and hopeful weight at the base of their fingers.

”An illusion then?” Calano said, “You always did use whatever you could to win. You sly raven.”

Calano wrapped his arms around his wife, and then raised an arm, opening a portal behind them, into the new clinic.

”Come,” He whispered, “Everyone is waiting.”
