"No!" Aynsley screamed as he fell to his knees in total frustration. The snow didn't even faze him.

The Queen grabbed her kids in an embrace as if thinking that they were next. Kel stood and glared at the tower that had caused her so much pain in life and Dom took his tearful wife in his arms. He had never really seen her cry and it pained him to see her this way. Diane walked over to comfort her ailing son. Numair just stood there giving off a slight black glow.

Was Xanthe the girl in the prophecy? Could she be the one? There was only one way to find out.

"Aynsley," Numair said coldly, " have you kissed Xanthe?"

Aynsley looked at his father in shock. Why was he asking him this now?

"If you must know then, yes."

Numair straightened. "Do you know if Armod has kissed her?"

Aynsley shot his father a look of disgust.

"Yes."

Numair froze. "Awaken only by a kiss of love and a kiss of lust...." He whispered.

Aynsley got up and walked over to his father, worried.

"What is going on?"

"You have no idea how much danger Xanthe is in." Numair told him in a voice he hadn't used in a long time.

"We need to help her!"

"There is nothing we can do."

"Like hell there isn't!" Anysley got up to his feet and walked over to his father in rage.

"Listen to me boy! We cannot do anything for her! We must pray that she makes the right choice, other wise we are all doomed."

Aysnley stood there with his mouth open. "I am not going to stand here and wait for her to come back! I love her to much!"

"It's the only thing we can do."

"No, it isn't! I'm going to find her!"

"I am warning you...."

"You can't stop me."

"I can and I must."

Aynsley looked at his mother who was in tears. "Good-bye."

And with that, Aynsley was gone.
