A/N: I'm really sorry for how long it's been since I've last updated.... and although (unfortunately), I still haven't finished the next chapter, I thought it would only be fair if I posted SOMETHING for you guys to read. I know a lot of people have been anxiously asking about the final battle (which will undoutedly occur between Harry/Sebastien and Voldemort.) Below, I've pasted a teaser from that scene to keep you reading, so to say. Anyhow, here it is:

----------Section from Final Battle-----------------------

Voldemort's eyes glowed. "You are a fool to oppose me. With Potter dead, there is no hope for the Light."

With Potter dead, there is no hope for the Light.

The words echoed in his mind, over and over, and suddenly, Harry realized the truth in that statement. Until now, he had believed Dumbledore to be the main... defendor, so to say, for the Light. It was only now that he realized how much hope and belief had lain on his shoulders. As much as he loved the Headmaster, he had to admit: the man was old. And although he hated the thought, he knew in the bottom of his heart that Dumbledore didn't have long left. Perhaps a decade or so at the most. Tom, on the other hand, had many years yet to come.

In that split second, he made the decision: Harry Potter had to come back. It was his duty to do it for the sake of the Wizarding world, and as much as he hated his role as the Boy-Who-Lived, it was a part of him, just like everything else. And as the claimer of that title, he had to keep living. And there was only one way to do so.

In the depth of his mind, he called to Lady Lyra for support. There was only one way.

Harry Potter had to come back.
