A/N; Again, sorry about the fact that these are slow to come out. I have to go and edit them, and then there's the incredible amount of homework my teachers give me. Seriously, I'm really sorry. I think I'll also post chapter 11 today, and then, on Friday, chapter 12. Hang with me, guys, I swear, it's coming!

Chapter 10- One Last Crown
-Lalna's POV-
I stop on my way back to the party at Zoeya's grave. The moon has come out, and the diamond headstone glitters like a thousand stars. I put the flowers on her grave, then stand up and get ready to leave. Before I go, however, I dig through the wreckage of Blackrock again. I finally find what I'm looking for there; A black crown, with a purple amethyst in the center. The crown itself is obsidian. There is no doubt whose crown this was.
Rythian's.
I dig in my bag, trying to find mine. With an "Aha!" I pull out a titanium crown with a single sapphire set in the center, forming a yin- yang with an emerald. My crown. They call me the Iron King. Zoeya was the Queen of Blazes, and Rythian the King of Night.
I take the crown with me, then look in the rubble for one last thing. I find it when a bit of moonlight glints off the beautiful purple surface. I put it in my pocket with a grin. Then with one last look at Zoeya's grave, I fly back towards the factory.
"Please don't have gone inside. Not yet."
