As the two little girls looked around everywhere…
The body of Aurora…
Her left hand fingers.
They suddenly twitched.
The slime merged into her corpse and infused itself completely into her original body.
The little soul fragment grew larger as it absorbed energy from the environment, and then, it reached the brain, which was still fresh.
FLASH!
A rush of stored memories merged with the little soul fragment. Of everything that had happened until the moment before her death.
Aurora's eyes opened wide.
She remembered what had happened! How she died then and… how she had sacrificed herself for her family and for Veronica and Ervas for them to win and defeat the Demon God King once and for all.
Her entire soul back then was devoured by the darkness. She had not left any clone due to her needing their power to fight, which made the death of that soul, her complete death.
However, against her expectations, she suddenly came back.
Her original soul died, yet she was sure she was she.
How?
"Ah… I… I am back?!"
Violet and Aura looked at the corpse slowly sit over the floor.
Violet covered her face, crying desperately.
"M-Mom?"
Aurora looked at her little baby. For her it hasn't been so long since she saw her due to not having memories of dying, and therefore not feeling that she had waited for anything.
However, she still began to cry sorrowfully. Her last thoughts before dying were, after all, filled with the memories she had made with her daughter and Ditoyle.
"My baby…"
"MOOOOM!"
Violet began to scream and cry, tears began to come out of her eyes as she jumped over Aurora, hugging her tightly, kissing her, and loving her.
"Mommy! You're really back? Is this not a dream? I've had… so many dreams were you came back... Sniff… Are you really mommy? Are you really you?" she asked, her little face was covered in tears.
"It is me. It's really me, dearie… Mama's back…"
"But… how? Was the slime really you?" she asked.
"It was me. Indeed it was me, dearie. I was that slime. It took some time to remember, because it was a fragment of my own which I had forgotten. It had entered… in a coma, and the memories it had dissipated. It was a tiny fragment of me, a small one… but when you took me out of the vault, I remembered something, a drive… I fused with the other fragments of my past self, and suddenly felt like something was missing. You brought me before my corpse, and after fusing with it, I gained the memories within its head, regaining my sense of self... It was truly a mystical experience…" sighed Aurora.
Violet's eyes continued to pour big rivers of tears, seeing her mama so healthy and happy, so back to life, talking, speaking to her… it was all so wondrous, so insane, and so fantastical…
"Mommy… Mommy… I am so happy I didn't used those fragments… I saved that little slime you gave me all this time… T-To think that it would come in handy when every hope was lost…" she sighed.
"Ahh… I am also happy… it is… such a combination of chances, of occurrences. Sometimes I cannot even believe it myself… It is all so beautiful… And you've grown so much… H-How long has it passed since then? Did they won?" asked Aurora.
"Three months… have passed. The Demon God King was defeated thanks to your sacrifice mommy… you did it! T-They did it…" she said.
"I see… T-Three months… You've grown so much in just three months… Ahh… Violet, I love you so much…" Aurora began to cry rivers as she hugged her daughter. Her daughter also cried sorrowfully, mother and daughter had once more come together…
Aura looked at the scene with surprise, her flashing starlight eyes didn't knew exactly what was truly happening anymore, but she assumed that it was something very important for her best friend Violet.
It was Violet's mother; it had come back to life…
"W-Wow… She came back to life… even without a soul…" Aura wondered how was this possible, as she looked at the two.
After a few minutes, Ervas and Veronica arrived at the scene, both of them were also crying, they couldn't believe what had happened as they saw it from afar, Aurora had been brought back to life thanks to the memories of her daughter.
"Aurora… Is that really you?! Is it not just some random soul possesing yourb body, right?" asked Veronica.
"Fufu, its me, idiot." Said Aurora.
"H-How?!" asked Ervas, almost going insane.
Aurora explained to the duo about what had happened.
At the end, she had ended leaving a clone behind, the tiniest there could be, but it was still herself as well, as long as one of her own soul parts was left, she would be alive. She simply needed to regain the memories within her body.
"So this is why your soul is so weakened. We need to quickly enhance it and give it something to eat. It needs a lot of soul energy, it is as small as a finger!" said Veronica.
"Indeed, take this for now." Said Ervas, as he handled Aurora a yellow potion made of extracted Soul Spring Water from the Spring of Souls within Helheim.
It was enhanced and refined a lot, and Ervas and Veronica used it as a drink to reinforce their souls whenever they felt tired after overusing divine energy too much.
Aurora quickly began to drink it all, feeling her soul grow several times its original size, and getting into a mode decent shape right away.
"Hahh… Thank you… Ah! Right, Violet, let's go see Ditoyle, dear!" said Aurora.
"Right!" said Violet, cleaning her tears, she kissed her mother's cheeks, nose, and even her lips slightly, as the two Teleported into Ditoyle's room.
"And there they go… I-I can't believe this…"
"Yeah… This is a miracle. Even if she left something behind… the chances were so low… I…"
"Indeed, it was very unlikely, but it happened…"
