We were woken up the winged elf at the edge of the desert as we saw a large mountain, she called the storm spired and claimed it was the dragon queen's lair. When the elf girl asked for a tip. I checked my pocket to find a bath coupon Tamaki left me and then handed it to her and asked "do you know where anima city is? If you do, make it there you can trade this for a free hot bath." Then Rayla said, "the city is close border, and the baths are so nice." She said back to us "thank you and for your help I will tell you the air gets thin near the top of the pillar."

I knew I had to watch the group human army heading into Xadia and had to try and keep them away from Anima city the best I could. But during the stalking, I heard that Viren was the killer of the dragon king. He revealed he used all kinds of cursed ingredients to make a weapon to kill the dragon king. He said they head to the very place my friends were heading too now. He told the phantom being how he held the dragon king while the human king used the cursed spear to kill the king in stony death. The dark mage then said he was going after the egg of the dragon prince and help it until my friends helped him hatch.

it was as we made it to the next leg of our journey that we found the former dragon king dead in his stone prison and then after I told Callum it was the former king. He then told me, my stepfather had nothing but grief and regret for what he did. It was after that the moon phoenix landed with Ezran on its back. after the young boy returned, he revealed his reign didn't last very long. Then after that, the moon phoenix died and turned into ash. The Ezran told us that she will soon be reborn as the voice of Zangetsu said, "so it does work the same way."

As I watched the army get close to the border, I soon learned they had no way of crossing due to the castle being destroyed. But soon the female dark mage revealed she had a way to cross. the dark mage king used a strange horn to open a path in the lava as the army cheered and I just hoped they wouldn't find anima city.

It was after my brother played with his dragon friend, I talked about the dragon king with Rayla and about my complicated feelings about the king and his death. While the voice of Shirayuki said to me "your stepfather was blinded by grief, but you can't let the same cloud you as well. a balance must be forged. But to gain the power we need you must also break a balance within yourself. Your love will also need to do the same." Then Rayla broke me out of the darkness within and told me, they are the hope that could break this cycle of endless war and hate."

I watched as the human forced began to parade their way through, the dark-haired girl started to plunder the land. I soon learned their next target was the city of the sun fire elves. But only the dark mage king would go in. but I had the feeling that was a trap for the elves to spring. But I did see him set the trap with an ancient secret.

It was as we prepared ascend the lair of the queen, I wondered what it was like up there. It was as we kept going up my new boyfriend and I kept going up made jokes about the fact we were dating as we saw some runes over a gate that I read as prepare to draw your last breath. With that we wondered what it meant as the young boy looked down in our direction.

As the dark mage entered the chamber, he tried to negotiate but the queen didn't trust him and tried to put him to test with a strange light beam. The light then broke the magic the mage used to obscure himself and they prepared to do something else to him. it was then the queen began to confront the two brothers' deaf aunt as she warned the elf queen in sign language. Next the prepared the king for execution via sun magic. But as the light was about to hit the man strange magic came from his body and started to taint everything. Then out of said magic formed a ghostly elf that burned the queen. The dark mage king then returned to his army and used the now cursed sun power to convert his soldiers that wanted into strange sun fire berserkers. It was then I hurried to the storm pillar and I could prepare the guardians for the coming attack.

it was as we got higher up, the air got thin, and we kept getting tired. I wanted to stop but my brother knew we had to carry on. It was as we were struggling, the red dragon we saved a few days ago returned and offered us help via a rune. While I was struggling Shirayuki was trying to help me make a new spell via translating a style of magic I used to know into runic. But the rune the dragon gave us was able to help without needing to try and mix and match magics. I then cast said rune to help us regain the air and strength to carry on to the top. Then I ended up kissing Rayla to the surprise of my brother.

Chapter end
