Aaron now stood face to face with his brother, his eyes. His dark, lifeless eyes and evil smile. "It's been a while brother, hasn't it ?"
"Yes it is and now it must end."
"You;re wrong , it will never end Aaron as long as you live, I live. You must have known this for we have never been brothers, we are the one and the same person." Valcus's dark, mysterious face soon changed to a face all to famiiar, a face Aaron knew too well...His own. "I hate this face, it makes me sick looking at it. That's why the changes i put my self through. I won't let you defeat me. Defeating me won't prove anything."
"You're wrong, you just have to be."
"Think about it, when was the last time you feal your one true real power. We don't belong here, we are gods. Only defeating me will make you whole again. I learned this from the Master . Now if I were to defeat you, I take your power, that's just the way it works. It's Yin and Yang."
"You're right we don't belong here and I'm going to send you back to where you came from."
"So you know I won't be going alone. I have some friends of yours with me. Perhaps you know them."Alex appeared in front of him bound and tiedwhile he held the child in his arms and little Aaron cooed at him."He seems to have taking a liking to me, don't you agree."
"Let them go, they have nothing to do with you."
"if you insist, but I am going to keep this little guy. Her on the other hand , I don't really care for." He snapped his fingers and she disappeared in front of them, he closed his eyes for half a second and found her getting strangled and tortured by the Protectors. "As Guardian over the earth realm, I command you to stop,'' Aaron told them as they did so and stopped. Aaron hurried to her side to see her beaten, bruised and bleeding from her nose and lip. "Oh god, Alex please be alright." She slowly opened her eyes as much as she could through the pain. "Aaron, I don't feel so good, I feel cold."
"No you can't, you just can't I need you. Our son needs you. You can't die on me Again, please." Alex soon closed her eyes one final time and died in Aaron's arms"NO," He cried over her, sobbing and just held her closer to his chest, cradling her in his arms. he soon forgot his other self, and soon closed his eyes and laid her downand slowly stood up, with anger and rage in his eyes, for it had now just got personal. "I swear to god, i'm gonna get you if it's the last thing I do. I am, i swear it, even if it takes my last breath I will." Aaron balled his hands into tight fists, closed his eyes and disappeared. Soon the stone Protectors eyes began to glow and lifted Alex off the ground as swirls of beautiful, mesmerizing magical energy like lights engulfed Alex's body, filling her with new life and soon the wedding ring she wore had gone, replaced by another and old memories began to fill her heart as well her mind. She soflty spoke out, slowly opening her eyes. "AARON." The stone Protectors soon cracked and crumbled onto the ground and an ominous voice spoke out to her. "Ms. Russo, you have been restored and brought back to life, a Wizard you are no more. You have now the power of the Protectors running through your body. They chose you as Protector now, they found a great love burning deep in your heart and saw to it that you could never die, like your husband."
"You mean Mason Greyback?"
"NO..what is a Mason Greyback? I am speaking of Mr. Fauston." Alex soon looked to her hand and saw a ring on her finger, seeing an image inside of it. It was of her and Aaron kissing for the very first time, the time she fell in love with him too and placed her hand over her heart. "I remember this." Soon other memories began to flood her mind. Max's and her dads' deaths. Her marriage to Aaron and others that were special moments to her. The memories of her and Mason were forever gone, and had faded away.
