Page 330 of Oracle Returns: Time will Stop

Out of all the psychics there, Oracle and Beckett had lost their gifts, but not their lives.

So, it was a win for them.

Now, it was time to say goodbye, but probably not forever. Lucian knew his once family pretty well.

“What will you do now?” Lucian asked, as he stood there holding both Bishop and Ridge’s hands, connecting them together because they all needed it.

A very blind Avalon shrugged.

“I mean, you still have your gift. You know the static, and you know what I did. You could come home and take over now that I’m out of the game. That is an option.”

Beside him, both Ridge and Bishop tensed.

Oh, and he knew why.

Yeah, it wasn’t an option.

“Actually, I thought about it while I wasn’t sleeping much last night. I had time to consider what you’re offering.”

Everyone there held their breaths, specifically the family who knew they could lose him too.

With Oracle’s power gone, Lucian was the next strongest Psychic on Earth.

“I’m not leaving. I said it once, and I meant it. We are home, and while I love you, Avi, and Nate, home is where the heart is, and this is my heart. I’m sorry that Oracle is gone, but I’m no one’s oracle. Lucifer maybe. Lucian definitely. My place is in the static but not doing what you do. I have people to save here. Maybe another time, and another reincarnation,” he joked.

She smiled.

Oh, he didn’t know how accurate that might be.

“Alas, Lucian, the student has become the teacher. I assumed as much.”

He kissed both sets of knuckles to the two people he adored. They had a lot to rebuild, and that would take time, and he wanted to be there to do it. Now that the darkness was gone, once and for all, they all had to move on.

And heal.

“Who me?” Lucian joked. “This old dog has a few more tricks to learn.”

He hoped.

Avalon understood.

“I figured as much. I’ll be here for the next Oracle to be trained. I’m still up to bat,” she admitted.

Bishop lifted a brow.

“You found someone to take that shit job?” she asked.

Immediately, Genesis laughed.

“Uh, she’s right here,” she stated, raising her hand.

Honestly, the family was surprised. So, she opted to explain to them.

“Josh and I were talking. California is a nice state, and honestly, Avalon protected me all those years. Someone needs to protect her too now that she’s blind…blinder.”

Someone cleared their throat.

When they looked over, Brianna and Laird raised their hands.
