Author's Notes: Thanks for your reviews.

TheChosenOne3, definitely me! The Plateau is a sweet angel compared to me.Don't you think that just because you guys don't like Gaalad I'm going to stop using his character, no way, in fact I already have his destiny traced.

Dreama, thanks for calling me a great writer, although I totally disagree with you, at least I know that you have a good intention.

SierraSunshine, how bossy of you.No wonder you wanna take over the world.

A.Windsor, I'm glad that you approve all of my chapters until now, keep reading and review.

Alesig

"The Loion Oasis" Veronica announced as they entered the deep forest.

"Finally! I thought that we would get here! I'm tired of walking trough that bloody icy ground." Complained Marguerite

"How much farther old boy?" asked Challenger

"About a day walk or so"

"What?! Oh." Marguerite whined

"Maybe we should camp for the night." Malone suggested

"Yes, good idea, we won't make that much progress anyway, it's getting dark." Roxton said

....................................

"Okay so whose turn to cook is? I'm starved." exclaimed Finn

"Marguerite's" Answered Challenger

"You know, on second though, maybe I'm not that hungry."

The group laughed.

"Maybe Veronica should help; after all we don't want to get sick.." Malone said

"Very funny Malone" Marguerite said rather sarcastically, "But you know, I was the one who prepared the coffee that you drinking...oh and by the way I hope you don't mind..I putted a slight amount of dirt on it."

Malone immediately spitted all the coffee that he had on his mouth and Marguerite laughed really hard.

"I was only joking." She manage to say trough her laugh

....................................

"So I guess we're cousins..." Veronica said when both Marguerite and she were preparing dinner

"I guess we are."

"You sound upset about it." She realized

"No, not upset, just sad, after all..I never had much of family..and now that I finally have one..I wish I didn't." Marguerite said near tears

"Why? You found what you were looking for, a name.."

"Yeah...but I also found that I've lived a lie all my life, I could have had a better life, one where there was no husbands, no disappointments.." She trailed of realizing that she was saying too much. "I could have been very happy. But now both my parent's are death."

"I know what it feels like to loose your parents." Veronica said sympathetically, "Don't worry you'll live trough that, and who knows, if one day you have children, at least you know you won't do the same thing to them."

Marguerite smiled not bothering to say that children weren't exactly on her plans. Children. She smiled again at the thought of it, "Who knows what the future may bring." She thought eyeing Roxton and thinking what a wonderful father he would become some day. Not that she would ever tell him, but secretly she hoped that one day he would be the father of her own children.

....................................

At first light they left.

....................................

"That's it!" Marguerite cried out "How much farther?"

"We're getting close." Answered Roxton

"I don't want to upset you or something but you said that an hour ago." Said Finn

Roxton looked to his companions, and kept walking.

"It's right over there."

They walked a few more minutes until the temple came in to view.

"It's huge." Veronica exclaimed

The temple view from the outside was indeed enormous; the columns that supported the weight of the roof of the entrance were surrounded by wild vines full of red roses. The temple seemed like a vision from a dream.

"Let's go." Challenger commanded

They walked towards the entrance, but once they got there they heard the sound of horses and men.

"What's that?" Finn asked

"It sounds like..horses." Roxton answered

"I see them..." Malone said "They're thousands."

"Kartwar. He's coming, it's him." Marguerite explained

In that moment from the Temple came out druids.

"My lady, "One of them said, "Kartwar is going to attack us."

"We know that. What do we do?" Challenger asked

"You? You run, you can't stay here, leave them to us..."

"Nonsense, we'll help you." Roxton interrupted

"John I don't know if that's such a good idea." Marguerite said as she saw the army coming in their direction.

Thousands and thousands of men marched towards the temple with swords on their hands.

"At my command you attack." Roxton instructed, and then he looked to a druid, "Take Morrighan inside."

"What? What the Hell do you think you're doing? I'm not going anywhere. You can't give me orders I.." Roxton gave a gentle and yet passionate kiss to quiet her down.

"Go."

The druid took Marguerite by the arm inside the Temple.

"Any ideas George?" asked Roxton with his rifle ready and aimed towards the enemy.

"Sorry old boy, fresh out."

The army march was getting closer and closer.

"Steady." Roxton shouted. The men were ready to attack." Steady." Only a few passes separated them. "Now!"

The explorers started to shoot and immediately a few men fell to the ground. The army finally got closer enough and the real battle begun.

"We have to help them. I can't stay here and just watch." Marguerite said as she saw the battle. She ran towards the entrance and got out in time to see one of the worst things she ever saw.

Roxton had grabbed a sword from on of the dead enemy's bodies and started to fight against another man, but from behind an enemy stabbed him on his back.

"NOOO" Marguerite screamed

Soon Marguerite was next to Roxton.

"You idiot! Now her power will be unleashed" she heard a man say.

The explorers looked to where the voice came.

"Kartwar!" The druids exclaimed

Challenger looked to the man and realized that he remained him of someone, and he was not the only one to think that way, the others also realized that.

The battle continued thought, and Kartwar was visibly winning.

Marguerite held Roxton's body.

"Don't you dare dying on me now." She said trough tears.

He tried to speak but no sound came from his mouth.

When she saw him like this she couldn't take it anymore. She let him go and stood up.

A sudden wind came over, getting stronger and stronger at every second. Marguerite's eyes were lifeless and her look was blank, without emotions. She opened her mouth and scream was heard.

The enemy begun to step back fear was written in the men's eyes.

From the earth men and creatures started to emerge, and one by one Kartwar's men were killed or taken.

Kartwar saw this and looked to Marguerite.

"You won't get away with this, I'll be back, mark my words."

When Kartwar and what was left of his grand army left, Marguerite fainted.

....................................

She woke up with the sound of voices calling her name.

"Marguerite?" Veronica tried again. Marguerite slowly opened her eyes. "Hi there"

"Hi.." Marguerite answered

"How are you feeling?" Finn asked

"Fine...Where's Roxton?"

"Right here."

She looked up to the man she loved.

"You alive!" she said" How.?"

"The druids and Challenger took great care of him." Veronica explained

"How long was I.?"

"Out?" Roxton smiled, "Two weeks."

Marguerite's eyes widened

....................................

Marguerite putted her pendant on its place and Bochra appeared.

"Morrighan."he said "It is a great joy to know that you're alive and well."

"Are you..." Malone started

"Dead? No. I'm well alive, it is just my image that you're seeing, I was once the leader of this temple, but I was obligated to leave."

He came near Marguerite and touched her pendant that started to glow immediately.

"I gave you the location of the next temple. Now leave, we can't afford ourselves to waste time." And with that he was gone.

....................................

They were joined by a Druid that insisted to accompany them. They didn't mind because after all he could give them information of what was to come.

"Marguerite, what's the next temple?" asked Malone

"The Kitilla Temple, in the Deevon's Desert." She told them

....................................

By night they camped near a lake.

"I'm going for a swim." Marguerite said

"Not alone you won't." Marguerite smiled to Roxton in response

They reached the lake a few minutes later.

"Turn around!" Marguerite ordered.

"Do I have to?!"

"Roxton!" Marguerite warned

"Alright I promise not to peek." He said as he crossed his fingers behind his back

She undressed and her blouse and skirt and entered the cool water.

Roxton turned around and saw her, immediately he took of his hat and boots and entered the water too.

"What are you doing?" Marguerite asked

"What does it look? I'm taking a swim in a lake, and right now I'm looking to the most beautiful woman that I ever saw in my entire life." He answered

Marguerite blushed a little by his words.

"Why Lord Roxton, I did not meant that. Who's going to take watch now that you're here?" she asked teasing him

He came closer to her.

"I don't know, but I think that's not important right now."

He grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately and she responded equally. She putted her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. When they broke apart they were both smiling.

"I love you." She said

"I love you too."

"Hmm.How much do you love me?" she asked

"This much." He said as pulled her to another breathless kiss, "And the enough to give my own life for yours." He said as he kissed her again gently this time.

"Is that why you did it?"

"What?"

"That thing back in the temple, sending me away and getting hurt.." She sobbed

"Shhh, it's alright, I'm here." He stroked her hair as she cried against his chest.

When her sobs stopped, she looked up and met his eyes.

"Don't ever do that again, you hear me? I can't loose you." She said

"You won't, I guess that you're stuck with me forever." He teased

"Forever?"

"Forever" he said and kissed her once again.

.......................................

Challenger, the druid and Veronica were sitting by the fire while Ned and Finn checked the perimeter just to make sure that nothing would surprise them.

"Mr. Meldron?" Veronica said

"Please Meldron."

"Alright." She smiled to the old man" Meldron, I was wondering if you could tell me...about Morrighan's powers."

"What do you won't to know?"

"What did she do back in the temple?"

"She called the black shadows of the dead."

"You mean..she resurrected the dead?" Challenger asked not believing in his ears.

"Yes, basically is that."

"How?" asked Veronica

"Only she knows how, but that sort of things are not very common, she is more powerful then we thought.."

"How so?"

"Well professor, call the dead, requires a hard train and as far as I know she did not had one." Meldron explained

"But she brought Ned.." Veronica started

"He was dead?" Meldron asked eyes wide open

"More or less, he was trapped in spirit world."

"Than I'm right, she is more powerful than we thought, if Ned Malone was in the Spirit world than he must have been trapped all together with Saaros, and he's one of the most powerful Kartwar's demons."

....................................

"Ned?"

"I'm here Finn."

"What happened?" she asked

"I'm sorry; I just had a vision.."

"What vision?"

"Of Kartwar.he makes me remember someone."

"Yeah me too, oddly he makes me remember Roxton you know. I don't know why, but he really does. So what was your vision about?"

"Nothing special, I just Kartwar laughing and laughing."

"Creepy."

"Come on let's go back to the camp."

....................................

Marguerite was having another nightmare. But this time it felt more real.

She saw Avalon's palace totally destroyed and she saw Gaalad laughing while killing Roxton. Then she ran to her love and felt the last breath coming from his mouth.

Then all she heard was: "You'll be next!"

She woke up and snuggled more into Roxton's embrace. She wouldn't let that happen, never.
