Leaf watched Raistlin walk away towards the dumbfounded Raven steaming from losing her chance to cause emotional harm to Leaf by killing Rebecca. Leaf didn't care though anymore about what might've happened. Leaf was happy which she thought could never happen in this lifetime. She had family with her now she was no longer alone. She had someone who wanted her to still live, to laugh and to cry with her. She had never had that sort of relationship with anyone, possibly with Cleo. Her brother was here for her even though he was probably angry with her for being so stubborn. She never thought though that Iatric would be her brother, they seemed so different and her mother hadn't said anything to her when she saw her with the other guardians. She didn't care they didn't matter. Smiling she hugged her brother harder and laughed as he gasped for breath when she released him.

"Why couldn't you just tell me that you were my brother from the beginning?" Leaf asked glaring at him playfully, "You know you did look familiar when I first met you. Now I know why, you look like the memories of our father."

"Yeah mom used to say that." Iatric said smiling down at her, "Reason I couldn't tell you was cause I felt it was wrong too. I had no right in being your family, I had left you and mom and dad when you could have used me the most. Especially you Leaf. Because I left you were forced to forget everything. All our happy moments in life together, well not us exactly, but dad and mom it must've hurt a lot to find out that your whole life was a sham like that."

"It did hurt me at first I won't lie about that. But then I thought about and realized, I didn't care." Leaf whispered looking away from Iatric.

"What?" Iatric exclaimed looking strangely at her, "Are you kidding me?"

"No I was happy to find out that my family wasn't those at the Tower of Suns. That they were nothing but foster parents." Leaf replied calmly, "Anyways I was alone, I've always been alone so it didn't bother me that I was forced to forget my real family. Don't worry about it everything is fine now. Watch over Rebecca for me while I fight. If I do die please get her out of here."

"No!" Rebecca protested running to clutch at Leaf's right arm, "I won't leave without you! I won't you can't make me!"

"Rebecca you have to go not for me not even for yourself," Leaf began tears in her eyes as she bent down to Rebecca, "But for Cleo, and Diane, and Josh. Those three who so wanted you to be free, to go and play with dolls and other little girls."

"But what about you?" she said her eyes full of tears as well, "You'll be all alone."

"Come on remember that cheerful side of death I told you about." Leaf stated smiling at Rebecca, "I'll meet everyone in death, and I'll even see Cleo and all the others again. All of us will be smiling and having fun with everyone cause I gave my life for you Rebecca. I'll be having more fun when I know that you're living your life with joy and not with sadness."

Rebecca couldn't find the words to say to Leaf all she could do was smile and nod as she hugged Leaf hard. Tears falling from her eyes she hugged Rebecca hard and told her everything would be fine. She'd beat Raven and they'd all go and live in Solace together and leave behind this horrid nightmare. They'd be like a family and go to that famous inn for some spiced potatoes. Leaf finally broke away from the little girl loath to leave her. She brushed Rebecca's tears away and smiled one last time as she stood up.

"You'll take care of her won't you Iatric?" Leaf asked needing at least some reassurance that if she failed they would live.

"Don't talk like that Leaf your stronger then that woman over their you'll beat her and we'll all get out of here with no problems at all." Iatric replied forcing a smile for her, "So go and beat her for all the other Solana that died by her hands."

"Iatric." Leaf whispered.

"Go Leaf we'll be cheering you on!" Iatric said tears in his eyes.

Leaf nodded and walked towards the center where they awaited her. Towards where Raven stood waiting impatiently for Leaf, taking one final look at her brother and Rebecca she felt new energy flow through her as she remembered some old sayings. Knowledge is only potential in the beginning but can be crafted into so much more. She had that knowledge, now was the time to put it to the right use as she defended those she loved. Silently wishing that Cleo were here she continued to walk towards Raven her face a mask of all her emotions that had gone on. Her sadness, her anger, her pain, and most importantly her love all showing on her face. She was no longer afraid to show them those emotions. They couldn't harm her anymore then they already had. Everything that she had was gone but she still had one thing left: she still had people to protect. Rebecca and Iatric meant the world to her, more then her own life.

Standing across from Raven, Dalamar between them she couldn't help but look at Dalamar. He was actually staring at her, which she was taken aback at first but soon regained control of herself. It was no surprise that he would look at her. After all they had gone through now they were simply enemies and she swore that he would get his.

"Enjoy the show Dalamar," she whispered her voice expressing her pain, "Just like old times, always two women having to fight it out for the pleasure of men."

"You can't get me with your words anymore Leaf," he stated his voice articulated in anger like she'd never felt before, "If you by some fluke survive Raven's onslaught I'll take you down myself. Old friends or not doesn't matter to me anymore."

"Dalamar even if Raistlin helped you I would still make sure to kill you before the breath of me left this body forever." Leaf swore her eyes showing nothing of what she really felt.

She didn't want to kill him. Believe it or not Leaf still considered him a friend. Someone she had gone to in the past for comfort when she had no one else. Back then she did have no one else. Now though that was different. She had family and she wouldn't lose that.

"Begin the fight already Dalamar!" Raistlin snapped from where he sat.

He was irritable which was quite funny to Leaf. He wanted this to end with no more problems. He wanted her dead and all the others gone with her. She wouldn't let that happen not after all she'd gone through.

Dalamar nodded and left the center as he took the last step over the circle Raven and her were left to finally finish what they had started over 7 years ago. This time Leaf wouldn't be merciful this time she would be just as brutal as Raven was to her those many years ago.

"Well Leaf lets see if you know what your doing?" Raven stated her blades coming quickly to her hands, "I've had much practice."

"Yeah killing old people and children much practice." Leaf scoffed trying to think quickly of what weapon she could summon.

She didn't have any weapons, and even if she did she wouldn't know how to use them Raven knew all this about her. Leaf wasn't much of a challenge for Raven and everyone but Iatric and Rebecca knew this. They were counting on her.

Leaf had no more time to think as Raven kicked her propelling her across the floor. Staggering up Leaf struggled to fight against the scream not only had she kicked hard she'd used her magical talent to make her stronger. Her magic was based primarily on aiding her in her physical combat skills. Leaf had nothing like that to aid her; she didn't even have the privilege of being able to fight with a weapon. Raven quick to action ran towards Leaf kicking and punching her from all sides. Leaf was propelled back and forth across the hall. Exhausted and in pain she always struggled to get up only to have Raven kick her back down. She had cuts and bruises and she think that Raven might've broken a few ribs at the same time.

She had to think strategically about this, she had no weapon and no real fighting experience. How was she going to win this fight? Who's dumb idea had this been anyways? Oh right Iatric had suggested it. Rolling her eyes she looked for Raven but was a bit shocked to find that she was gone. Turning around and looking for her vainly she realized that the woman had turned herself invisible. Or simply was just playing hide and seek with her, she hated this game when she was four and she still hated it. The silence and the alertness were wearing her nerves down till finally Raven attacked from above which really amazed her. Her intricate blade pierced Leaf's flesh blood spattering everywhere. Gritting her teeth she tried dislodging the blade only furthering her pain in the process. Raven jumped over Leaf and stood about three to four feet from the bleeding woman. Raven laughed as she watched Leaf struggle with the blade. Leaf knew that the blade was enchanted to only be pulled out by its owner and that owner was now laughing hysterically as her opponent struggled with the blade. In the end Leaf wasn't able to get out Raven waved her hand and the blade wrenched itself from Leaf's shoulder blade crunching on the bone as it left her flesh. All she could do was grit her teeth more and quickly with one look see if the wound was bad, it wasn't but it still burned with the pain. Heaving a huge breath she narrowed her eyes at Raven, if she continued to fight like this she wasn't going to win she was certainly going to die. Leaf watched intently the movements of Raven till she disappeared again.

"Damn it!" Leaf hissed looking savagely around the area.

She had to calm herself, no one could fully go invisible not without leaving some that they were still alive and breathing! That was it elf's had impeccable hearing. She closed her eyes and concentrating hard on the sound of breathing. She was startled that she could also sense auras. She saw Rebecca and Iatric's auras behind her wavering as they worried about her. Then she could also see Raistlin's and Dalamar's, which weren't wavering, at all they were constant as though they had their auras under control. The auras were the magic she was sensing! Raistlin and Dalamar had there's under control cause they were taught that but Rebecca and Iatric were inept compared to them. Grinning wickedly she looked for Ravens, she concentrated her whole effort on finding her. Suddenly it came to her, Raven was standing right in front of her ready to stab her in the gut. Quickly her eyes snapped open and remembering the scene of Cleo. Leaf punched Raven her hand enveloped in flames, she punched as hard as she could right in Raven's face. Her invisibility spell gone she was visible to all. Everyone was shocked that Leaf had hit Raven, even Dalamar and Raistlin were shocked, they had probably believed that she couldn't learn that quickly especially during a battle.

Leaf felt power course through her body, she could feel magic bubbling beneath her skin anxious to be released on the woman in front of her. Still grinning she thought quickly of a suitable weapon anything to help her in this battle. Materializing right beside her was a staff of flawless beauty. She sensed something familiar about it but wasn't able to concentrate on it at the moment. Grabbing it she swung it hitting Raven in the face making her fall to the floor the blades falling from her numb hands.

Leaf's clothes changed as she walked closer to Raven. Instead of the old drab rags she had been wearing they turned in to glistening velvet black pants with a tight short-sleeved red shirt, which also suited to protect her from stabs in the chest. Leaf was astonished by this change and continuing to walk towards Raven wasn't surprised at all to see on Raven's once smug face fear. She was happy that she was able to see that, more so then anyone would have thought.

"This is where it ends Raven you die today but not in a way you would think so." Leaf whispered her voice soft and yet still stern, "You don't go to the god of death today you on the other hand I will personally send to the Abyss itself, I hear its quite painful. Enjoy you eternal torment cause I will not stand for you to live in this world any longer."

"Please Leaf be merciful you once showed me mercy please show it again!" Raven pleaded with Leaf, "I'll change this time I really mean it!"

Leaf wouldn't listen to Raven's lies anymore she shook her head and muttering what she only assumed was a spell sent Raven body and soul to the Abyss. A brilliant flash of white occurred and standing in Raven's spot was an old stooped wizard in gray robes. Leaf was a little shocked to see this man. Who was he and what did he want? She studied him and saw that he had pure blue eyes with white hair topped with an old wizard hat. She had seen this man before, but where?

"Oh my look at the mess they've made you out to be now." The man whispered shaking his head in amazement, "I can't believe you can stand all that pain right now my dear child."

"Fizban!" Raistlin shouted his voice actually sounding scared.

Leaf looked to Raistlin and saw that the man's face was strained and conflicted. He hated this Fizban but yet he was afraid of him at the same time. Leaf found this interesting but still couldn't dissuade the thought that this man was someone she had meant before. Then it hit her, she had seen him but that was back when she was still a princess in Qualinesti. He had been with Raistlin and the rest of the companion.

"Yes Raistlin I'm here no don't bother getting up there is no need you need to return your Tower in Palanthas." Fizban said smiling at Raistlin he waved his arm and him and Dalamar disappeared. Leaf was astonished and couldn't help but stare at the old man turning to her she put the staff up defensively, "Now come now were not going to have to fight are we? Cause really I'm not in the mood I came here to just speak with you."

"Who are you?" Leaf asked not backing down from him. She was afraid of him she wouldn't lie about that but she still would defend herself as much as she could.

"You may know me as Paladine or any other name the races call me. Yes I do not kid you or lie to you." He smiled and taking her by the arm led her other to where Iatric and Rebecca stood, "You know I've searched wide and far for you. I can't believe how much trouble you caused while you were down here, I say now you really shouldn't take after that confounded Bast. He's nothing but a nuisance."

"What are you talking about?" Leaf asked confused out of her mind, "I have no idea who Bast is and I certainly didn't plan on being a nuisance as you say!"

"Of course you made sure that you wouldn't remember or should I say that Iatric made sure you wouldn't." Paladine's gaze fell on Iatric as they all sat down on the bench.

"What are you talking about?" Iatric repeated, "I didn't do anything to Leaf, okay sure I left when I shouldn't of but I'm trying to fix that!"

"No your trying to make sure that none of us gods especially Bast finds out what you did to Leaf here." He said actually glaring at Iatric, "I don't care how much I have to torture you to get the old Leaf back but right now your going to take the entire spell of! You already see that she's starting to come back after all look her clothes changed and she was able to see auras during that battle. No elf or any other race can see auras only a select few can and Leaf is one of them."

"A select few?" Leaf asked trying to keep up with the conversation.

"In simple terms demi-gods or in your case goddess." He said laying a comforting hand on hers which was blood stained, "I told you it was dangerous to bathe in Crystalmire Lake without your deflection on, you know that well you did know that."

"This is so confusing." She muttered shaking her head, "Iatric is it true?"

"Of course it is!" Paladine snapped, "What you won't believe a god?"

"I wasn't asking you sir or whatever you want me to call you I was asking Iatric," Leaf retaliated back, "I need to hear it from him."

They sat there watching him all of them Rebecca included. She was aghast that he would do something like. Leaf couldn't help but a part of her did believe Paladine, after all he was a god and what do they gain from lying to mortals. Nothing at all. Finally Iatric could only find himself to nod his head.

"What?" Leaf whispered her eyes widening with such sorrow, "You mean you lied to me, that's why I hated Raistlin he lied to me. Now you too." She choked up and wiped away the tears in her eyes, "This means that you're not my brother. So who are you?"

"I'll just restore your memories." Iatric muttered lamely, "Useless to try and tell you when there's an easier way to do it. I am sorry Leaf."

"What?" Leaf said confused and startled by this revelation.

Putting his hand over her eyes he muttered something and in a flash of white light Leaf saw everything. She saw herself bathing in a lake, the cool water caressing her naked skin. She saw Iatric watch her, she saw her and him talk then she saw his betrayal of her. Screaming she pushed away from them all. Everything that she knew now was the whole truth nothing was left out. It all made sense why so many people had wanted to use her. Raistlin had wanted to use her to get to the Abyss to destroy the Dark Queen. Iatric had wanted to use her for her shape shifting abilities. At the moment her identity was that of Iatric's younger dead sister.

"I can't believe it." Leaf muttered her knees gave out and she fell to the floor, "Paladine I didn't mean for any of this to happen you have to believe me. I was sure that I could trust him but he had cloaked his thoughts with other ones. Ones that I could trust. I'm so sorry!"

Shaking she curled down and cried into her hands. Shaking more she felt a soft hand on her shoulder. She felt his healing touch envelop her body healing all her wounds from her fight with Raven. Where she was hurt inside though he could not work his magic she looked up at him and saw that Paladine wasn't mad with her at all. On the contrary he was elated that she was okay, he hadn't cared how much trouble she'd caused only that she was okay and that's all that mattered. Smiling at her he picked her easily up and taking her turn to the others in the room.

"You hid Leaf from me but she's safely returned. You have no idea how relieved I am at that." Paladine whispered his voice so full of happiness, "I'm afraid though that she'll never be returning to this world. I won't let this happen again her and the other demi-gods are all returning to their plane of existence."

"No!" Rebecca shouted, "You can't take Leaf I have no one else."

Leaf looked down at Rebecca and sighing whispered, "Rebecca I'm sorry I have to go I can't disobey Paladine if I do I'm going to have every other god after me. They won't force me to go they'll just kill me and if I live in my plane with the others I can still help you from their. Just remember to look up in the sky and when you see a star twinkle that'll be me sending you the comfort you need."

"What about all that you and the other demi-gods do here on Krynn?" Iatric asked quietly trying to avoid making Paladine angry any more, "You do things down here for us that otherwise we wouldn't be. What then?"

"Everything that we protect and nourish will have the restrictions and the problems with it removed. So where Bast resides the Dark Queen won't be able to come through there so its safe there. Other areas will be kind of the same. Don't worry." Leaf said her eyes beginning to become weary, "I'm sorry that I have to leave you all, even you Iatric but I hope what little joy I gave you by pretending to be your sister helped you. Even though you left me with no memory no anything of who I really was."

"Sorry Leaf just it's you knows hard when you lose someone you love." Iatric mumbled.

"I know that now but then I didn't understand your pain now I do. Why do you think I haven't tried killing you yet?" Leaf said smiling at them, "Take care of each other be the family that neither of you really had. Go and live in Solace and be happy and always remember that I'm out there and I'll try and visit if I'm allowed that is."

"We'll talk about it," Paladine muttered rolling his eyes, "we have to go now farewell to you all."

Paladine began disappearing Leaf in his arms also. Waving goodbye to them she wished for just one day in the future when Rebecca really needed her that she could come back and be there for her. Hopefully that day would come and when it did Leaf would be able to proudly say who she was, not entirely allowed to tell everyone what she was. Though she could find loop holds for that rule. Smiling Leaf and Paladine returned to their plane of existence. Leaf living with the rest of the demi-gods and Paladine with the other gods. Leaf knew that she probably wouldn't be allowed back on Krynn but she would keep true to her word and would always be there in the sky for Rebecca when she needed her.

"Come on Rebecca lets get out of here." Iatric whispered brushing away his tears.

"Iatric can…can I…I mean only if you want me to…. you know…" Rebecca said blushing as she tried to find the words.

"What?" Iatric said looking at her.

"Call you daddy?" Rebecca asked looking down at her feet.

Iatric picked her up and holding her just like Paladine had done with Leaf smiled and replied to her, "Of course I wouldn't have it any other way Rebecca. Now lets get going to Solace, we'll have fun there I'll learn to do something there so we'll have money."

"Alright daddy." Rebecca whispered wrapping her arms around him her head nuzzling his chest.

They had lost Leaf but they could still have a family which is what Leaf had always wanted while she'd been here. They did have a family; Iatric remarried and had two other children for Rebecca to play with. Though they would get lonely when they would remember what they had gone through they'd always remember to look up at the sky and see a star near the red one of the dwarves god just twinkle for them. They weren't alone in the world even if sometimes they did feel that way. Iatric and Rebecca had some goddess's care from above.

One night as Rebecca looked up at the sky no problems on her mindshe justsimply smiled seeing that speical star twinkle for her and whispering to Leaf, "Thank you for everything, I'm sure you're with Cleo right now laughing and having fun as always Leaf."

Falling quickly to sleep as she laid her head down on her pillow she distinctly could hear as the nights darkness wrapped around her she heard Cleo sing. Singing that song that she loved deeply.

Wishing on a dream that seems so far off

Hoping it will come today

Into the starlit night

Foolish dreamers turn their gaze waiting on a shooting star

But what if that star is not to come will their dreams fade to nothing

When the horizon darkens most we all need to believe there is hope

Isn't nature watching closely over me can there be a guiding light I get to see?

I know my heart should guide me by theirs a hole within my soul

What fill this emptiness inside of me?

Am I to be satisfied without knowing?

I wish then for a chance to see, now all I need (desperately) is my star to come…

Kilyn Bloodstone talking: Alright I know it took forever to get this chapter up but I was debating whether I should or shouldn't end it. Well it's gone on for long enough so I ended the story. Maybe I'll write another one where Leaf comes back but only to find trouble where she was supposed to be guarding or something…I have no idea. I'm sleepy right now as I'm writing this. Okay so anyone who has complaints about this meh tells me and I'll remember for when I write something else.

Right almost forgot I do not own anything of Dragonlance at all! I do however own the characters that you do not recognize in this story, so like Diane, Cleo, Josh, Iatric, Gabriel, and Leaf I think that's all of them.

Yeah so hope you all enjoyed the journey that Leaf had to take to find out who she is, and in her case what she is. I'm tired so I bid you all goodnight and seeing how its around the Christmas time I wish you all a Happy Christmas!
