Alf sits there with a blank look in his eye. He starts shaking.

Ashen: Alf?

Alf: ..... give up your own life.... just to save us?!

Ashen: Yes..

Alf: But I wouldn't be able to live without you.

Ashen: Do you want to live? Do you want to save your friends?

Alf: Yes and Yes. but I don't want to live without you.

Ashen: I know. But this seems like the only way.

Alf drops his head down. A tear rolls down his cheek and he clenches his fists. He looks up back at Darren standing by Gerosin's motionless body.

Alf: I.... I had promised... you that we would both... make it out alive..

Korgen looks at the action and notices... Hes not paying attention to him!

Korgen sees Gerosin's lifeless body across some ways.

Korgen: Have to time this right, lets see what that gargoyle had in him.

Korgen turns pitch black and disappears

Aiesha: ...Huh? Where did Korgen go?

Jekuthiel: Eh? you don't think he fell too?

Alf: No! not Korgen too!

Alf then sees a flicker.

Alf: Hmm?

Korgen: (Into Alf's mind) I'm fine just distract him a bit. I learned to do this after scaning some mage last year. I have a trick up my sleave.

Alf understands.

*Gerosin awakes in front of the old Bokrisiegel*

Bokrisiegel: Gerosin, I must talk to you about something....

Gerosin: What's that?

Bokrisiegel: Gerosin, You are a descendant of the ancient divine flame dragons. They have chosen you to help protect the balance of the world. Your dragon morphing abilities are from them.

Gerosin: I dont believe you. Where am I?

Bokrisiegel: We are in your mind right now. You are either dead or wounded badly.

Gerosin: WHAT!!!!!?????????? HOW??!!

Bokrisiegel: That technique you used, the Rising Phoenix, was incredibly stupid. You merely hurt Darren in the whole stunt. You and Stephen only hurt you in the process. You see, the flow of power for that move works as if the power flows through literally youre entire body. You had Stephen's alien magic within you witch raveged through your body. The power was destructive and only blew up your body from the inside. Sure your body was made so that you can blow yourself up in such a way, but you overdid it. That move is an attack that your race uses in tight spots like that, except they execute it properly, with concentration, strength, mastery, and without alien magic within them. Your internal organs are suffering and may not make it through.

Gerosin: It was the only way i thought....

Bokrisiegel: *sighs* Moving on, you are to oversee the peace of the world.

Gerosin: I still don't believe you.

Bokrisiegel: Don't you understand destiny?

Gerosin remembers:


Bokrisiegel: And that thing you're remembering, the dagger, was a gift from your ansestors

Gerosin: Now you know what I'm thinking too!

Bokrisiegel: Im in you're mind what did you expect?

Alf: Fravir..

Fravir crawls over to Alf.

Alf: Is there something that we can do to help Gerosin? And where's Stephen?

Fravir: I don't know if we can help Geroisn.....and..... I don't know hwere Stephen ended up.. I'm sorry Alf..

Alf falls to the ground trying not to shed a tear. Darren begins laughing even more and more. Alf now realizes what Ashen said may be true..

Alf: That might be the only way.. *a tear rolls down his cheek*

Alf calls over Ashen

Alf: Here's what I'm gonna do. We will carry on wiht your plan, though I don't know if I will be able to make it through, but this is to stop Darren from terrorizing the local villages. To avenge the lost loved ones. To keep this world safe again.

A tear rolls down Ashen's cheek, and Alf puts his hand on her cheek.

Alf: You know that I love you. And I would do anything for you. This is just to prove that I am sticking by my word. Go, make that potion to make Darren mortal. *Alf starts Crying* I'll hold Darren off as much as I can!

Ashen goes off into a corner. She begins to concentate everything on this. She remembers what her mother told her years ago, to make the potion. Tears begin to roll down her face, not only would she be leaving Alf, but Cassidy too...

Ashen: There is no other way...you have to do it.

A voice whispers No you don't.

Ashen looks around to see no one. Then the voice comes again

My little Ashen, it is me, your mother. I'm speaking to your mind from the spirit world. My daughter, the mortation potion is hard to make, but it will not take your life. I've already paid with my life to make it. It is my will that Darren is to be killed. Once a potion is made, no one else has to give up their life. I made the potion once, to kill Darren's father that is why he hates you so. But, my daughter instead of your life, it will take all your energy and strength. You may not be able to do magic ever again but it's better then your life. I've become so proud of you. Now, save your love, your friends, your daughter.

A tear rolls down Ashen's cheek. Thank you, mother.

Ashen begins to concentate again. She whispers...Elements of the Earth, come together...Wind, Fire, Water, Earth bind yourselves together! A blinding light appears and a bottle with the potion within it appears.

Ashen: Alf, I love you...

Ashen falls to the ground, unconsious.

Fravir: *winces from pain* Alf, look...

Fravir points to an unconscious ashen with a vial in her hand

Alf: i'll get it...but...darren?

Fravir: i got this my friend. I have sworn an oath to lady ashen that i will do all i can in order to defeat Darren...let me help with this...

Fravir struggles to his feet...

Fravir: HEY DARREN!!! *wince*

Darren: why won't you admit defeat you fools!

Fravir weakly takes the Masamune out of it's sheathe

Fravir: hrrrnaaauughh!

Fravir swings the Masamune releasing a ball of light from the blade

Darren knocks it aside with little effort

Darren: hmhmhmhm....why do you persist? you have lost! look! you can barely stand!

Fravir looks at Alf and winks

He shoots another ball of light

Darren knocks it back to Fravir

the two now volley the ball of light between them

Darren: i have some time to burn before i destroy the sorry lot of you...so i'll entertain this volley game of yours...

Korgen is hiding behind Darren in a hidden form (He stole off a rogue 2 years ago).

Korgen had taken Stephen into the same form to become safe from the battle.

Korgen: Blast... it pains to see all of this. I just have to pick the right time to use it.

Korgen watches ashen do something in the corner of his eye.

He waits there a bit and see's Fravir begin attacking.

Korgen: Hmm? Darren is distracted by the volly ball game hes in.

Alf grabs the potion from Ashen.

Alf: Fravir! I can't get close enough.

Fravir: Just hold on.

Darren: Your planning something? Ha! its futile!

Darren deflects the light away from Fravir and starts heading to Alf.

Korgen: Now would be a perfect time... Korgen glows completely Dark voilet with a black arua, his sword then turns red like the gargoyle. Korgen and Stephen appear from the shadows.

Aiesha: Huh?

Fravir: What?

Alf: Eh?

Jekuthiel: Where did they!?

Korgen: RED CROSS BEAM!

Darren: What?

before darren could turn. Korgen's sword emits 2 red beams (Which would have been from the gargoyles eyes) that can puncture anything flow through Darren.

Darren: OOaafhhh!!!

Korgen: Quick!

Fravir runs and holds down Darrens arms (Hes weak from the blast so he can't resist too well)

Fravir: Alf! give him the potion!

Darren: You FOOOLLS!!

Alf runs over and slides on his knees. As he tips the potion on his mouth, he screams out..

Alf: This is for all the hell you put us all through. All your torment to everyone in this village will be in vain on your part.. All those innocent people you killed just for you own amusement. You should of known the concequences. But no, you were to stubborn and power hungry to even notice a God Forsaken thing. I will leave you to hear one final sentence from the one who defeats you like I promised Ashen I would. I hope you enjoy your stay in hell where you belong!

Alf pours the potion in his mouth and rubs his neck to make him swallow it. Darren then starts glowing for a minute, and goes back to normal.

Alf: Keep him held down.

Fravir: Right.

Alf: Everyone step back!! Jekuthial, cover Ashen's body!

Korgen: What are you doing?

Alf: Something I should of done a long time ago.

Alf conventrates and starts glowing blue and purple all at once. Though Ashen may be unconsious, she is emerging her energy to Alf through the heart to heart spell. Alf levitates his now violet sword out of his hands.

Alf: SPEEDING BULLET!!!!!

Alf levitates his sword out of his reach and at an incredible speed, he pushes it into Darren's heart.

Darren lays there shaking and gasping. We finally hear his last words.

Darren: you......fools.......----

Fravir gets back up and walks over to Alf.

Fravir: Let's get Ashen over to the tree where Cassidy was sitting a while ago. We'll see if Jekuthial can heal her.

Jekuthial: I will try my best.

Alf picks up Ashen and carries her in his arms. He gently sits her down against the tree and Jekuthial kneels down and does his best to heal Ashen.

As Jekuthial heals Ashen, she begins to stir. She is in a violent nightmare, unable to open her eyes.

Ashen: Alf! Alf! Please don't leave me!

Jekuthial: Alf, come here! You need to try to wake Ashen up!

Alf holds her close he can feel her shaking. He wonders what she's dreaming about.

Alf: Ashen, wake up! Come back to me, wake up...

Ashen keeps shaking, still unable to open her eyes.

Fravir: She might be under some spell. Keep trying to wake her, Alf!

Alf: *forces some tears out and speaks as if he were crying* Ashen.. This is Alf. Please come back to me. I know I have made some mistakes and let you slip away a few times, but please come back to me.. I have gone too far to lose you now.

As Alf talks to her, Everyone puts their heads down in despair

Alf: If you can hear me, There is only one thing that I want you to do. I don't care if you dislike me even a little bit, or are upset at me for any reason.. the only thing I want you to do is wake up. Let me see those beautiful eyes of yours. The ones that no one else but me sees. I would give up my life to hear your voice.

*Ashen begins shaking even more in his arms and tries to open her eyes, but is unable to..

Alf turns his head to the others.

Someone hand me that vial. There must be something about some kind of side effects on there.

Fravir goes for the vial..

Fravir picks up the vial and hands it to Alf

Fravir: i wish we could do something to help...

Fravir bows his head and without noticing begins to pray out loud

Alf prays with him.

Alf and Fravir: Lord, please help Ashen awake from this deep sleep she is currently in. We have been through a lot of hardships through this everlasting quest, and we see it coming to an end, but we can't do it without Ashen. She is vital to us. She is important to us.

Alf: Important to me.

Fravir: A good friend.

Korgen: A wonderful Advesary.

Jekuthial: A powerful person.

Alf: My love.

Alf and Fravir: Please. If there is one thing that we can all ask for is to bring Ashen back to us. This is our prayer lord.

All: Amen.

Alf leans down with a tear rolling down his cheek.

Alf: *Sadly Whispers in her ear* Please come back to me, Ashen. *kisses her on the lips*

Korgen: I sure hope this works. *Korgen turns to see Gerosin laying in the grass and then Stephen... who is starting to stir* Stephen?

Stephen: *Grown* What happend?

Fravir begings telling Stephen what has happend.

Aiesha: When have you learned to do all that?

Korgen: For some reason I can scan someone and gain their special abilitys plus their weakness.

Aiesha: Well everything will be back to normal as soon as Gerosin and Ashen wake up.

Korgen: Sept for our parents.

Aiesha: No, they are inside us both, smilling apon us at our victory.

Korgen: Ya I guess so, I bet we might even meet even more friends on our next journy!

Aiesha: Next journy?

Korgen: Our hometown was burnt down, we have a small cottage where I used to live, but I feel that Alf and Ashen will go through much much more! Believe it or not, I'm with him 100% of the way.

Aiesha: And I'll go wherever you go.

Both nodded and then turned to watch the last of the quest end as we wait silently for their friends to awake.

Ashen slowly opens her eyes, at first everything is blurry then it became clear.

Ashen*barely whispering* Alf...

Alf: Ashen! Ashen, my love...I thought I had lost you forever...

Ashen: You...could never...lose me...

Alf: Don't talk..you still very weak.

Ashen:Just give...me a minute...

Ashen tries to sit up, but falls back down. Alf catchs her everyone laughs.

Ashen: I guess I am still pretty weak...*looks in Alf's eyes and hangs on to him*

Alf holds her in his arms and looks up into the heavens.

Alf: Thank you Lord.. I couldn't of asked for someone better.

A tear rolls down Alf's cheek. Ashen lifts her arm and wipes the tear away.

Ashen: Please don't... cry.. I'm ok..

Alf: I was just so worried that I had lost you forever.

Ashen: I just said that... you will never lose me.

Ashen looks into his eyes as Alf looks into hers. Alf leans in and kisses her.

*Romantic Music anyone? lol*

Stephen: Is.... Ashen ok?

Fravir looks over and sees her kissing Alf and smiles.

Fravir: Oh, she's fine now! *laughs a bit*

Stephen: Could you help me over there?

Fravir: Not yet, let's wait for Gerosin to come to.

Stephen looks over at Gerosin laying face down on the ground.

Stephen: I still can't even remember what happened.. I remember focusing some of my magic on Gerosin, next thing I know, my vision is blurry and I'm on the ground.

Korgen walks over.

Korgen: Let's help him up. We all need to talk about what we are going to do next. is this were we part, or is this where we continue?

Fravir: Ok, Let's get Stephen over there.

Korgen and Fravir lift Stephen up and put his arms around their heads. They guide him over to the tree where Ashen, Alf, Jekuthial and Aiesha are located.

Fravir: Alf, Ashen... We have a surprise for you.

Alf and ashen look over.

Alf and Ashen: Stephen!!

Stephen: Did we win?

Alf: Yes we won, After you two tried to weaken him, Fravir truly weakened him while Ashen made that potion...

Ashen: I didn't make it, I summoned the vial from my mother. She is the one who originally made it. She only used one dose on Darren's father. My mother died making the potion. But she reached me through my heart from the heavens. She told me eveything I had to do. She said it would not kill me, but it would weaken me to the point where I have no strength at all. I did all this for you guys. All my friends, and my love.

Stephne: wow...
