It took another two day to close all the case files, thanks to Emera, who wanted to have everything done the most precise way possible.

Bryce sighed as he figuratively measured the pile of paper he had to go through until he could go out of his office and get a beer.

It was the last day before the weekend, which didn't help raise Bryce's morale even a little bit. Working overtime at Friday? Who does that?

Knock on his office's door disturbed the thoughts of the earth dragon.

"Come in," said Bryce in his usual deep tone, maybe even deeper that time.

The one who entered was Adine and she had someone else with her.

"Hey, big guy," she said in a happy tone, waving one of her wings at Bryce in friendly manner.

"You know, you shouldn't call me like that. We are not kids anymore, Adine," replied Bryce. Strangely enough, he couldn't remember Adine when he first met her at the crime scene during the Reza investigation. After that, it was like someone had flickered the light on. He used to hang out with her, but then something happened, and Bryce couldn't figure out what.

Adine made a room for a smaller dragon following her. It was that small, white and red colored girl, that stayed over one night when Fyr was arrested.

Adine cleared her throat, "Alex mentioned you've asked him about Amely, so I brought her to you."

Amely, yes. That was the name. Anna specifically said, she scribbled down a name Amely on the egg of her creation.

Bryce looked down at Amely. When he thought about it, she did remind him of Remy and Anna mashed together in the weirdest way possible.

"Yeah, I did," said Bryce. He then proceeded to explain the circumstances, what Anna told him, his own theory, facts like that. Adine let Amely took a seat across the table, and she stood behind the girl, wings wrapped around her small form in a protective manner.

"So, you are saying," asked Adine, but before she could finish the sentence, she turned to her protégé. "Amely, sweetheart. Could you go outside and see how's uncle Sebastian doing?"

Amely nodded and left with a word.

Adine shifted her attention back to Bryce, "So, Amely is a clone, huh? What does that mean? You are not taking her away, Bryce!" growled Adine.

"Hold your horses, girl. I am not gonna do such a thing. I've just thought, does Remy even know legacy of his dead wife lives on in Amely? Doesn't he deserve to know?"

Adine calmed down a little, "That guy is irresponsible! I don't want Amely being raised by a dork like him."

Bryce would chuckle, but didn't want to risk enraging Adine more, "I don't know, he does work for Emera. I'd expect someone smart and caring to take that position, but that's only my opinion."

Bryce then looked at Adine. Her pink eyes didn't have an anger in them, but fear. It was more or less clear Amely was special to Adine, but Bryce would never thought she was that attached to Anna's creation.

Bryce sighed after a while of silence, "Give him a chance, Adine. I'll talk to him, tell him everything I've told you and we'll see if he will even want to adopt Amely. Remy wasn't exactly fond of Anna, so..."

"Don't even suggest the last thought. Who in their right mind would reject such an opportunity," objected Adine.

"Well, you did, for reasons of working too much. Remy could very well do the same thing thing," pointed out Bryce the fact.

"Who've told you that? Oh, you don't have to answer. There's only one person to know this," said Adine, answering her own question in the process. She then looked out of the window, facing away from the police chief.

Bryce was just about to say something, when Adine jumped in again, "You know what, I'll ask the caretaker at the orphanage. She'll be happy to hear Amely could get a better future."

"Thank you. It would mean a world to Anna to hear that," said Bryce, giving Adine a grateful nod.

Adine shook her head, "No, I should thank you for bringing it up. No one else did anything to solve the mystery of Amely's origin. Thank you, Bryce."

Adine gave Bryce a small smile and then left his office.

Bryce could hear her calling Amely and Sebastian saying something in an excited manner.

Getting back to work wasn't as bad as he had thought, not after such an achievement.

Alex thought about the future. He knew he would have to take the portal again, to lose his progress, and possibly never achieving similar ending again.

So, he kept laying face up, his healing burns itching under the bandages.

Suddenly, a hooded figure opened the door of the hospital room. Alex wondered who it could be in the middle of a night, and the answer didn't take long to reveal itself.

It was the Ambassador again.

Alex raised his head towards the newcomer and stated, "You died! How...?"

Ambassador laughed under the mask. Alex could remember Ambassador being a female, but the voice sounded more male this time.

"Oh, that's because I am not the same Ambassador." The figure then proceeded to undo the marks of their face.

Alex gasped, because he wasn't looking at anyone else, but his own twin.

Before he could say anything though, the clone of his spoken again, "I know you are thinking about the importance of your journey. I've done so too, and I assure you you have to go through the portal. It's the only way how to save everyone."

Alex thought if he was having a dream or not, "Screw you, I've got everything I want from life."

Another figure joined the Ambassador. It had the shape of a dragon.

"Oh, that should be your motivation. Let's say, you'll end with someone nice after all," said Adine.

Alex didn't understand anything, so he did the same thing he used to do at school. He fell asleep.

The hooded Adine turned her head toward the future Alex. "Do you think it worked?" she asked.

Future Alex just shrugged, "We'll know soon enough. Let's go back to portal and our own timeline."

Hooded Adine and future Alex disappeared as fast as they appeared.

It was a good surprise to discover your little series, I liked to "continue" the Adine's good ending. She's my favorite character too, so adorable!
By chance, will this series continue? ^^
