"Oh, His father will not like this..." Cragger said as his friends watched Laval charge for the Legend Beast.
Once the Lion Prince was hit, all time stopped. A silent corpse of a lion laid there where Laval was once standing.
"So much for a 'Great Lion'." Spinlyn said crossing her arms, with Braptor and Scorm laughing.
His friends rushed to him while the Dark Tribes rejoiced.
"Laval! Laval!" Eris yelled trying desperately to shake Laval awake. But the lion didn't respond. No breathing.
Nothing. Worriz opened Laval's eye lid, the lions eye rolled back.
"Is he-?" Cragger began. Worriz shook his head.
Laval had expired before their eyes.
"Where, am I? Hello?" Laval called out. No answer.
"Dad? Eris? Cragger? Anyone?!"
Still no one. Just mist, fog and darkness. he recognized the fog.
'Fog of Destiny...'
Was he going through his destiny? Or was this something else?
"Laval..." A voice whispered.
Laval looked around. No one was around.
"Laval..."
There it was again! Still, no one could e around to whisper his name.
"Laval..."
The voice repeated. He heard it. He knew it was coming from somewhere.
"Laval..."
He followed the voice to see a small light.
"Laval, over here..." The voice said again.
Laval walked closer seeing a small lion cub. It was a girl, and about four or five. She was glowing white, and had this halo around her.
"Who are you? And how do you know my name?" He asked.
The little Lion girl giggled, and said,
"I'm Lu'lur. and, I know many things you never would."
"Well Lu'lur, where am I?" He said kneeling next in front of her.
"Well, this is The Path."
"The Path? To where?"
"The Beyond. Where Angels reside."
"Angels...So, I'm-"
"Expired."
"Laval!" Eris cried out in sorrow. The other warriors and Crominous joined in a mourning silence. LaGravis will not be happy, happy, happy.
"You, MONSTERS!" Cragger yelled at the top of his voice.
A now enraged battle started. The warriors fought, fought and fought. And brought down the evil tribes one at a time.
"Please...No more..." Spinlyn begged the warriors weakly.
"That's what Laval said when I was controlled by my monster of a sister..."
But Cragger and the others sparred them. Though damage has already been done to not just them, but to the rest of Chima.
Laval felt cold pain in his heart. Him. Dead. He couldn't be dead! But if he was,...
"But, then why am I not going to where Demons reside?"
"Because, you created the Dark Tribes, true, but you went to correct your mistake. And you helped save the rest of Chima."
Laval still was confused. How could this little cu- Angel, know so much?
"Well, I-I cant go."
"Why not?"
"Because, I have my friends, my father and tribe! I cant leave them. Not like this at least."
"I understand. I can reincarnate you. But there will be a cost."
"What cost? I'll do anything!"
"You must remain a Angel. And, it will be a while for you to come back to life."
"Consider it done."
With a glow of her hand, Lu'lur touched Laval's chest, and then he glowed too.
Then, he vanished.
The warriors tied Laval to the Legend Beast, and they all headed back to Lavertus's hide out.
Lavertus was in shock at the sight of Laval.
"He never need to die." Cragger said crying.
"It's ok. I'm sure he's at least found peace for himself." Lavertus said patting the young crocodile's shoulder.
Crominous hated Lavertus, but he knew the lion was trying to help them.
"This is a sad day for Chima. But it will be no better for LaGravis." Crominous said looking out the window.
They wrapped Laval up in a blanket, with a sword in his hands pointing to his feet. Eris placed a flower crown on his head.
He looked peaceful. Like he was sleeping.
The next day, the people of Chima spotted them on the horizon. They cheered for their return.
LaGravis smiled to them but then he felt something wrong.
"Young warriors, where is Laval?"
Eris, Cragger and the others smiles disappeared. The Lion beast kneeled down, and all saw the bundle on his back.
They took the bundle off, and opened the blanket, for all to see.
LaGravis wanted to scream from what he saw.
