Disclaimer: Ok everyone, I'm sure you've already heard this a million times, but none of these characters belong to me. They all belong to Tamora Pierce, except for Lillian. Of course, I wrote this chapter, so please don't copy my work without my permission. Thanks for reading and REVIEWING!!

[A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter, now that I've tortured you enough through this fic, I'm gonna make it end, happily ever after…hehe. REVIEW PLEASE!! Oh yea, I forgot, I know I mentioned in the first chapter that Daine was Numair's finance, but can I take that back? Please?! I need to take it back because of um…something that will be revealed in this chapter. Wouldn't you rather have me take it back so you can Daine can marry Numair and they'll live happily ever after? Hehe, I've decided to probably add a wedding scene since I love my story too much for it to end. ^_^]

Daine slowly opened her puffy red eyes, and wondered where she was. She was very warm, and someone was lying next to her. She turned around and smiled as she saw Numair, his hair tousled, and spread out over the pillow. Daine snuggled closer to him and grinned as Numair wrapped his arms around her and hugged her close. She still hadn't gotten over the shock of losing Numair, then finding out he wasn't dead. She never wanted to leave his side again. Just then, Numair opened his eyes also to see a pair of beautiful gray eyes staring into his. He smiled and brushed a strand of chesnut brown hair behind her ear. "There's something I need to ask you magelet," Numair began tentatively, and Daine nodded eagerly.

"Well as Ozorne was attacking me the only thing I thought of regreting in my life was not giving you this." Numair opened his palm and revealed a beautiful diamond ring.

"Veralidaine Sarrasri, will you marry me?" he asked hopefully.

"Yes Numair, I love you and I always will!" Daine cried and she kissed Numair happily.

"You know what, my beautiful magelet? It was your love that gave me the power to live. I almost welcomed death when I was being tortured by Ozorne. But then I reached into my pocket and felt the ring, right then I knew that I had to live to see myself be married to you, and the diamond gave me the final power to cast sorcerer's sleep. Even though I didn't have my gift, I had a kind of magic that Ozorne would never be able to stop, the power of love," Numair explained, and he looked at Daine, tenderness filling his face. Daine's heart began to beat faster, and she wondered what kind of spell Numair had cast on her to create a love for him so strong that she lived for it.

[A/N: Sorry this was so short, I didn't want to post the wedding yet. I think you'd all kill me if I ended in the middle of that! The next chapter will be longer, I promise! Oh yea, after the last chapter I posted, I didn't get many reviews! *sniff sniff* Oh well, there's always this chapter….*HINT HINT* Have fun reviewing!]

clarylissa: lol, I'm not exactly the most normal person either….^_^ Thanks for reading and reviewing my story so much…*sniff sniff* I'm so glad you liked it! I'm going to write another fic about Leaf, Daine, and Numair! Yay! Thanks for the support! Luv always!

Anonymous: Thanks! Ok, I'll try to maybe make the chapters longer, it takes me forever to write a chapter, and sometimes I just don't want to keep everyone waiting. But I'll keep that in mind!

Senna Night: hehe, yea, maybe you should! But that would be really sad…poor Numair!

Alanna of Collins: Thanks! Ok, go ahead and tell Henry and Craig, they'll think it's really sappy…but oh well! Hehe

Tequila: Thanks so much!! I'm gonna go read a couple of your fics bye!

Martini: Thanks! I wanted you to know that one of the reasons why I got the last chapter up a little faster is cuz of your constant reviewing. Hehe, thanks again!
