--/Chapter 10/And So It Ends/--
"Ready?" Naiya asked. They were standing on a cliff above the sea, Magical sight extended over the ocean, giving them a clear picture of the Islanders ships. Coven looked at her, he had an odd look in his eyes that made her nervous. She thought for a moment he was going to kiss her. And then he did. Shocked for a moment she drew back before pursuing him.
"Now I'm ready." He said, smiling at her shocked face. Quickly he threw his power out to the sea, pouring his power into the sea. Naiya sighed as she joined him in the world of whirling moisture and magic.
Any one who saw the two great mages that day would have cowered from the power they emenated. Their clothes rippled vilontly even though there was no wind. Hazy blue magic surrounded them and streamed from their hands. Flashes of light sparkled inside their clouds of magic. Hands entertwined they looked like two gods here to wreak havoc on the land.
Hours later they had their storm spinning up the coast. Miles wide they had made sure that the storm would kill every thing in it's way. The two stood immoveable, attempting to control the storm.

"Did they all get out?" The king yelled at his head mage.
"They all got the message." Numair said. "Wether or not they left I don't know." He said sleepily. He had been up all night sending messages to all of the cities, villages and tribes along the coast. Now he was listining to the king yell about it. Diane had spent the night telling the animals to get out of the area. Most of the other people were in their rooms trying to sleep.

"I'm tierd of waiting." Keladry moaned. Neal smiled, a rare occurance these days.
"Yup." He said and went back to his book.
"Are you listening to me?" She demanded. Neal looked up in surprise. She rarely showed so much emotion.
"This really streses you out huh?" He said quietly.
"Yes." She muttered.
"This is how it works during war. You wait." He said calmly.
"This isn't war. This is two sixteen year old kids playing in the ocean." He watched as she began pacing. "And you didn't ever sit in Scanra. There were always people to train things to build or fix." Neal stood up and grabbed her shoulders.
"Kel, it is going to be fine." He said firmly.
"Okay, okay." She said, looing into his sad grey eyes.

They were cold, so cold, and Naiya was already drawing power from the sea. The storm was begining to come over them now and though their souls were held in place by magic their bodies were begining to stagger. Their minds had flown with the storm and were connected only by a thin string of magic. Both were tierd and were longing for their beds. But the storm was only halfway through its course.
The storm, though hard to control, was sucsessful. Everything in it's way had been destroyed.
--/--
"Whats wrong?" Kel asked Neal softly. He looked at the floor.
"Yuki's leaving." He said quietly. Kel was shocked, she'd known thongs were rocky between the two, but not that bad. "Back to the islands. Her father has created an acceptable marrige for her." He said bitterly.
"Oh Neal." She said, not knowing what to say. She reached for his arm. "I'm sorry Neal." She said quietly.
--/--
Naiya watched as she and Covens bodies staggered against the gale. Covens body was swaying back and forth. As particularly violent blast of wind knocked him over and into the surf. Naiya's grip on the storm loosened greatly,making a snap decision and let it free. As she returned to her body she hit the rock, her knees and hands sliced easily against the sharp rocks. Making her agonized body move she dove in after him.
Swimming towards him she realized just how sore her body was. She could feel the skin over her muscles streatch, muscles pulling against muscles, not working properly. She splashed around, looking or Coven. Something touched her waist, turning around she nodded to Coven and they slowly swam back to their home.
--/--
He looked at her in shock. "Don't be," He said. "Wasn't meant to be." Kel looked up in shock.
'' But you loved her.'' She protested. He shook is head.
"No, not really."
"But if what you and Yuki had wasn't love then what is?" She asked pittifully. She had thought that Neal and yuki really loved each other, they always smiled and exchanged private looks that meant gods know what to the rest of the world.
Neal was smiling, Kel could only look at him in deep confusion. "You want to know what love is?" He asked.
--/--
Naiya and Coven stumbled up the stairs, Coven leaning heavily on Naiya. He had channeled all of the magic through his body, and was now exausted. The storm was still spinning happily around in circles, going out to sea for more moisture and then back into the cove. It had long ago destroyed all of the enemy ships and was now happily destroying things. Wind blew at their bodies, ripping debri through their skin, Naiya wasn't sure if she could make it up the stairs.
As they reachec the top of the stairs Coven stumbled and fell into the water. Yelling in frustration Naiya ran out and got him. Grumbeling she pulled him out of the water as he looked at her in astonishment.
"What?" She asked as they walked back to the stairs.
"Naiya," He said timidly. "You're walking on the water." Naiya looked at her feet.
"Yes I suppose so."
--/--
Months later it was decided, Naiya and Coven would be given their title, Naiya of New Found Waters and Coven of Gods Pool. They would also be given the school in the cliffs (Naiya and Coven had yet to decide on a name for it, stubborn as they are). Both just nodded and smiled, not relishing all the court functions nobility meant they had to attend. As soon as all the other nobles left they both sank into chairs and groaned.
"This is absolutely wonderful." Naiya said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Coven nodded.
"I know, we get to pretend that we're nobles and we like to dress up fancy and dance, and pretend to like people we hate." He said, just as sarcastically.
"Ooh, and think of all the stuffy clothes we get to wear!" She yelled like an excited idiot.
"Ug, I have to wear one of those bow tie things." He said with a grimace.
"Be thankful they won't shove you into a corset." She said, and then they both laughed.
"Midwinter is in a week." He said suddenly. Naiya sat up straighter.
"What do you mean, a week?" she asked, her eye's looking like a vicious storm.
"It's in a week." He said.
She exhaled. "Well, we're not going this year." She said, smirking.
"Why not?" He asked, there was tons of food at midwinter festivals he'd heard.
"Well I certainly can't go. I can't be properly outfitted. You have to order dresses during midsummer to be guaranteed one for midwinter…" She babbled about dresses for a few minutes before Coven stood up and walked over to her. Looking down into her eye's it took her a moment to realize what he was doing. Slowly he eased his lips over hers before taking them away just as slowly.
"Naiya?" He asked.
"Yes?"
"Be quiet." He said before walking away. She sat there, stunned for a moment, before starting to yell at the top of her lungs.
"What was that?!" She yelled. "If you even for a moment begin to think that you can just waltz over here, kiss me, and then walk away you are highly mistaken!" She said and as he turned she saw something in his eyes, amusement for one, love which awakened something deep inside her and then something else, longing, which scare and excited her.
"Am I supposed to ask permission?" He asked coyly. Naiya grinned and stuck her nose in the air.
"Yes actually." She said before walking away. He came up behind her, placing warm hands on her hips.
"Well then, Milady of New Found Waters, would you mind so much if The Lord of God's Pool kissed you?" He whispered into her ear, she turned.
"I don't think that would be too much trouble." She said quietly, he grinned and kissed her again. They both smiled.
--/--
"Coven, " She asked, days later. "What do you suppose we do for the rest of our lives?"
"I dunno, whatever we feel like."
"Sounds like fun." She said.
"Probably."
