Original Version

Bryan had emerged from the fight with Hasting without any serious injury. The most he had being a headache. With Charles by his side, Bryan looked up into the night sky.

"I envy you, Charles." Said Bryan. "You have a home, friends, family all that I am denied until I find my people."

"Do not speak of such things!" exclaimed Charles. "Dollarhyde shall always be open to you for what you have done! You have taught us an important lesson. You are an Eachtrannach just as Hasting and Ivar were."

"I have taught you that good and evil is everywhere but to find the good you must be willing to look for it." Said Bryan.

Charles nodded. "Dollarhyde can be like a home to you. As for a friend my face is that of a friend and an ally in the fight against the forces of Dun!"

"And what of family?" asked Bryan.

"The Sky Gods are your family!" replied Charles. "The ichor of Dall and Fein flows through your veins! Their son Thorion is your great-grandfather! They will not forsake you! You are the great-great grandson of the God of Battle and the Goddess of Love! You are blessed! Victory is yours and a loving partner shall be yours!"

"Victory and life don't always go hand in hand." Commented Bryan.

"Then you shall be in the Hall of the Slain, the place where heroes go." Stated Charles. "And when you do go there I hope my god can allow me to visit you there! To lose your friendship just because we cannot see each other in our paradises is too sad a thought."

"Dall is good." Said Bryan. "If your god will not allow it then Dall certainly shall." Bryan stood up and looked out at the horizon. He was ready to continue his long journey.

"I shall pray for your success, Bryan." Said Charles. "To my god and all of yours save Dun."

"Thank you, Charles. One day, I shall come back here."

The day was just commencing to arrive when Bryan Croi-Dragon continued on his journey to find his dispersed and diminished people.

The End

Minecraft Diaries Version

The Sky Gods speak to us in our dreams

They send us warnings

They send us possibilities

They send us heroes

Asleep upon a hill, Bryan did dream an incubus most horrible. He dreamed of a black panther so large that the beast's shadow did envelop Kawaii~Chan as Dante cried out in a pain that only a man who has lost both wife and child can cry out.

Awaking with a fright, Bryan looked around. As sweat poured from his body, Bryan quickly calmed himself. He was not one who usually had nightmares but this one was different. This one was a warning from the Sky Gods themselves.

Standing up and placing his sword in his belt, Bryan did turn to see two unfamiliar faces standing before him but yet there were also familiar to him. Judging from their appearances there were none other than Malachi and Zoey.

"Kawaii~Chan is in danger isn't she?" asked Bryan. "Her and the unborn child!"

"How did you know?" asked Zoey. "Levin sent us to find you when Hasting and his men arrived in town."

"The story quickly!" exclaimed Bryan.

"They have overpowered Logan and Dante and Hasting is about to kill Kawaii~Chan." Stated Malachi.

"Why?" asked Bryan, completely unable to figure out why Hasting would do such a thing! "I thought he had always viewed Dante as a worthy opponent. Why does he suddenly wish to kill Kawaii~Chan? Has the blackguard got no honor that he now stoops so low as to kill pregnant women just to kill a baby?"

"Hasting believes that Dante killed his son Ivar so now he wishes to make Dante feel the pain he does regardless if Dante's child has been born or not." Explained Zoey.

It was that moment that felt like an eternity for Bryan but in reality it was only a second. He was the one responsible for this. He had killed Ivar and now if he was too late then that meant he had really killed Kawaii~Chan and her and Dante's unborn child as well.

"This I cannot allow!" exclaimed Bryan. "This slaying shall not take place!" He immediately started running for Phoenix Drop and it was that day that the legend of Bryan Croi-Dragon began to grow.

Note: The MCD version is a chapter longer than the original version. This was done because I felt four chapters was not enough for the MCD version. The fifth chapter will be coming next.
