Days had turned into weeks and weeks into months, but the pain in my heart remained the same. The loss of Vespera had left a deep hole that couldn't be filled. While Arthur and Okita spent their days training to become stronger, I spent most of my time locked up in my room, drowning in my grief.
It was difficult to muster up the energy to train or even interact with anyone else. My powers had returned, but they felt meaningless without Vespera by my side. I missed her presence, her laughter, and the way she made everything feel better. I missed her smile, her touch, and the way she made me feel like I could conquer the world.
But now she was gone, and I was left feeling lost and empty. Merlin had tried to console me, but nothing seemed to work. I didn't want to talk to anyone or do anything. All I wanted was to be left alone with my thoughts.
Days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months. Arthur and Okita had grown stronger and were ready to face any challenge that lay ahead of them. But I remained the same, trapped in my sadness and grief.
Then one day, while I was in my room, I heard a voice calling out to me. It was Vespera's voice, calling out my name. I was startled at first, thinking I was hallucinating, but the voice grew stronger with each passing moment.
I followed the sound of her voice until I reached the source. It was coming from a small room that I had never seen before. The room was dark, and I couldn't see anything, but the voice continued calling out to me.
I walked towards the center of the room, and suddenly, I felt a surge of energy coursing through my body. It was like a jolt of electricity, and my senses were suddenly heightened. I could see everything clearly, even in the darkness.
And then, out of nowhere, two wings burst out of my back. They were majestic and beautiful, with white feathers that glowed in the darkness. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had never seen anything like this before.
As I stood there, amazed at my newfound powers, Vespera's voice grew louder. She told me that she was proud of me and that she would always be with me, even in death. She told me to embrace my new powers and to use them to protect the world.
With newfound strength and determination, I emerged from the small room, my wings spread wide. Arthur and Okita were stunned by my transformation, and for the first time in months, I felt alive.
Together, the three of us trained harder than ever before, determined to defeat any enemy that stood in our way. My wings gave me a newfound confidence, and I felt like nothing could stop us.
We trained day and night, honing our skills and becoming stronger. And with each passing day, I felt Vespera's presence with me, guiding me and giving me the strength to continue on.
Finally, after months of training, we were ready to face whatever lay ahead of us. We emerged from Merlin's castle, ready to take on any enemy that dared cross our path.
And so our journey continued, with newfound strength and determination, and the memory of Vespera guiding us every step of the way.
