Sally, remember when I said the time would be right to reveal myself to your friends? Well, now is the time. Draven said wisely, and I knew he was right. I saw that the sun was setting, so I used my telekinesis to carefully move the Gargoyle statues to the ground.
After I was done, I saw that it was now night time, and I went to stand beside Goliath. I then saw the Gargoyles wake up from their stone sleep. "Now it ends...what?", Demona said as she saw me in shock.
"Sally.", Hudson said in amazement as he noticed me, and I then saw Goliath waking up. "Sally, what are you doing here?!" Goliath asked in concern and horror.
"I changed my mind. I am going to kill you right here!", Demona growled as she lifted her blaster gun, aiming it at me. "I think it's time for you to go, Demona.", I said with a smirk, and my necklace glowed for a bit.
Demona snarled at me, looking a bit taken back by my confidence, but then she noticed a blue light coming from behind her. Demona turned around to see the spirit of Draven approaching her, and I saw that Goliath and Hudson looked shocked as well. "Who the hell are you?!", Demona snarled as she whipped her blaster gun at Draven.
"Time to send you flying, Demona.", Draven said before he let out a powerful roar, and I saw that the roar has sent Demona flying, and then Draven stopped. "Great job!", I laughed as Draven grinned at me, and then I saw Goliath and Hudson staring at Draven with a confused look.
"Sally, who is he?" Goliath asked me warily as he held onto me. "Well, this is going to shock you, but let's head to the clock tower first.", I said to them as I turned around to face Goliath and Hudson, smiling sheepishly.
We were all flying back to the clock tower. Well, Goliath was carrying me as he still didn't trust Draven, but he had to know about him. Goliath and his clan once told me about the stories they would hear about Draven.
Soon, we were at the clock tower as we landed, and we walked inside. I saw Elisa, Morgan with the other Gargoyles, and then they noticed us. "You're all okay!", Brooklyn shouted in relief, and then Bronx noticed Draven, barking at him.
"Who's he?", Lexington asked suspiciously. "That's what we liked to know. He just came out of nowhere, and sent Demona flying.", Hudson said in awe.
"Really?", Elisa asked in shock. "He let out a powerful roar, and it sent Demona flying. Now, Sally, tell us who he is.", Goliath said, staring at me.
"I guess I owe you all a huge explanation, don't I?", I said with a weak grin, and then my sister came to step beside me. "He is a Gargoyle Spirit and his name is...Draven.", I explained softly, and then the Gargoyles' eyes widened.
"Wait!? Draven as in the legendary Gargoyle with the strongest magic ever!?", Brooklyn shouted in shock. "Even more powerful than Oberon, Titania, and the Children of Oberon!?", Lexington asked in amazement.
"But how is that possible?". asked Broadway in curiosity. Hudson nodded, "Yes, how are you able to be here?". Goliath spoke, "But why do you choose to appear in this of all times?".
"But wait, how does he know you?", Elisa asked in surprise and curiosity. "Well, he saved me and my family from a fire when I was 7 years old, and Goliath, remember when you asked me about how I got my magic powers? Well, it was actually Draven who taught me.", I confessed with a smile.
"But Sally, why didn't you tell us about him?", Elisa asked softly, looking a bit upset. "I told Sally that I would reveal myself to you when the time was right for all of you to know.", Draven said warmly as he stood beside me, placing a hand upon my back.
"Like when you knew you had to stop Demona.", Hudson elaborated with a nod. "Exactly.", Draven said with a grin.
"Morgan, did you know about him as well?", Brooklyn asked as he looked at Morgan sternly. "Yes, I did.", Morgan said with a sheepish smile.
"This is all amazing, but if I may ask, how did you get trapped in a necklace?", Broadway asked in wonder. "Broadway's right. The stories we heard said that you disappeared after a fight.", Goliath said in awe and wonder.
"It was during an attack at Castle Wyvern.", Draven said wistfully with a sad sigh. "Wait, you lived at Castle Wyvern!?", Lexington said in shock, widening his eyes.
"I was the eldest Gargoyle, but I never thought that you have lived there before me.", Hudson spoke in bewilderment. "It was way before you and the rest of your clan moved into the castle, and I was friends with Princess Katharine and the Magus.", Draven replied with a shrug.
"But why didn't the Princess or the Magus ever mention you?", Goliath asked in shock. "It was too hard for them to go down memory lane. You see, the princess was out on a boat one night, and the vikings attacked, and I was able to use my magic to stop the vikings from attacking the castle, but when I saw that the princess was in trouble, I knew I had to save her, but at a terrible cost, I became a spirit." Draven replied tearfully.
"But how?", Hudson asked in wonder. "I saw a viking launch a spear at the princess, and I took the hit that was meant for her.", Draven explained softly. Exclamations came from all the Gargoyles at once, shock filling their eyes.
"The necklace which I'm wearing, it originally belonged to Princess Katharine. The necklace had fallen into the ocean, and Draven possessed it, but it took thousands of years for the humans to find it.", I explained for Draven.
"But why did you possess the necklace?", Brooklyn asked in awe and a bit curiosity. "Because I knew if somebody was possessed by me, they would gain my magic powers and I couldn't allow that. Before I possessed the necklace, I saw a vision, and I saw Sally in my vision.", Draven said with a smile.
"You saw her in your vision?", Elisa asked in amazement. "I did. I knew that she would be the one who I would train to learn about my magic.", Draven said with a nod.
"I once saw him before. I was going to see Sally after she was shot, and I saw him floating near her bed." Goliath said softly. "You saw him?" I said, looking at him in surprise. Goliath nods his head.
"The legend said that you can see the future and you can also read a person's soul, is it true? Were you able to read Blaze's soul?", Goliath asked nervously.
"I am a Seer, yes, but it happens when it happens, not at my will. So, I am afraid to say that I have not Seen of Blaze yet, but I can sense people in a way. I cannot read his soul, but I sensed that he is mentally hurt ever since that day he lost his foster family.", Draven sighed heavily, frowning at Goliath, and Goliath sighed deeply with a nod.
"I really want Little Shadow back as who he used to be, but the past is the past. All we could do for the best is to help him heal.", Goliath spoke sadly, and Draven nodded in understanding.
"But Sally, why didn't you tell me about him when we first met?", Elisa asked in confusion as she looked at me. "Like Draven said, he told me to wait until the time was right.", I said with a helpless shrug and a weak smile.
"So, he has been caring for you?", Brooklyn asked softly as he looked at Morgan. "Ever since we were little." Morgan said with a grin.
"Draven has been like a father to me and my sister after my dad died protecting me.", I said to them as I felt Draven place his hand on my shoulder. "And I'm glad to have them as my children. My life wouldn't be the same without them.", Draven said, smiling warmly, and I saw Morgan hug Draven happily.
"It's amazing that the Gargoyle with the most powerful magic is here with us.", Brooklyn said in amazement. "I know, right?!", Lexington said with a excited grin.
"So, you taught Sally how to conjure food, huh? I love that power!", Broadway laughed in delight. "Imagine all the wisdom you have earned over the years, I'd be delighted to chat with you of any lessons I have learned myself.", Hudson smiled warmly.
"I would be very happy to have such a powerful Gargoyle as you for a protector of this clan, Draven.", Goliath spoke respectfully with a little bow. "Goliath, Draven doesn't mind me being with you.", I said happily as I went over to hold Goliath's hand firmly.
"I have seen that you and my daughter will have a happy life together, but if you ever hurt her...", Draven said warmly with a hint of wariness as I then placed my other hand on his. "Draven, it's okay, I know Goliath would never do that.", I said with a stern look, and Draven then smiled at me.
"I promise that I won't ever do something like that to Sally as I love her with all my heart.", Goliath said with another respectful nod. "And if you all ever need help or my advice, just call my name, and I will appear before you.", Draven said after he nodded back to Goliath.
"Thank you, Draven.", Goliath said gratefully, and Draven then shook his hand with him. "Draven, can you tell us more stories about when you lived at the castle?", Broadway asked in excitement.
I chuckled warmly, and I looked at Draven. "I don't mind.", Draven said smiling with a warm chuckle.
Draven was telling the Gargoyles more about his life before they moved into the castle. I sighed softly, feeling happy, and I went outside to stare at the city. I then felt someone behind me, and I knew that it was Goliath.
"Hey, Goliath." I said softly as I turned around slightly to face him. "What are you doing out here, Sally?", Goliath asked gently.
"Just thinking about what a day it has been. First, Demona tried to poison me, and now, you all know about Draven.", I said with a chuckle. "Indeed.", Goliath said with a bright smile.
"Goliath, I'm sorry that I kept him secret from you.", I said as I averted my eyes briefly, and I then felt Goliath hold my hand in his. I looked up to see that his eyes were filled of love and understanding.
"Sally, I can understand why you didn't want to tell us about him. You were afraid that someone like Xanatos or Demona would try to steal the necklace, and use his magic for evil.", Goliath said with a warm smile and a light nod.
"That's right, Goliath. That's another reason why I love you.", I said to Goliath as I lifted his hand, kissing it softly upon the palm. Then I felt it move to rest upon my cheek. "That's also why I love you too, Sally." Goliath said to me as his hand stroked my cheek so tenderly, and I smiled at him brightly, my heart swelling in love.
Goliath then held me up and we kissed passionately. As we were kissing, I kept thinking about how I no longer had to keep Draven a secret from my friends, and I also kept thinking about my future with Goliath. Draven was teasing me about having children with Goliath, and I couldn't wait to form a family with him.
