I then woke up, and I still felt pain. I wish i could heal myself, but my hands are tied. I then saw Draven come out of the necklace. "Draven, what are you doing?", I asked in surprised confusion.
"Helping you free your hands.", Draven said with a smile as he then placed his hands on mine, and he used a spell which made the metal disintegrate. I then smiled in relief as I then used a spell to heal myself, and I then stood up.
"Now, how am I going to explain to everyone that I can walk just fine?", I muttered to myself as Draven then went back inside the necklace. I then heard the door break down, and I saw that it was Bronx as I heard some noise coming from upstairs.
"I bet it's Goliath, isn't it Bronx?" I said to the dog with a grin, and Bronx barked affirmatively as he then tore open the cage, and I then got out. "Good boy, Bronx", I complimented Bronx as I petted his head warmly. He then took me upstairs, and I saw that the whole place was on fire. Then I saw Goliath fighting Macbeth, but Macbeth took off.
"Sally!", Goliath shouted in relief when he saw me. I noticed that the fire was blocking his path, so I then used a spell to summon water, and I was able to put out the fire to allow Goliath to cross over. "Let's go.", I said, and we ran out. The three of us saw that the castle collapsed as it was burning down, and I sighed lightly.
"Sally, are you okay?", Goliath asked in concern. "I'm fine, thanks to you and Bronx." I said, then Goliath hugged me. "Goliath?", I asked softly.
"I never thought I'd have a magical human mate, but anything is possible. Hudson was right.". He rumbled softly. "What are you saying, Goliath?", I asked in amazement and shock as he pulled back, looking at me with this look I dreamed of, and now he's actually looking at me like...he loves me.
"Sally, you knew where I belonged, and of my past, but you didn't care as you have protected me, saved my life, cared for me. I have realized of today that I truly love you, Sally Leindres.". He smiled lovingly as he rumbled gently.
I can't believe it! He loves me! Goliath tipped my chin upward to face him, and he then kissed me! I closed my eyes as I wrapped my hands around Goliath's neck. We were passionately kissing for the next minute until we separated for air, and I felt Goliath lean his forehead on mine.
I exhaled softly, looking at him as I felt Goliath hold me up slightly higher as he's a tad taller than me. He smiled warmly, and I chuckled lightly as I played with his hair gently. "I've been wanting to do that for a while." Goliath told me lovingly. "Me too.", I smiled widely, and then I sensed Draven.
I'm happy for you, Sally. Draven said to me, sounding blissfully proud, and we then heard Bronx bark. "I think it's time to head home. Do you want me to carry you?", Goliath asked with a shy smile.
"Yes, please." I held into Goliath a bit tighter as I then used my telekinesis to make Bronx fly alongside us, and we then glided above and through New York.
"Goliath!" Goliath stopped to see that Elisa, my sister, and the clan were on the very same building where I and Elisa spoke with Goliath the second night. Goliath then flew over to the building, and he then put me down gently.
"What are you doing here? Why aren't you guarding our home?", Goliath asked, looking a bit frustrated and mad. "You don't live there anymore.", Elisa said with her arms crossed. I could see Goliath now looking really pissed off.
"What!?" Goliath snarled angrily. "I and Morgan found you a new home.", Elisa said, glaring at Goliath. "How dare you?! l told you that castle is our home!", Goliath snarled.
"No, Goliath. She's right. It's suicide to stay there. Home is more than that, Goliath. Home is the six of us. Wherever we can be together and safe, that's our home.", Hudson said sternly as the others approached him. Goliath then roared out in anger, and the others backed away nervously.
"Goliath?", I asked him worriedly as he stared back at the castle, then smiled at me weakly with a tender look in his eyes. "Give me a minute.", Goliath growled lightly before he flew off, and Elisa then approached me.
"Sally, why are you so happy?", Elisa asked me as I blushed, and then I explained to everyone about how Goliath and I were now a couple. "No way!", Morgan squealed lightly in amazement, but she was happy for me.
"I'm so happy for you!", Elisa exclaimed happily, hugging me. "That's amazing! You are perfect for him!". Broadway cheered as he and the others then surrounded me happily.
"That's awesome news!", Brooklyn congratulated me excitedly. "About time, lass. It was obvious that you have feelings for each other.", Hudson smirked softly.
"It's incredible! Being the first human and Gargoyle couple in forever!". Lexington commented warmly. I blushed brightly in embarrassment and happiness.
I saw that Goliath come back, and Hudson then approached him. "Goliath..there is someone who wants to see you." Hudson said with a wide smile. Goliath looked confused.
"You can come out now.", Elisa called out before we saw a shadow coming out behind the rooftop stairway and as it came closer, coming into the moonlight, and to my shock, it's a Gargoyle! He had black skin, purple scales all over his body, and he had white hair.
"Who is he?" I asked in curiosity before I saw Goliath freeze in his pose, staring at the Gargoyle in shock. "Little...Shadow?", Goliath choked out, and I could see tears forming in his eyes.
"Actually, I go by Blaze now, Uncle.", Blaze smiled as he walked over to Goliath, and I saw Goliath embrace him in a huge hug as if he's afraid that if he would let go, his godson would disappear. The two were crying so much in happiness and amazement.
Goliath pulled back, "Where have you been, you rascal?!". Blaze grinned sheepishly as he looked like a little kid for a moment, and I giggled behind my hand as I realized that Goliath is clearly protective of Blaze.
I then walked to them, smiling softly, "Xanatos told them that you were taken long ago before he bought the castle.", I said in matter of fact. "A human family found me. They must have thought that I was an ordinary statue at the time." Blaze said with a smile.
"I never gave up hope that I would find you.", Goliath said, still tearing up. "I've been searching for you, Uncle. I never gave up hope that one day I would find you too.", Blaze explained as tears fell down his face, and I smiled as I saw Goliath. I've never seen him like this.
"How did you get here, Blaze?". Goliath asked curiously. "Actually, he saved me from Owen." Elisa said.
Brooklyn nodded, "Yeah, Blaze gave Owen a whooping of a hit!". Goliath chuckled, "I wish I could have seen that. How did you know that we were here?".
"I've heard rumors of Macbeth of being a Gargoyle hunter, so I came to New York to investigate, but I heard about the castle, and I had to see if you all were still alive.". Blaze then explained further with a shrug.
"Well, good thing that you did, otherwise we couldn't have been together now.". Goliath grasped Blaze's shoulder warmly. "I have a question for you, Blaze. How is it that now you're grown up? I mean, you were 5 years old when you turned to stone.", Brooklyn asked in confusion.
"I guess I have a lot of explaining to do.", Blaze said with a chuckle. "I am just so glad that you're alive and well! I missed you so much, my godson.", Goliath then hugged Blaze again.
I was so happy for him. This day couldn't get better; First, I and Goliath confess our feelings, and then he finally finds his godson who is all grown up. I wonder how that could have happened.
"Blaze, explain to us. How is that you're grown up?", Goliath asked in curiosity, demanding softly. We all sat down as Blaze explained where he has been.
"Well, as you already know, a human family found me. They lived in the mountains high above the clouds, which is how the spell broke. They accepted me, and they raised me as their own.", Blaze explained with a wistful smile.
"When did they find you?", I heard Elisa ask in curiosity. "In 1966." Blaze said with a chuckle.
"That's very nice of that family to raise you as you are a respectable Gargoyle.". Hudson complimented lightly. "That would explain why you now look like an adult.", Brooklyn said with a wide smile.
Goliath asked, "What happened next, Little Shadow, I mean, Blaze?", a soft sheepish smile on his face as he's not used to calling Blaze by his current name for he has been so used to the name of Little Shadow for so long.
"I went back into a stone sleep in 1984.", Blaze said with a hum. "Blaze, how long have you been awake?" Hudson asked in curiosity. "For about a month." Blaze said casually.
"That long?" Lexington asked in surprise. "After I woke up, I went back to Castle Wyvern, only to find that it was gone, and since then, I spent my time searching for you.", Blaze said with a sigh.
"But how did you survive?", I asked in amazement as I was awed of Blaze's tale. "I taught myself acrobatics, and I'm skilled at defending myself.", Blaze explained with a grin.
"That's very good, Blaze. You have become a warrior on your own, I am so proud of you.". Goliath beamed happily, and Blaze grinned widely, looking proud and happy as if he has missed this interacting of himself and Goliath for so long.
"Blaze, What happened to the humans who took you in?", Hudson asked quietly, and I could see Blaze looking sad. "They died a long time ago." Blaze said with a sigh,and I could see Elisa looking sad for him.
"I'm sorry, Blaze.", Elisa said, trying to comfort Blaze. I felt myself smile for by the way Elisa stared at him, I have a feeling that she and Blaze could end up being mates.
"I wish I could have met them, so I could give them my eternal thanks for their care of you Blaze." Goliath said with a frown as he comforted Blaze with a hand on the shoulder.
"Goliath, is it true? Elisa told me that your former mate tried to kill you.", Blaze asked in terrified shock. Goliath sighed heavily, "Yes, it's very true. Demona has betrayed us...". Blaze then hugged Goliath.
"I'm sorry, Little Shadow.",Goliath said as he hugged Blaze back, a upset look on his face. "I can't believe that she would try to kill you!", Blaze snarled, his eyes glowing white for a moment.
"I'm afraid that Demona's heart has gone dark.", Goliath said with a solemn frown, but then he grew determined, "But I promise I won't let her hurt you.", Goliath said with a growl, and Blaze smiled softly.
"We have a lot of catching up to do." Brooklyn said with a wide grin. "I'm sure we all do.", Blaze said with a chuckle.
"I'm a bit upset that I didn't get to see you grow up, Little Shadow.", Goliath said, sighing lightly with a weak smile. "All that matters now is that we're together." Blaze said. I saw all the Gargoyles nod in agreement, and Goliath's smile grew stronger.
The Gargoyle's new home will be at the clock tower above the police station. I, Elisa, and Morgan watched as the sun rose up, and they all turned to stone. I noticed that Blaze was right next to Goliath.
"I'm so happy that Goliath found his godson.", I said with a content smile. "I know! I've never seen him this happy.", Elisa said with a wide grin.
"Now we have to make sure that they never get separated from each other again.". Morgan said as she smiled, looking determined.
"Well, I guess we should head back home.", I said with a soft yawn, and we all went back to our apartments. I was staring out the window as Draven then came out of the necklace, and came to stand beside me.
"Hi, Draven.", I said to the spirit, smiling softly. "Sally, I'm so happy for you. I just know you and Goliath will have a happy life together.", Draven said to me as he placed his hand on my shoulder warmly, I smiled as I saw him smile back.
"Thanks, Draven.", I said as I stared out the window and I could see the clock tower, knowing what Draven said is true. I and Goliath were going to have a happy life together.
