500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 222 Make Up For What I Have Done

"I just hope that it will be enough," Tallia said as she looked at the barrier. "I don't know how long it will last."

"It will have to do," I said as I nodded. "For now, we need to get back. We need to start getting everyone in place, and that means getting people out to the wall."

"Of course," Tallia said as she nodded before leading the way back to the city.

Eliza stayed close to me the whole way back, and I could tell that she was deep in thought. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but I didn't want to pry.

When we got back to the Manor, I sent Eliza off to find something to eat while Tallia and I went to my room to talk.

"So, what do you think?" I asked as soon as we were in my room.

"I think it's a good idea," Tallia said as she nodded. "But I don't know how long it will last. Negative Energy is incredibly powerful, so I am not sure how much it will take."

"We will just have to wait and see," I said as I shrugged. "In the meantime, we need to focus on the fight. I also need to go see Listenia since I left Elfinia with her yesterday."

"That is probably a good idea. I will head to the barracks and get people moving," Tallia said as she nodded.

"Thank you, Tallia," I said as I hugged and kissed her.

"Of course," Tallia said after we enjoyed each other briefly before leaving my room.

I took a deep breath and released it slowly. There was still a lot to do.

I was curious as to where Morgana had gone since she was no longer in the room. I didn't think that Xena would come and bother her now after our clash, but it would be stupid for me to think that it wouldn't happen.

I headed out of my room to look for Morgana and found her in the back garden with Senna, Breya, Claire, Seraphina, and Ashe. They were still working on the garden that Claire had destroyed, but I hadn't expected Morgana to get in on it.

"Morgana, what are you doing?" I asked as I approached her.

"Helping," Morgana said as she straightened up and wiped the sweat from her brow. "I know that I caused a lot of damage, so I wanted to help fix it."

"Thank you, Morgana," I said as I nodded. "But you don't have to do this."

"I know, but I want to," Morgana said as she shrugged. "I need to make up for what I have done, and this is one way that I can do it."

"Thank you," I said again as I looked at her. I could tell that she was sincere, and I was glad that she was trying to make up for her mistakes.

" Galio, we need to talk," Morgana said after a few minutes of silence.

"Alright," I said as I nodded before following her away from the others.

"I know that I have caused a lot of problems, and I am sorry," Morgana said as soon as we were out of earshot. "I know that I can't take back what I have done, but I want to try and make up for it."

"Morgana, you don't have to make up for anything," I said as I shook my head. "You have already paid for your mistakes."

"I know, but I still feel like I need to do something," Morgana said as she looked at me. "I was thinking about going back to my home."

"Your home?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I was thinking about going back to my home and helping my people. I know that I should be helping here, but I feel like I have caused too much pain to everyone around here. It feels wrong to stay here now," Morgana explained, but I frowned.

"Are you sure you want to go back? I was hoping that you would stay with me by my side. I know that things have been hard for you, but none of this was your fault. Leaving here isn't going to make those feelings go away; they will just fester with you. I want you to stay with me, and I also play on giving you a golden egg if you stay by my side. The whole point of me getting to you was to do the mating ritual with you, like last night. Not sure why your Goddess didn't drop you off an egg last night, but that just means we will have to try again," I explained, and Morgana put her hands up to her mouth in shock.

"You really want me to stay with you? I thought that you only did this because you were trying to save everyone else?" Morgana asked as tears started to fall.

"No, I want you by my side. I care about you, Morgana, and I want you to stay with me," I said as I pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you, Galio," Morgana said as she hugged me tightly. "I will stay with you."

"Thank you," I said as I hugged her tightly before kissing her. This woman had already been through more than enough, and sending her back home where I knew it wasn't safe was not something that I wanted to do.

"Come on, let's go tell the others," I said as I took her hand and led her back to the others.

"Tell us what?" Senna asked as we approached.

"Morgana is going to stay with us," I said as I wrapped an arm around Morgana's waist.

"Really? I didn't know she wanted to leave?" Seraphina asked as she looked at Morgana.

"Yes, I have decided that I want to stay with Galio," Morgana said as she nodded.

"I am glad to hear that," Claire said as she smiled. "We can use all the help that we can get."

"I agree," I said as I nodded. "Now, you all need to get back to work, and so do I. We have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it."

"Of course," Senna said as she nodded before they all went back to work, and I headed back to the front of the manor.
