i'm Comin' Home

After saying goodbye and thank you to Orca and her father, the newly curse free boy practically skipped his way back home. Curses froze in the north. They froze and they died. Acere had swore that it was true. So Beat left his curse behind. The young man would slowly build a new outlook on life. It would take a while to get used to not bringing death and destruction to those around him, but it would be worth it.

There was one person that he needed to tell above all others. His Aunt Twig worried about him so much. Every time she brought him food or tried to check on him, he could see the pain in her eyes. He felt a mighty need to alleviate that pain. The boy really wanted nothing more than to hold his aunt close and tell her that he was going to be okay.

For the first time, Beat raised his nose to the sky and called out to all of Abaven, letting them know that he was home. There was a confidence in his tone that had never been there before. He was proud of his growth. Proud that he no longer was under the thumb of the curse. He wanted to share his happiness with others.
