Ok so I meant to post this earlier, but vacation and limited wifi made sure it was later. I typed this chapter up and wifi cut out. I just want this story over with so I can start planning the next story. Yes there will be another, but be it sequel or correlating story, I don't know. Long story short, I just typed this to describe the other ending.

Daren tells Nitto to think of Helia, about how she'll have to raise the kids alone. Nitto decides it isn't worth chasing Loki and goes back. Daren and Reaper stop the poison and bleeding. Helia lays 3 eggs that eventually hatch with 2 males and 1 female. As his mate and offspring sleep, Nitto looks up and says, 'This is the start of something big isn't it?'

But Loki also survives by using her fire to cauterize her wounds and stop the bleeding. She lives to kill another day.

When I get some time and motivation, I will type the whole chapter and post it at length, but as it stands right now in the real ending, Loki is dead and the world is at peace.
