An hour passed since Orion had asked Mike about the Grimshore and during this hour, Orion asked many things about his family from Mike.
He wanted to know what had changed during the times he was away and after hearing Mike explain everything to him, he understood what he needed to know.
"Young Master, we have entered Blitz Haven."
Orion nodded upon hearing Mike's words.
'I am here. Mother, sister, just wait for me.'
He thought silently.
Sometimes later, they finally reached the home planet of the Darkwood Family.
Mike opened the screen in the void shuttle, which showed a planet closing in on them.
It appeared bigger than anything Orion and his friends had ever witnessed before.
The spherical planet was green with shades of golden here and there and at the centre of the planet was the area where the density of the golden shade was higher than anywhere else on the planet.
"Morse."
Orion muttered to himself, looking at the planet that was becoming bigger and bigger as time passed.
Being a 3-star planet. Morse was almost ten times the size of Sadola, which was only a 1-star planet.
There were many monsters living here and the strength of each monster could be around gold rank or higher.
There were also weak monsters that inhabited this planet but they were rarely seen. They were too weak and as a result, they ultimately became food for the stronger monsters.
However, despite the hierarchy among the monsters, the ecosystem remained balanced. The weaker creatures played their crucial role as prey, sustaining the stronger ones and ensuring the planet's equilibrium.
As the shuttle went closer and closer to Orion's home, his heart rate kept increasing.
Soon, he saw a massive city appear on the screen. Orion smiled as he saw that city. It was the city in which he had roamed the most in his childhood with his sister.
The void shuttle went past the city and landed in an area where hundreds of void shuttles like the ones they came from had been parked here.
"Young Master, should we go?" Lisa asked excitedly. It was also her first time here in five years and she really missed this the entire time she followed Orion.
Orion nodded but on the inside, he was cursing. Since he didn't have mana, this thing was useless to him. He would probably have to ask someone to imbue the mana in it or he would have to go to the servants villa to talk to him about anything he would want.
Although it was useless, he couldn't reject it.
"Aright, I will keep that in mind."
He put on his space bracelet and walked towards the palace with his friends.
Sometimes later, they were standing at the entrance of the palace.
Looking at the huge palace in front of him, Orion recalled many things. Some were as sweet as sugar, while others were painful and bitter.
He approached the palace entrance, where pillars lined both sides. As he neared, a middle-aged woman emerged from within.
Orion felt so much emotion inside of him seeing that figure that he couldn't even react and just stood there, tears streaming down his face.
It was a moment he had longed for, a reunion he had dreamed of countless times since the moment he regained his memories.
Seeing that figure brought a flood of emotions surging within Orion—joy, relief, and an overwhelming sense of love. His heart swelled with gratitude for this unexpected blessing, yet he couldn't find the words to express the depth of his emotions.
Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably as he stood there, frozen in disbelief and overwhelmed by the realization that his dream had finally come true.
As his mother approached, her expression softened with recognition and love, and without a word, she enveloped him in a warm embrace, dispelling years of longing and uncertainty in an instant.
Orion didn't move and enjoyed his mother's embrace as he closed his eyes, feeling safe and cherished in her arms. The sound of her heartbeat was like a soothing lullaby, and the warmth of her presence enveloped him like a cosy blanket on a cold winter's night.
He could hear her gentle breathing, steady and reassuring, as if reminding him that he was loved beyond measure.
In that moment, time seemed to stand still, and all that mattered was this precious bond between mother and child.
As if satisfied by the years of longing and uncertainty, Orion stood in awe, unable to tear his gaze away.
The sight before him filled a void he hadn't fully realized existed, bringing a profound sense of peace and completeness. It was as if every trial and tribulation had led to this moment, where all doubts and fears melted away in the presence of undeniable truth and love.
"Mother, I am back," barely recognizable choking words escaped from Orion's mouth, thick with emotion.
His voice trembled with a mixture of relief, disbelief, and the weight of all the years apart. It was a simple declaration, yet it carried a lifetime of longing and hope fulfilled.
"I know. My son is back," came her gentle reply, filled with a quiet certainty that embraced Orion's soul.
