Closing the portal and seeing everyone felt like an eternity ago for Xander, even if it was just a few weeks in Paradise.
Xander loved his little brother and sister very much. His progress with Hope continued to soar and he was flying around no problem with her inside of him now. He loved having wings and his little brother and sister consistently asked him for rides.
"Our little brother is the best!"
Sora and the others looked on and encouraged him. The problem was, Xander was getting bored quickly. He hadn't been around anyone alive, other than the gods and goddesses, who were alive in a different way in 5 years and it was starting to weigh on him.
"Hope, I really want to go home. I miss everyone and I'm bored."
"I understand Xander. I can feel your sadness and it impacts me like everything else does. What do you think you could do to get your mind off of it?"
