Sorry. There seems to be a bit of a mix-up on the chapters. You see, on the last chapter, when I said that Chapter 12 was the last one, I meant the chapters in my story and not the amount of chapters my story has, So sorry, again. This is the last chapter of my story. Enjoy!

Chapter: 12

Shonen was already at the shoreline. The baby dragon from before followed her. "Hey there, Kikakumei!" Shonen said, petting the baby dragon. "Kikakumei, you wanna come with me? I'm leaving." She asked. Kikakumei nodded happily. "Okay, but I need a ride. You see, I'm pretty tired from flying the last few days, so you think you can provide transportation for a while?" Kikakumei just nodded some more. "Alright! Kikakumei, turn full dragon and let's go!"

Kikakumei started glowing brightly. She suddenly grew bigger and bigger. Seconds later, she transformed into an adult dragon. Shonen jumped onto her back. "Goodbye, everyone." She said softly. Kikakumei started flapping her wings, but before they could leave, Zuko and Kitten came in. Kitten called to her. "Shonen! Wait! Don't leave yet! Me and Zuko had a talk!" Shonen jumped off to listen. "Sweetie, I guess banished for life is a little too harsh." She said. "So I'm going to bend the rules a little. You can visit us only on the Year of the Dragon. Not only that, while you're out, you can stay with Zuko. Shonen started crying. Then she hugged Kitten. "Oh, thank you, mother!" She said, happily. Kitten hugged her, too.

Hours later, Shonen was aboard Zuko's ship. They were already sailing into the ocean. She could see her mother and brothers waving from a distance. A few moments later, her mother yelled to her. "HONEY! Shonen answered. "YEAH, MOM?"

"I EXPECT AT LEAST TWO GRANDKIDS ON YOUR NEXT VISIT!"

"MOM, QUIT IT! YOU'RE EMBARRASING ME AND ZUKO!"

Kitten started waving again. Then Shonen just waved back. As they sailed away, the fog began to roll in. In just seconds, it seemed as if the island was never there.

It was nighttime now. After dinner, Shonen walked out to the deck. She stared up to the stars. Zuko walked to her. "Homesick?" He asked. She shook her head. "No." She answered. "I just got a hunch."

"Really? About what?"

"I don't know. It feels as if my banishment has been planned or something."

"It didn't seem like it."

"You now, when I was a kid, I read the royal protocol over a hundred times, and I don't remember my father putting a law that says if you kill a family member, you'll get banished."

"That is strange. Maybe it was passed recently."

"Could be."

Back in the palace, Kitten was talking to Yin and Yang. "Are you sure banishing her was the right thing?" She asked. "Yes, mother." They answered. "We have predicted something very terrible outside the boundaries. Shonen will be much needed out there than in here. And you know she cannot leave the palace unless she is banished."

"I suppose, but what will happen outside, my sons."

"It is obvious that Shonen killed Okkataru."

"Yes."

"And the world has two halves, the dark and light, the Yin and Yang."

"Yes, please get on with it."

"Alright, when Shonen killed Okkataru, she killed part of the darkness. The world is partially imbalanced. She has also created a void in which something more evil than Okkataru will take his place, and that new evil will emerge from outside. So her banishment was important."

"I see, so when Shonen ended Okkataru's destruction, she just started something else."

"Yes. This isn't the end, mother, it is just the beginning."

The End?
