This is the final chapter CuddlyChristina and I managed to write together. We managed to wrap the story up well though and I hope I'm not being too overconfident about that. Thank you for your support.

This was a wondrous moment for everyone including Punpom because it was a tool that could slay the most powerful foe they'd face yet.

"I knew this was a legendary weapon!" Ian exclaimed.

"I know, right?" Henrietta asked.

"It seems to me that Kreyl is definitely no match for us!" Alexander added.

"All of us!" Ian said, and everyone cheered.

After their moment of success proving the blade had what it took to defeat their common enemy, Ian's army marched out of the town to fight Kreyl.

The journey was rather long, but the group persevered and kept going, until they finally reached Kreyl's castle.

"Looks pretty spooky." Mackie told Henrietta, who nodded in agreement.

Ian held Rica's hand tightly looking at the castle. He was suppose to be the leader and yet he didn't want to walce in without someone by his side to keep him safe.

Rica looked over at him and let out a very big smile, causing him to notice. "I have something to tell you...but I've a feeling we should wait until Kreyl is dead." she told him.

"Me too...and you're right about waiting." he replied, nodding his approval.

With that, everyone marched into the castle, all the while Kreyl watched from a balcony, ready to have his army battle against them.

"He's one lucky leader. He's still arrogant and oppressive for following that worthless king. I will be sure to wipe out all of his army one by one and then eradicate everyone from small villages slowly making my way to the Kings throne room."

As Kreyl rounded up his men, Ian and the others made their way inside the castle grounds, where they were greeted by a few enemies.

These enemies were horseback riders carrying swords or javelins. They may look strong with their superior numbers and steads, but all it took was an archer to knock the knights off their horses.

Using his crossbow, Punpom did all he could to knock them down. Once most of them hit the ground, the steeds neighed as they fled.

Ian and the others then wailed away at the horseback riders; for instance, Daniel, who was also equipped with a javelin, came face to face with one of them. Though the enemy caught him off guard at first, he was able to retaliate by giving him a few blows to the mid-area with his javelin.

Ian came to an intersection in the castle with both sides having a bad vibe to them he didn't want his army to go through.

"Do you think we should go both ways? I know it may sound dangerous, but..." Henrietta asked.

"If there are any traps, then we need to turn back to where we were." Trish added.

"No way would I make you go through something I wouldn't do. There's a wall on the end of these paths. When I reach the first one I'll come back and tell you if I found it to be safe."

Rica hugged Ian, she was worried he might not come back from his run.

"Just be careful!" she called out.

Ian nodded, before went to investigate the first of the two paths. When he reached the end, he found what appeared to be a chest. Upon opening it, he discovered what appeared to be a journal. As he took it, he discovered that it was Kreyl's journal, documenting his childrens's lives as they were growing up.

Realizing it would be a fascinating read after everything was said and done, Ian put it in a pocket, and decided to take the other path.

The other path on the other hand was a dangerous path but the traps were avoidable if Ian just told his army where not to step. He finished the path and he returned to his army.

"This way. Single file please."

The others followed his lead, making sure to avoid the traps as much as they can. When they finally cleared the path, they found themselves in the throne room belonging to Kreyl. Kreyl was in the room suspiciously alone without the help of his entire army.

"So you've come this far." he told them.

"A man of few words, huh? I'm sure they'll be your last!" Ian exclaimed.

"You jest." Kreyl said, pulling out his sword, which had a black hilt and a red blade.

Ian attacked with Falchion, the sword was glowing blue and it illuminated enough to blind people thanks to Ian's courage.

Kreyl groaned as his hands reached for his eyes; despite his attempts at slashing his opponent, he missed a few times, and was even close to wounding him.

Ian dodged the slash of Kreyl's blade right before it slashed through his bellybutton. He returned to swing back, but Kreyl dodged crouching out of the way.

This gave him the chance to slash at Ian, wounding him on his left arm. Thankfully, Ian was wielding the Falchion with his right hand.

"Daddy!" a voice called out.

The voice belonged to one of Kreyl's numerous children, a girl named Vlana. It seemed that she was on her father's side, but from the looks of it, she was clearly opposing him.

Ian couldn't strike down Kreyl now...not in front of his child. He had hope Kreyl would follow an idea like that.

Then, from out of nowhere, Vlana attacked Kreyl. "Why, daddy? Why?!" she cried as she unleashed a torrent of electric waves from her body.

This immediately caused Ian to ask, "I thought you were on his side. Why are you betraying him?"

"Because...he's insane...he's corrupt." she replied, looking as though she might cry.

"Foolish brat, you dare to oppose me?!" Kreyl asked as he slowly got up.

Tonya raised her crossbow and fired at Kreyl. He easily stopped it with a thrust of his sword in its direction. She gasped, and asked Vlana, "Who are you?!"

The girl replied, "My name is Vlana. I am one of Kreyl's many children, but I despise him for his evil intentions."

"Sounds to me she wants to help us rather than hurt us." Henrietta said. Vlana nodded her approval.

"No matter...I will get rid of you and your new friends, you little brat!" Kreyl exclaimed.

Mackie and Henrietta walked towards him with a double team fireball attack at the tyrannical king.

Kreyl was almost burnt to a crisp, and Vlana smiled, almost fearlessly. As she paralyzed him one more time, this allowed Ian to lunge straight at him, and slammed the blade of the Falchion into his chest.

The enemy collapsed to the ground, apparently on the verge of death. Vlana looked over at Ian and said, "You've done it."

"No...we've done it!" he exclaimed, pulling out the Falchion as he grinned.

He just took down an enemy no one else had the capabilities of defeating becaus they lacked the skill and weapon.

Then, from out of nowhere, more of Kreyl's children came in to attempt to attack Ian and the others, but were subdued by a mix of Vlana's paralyze attack and Henrietta and Mackie's bind magic.

The group of heroes and Vlana brought the imprisoned children along with them as they returned to Zofia, where they would receive another hero's welcome, and many were in awe of the young girl turning her back on her father.

Since Kreyl was the last enemy Zofia had in its land in the Kings' opinion, he welcomed the army by the time they made it to the village.

"Congratulations, you have successfully eradicated Kreyl and his minions!" the king exclaimed.

Ian smiled, and hugged him. "Thank you. We couldn't be any more happier!" he said.

Verinne approached Drake and kissed him full on the lips, catching him by surprise at first. He ended up returning the kiss, and smiled as he said, "Told you I'd be back."

"I can tell." she replied.

Rica then went over to Ian, and finally spoke. "I really wanted to say this to you...and uh..." before trailing off. However, she finally blurted out, "I love you, Ian!"

She finally wrapped her arms around him, and he smiled as he replied, "I love you too, Rica."

And thus, Zofia was at peace at long last, and Ian and Rica, Mackie and Henrietta, Drake and Verinne, even Alexander and Trish have begun to experience the joys of love and happiness.
