Everyone stared at Esther as she was seated alone in the living room wondering if it was the real her or the ones that always appeared to talk to them, and Tracy and Hemdal were now holding their golden bow and arrow. Redrick stood up from where he was seated and went to Esther, and everyone looked at him as he walked toward her. Upon getting to Esther, Redrick pinched Esther on her cheek making her say ''ouch'', as she felt the pain. Seeing that Esther could feel the pain from the pinch, Redrick embraced Esther saying to her ''thanks the gods you are back''.
Seeing Redrick hug Esther made the others believe it was the real Esther. Esther hugged Redrick back asking him ''do you miss me that much?''.
Redrick, the other princes, and the princesses were surprised that Esther could hug Redrick back and asked him if he missed her because they knew how she always behaved around Redrick and thought might push him away for hugging her. Redrick chooses not to mind the past and says to Esther ''I miss you more than you could ever imagine'', as they are still hugging.
The princes and the princesses also go to hug Esther because they also miss her and are happy that she is back as she was still hugging Redrick except for Ramsay. After the princes and princesses separate from Esther, Karl and Hawk also hug Esther and wish her a welcome back.
Everyone was seated back in their position except for Redrick who was seated next to Esther. Esther said to the princes, the princesses, and Hemdal ''there is a message I want to deliver to you all. I met our fathers and the others after their death except for Zussorender and they all told me to tell you to be okay and live well. They want you all to know that they are proud of you and rooting for you all because they believe in you all''.
The princes, the princesses, and Hemdal become unhappy upon hearing that except for Ramsay who doesn't know how he feels. Seeing the mood dulling because of the princes, the princesses, and Hemdal unhappiness, Karl said to Esther ''It's nice seeing in reality. Have been looking forward to meeting you in reality''.
''Am very thankful for listening to me, getting the dark crystal far away, and helping Ramsay and Lilia. Am also thankful for helping Tracy and Hemdal tame their golden bow and arrow'' said Esther to Karl.
''It is nothing, it is my pleasure helping'' said Karl.
''Do you kind of like know everything even though you are absent?'' asked Redrick.
''Do your love for her make you forget she is a Sa'er which means she will always know everything whether she is here or not'' said Camelia to Redrick, then the princes, the princesses, and Hawk smiled while Lilia, Benjamin, Ryn, Karl, Hemdal, and Nelson wondered if it is true that they are dating or is it just Redrick that loves Esther.
Nelson said in his mind ''Esther is so beautiful, it can’t be true that she is dating Redrick'', which Esther heard and said inside Nelson's head ''it is true that we are dating''.
Nelson wasn't shocked that Esther spoke in his head because all the shapeshifters knew about the Sa'ers even if it was not all about them, thanks to Anna. Nelson said to everyone ''Esther just speaks in my head and guess what she said?''.
Everyone asked Nelson eager to know what Esther said inside Nelson's head but before Nelson could tell them Esther said with a smile to everyone ''every one of you should know now. Redrick is mine and mine only. So you should all be careful of the way you talk to him and act toward him because I will be watching''.
The princes, the princesses, Hemdal, and Hawk were shocked to hear that while Nelson, Benjamin, Ryn, Karl, and Lilia wondered while the others were shocked, and Ramsay was just looking at everyone. Hearing that, Redrick (shocked) looked at Esther who looked at him back and nodded at him with a smile. Mike (still shocked) asked Esther ''are you serious about what you are saying or joking?''.
''Though it might sound not so true, I am very serious'' said Esther.
Hearing that, Redrick jumped up happily with a smile saying the word yes and Esther smiled while the others were still shocked. Seeing Redrick still jumping up happily saying yes that the gods have answered his heart's desire, Ramsay said to Redrick ''would you please shut up and sit down you are disturbing me. You are happy all because of a girl that can read your mind that you can’t read her mind and said that she loves you. How do you know she is not lying?''.
Hearing that, Redrick stopped being happy and sat down back unhappy because he thought Ramsay might be telling the truth and Esther already said he was not her type so why would she want him now? Those who were shocked stopped being shocked after hearing what Ramsay said because he might be right, and the others still wondered what was going on. Seeing what Ramsay said made Redrick sad, Esther said to Ramsay ''am not surprised that you wouldn't believe me ‘cause you are not the real you. The real you know know that am a woman of my word and don't joke.. Or lie''.
Hearing that made Redrick, the princes, Hawk, the princesses, and Hemda have a second thought about what Ramsay said because they have never seen Esther lie but only hide things from them then Redrick smiled happily that Esther might be telling the truth. Ramsay said to Esther ''can you please make it known to everyone why you came back. Am sure you didn't come back to accept Redrick's love or profess your love to him''.
''You are right about that. I came back because we all have to find the light crystal. I have come to know that that is the only shot we have at defeating Marcelos. Even though the different future I have seen is that Marcelos always wins, I think the powers inside the light crystal can help us defeat Marcelos'' said Esther to everyone.
''You are talking about a crystal that is said to exist in history. A crystal that is long gone. Who even knows if it is real'' said Kinsley.
''It is very real and the power inside is far too great for our thinking. The power inside the light crystal is said to contain the powers of the great King Hope and the powers of the great wizards of then. If we can get our hands on that crystal it can be very helpful against Marcelos'' said Karl.
''Yeah. I have seen it once and it is said only those who are chosen by the crystal will be worthy of the power in the crystal'' said Hawk.
''Let's say you are right. How do we find a thing that has been lost for ages?'' asked Ramsay.
''We shouldn't worry about that because Esther will know the whereabouts of the crystal” said Redrick.
''Yeah I know where the crystal is but getting to the crystal is the problem. Most of the lands leading to the crystal are dangerous, magical, and dark. So it is not a place we can just teleport to or open a portal to. The lands will draw us into them. We need to find a map that can show us the way to where the crystal is'' said Esther.
''I don't think there is any map of such because they have not been even one recorded in history or told in stories or tales. I don't think the map exists'' said Mike.
Noah looked at Ryn and said ''what if I told you the map exists in a place''.
''Where?'' asked Nelson.
''To do that means I will have to be telling you all the truth'' said Noah.
''And you all have to understand why he did that'' said Ryn.
''Yeah. We are all we have got for now so if we are doing this we all need to be truthful with ourselves and no blame'' said Esther.
Esther told everyone the real truth about what happened between King Damon and Marcelos, and what King Damon did to the other beings after the battle against Marcelos. Noah also told everyone about him having the dragon gene, the fact that he needed to get linked to the dragon, and how he is next in line to be commander of the dragon. Everyone was shocked to hear the real story about King Damon and Marcelos except those who already knew the real story. Everyone was also shocked hearing that Noah had the dragon gene and is next in line to be the commander of the dragon except those who already knew but they were happy that Noah has the dragon gene and now owns the dragon which will be very helpful against Marcelos and his armies.
Noah also tells everyone about the Archies being the ones that currently have the map to where the light crystal and Ethusa are because he and Ryn have seen them. Hawk, Benjamin, Karl, and Nelson were happy now that they heard that the Archies were alive and would help them with the battle against Marcelos and his armies because they thought they might have been dead. Esther explained to the princes, the princesses, Hemdal, and Lilia who the Archies are which Tracy and Hemdal already knew about from Karl.
Noah also told everyone the deal that needed to be done before the Archies would agree to give them the map to the light crystal and Ethusa. Hawk also told everyone what happened that he had to attack the kingdom, and the princes, the princesses, and Hemdal understand why he did that.
After every secret was revealed and the truths told, and everyone was okay with it, Ramsay asked everyone ''now that everything has been settled. What is next?''
''Now we erased doubt'' said Esther.
''What do you mean by that?'' Benjamin asked Esther.
''What I mean is that we free Lilia and Ramsay from the control of Marcelos'' said Esther, and everyone agreed.
Esther asked Ramsay and Lilia ''are you both ready?''.
Lilia's response was yes but Ramsay refused to answer because he didn't know whether he wanted the old Raymsay back or not. Everyone looked at Ramsay waiting for his answer but he said nothing then Lilia said to Ramsay ''say yes, Ramsay'', and he said yes because she was the only one he trusted in that state.
Everyone was glad when Ramsay said yes then Esther said to Ryn ''if you also want the memories you lost back, Ryn, I can help you get them back'', which she agreed knowing it would help her a lot.
Esther and Lilia sat down on the floor in a lotus pose opposite each other in the middle of the living room as the others watched where they sat down. Esther held Lilia's hands and they both closed their eyes after Esther said to Lilia ''free your mind and let me in''.
Esther went into Lilia's mind and heart and was able to defeat the mind power that allows Marcelos to control and use her then restored Lilia's memories that were magically erased. After Lilia's memories were restored, Lilia and Esther opened their eyes and hands, and Lilia remembered her family, friends, people, and village that was destroyed and killed, as well as some that were turned into Orge. Lilia also remembers how her memories were erased, how she had to live as Zussorader's daughter, and Philip's sister when they were the ones that ruined her life, and the villages that were also destroyed. After remembering everything, Lilia began to cry then Kylie had to come take her away from Esther to console her. After Lilia was taken away, Ryn was next.
Marcelo's connection with Ramsay and Lilia only served as a server that he used to locate them or control them but now that the connection was broken by Esther, he could no longer locate or control them. Losing connection with Ramsay and Lilia means Marcelos no longer has any influence on them because the mind power still exists in them but now that the mind power has been destroyed in Lilia it means she is finally free and Mareslos can no longer influence her.
Marcelos was seated on the throne when he suddenly felt that the mind power in Lilia's mind and heart that put him in control of her had been destroyed, and that made him angry. Marcelos knows there is only one person who can challenge him when it comes to controlling minds and hearts which is Esther. Knowing Lilia had been free from his wrap, Marcelos knew Ramsay would be next and he decided not to allow that so Marcelos decided to find Ramsay before he is free from him.
Ryn memories were given back to her and she was glad but she was unhappy because she had to remember some things she wished she had never remembered.
Esther and Ramsay sat down in lotus pose opposite each other just like Lilia and Ryn before Ramsay. Esther held Ramsay's hands and they both closed their eyes after Esther said to Ramsay ''free your mind and let me in''.
Immediately Esther entered Ramsay's mind, she felt the presence of Marcelos and opened her eyes to see Ramsay in front of her still in the same position he was with his eyes closed, her surrounding dark, and Marcelos standing behind Ramsay and smiling. Esther let go of Ramsay's hands and stood up then said to Marcelos ''welcome, I was expecting you''.
''Really?'' asked Marcelos.
''Yes, so you can pass my message to the humans siding you'' said Esther.
''Unfortunately, you won't live to deliver your message because you are as good as dead'' said Marcelos.
