Terrance somehow felt the warmth of this man radiating to him. He could feel the burning pains of his mother once more burning down his spine and it made him just a bit more comfortable being around this man. If he truly was the man that he had heard about, then he must not be much different from whom Terrance was. Terrance had changed a lot since learning about the details of his mother’s death and those that had a hand in her heartbreak, it made him the cold selfish monster that is was today.
As he was now facing the man, and hearing that he had understood his perspective without much debate, Terrance felt that a bridge had been built over the troubled waters. It was only on rare occasions that many, if any, respected his views. So, by this man actually listening to him was enough for Terrance to be empathetic towards him. Terrance sighed, holding back the rest of the tears that was about to drain down his face, his reddened cheeks matching that of the man that was staring before him.
”Terrance, Terrance Repitalli.” He stated as if it was a confessional sin. ”I’m sor…I apologize for the first impression. I really just…” Terrance began to babble before his words were cut off with a sigh and a view of his mother’s tomb right beyond the man. ”Are you the one that, that she would speak about when she held me in her arms?” Terrance asked enthused.

"Lincoln...Link Turner" He had said in responce to him giving his own name. When he had heard Repatalli, he couldnt help but sigh. He was remarkably like his mother, tho.ugh Link had learned from last time, it may have been to painful to compare him to his mother. He had to admit, things felt a lot better, it was actually the best he had felt since coming here. Link looked up at Terrance and couldnt help but laugh as he apoligized. It was of course not in a mocking tone, but becuase he had forgotten how they met just seconds ago. "Dont worry about it...If it was me, I probably wouldnt even have spoken, I would have just hurled a fire ball right away" Link said in a joking tone, trying to lighten the mood a bit. Yet another trait he had picked up from Teresa. No matter what the two would do, they would play around, doing something silly.
Link then heard the man beginning to babble, and Link once again looked at him. Just in the tone in his voice, Link could tell that he was going to say something serioius or heart felt. As soon as the words travelled into his ear through the night air, Link was speechless. He really couldnt answer that. But as the thoughts ran through his head, it couldnt be possible. He had changed reality so that they hadnt even met each other. There was no way she could remember him. There was that one night at the beach, but that was trivial. Link opened his mouth to begin talking but so sound came out. If it had been Link...though he had not known how...something must have happened. She had to have found something to start triggering memories.
Link hadnt known in all actuallaity. After that night he saw her again, he seeked out the angel of destiny, where he encased himself in the crystal. That was the moment he was lost to her forever. The point in time where he left and abandoned her. Link turned torwards her grave, and this time instead of the rolling tears, a single tear crawled along his cheek, falling to her grave. This single tear had reminded him of something....but what. Suddenly it hit Link...the single tear...that is when she had left him...that is when he lost her to the avatars, where he almost hurt her. When she left her ring on their bed.
Link muttered a quick spell, the counter spell to a hiding spell he had cast 1000 years ago. He then shoved his hand into his pocket, and quickly pulled looked at his palm. There lied two silver rings...Their wedding bands. Link held back his tears as best as possible, but a few mangaged to escape. Link had lost sense of time...he had forgotten Terrance was even there. It was the harsh reality of seeing their rings that drove a stake through his heart. The rings fell from her hand, onto the soft dirt of her tomb. He fell to his knees, and looked at the tomb. "It couldnt have been me....I changed the world...I changed our history...I changed us" Link said, not even being able to look up at him, while his stare was focused on the tomb, with the rings lying in front of it.

Terrance had realized that he was connecting with this man on a level that he had held reserved only for those he trusted most. Unfortunately, he had no more reserve as he had put himself, vulnerable, out there to the man that he felt like he knew forever. A slight breeze had passed by and blew over Terrance's hair before he had noticed that Lincoln, Link, had fallen to his knees after conjuring wedding bands that seemed utterly to bring a wave of emotion over the area. "I..I'm sor..." He started as he closed his eyes trying to avoid the thickness of emotion that was beginning to overwhelm him once more.
"Link, she still loved you." Terrance stated beneath his breath as he kneeled down next to the man at the tomb, facing the man for a brief second before he turned to face the tomb in respect.

Link felt the breeze in his medium long hair as well, as it flickered in the night sky. His blue eyes, were slightly red due to the tears, and the constant agitation of Link trying to wipe the tears free. He stared upon the tomb, and then back to Terrance as he began to apoligize. Link was just realizing how hard this was for Terrance. A mother and her son shared a bond that could never be compared and for this man to have it ripped from him at such a young age, it must have been painful. However Link couldnt help but get on the subject of who the boy's father was..and if he was still alive.
Link opened his mouth finally finding the courage to ask Terrance who is father was, but Terrance interrupted him. Link didnt comprehend what he had said at first, but then it finally made sense after thinking about it. She still loved him....how had this been. How through powerful magic, had she remembered him...and still loved him! How could she love someone who had abandoned their family. How she had a heart so compassionate was beyond him...after all that he had to her.
He bowed his head "And I still love her" he said as soft whisper. Link was full of thoughts now, all wanting to ask Terrance so many things. He knew before he had met Teresa she had been evil.....so what was of Terrance. As of right now he hadnt really cared, he was just glad to find relief in someone. "I would do anything to have her in my arms again" Link said, and meaning it with every fiber in his body.

Terrance had found himself in an awkward position. He was always closed with high guards all around him. Here this man was finding the holes in his guard and coming through, and Terrance was less defensive about it. He allowed his elbows to lean against the tomb as he listened to what Link had just stated and then it had hit him. It had caused him to ponder why he had been here sobbing all these years considering the powers that he has accumulated and the powers that surround him everyday.
But he sighed; even if he tried his abilities would not be sufficient in resurrecting a woman who died a thousand years ago. He shook his head and closed the idea in his head only to stare back at Link. He truly didn’t understand the breakthrough that his empathy has with his mother. ”But there’s nothing we can do…is there?” Terrance stuttered as he looked over at Link with angry eyes.

Link pondered on what he said as well. When he was the Head Avatar ressurecting was well within his power, but seing how that got him into enough trouble, and he was sure he chances to be re-inducted into the collective were slim to none, since he drained them of power for selfish needs. Through Link's life he knew a lot of things. He had personally had come into contact with a lot of power, one being that of a Charmed state. And although he knew as much as he did, it wasnt enough to ressurect someone.
"No...." Link said softly feeling himself lose Teresa again, even though he really never had her again. But being here with Terrance made her seem awfully close, driving Link mad that he couldnt have her. Link figured that he could approach the Elders and ask for her to be ressurected but he knew how that would play out already...they had to follow the grand design " Well there is...but.....I mean....." Link said hesitating. "screw the grand design" Link had whispered to himself. He then looked over to Terrance with heavy eyes. "For something like that.....for it to work....the magic would have to be powerful....It would have to come from both light and dark....good and evil, and it would have to trancend them as well. To even even think about it I would need someone with a profound knowledge of dark magic." Link said almost disapointed. He hadnt even assumed Terrance may have been on the side of Evil.
Link knew himself he could manipulate the magics of goodness, but evil..that was the thing. While Link was an Avatar he had traveled through time, learning many things, and gathering knowledge. While doing so he came across a few interesting scrolls, one to vanquish the unstoppable Avatar, one to disempower an elder....and another to ressurect a loved one. But the magic that it required was phenominal. And the chances that it would work were slim to none. Link looked over to Terrance and hit the ground near him, because he was frustrated.

Repitalli had felt a sense of hope when the man had began to speak, knowing that he had also been feeling the same way of removing his mother from this grave. Only this time, Terrance felt like it was actually possible. "I.." he started as he looked up over at Link who was beside him, "I can manipulate dark magic. I...I mean, I am ruler of Avalon's Dark army." Terrance stated as he looked over at the man, his eyes becoming more pure and natural rather than being filled and glossed like they were when he was mourning his mother.
If his mother was resurrected, it would indeed affect the way things were and the way things will be. It included altering the life they would have in the future. But then Terrance debunked the idea, maybe destiny had it so that the two would meet and decide to bring this woman back to the life where she was cut short from.

Link's gaze shot up to Terrance, striken with hope. Though it could be a painstaking process, Link felt that they were that much closer to the possiblity of actually having Teresa back. Link couldnt help but smile at Terrance as the thought of his loving wife rushed into his mind. "Your....your evil?" Link asked aloud in a remarkably happy tone. Normally this would go against all his morals, but love in his veiw went far beyond personal morals. "Your more like your mother then you know" Link laughed as he thought on the moment they first met...she was at the beach, sent to kill him.....
Link immediately stood up and began pacing. He was thinking how they could actually do this...becuase he hadnt even given it a second thought until now. "We'll have to create a spell that is unrivaled in power, and had the perfect harmony of light and dark magics" Link said thinking out loud, but loud enough for it to be clearly audible by Terrance. Link looked back to Teresa's tomb, and he felt as if he could feel her already they were so close.

Terrance offered a mere shot of a smile as he noticed the man's shock with his evil. He shrugged it off, knowing that bringing his mother back with be greater than any fight between Good and Evil. "What greater spell is love?" Terrance stated as he agreed with Link's loud thoughts that gave him hope that maybe this would all work out. That maybe, he'd be able to see his mother again, have him in her arms once more, have her whisper in his ears. There was no other greater hope that his life would be better than when she would be with him once more. "Let's do it...Link...Let's do it." Terrance stated not worrying about the consequences.

Link still paced on cold ground, even as he heard Terrance. Naturally Link was thinking of the reprocussions, and the consequences of doing such a thing...Although when it came right down to it he didnt care. He would make a deal with the Source if need be at the moment. Anything to have Teresa back in this world she was so wrongly ripped from. Link looked to Terrance with a serious, look and then a somewhat gleeful smile emerged. "Alright....lets do it" He said to Terrance, and then looked upon the tomb once again. Link then walked over to the tomb, where he rested a single hand upon the cold stone. The though of them finally being together again was quite overwhelming.
Link, being no fool to magic, though it be best if they did it as soon as possible. There was always someone plotting against him, and he would not be able to live if this chance was ripped from under his feet. Link picked up the two wedding bands and shoved them into his pocket. "Terrance...I need you to get two Athame's that are pure and clean, and not yet have tasted blood" Link said, "and bring them here." Link thought it would be best to perform the actual ritual here. "You'll know when it's time....." Link said walking torwards him and looking him in the eyes. "Goodbye", Link said with a full hearted smile, with anticpation of having Teresa again. Suddenly Link wrapped his arms around Terrance, giving him a hug of apreciation...none of this would be able to happen without him, and just as fast as it happened, Link disapeared in a flurry of lights with a quick spell. Link had plenty to do before they could actually do this.
