Conner winced from his hidden position. "Come out, Lord Nightblade." Sonake laughed, placing his sword against Malcen's neck. Nightblade and Palacen stayed where they were, just above the Hokages hidden by rocks. Palacen looked at Nightblade worryingly. "Ender …" he whispered, "We have to do some-" He was cut off by the sound of a gag and a scream from Malcen, and then a thud as his head hit the floor. Palacen scrunched his eyes shut as Ketei lined two arrows up behind Talos and Byrus. He fired, and the two EnderLords dropped down dead, their corpses on fire. "Now" Ender Nightblade whispered, and they jumped from behind the rocks at the six Hokages. Ender's blade immediately severed Malladus' head, and Ketei was sliced in two by Lord Palacen. Halai jumped at him, but Palacen caught him and tossed him into the void. Hyperiate blasted lightning at Ender, only for him to deflect it with his sword towards Kronos, who fried in his armour. Sonake and Hyperiate stood opposite the two EnderLords. Palacen leapt forward, blade first, and stabbed Hyperiate. Sonake screamed as she fell and swung his sword around, slashing Lord Palacen at the waist. Palacen fell to his knees. Ender launched himself at Sonake and grabbed him around the neck. They struggled for a moment, until Sonake slipped, and tumbled down, into the void.

Ender fell onto his back and breathed. He crawled over to Palacen. "Sleep, brother" he said, covering his fallen comrade with his cloak. Ender got up and jogged over to Qarvus. The dragon was breathing - just about.

"I am weak now," spake Qarvus, the Last Dragon. "There is but one place our kind can go." Qarvus spoke of Earth. He spoke of the land and the sea. He told of many colours. Ender listened carefully. He was young, and the planet sounded a beautiful place. "Ender …"

"Yes, my master ?"

"Take this." Qarvus rolled a purple orb to Ender. He picked it up. "It will help you."

"And this." He gave Ender a dragon egg, black with purple flecks. "My son. Qarvil. Take him. Hyrosil …. minixu." The dragon coughed as Ender wrapped the egg up safely. "Find them … Ender … my warrior …"

"Find what, my master ?"

But there came no reply. Ender bowed his head.

Conner watched, quietly, the EnderLords be slaughtered, and then his own kin. He breathed a sigh of relief when his brother went over into the void. Conner followed Ender until he came to a landing pad. Ender rushed through all the burning villages desperately looking for anyone who hadn't fled the End yet. But he found none. He packed much armour and many weapons, as well and End food and luxuries into his small escape pod. Conner watched him for hours as he put the dead into burning heaps. He saw the glint of tears in the last of the Enderfolk's eyes. After many hours, Ender got into his pod. He sobbed a little before closing the door. The ship flew high, up to the stars, and far away.
