The Not so Happy ending

"I've got to get in closer if I'm going to take him out!" said Gregor

"Hang on!" said Ares

Gregor found himself directly under the Bane's foreleg. He plunged his sword into the soft flesh.

"Get out!" Gregor cried "Get out Ares!"

The Bane grabbed Ares's wing, and spun him around while they were trying to get out. They were face to face. Gregor dropped Solovet's dagger.

The Bane pushed Ares out from under Gregor and onto the ground. Gregor floated in mid-air as he put all of his force onto the blade. At the same moment Gregor's blade pierced the Bane's heart the Bane's claws pierced his. He flew backwards about 15 feet; he had about 45 seconds to live and knew it. Above him there was a flash of gold fur.

Luxa and Aurora. Luxa did a somersault and landed by his side.

"You shouldn't have come." Said Gregor, he was unbelievably calm; he was beyond help which Luxa discovered a couple of seconds later. It was almost a relief to be dying, he wouldn't have to suffer and see things die; he wouldn't have to kill anymore either. His only regret was that he didn't get to spend anymore time with Luxa.

Ares and Aurora fluttered over to his side and soon found out what Luxa already knew. Gregor examined his bond and grasped his claw in his hand. "Hang in there man, stay social don't hide away again." Said Gregor, his voice and eyesight were beginning to fail.

He turned to Luxa. "You'll do a good job leading your people, I have faith in you." He realized he was lying on her lap.

"I hate you." She said calmly, Gregor chuckled bringing up blood.

"Two last things before I go." Luxa actually started to cry now. "Make sure my family gets back safe." Said Gregor

"Of course I will!" said Luxa tears running down her face

"Finally, I hope you can forgive me for locking you in the dungeon someday, just know that it was for your own good, I didn't want the people of Regelia without a leader." He said, "Don't hurt yourself emotionally or physically, be happy. I hope you know that I loved you." With those last words Gregor the Overland or the Warrior as some called him died.

Fifteen minutes later Howard caught up with Luxa. He saw a clump of two bats and his cousin sitting about 30 fathoms away (That's about fifteen feet if you're wondering) from the Bane's dead body. He realized what must have happened and walked over to the sobbing Luxa. It was tough to pry Gregor's body from her grasp but somehow he managed and placed him on Nike, Howard had to pick up Luxa and place her on Aurora's back, she was clearly in another place. As they flew to the city of Regelia he reflected on Gregor's life, not kind to say the least.

The tomb was beautiful even after the nth time she'd seen it, the tomb was white marble inlaid with intricate designs and with a large heading reading

Gregor the Overlander

Fell to the Bane in the war of Time

Fulfilled his role as the warrior

We are indebted to him

Luxa placed flowers at the foot and just stood there for a while, it was the one year anniversary of Gregor's death, a year she had spent fulfilling his last wishes. His grieving family was later shown the prophecy and then escorted back home to the overland.

So lost in thought was Luxa that she didn't notice the cutters on the ridge until it was too late. She fought furiously but was soon overwhelmed.

Gregor had been waiting a long time for Luxa, but not as long as he hoped he would have to. Luxa ran into his arms, not even caring she was dead and together they walked off into eternity.

Me: See not such a bad ending after all ( please don't kill me for killing them)

Mob: Too bad

Me: Ahhhhhh!!!!
