I was gliding to the castle. Draven had used his magic to make the song play, and I could see that it was working as the rain was slowing down a bit.
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
I have to save my baby and my friends! I then saw the castle up ahead.
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
I saw Elisa, Morgan, and Fox. I saw that Morgan was holding Dagian in her arms, and Fox had Alex in her arms as I saw Oberon and Titania in front of them.
"Give us the children.", Oberon said with a furious look. "We will never hand them over!", Morgan snarled angrily.
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
"Why couldn't I stop this infuriating song?!", Oberon snarled, looking frustrated. I then felt Draven's anger. I'm going to show Oberon and Titania that no one, I mean, no one messes with my family! Draven snarled.
I agree with you. I said with a growl.
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
I then glided to the castle, and I stood in front of my friends. "Sally!", They all shouted in relief as I heard Dagian laugh and giggle when he saw me.
"I used a spell to put you to sleep!", Oberon said, looking pissed off. "Are you the one who has this music playing?", Titania asked, looking both impressed yet upset.
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars.
Then a blue light appeared in front of me, and Draven appeared. "Who in the gods are you?!", Oberon snarled lowly.
"My lord, you shouldn't make him more angry.", Titania spoke nervously as she noticed Draven's furious look. "You...are going..to regret...messing with my family!", Draven snarled angrily as he used his telekinesis to lift Oberon and Titania in the air.
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the Sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
"What's happening?! Who are you?", Oberon shouted in dismay and fury. "I am Draven, a spirit. I possessed Princess Katherine's necklace, but it was destroyed, and I now live within Sally's body.", Draven said with a growl.
"The most powerful gargoyle who wields magic.", Titania gasped in horror and fear. "I should take away your magic for trying to kidnap my grandson, and for trying to take Fox's child as well." Draven snarled furiously.
"You can do that?!", Oberon yelled in shock. "My lord, Draven is far more powerful than you. He could do it.", Titania warned lightly.
"I am a Seer and I can see when a person is bad or good. I have been able to read your souls, and they are good.", Draven said with a soft growl as he let them fall to the floor.
"I'm glad you're alright, Sis!", Morgan sobbed lightly as she hugged me. I hugged her as well, and she then handed me back my baby.
I saw Goliath, Xanatos, Puck along with my aunt, and Sophie run to us. "Sally!", Goliath shouted in relief as he ran over to me and hugged me.
"Are you okay?", Goliath asked in concern. "I'm fine, and so is our baby.", I said with a smile as Dagian babbled lightly with a giggle.
"Thank goodness that you're safe, and you too, Dagian.", Goliath breathed in relief as he then kissed me on the temple. "I'm glad you're alright, Fox, and you too, Alex.", Xanatos said with a relieved look as Alex gurgled in Fox's arms.
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
"Why is Circle of life playing, and how come it sounds like it's coming from everywhere?", Sophie asked with confusion. "Because it is. This song will break the spell that Oberon has cast on the humans.", Draven said with a smile.
"But why this song, Draven?", Titania asked in humbled curiosity. "This song represents the meaning of life, and how we all have a place in it.", I said with a soft grin.
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
"Again and again, this song makes me shiver in delight, knowing that there's hope for the world.", Draven chuckled in amusement. "That is true. This song always made me feel emotional.", Xanatos said with a grin.
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
"But how did you know that it works?", Titania asked in surprise. "We used it once to break a spell when everyone was turned to stone.", I said with a smile as I glanced at Goliath with a wink.
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
"And it worked.", Elisa said with a victorious grin.
In the circle, the circle of life
"This song truly represents the meaning of life which is how it was able to break the spell.", Goliath said with a warm nod.
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
"I have to admit that it's a alluring song, and it fits quite well to break a spell like this.", Titania smiled softly. "Now apologize to my daughter and Fox.", Draven said, giving Oberon a glare.
"I humbly apologize for what I have done this day. Your children, your family won't ever be harmed no more.". Oberon spoke softly. "Apology accepted.", I said with a nod.
"I'm entirely happy with that.", Fox nodded lightly with a glance at Titania. "But since we can't take the children, how are they going to learn magic?", Titania asked in confusion.
"Sally and I will teach Dagian while Puck can teach Alex.", Draven said with a grin. "That sounds like a nice plan.", Oberon said with a approving nod.
"Puck will stay with us as you will not take him back to Avalon. He can visit, but he won't stay there forever as he likes to live with the humans.", Draven said with a growl. "Thank you, Draven!", Puck said, squealing in happiness and joy as he's so grateful.
"Very well, then.", Oberon sighed lightly with a nod. "I have a feeling that we will meet again.", Draven said with a thoughtful smile.
"Til next time, then. I bid you farewell, Draven.". Oberon smiled softly. "Take care of yourselves.", Titania nodded warmly with a smile. The two then disappeared.
I saw our friends starting to wake up. "What happened?", Angela asked as she rubbed her head lightly. "I feel dizzy.", Lacey said with a groan of misery.
"We will explain later. Let's go home.", Goliath said with a smile. "Are you coming, Sophie?", Aunt Karen asked curiously.
"No, I think I will stay here.", Sophie said with a smile as she grabbed Puck's hand, giving him a loving glance.
"Wait.", Xanatos called out as he came up to us. "What?", Goliath asked warily as he turned around to face Xanatos.
"Without your help, I would have lost my son tonight. I owe you all a debt of gratitude that I may never be able to repay, but I will try, I promise.", Xanatos said softly as he held out his hand.
"And I should trust this promise after all that has passed between us?", Goliath asked softly. Xanatos nodded, "You always said that a Gargoyle keeps his word. Well, now it's my turn.". Goliath sighed lightly before looking at me, and I nodded with a smile.
"We will see you around, Xanatos. Alex shouldn't be alone without his father nor his mother.", Goliath nodded with a look at Xanatos, and Xanatos smiled with another nod before leaving us to huddle around Fox and Alex.
I then used my magic to make our human friends fly alongside us as we went back to the clock tower. I then used a spell to make my mom and Uncle appear in the clock tower.
We all explained to everyone how Draven was able to convince Oberon and Titania to let me and Fox keep our babies as long as we trained them to use magic, but they were too little to learn magic right now, so we would have to wait until they were older.
Goliath then came over and hugged me. "I'm so glad that everything's back to normal. I was afraid to lose my baby.", I said with a heavy sigh as I leaned against his chest.
"But it didn't happen as that's all that matters now, Sally.", Goliath said with a light growl. Dagian then started to giggle.
"But I'm glad our child is okay as I can't imagine life without him.", Goliath said with a kiss on my forehead. "Me neither.", I said softly as Goliath then wrapped his wing around me.
My family spent a bit more time with us before they left. Sophie said that she was staying, and that she would be living with Xanatos. I figured that means she's staying for Owen aka Puck, which is sweet and a bit weird as well.
It was day time and Goliath's reaction to seeing his son turn human was funny. Dagian had his skin color, much to Goliath's joy, saying that Dagian is going to be like him in looks mostly.
I went to work at the Bakery while Goliath stayed at my apartment to watch over Dagian. After the day was over, I glided to my apartment, opening my window, and went inside. I saw Goliath feeding Dagian, and I smiled softly as I walked over to them.
"He sure is hungry.", Goliath chuckled softly as he then patted his back, and Dagian burped. "There you go, Dagian. Your mother's back.". Goliath rumbled softly as he softly turned Dagian around.
Dagian saw me, and he stretched his arms towards me. "Want me to hold you, Dagian?" I asked warmly as I then grabbed him, and I placed his head on my shoulder.
"How was your day with Dagian?", I asked with a curious smile at Goliath. "It was great. Angela played with him all day, and Dagian loves her already, but he loved to play with me a lot as well.", Goliath said, giving a soft chuckle.
"I knew that Angela would love her little brother.", I said with a laugh. "Indeed. Angela is growing more responsible, and that makes me proud of her.", Goliath smiled warmly before frowning slightly.
"It also reminds me of Little Shadow when he was a baby.", Goliath said, giving out a little sigh. I sighed heavily as I nodded.
"Where is Blaze anyway?", Goliath asked curiously with a bit of concern. "Sorry, but he left 3 days ago before you got here.", I said with a helpless shrug.
"I couldn't believe it! Three days late, and I missed him!", Goliath groaned lightly. "Sorry, Goliath. I know you wanted to see him very badly.", I said with a nod.
"I just don't understand why Little Shadow prefers to be alone when he has a family.", Goliath said with a frustrated growl, shaking his head in disbelief.
"It might be since he spent those few years by himself before he went into a stone sleep, it must have affected him.", I suggested softly with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, but still I would want Blaze to know that his siblings are still alive.", Goliath said with a quiet growl. "I know. I want him to know too, but Draven said that it's still not time for him to know about his siblings yet.", I said softly with a look at him.
"I am sad, but Elisa is even more sad than me as she has been wanting to see him.", Goliath said with a sigh. "Poor Elisa. I know, but Blaze told me that he still doesn't know if he wants to be with her.", I said with a shake of my head in frustration.
"That's just absurd. Blaze wouldn't want to be with Elisa? Elisa is a remarkable woman, and I don't even care if she's human. I want her happy, and I want Little Shadow to be happy as well.", Goliath growled lightly with a sigh. I nodded in agreement as I obviously felt the same.
