El tiempo de mi regreso ha llegado. (The time for my return has come.)

I possess no recollection of my rescue from the ocean's depths beyond the kiss of a gentle wave upon a moonlit beach and an earnest desire to be free of the confines of the ethereal realm that bound me. The next thing I knew I was once again in Sosaria standing outside a home in the Yew woods watching Kaylor as he stepped outside to summon his steed. Recognition came upon me quickly, memories stolen by death settling firmly back into place as though they'd never been gone. We smiled at each other. Closing the distance between us, I reached out to embrace him only to discover my arms slipping through his solid form like a shadow disappearing beneath the full moon's hallowed glare. Aún muerto. (Still dead.) Fate had returned me to my brother's side without explanation . . . and without life.

Kaylor became obsessed with finding a way to have me resurrected. Weeks turned into months before he was able to meet with success through the assistance of a fellow knight who introduced him to a friend of his, a necromancer of sorts. My agreement to this resurrection did not come without its price. I would taste the breath of life once more, appear as human to all who set eyes upon me. Without a heart, however, two years' passage would wear upon the enchantment, pulling me back to the corporeal kingdom from whence I'd come. It was a contract I never discussed with Kay until last night. He took it with great pain just as I knew he would, thus the reason I spared him the knowledge until necessity's demand. We spoke on it for hours until I was confident of his accepting calm.

The sea calls me back, my heart beating rhythmically within the distant mists. Manuel Rivero must die. The Starfire Escort must be cleansed of the perra who corrupts it and restored to the purpose for which it was intended.

Once again I reached out to embrace mi hermano only to discover my arms slipping through his solid form like a shadow disappearing . . . . .
