Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you,

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold to

In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear,

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

And my heart will go on and on -My heart will go on by Celine Dion





Geoff stepped away from the statues to get a better look just to see how great the view was. He stood with Mansel and Orodruin at the foot of the temples entrance. In awe Geoff, Mansel and the old priest beheld the fascinating beauty of the sacred temple. The rising spirits shone brightly above the place holders of the dragon statues, small shafts of light bent slightly to rest and scatter across the temples walls. Drake rushes to the rising platform and lifted Grace's limp body off the stone floor. Her molting wings fell lifeless draping, feathers brushing the floor behind her. A Dark shadow cast its poison, thickened, and engulfed over the temple as the darkness drew more near.



" Grace wake up?" Drake pleaded cradling her head with his clawed hand. Grace trembled from weakness looking dazzlingly up through a grate at the ceiling and mumbled", let death come..". Drake released a hopeless sigh holding her trembling body with both his clawed hands while he sat tall hovering over everything. Gently he ran his claws through her soft hair carrying his voice like a soothing lullaby," Grace I realize your tired and I promise you when this is all over I'll take you on an adventure a real adventure.but if you don't do something now were all going to die.do you understand?". Grace sighed fatefully feeling her life being slowly sucked away", what's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it and all that its worth.".



Drake slowly slid his eyes shut and opened them observing the paved moonstone rising on the floor," no.your right.your absolutely right", he paused feeling his heart swell, heavy with pain, like the world was alternately crashing around him. He gently pulled Grace closer, his voice even softer", but there are things worth saving wonderful things.". Graces skin was pale like God's only dove and her head lay lightly upon Drakes shoulder, her voice cracking," you mean like love."she faintly asked. " Yes love.love is worth saving love is very precious, very valuable" Drake replied running his clawed fingers lightly down the small of her back, trying his best to comfort her.



Grace broke into sobs but the tears never ran fourth," I've never known love.". She pulled away from Drake tilting her head to look up at the grate in the ceiling once again," I was trained to protect.not to love so there's no point on me even doing this.". " No! Your wrong! It doesn't have to be like that! Grace I..", Drake hesitated swallowing the heavy sorrow in his throat", Grace I need you I need you so much.", His eyes shot into hers. Graces blue-green eyes stirred into his as she reached out for a crystal rose in a dozen of red roses trying to seek out an answer that was there. " Drake why do you need me?" she asked. " Because." Drake whispered and looked away from her squeezing his eyes tightly shut to fight the burning tears. " Drake?" Grace begged, whining and cried out faintly," please tell me, why is it you need me so much?".



Outside the ruins of the temple a heavy rain fell and the roar from it slid crumbling the roof top of the temple with a heavy hail crashing down in vast spears and shards unlike anything nature possessed. The shards and ice were billowed out by an overwhelming wave of fire and tortured screams as the dark force came down from the sky. It's wild crest of fire curled and came foaming down upon the land in a rage of black fire.













Grace pleaded in her cries trying to find the answer from Drake. Mansel could hear the destruction presuming outside the temple knowing that the hungry anger of the dark was close. With a serious expression pressed against his features he mumbled," tell her Drake.". Tears reflected the twilight of sorrow in Graces eyes, as she melted Drakes heart with their innocence. " Tell me." she whimpered out toward Drake. " Because I need you." Drake replied in a shooken gentle voice," I love you.I love you now and I'll love you forever and I always will Grace.there's no goodbye.there's only love.", he whispered as he closed his eyes feeling the burning tears spill off his face and placed a gentle kiss upon Graces forehead embracing her with his arms. With the gentle embrace, he then incased her entire body within his wings.



As the end drew near, so many innocent and fearful faces across the land prayed their last hope to end it all. Their lives would be in forever darkness or their souls forever blessed in light. Most kept faith and hope with them, crying out for a seldom peaceful angel that could save them from the fear, the pain, the sadness and the death that tortured their souls until they reached up into the emptiness with nothing to find.



Geoff, Mansel, and Orodruin stood back a way's as they watched the entities from the gems light up with shear brightness washing colors across the temple walls save for the only light visible apart from the darkness. Each entity suddenly exploded in vibrant shades of bright colors and beams of solitary light all at once gathered them selves and shot like arrows into Drake impaling him with their divine power. After, the divine source penetrated Drakes sullen beating heart, another light distorted out from him and shot clear into Grace. Her body shot back arms stretched and her head shifted to the sky as a deafening scream followed by a stream of bright heavenly light shot through the grate of the temples ceiling.



The light made the others stand back and shield their eyes from the brightness. The light its self shot like an ion canon hitting on impact with the shadow dragon and the chaos it brought with it. Tremors advanced the sonic scream of the angel made the temple shake brutally. The anger of the dark broke out in suffering cries of remorse. Its entire form and every dark demon it brought with it was suddenly consumed and crucified by the intense steam of blessed light. The temple shook more than ever. One of the towering statued dragons leaned slowly forward as the rest moved like masts of ships. They seemed to twitch and rise taller. One tower holding the temple up fell, while a second one fell crossways smashing on the first. Then a third tower fell a light speed to the angry ground. The waltz of the temple bulged, the whole great mass ruinous moonstone and masonry changed shape like clay in running water and sank upon itself, with a roar. A sudden storm of dust and splinters slid sideways and collapsed.



The surrounding areas of the temple ripped and bucked, a kind of wave ran up gaping the air. The blackness underneath was oozing dust like white smoke. The turbulence from the blessed light emitting from Grace, dissolved the shadow dragon, and soaked up every dark tangled demon with it. The chaos changed shape into an orbiting field of energy then exploded like a wild fire shooting small threads of dieing light across the night's sky. After the explosion the blessed light was usurped into the angel and flocked itself back into Drake, then aspirated and finally disappeared. The entities that shed their half of the blessed light slowly sank into their chambers, their shadows slowly paving the walls, and soon were returned within the protective barriers of the gems they stirred from.



Geoff took a few wobbily steps forward with his with his widened blue eyes pinned to the ceiling grate and his jaw dropped all the way. Mansel screamed out in excitement, While Orodruin sighed in relief thankful that finally, the prophecy of the dragon stigmata was now over, and once again, the good over threw the darkness.
