Chapter 21: As One

Deirdre looked at Rohan wanting badly to tell him what she had learned about herself when she had freed his soul from the Otherworld. She knew that she would have to be patient and wait until they had defeated Tynan. She hoped that they all would survive and would have to the chance to tell Rohan what she felt in her heart.

She gazed over the rubble that had once been the walls of Temra castle. Even though this had been home to a place of evil, there had still been a chance for that to change. The destruction of the Temra castle reminded Deirdre painfully of Kells Castle.

"You two should get as far away from here," Aderyn said to Conchobar and Cathbad and then saw Aideen floating by Rohan. "You too, Aideen."

Aideen crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. "I want to help."

"Aideen, I need you to help the King and Cathbad," Rohan said not wanting his fairy friend to get hurt.

"We had better hurry because Tynan isn't going to wait for us to gather our strength," Aderyn pointed out before Aideen could argue.

Deirdre was about to agree when they heard a loud rumble. "Go, father. We need to be able to stop him without worrying about you and Cathbad." Deirdre could not keep the desperation out of her voice as the ground shook once more, causing the wall that had once been part of the barracks to fall over.

"Very well, be careful all of you and may the gods grant you their blessings," Cathbad said.

Conchobar walked up to Deirdre and placed his hands on her shoulders. He then pulled her towards him and hugged her, whispering in her ear that he loved her and was immensely proud of her.

When Deirdre's father stepped back from her, she saw the tears in his eyes. Deirdre was about to reassure her father, when he kissed her on the forehead and stepped back to stand next to Cathbad.

"We will be out of your way. Take care of one another and finish Tynan, for not only Kells, but for the world," Conchobar said as he gave made sure that each knight saw the pride and trust he had for each of them shining in his eyes.

Deirdre watched silently as her father, Cathbad and Aideen retreated from the rubble, deciding to take cover in the forest. Deirdre felt rejuvenated by her father's words and by his complete trust in not only her, but in all of them.

Deirdre followed her fellow Mystic Knights, Macha and Aderyn out of what once had been the throne room, quickly climbing over the rubble with Rohan and Macha leading the way.

The ground shook once more causing them to struggle to stay on their feet, but they fell onto the ground. Tynan stood before them, rage and power emanating from him.

Ivar, Angus, Garrett and Deirdre encircled Tynan striking from different sides, trying to keep his attention diverted from Macha who had begun working on the spell.

Tynan raised his right arm as he readied an attack of lighting to strike the bothersome Mystic Knights when Aderyn was used the Amulet of Life to cause the lightning to dispense harmlessly into the sky.

Macha knew that they were giving her and Rohan time to prepare for the linked attack on Tynan.

Tynan sent a stronger attack at Aderyn making her retreat while he quickly sent another attack, this one aimed at Macha.

Rohan went to stand in front of Macha to allow his armor to take the majority of the attack, but he wasn't quick enough.

Macha was sent spiraling backwards as she landed hard on the stone rubble, causing several sharp rocks to puncture her skin. Angus was about to rush towards her when Macha raised her hand, signaling for Angus to remain where he was and that she was all right.

Aderyn stepped forward, the Amulet of Life glowing more brightly than it ever had before. She raised her hands and flicked her wrists, sending tendrils of light rushing towards Tynan. The tendrils didn't grab onto Tynan, but the tendrils of light spun around him in a circle.

"You really believe you can defeat me! This little magic light can't stop me from destroying you and taking over this world," Tynan roared as he tried to break through the light surrounding him, but it was more difficult than he had thought.

Macha pushed herself to her feet and raised her head into the air. "We know how to defeat you, Tynan. Rohan and I are the only ones with the power to destroy you since we have your blood running through us."

Macha raised her hands into the air as she used the link between herself and the Mystic Knights to channel the energy and power into Rohan and his Battle Fury armor.

Macha felt a new energy coming through the link and when she looked around, she spotted King Fin Varra standing on a large stone with his hands raised into the air, adding his magic into the link.

Macha nodded her head to the Fairy King and returned her attention to Rohan. She knew that Aderyn would not be able to hold onto Tynan for long, so she carefully increased the flow of energy to Rohan.

Rohan could feel the energy filling him, struggling to be free of him. He used all of his strength to hold onto the raw power.

He pointed the Dragon Torch at Tynan, not needing Macha's signal to send their attack at Tynan, for he was now one with Macha and the other Mystic Knights. He focused all of the energy into the Dragon Torch and when he could hold it no longer, he released it.

"NO!" Tynan screamed as the blast struck him directly in the chest. They watched as the energy from Rohan's attack spread outward from Tynan's chest like blood flowing through veins. Once the energy had spread throughout his entire body, the energy consumed him, causing an explosion of light that could be seen from several leagues away.

When the light had diminished and the wind carried away Tynan's ashes, all that remained was the rubble of Temra castle, five Mystic Knights, two magic wielding sisters, the King of Kells, a Druid, a fairy and a Fairy King.
