I looked up at the sky and stared as the color started to turn pinkish-yellow. I sighed and sighed again. It's been three years since the battle for Halla ended and now that I think about it, I kind of miss all the adventure and action. Though, most of all, I missed Loor. Yes, I know I should be happy that all this is over and that I have Courtney and Mark, but it just didn't feel right anymore.

Flashback

I stared at the body of Saint Dane. I was gasping for breath as the knife he impaled me with, dug deeper into my skin. Yet, I did it; I killed him once and for all. I fell onto the ground and thought that this was the end.

"Pendragon!" a familiar voice said.

Someone crouched down beside me and I realized that it was Loor.

"No, Pendragon," she begged, "you can't die. Not after this victory." She put her hand over my wound and started focusing on healing it. "Don't die don't die," she said over and over again.

I felt better as the tingling feeling was focused around my wound. "Loor," I choked.

She sighed with relief and I could tell that she was crying. "Pendragon."

I looked up at her. "Loor, thank you. I really love you," I said and waited for the I-love-you-too-but-the-battle's-still-not-over-and-we-need-to-focused look.

Instead, she leaned down and kissed me. "I really love you too, Pendragon."

"Then stay with me," I offered, "stay on Second Earth with me."

She shook her head. "I'm sorry but the battle doesn't end with Saint Dane. We still need to help manage certain territories…I'm going back to Zadaa."

"Then I'm going with you," I said and tried to protest when she shook her head, but she put a finger on my lips.

"No, you are needed in other territories to fix what happened. My place is not on Second Earth….and neither is yours. Promise me that you won't come back to me. We have to focus on saving the territories that went into chaos because of Saint Dane."

"I wished that after Saint Dane is died, it would be over," I said softly, "but I guess not."

She leaned down again and kissed me. This time, she didn't pull away when I tried to make the kiss longer.

We didn't care who saw us as long as we were together.

I walked down to the flume in the subway. I knew that I had to keep my promise and help mend other territories but the urge was too great.

"Zadaa!" I yelled and felt myself being carried away by the flume.
