Yeah, I don't own any of this, I'd like to thank my reviewers – I want to get up to fifty before the story ends. I'd also like for other people to review. This is an awesome chapter I think. I don't know though, all I have planned so far is the last sentence. Enjoy and review!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Last time:

In her blackness, she thought that she heard Faziah screaming and Rikash whispering to her. She saw the Black God's big head nodding at her. Torah suddenly realized what was going on. She was in labor, and she was now in the council of the gods. Torah spun around to look at four girls. She nodded to Kati before turning to face the Great Mother. She spoke.

"Daughter, you need to make a choice, a choice between life…and death. You will need to choose from…"

This time:

"…being a goddess and wearing the crown of a god or your lover Rikash. You can only choose one or the other. You can't have both. Who do you choose; me or your prince?"

Torah gasped. "Great Mother! You can't do that! You can't make me choose between you and my friends! Please Mother!"

The Great Lady's emerald eyes didn't even blink. She replied in her cool manner. "I can do so, Toralina. I am the Goddess. What is your choice?"

Torah felt tears come to her face. "I'm sorry, Mother, but I choose Rikash. He loves me for who I am, and I know him well. As much as I want to get to know you, I know that I can't live without Rikash. I'll miss you."

The Goddess nodded. "So be it. You have an hour to spend time with your sisters and then you shall leave and never return again. Toralina, congratulations. Your second child was just born. Your first daughter was born an hour past."

"I haven't been up here an hour!"

"Time is different here. Go talk with your sisters."

Torah bowed low and went off to stand next to Kati. She was swept into a big hug. Zerana and Paelinne joined the hug.

Finally, she was released. Kati smiled at her, tears falling off of her cheeks. "I can't believe that this is the last time we'll see each other. I'll miss you!"

Zerana nodded solemnly. It didn't take long for Torah to figure out that she was the least outspoken of the sisters. Paelinne, or Paeli, was like Torah was when she had earned her title Heartbreaker. She was a bigger flirt than Torah had ever been. Kati was Kati. She was different, and Torah felt closer to her than the others.

The hour seemed short. Torah gave each sister a last hug before turning back to the Goddess. She was ready to meet her daughters.

A pink dragon appeared beside her. Torah silently gave Toma a small hug. She then squinted her eyes shut. When she opened them, she was lying in bed, Rikash and Kali sitting beside her, both crying. Torah winced and sat up, groaning as she realized how much she hurt.

Rikash and Kali both looked up. With yells of joy, they both threw their arms around Torah. Kali gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead before leaving Rikash and Torah alone.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Torah laughed. "Of course I am. I was talking to my mother, the Goddess. She made me choose between you and her. I chose you."

Torah was hugged tightly again. "Gods, Torah. You didn't have to do that! You should have chosen to be with your sisters and parents!" He whispered. "You could have found another person, or god I guess, to love." Torah laughed and pushed him away.

"Rikash, I don't want to find someone else. All that I've ever wanted is right in front of my nose. You should learn to see what's in front of yours." Torah laughed and reached up and tweaked his nose. Rikash laughed and kissed her.

Torah was ready for everything that happened next. She was ready for Rikash to get down on one knee and hold a ring up to her. It wasn't as fancy as Zamar's, but Torah liked it better. Torah was ready to get off of the bed and kneel down next to him. She was ready to leap onto him and kiss him fiercely. And she was ready to say yes.

Rikash and Torah sat there on the floor for what seemed like a long time. Suddenly, Rikash stood up, pulling Torah up with him. She looked longingly back at the floor. Rikash laughed. "Don't you want to meet your twins?"

Torah's eyes widened, before she went back to looking stern again. "Our twins." She corrected. "They're ours." Rikash kissed her again, love in his eyes.

Torah was delighted with them. The elder one, who she named Myra after her ancestor, had the Conte black hair and the Trebond purple eyes. The younger one was named Jazmyn after Rikash's dead aunt. She had Torah's grandmother Alanna's red hair and the Conte blue eyes. They were both quiet children.

Torah and Rikash were married by Midwinter. Rikash's older sister Sarralyn turned out being one of Torah's best friends. Torah heard from her mother every so often. The Great Goddess had decided that Torah was still her daughter and going to be a goddess after all. Torah shook her head. Gods and goddesses changed their minds too quickly. The Lady might change it again by the end of the summer.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Eleven years later:

"Ma! Ma! I can't believe that I'm actually a page! Can you believe that?! Isn't that really cool!" A little girl around eleven yelled.

Torah laughed and reached down to hug her daughter. "Jazmyn, you've been a page for a whole year now. Do you like it?"

Jazmyn rolled her eyes. "Yes, I like it. You'd have to be a fool not to. What I mean is that I'm a real page now, not a lady one! There was a law passed, and I'm now a regular page! No more special treatment!" Jazmyn seemed to see her mother's big belly for the first time! "Ma, you're going to have another baby! Girl or boy?"

Torah laughed. "Hopefully a boy. I think that little Jon is tired of being the only boy. Have you seen Alana anywhere? She was supposed to be back an hour ago!"

Jazmyn shook her head. "Nope. I didn't even know that she was here. I thought that she was going to go the convent."

Torah snorted. "Yeah right. Alana hates acting ladylike. She'll be another lady knight like yourself. Jon will probably follow Myra into sorcery. He has a Gift almost as powerful as mine and Myra's, although he doesn't have a Gift for weather. He'll be a very powerful Healer, though."

Jazmyn nodded thoughtfully. "What about Ely?"

Torah shook her head. "I have no idea. She won't care. She's a happy child, one that will be happy anywhere. Are you going to tell me all about page training? Wow, Jaz, you've grown taller!"

Jazmyn shrugged sadly. "Yeah, I'm nowhere nearly as pretty as Myra though. As soon as she gets to Court, she'll be getting all the boys. I'll be stuck being an old maid for the rest of my life."

Torah shook her head. She's eleven, and you can already tell that she's my daughter. She thought. "And Myra will tell them no. She can't even tell that boys like her. She'll never notice. She likes her lightning too much. No matter how pretty My is, no boy will get her for a while."

Jazmyn grinned. "Yeah, you're probably right. Want to here about my crushes? I've had six since I got to the palace." Torah choked on her lemonade and started coughing. She looked up, with watery eyes. "What?" Jaz asked.

"You remind me of myself, that's all. Go on and tell me about them."

Before they could get far, a tall beauty entered the room. She was dressed in a green robe that fell to her ankles and contrasted perfectly with her violet eyes. She was followed by a boy around nine and two girls seven and four. The older girl carried a book. Jaz jumped up to hug her twin.

"Myra! When did you get back?" Jaz asked.

Myra smiled. Boys would have melted at that smile. "Only a few minutes ago. I had some things to finish at the university. Why are you so enthusiastic? We just saw each other a week ago?"

Jaz grinned. "I've great news!"

"Really? Me too!"

"You first."

Torah cleared her throat. "Myra, do I not get a hug?" Myra turned around and threw herself into Torah's arms.

"Ma! You're pregnant! With a boy! Wait! A girl! No two boys and a girl!" Myra said happily. Torah turned white. "You're pregnant with triplets!" Torah opened her mouth before running out of the room, probably to tell Rikash. Myra looked at her in disbelief. "Maybe I shouldn't have told her all that. I'm only learning how to control my powers now, though. What's your news?"

"Well, I'm a real page! One without special treatment! What's yours?"

"I'm a green robe! I passed my test! I'm now an Intermediate!"

"That's excellent! Does Father treat you well? Isn't he your teacher? Is Uncle Thom still headmaster?"

"Yep. Da's very nice. He always is. You should come down with me sometime. I made a new friend! He's very nice!"

"You make a friend? You're the most unsocial girl your age!" Jaz said loudly.

Myra glared back. "I am not!" She took a pillow from the armchair and smacked her sister with it. Jaz smiled back and grabbed one of her own.

From the stairs, Torah smiled fondly at her daughters' pillow fight. She smiled at Rikash who had wrapped an arm around her waist. "Remember when we were that age?"

Rikash laughed. "Yes, I do. We weren't that crazy, were we?"

Torah laughed. "Yes, we were!"

Rikash grinned. "Only because of you." He kissed Torah gently on lips. They kissed for a while until the twins noticed. Jaz was wide-eyed, and Myra was wrinkling her nose in disguist. Rikash laughed at her. "My, wait until you're older. You'll be doing this someday."

Myra snorted loudly. "I doubt that." Jaz giggled.

Torah hugged both of them to her. "Myra, it's normal. I can assure you that much."

She shrugged. "Maybe." She grinned at Jaz.

Jaz grinned back. "Maybe."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's the end! I really hope that you guys liked it! I would like to thank all my reviewers, GuitarBlonde, Moony's Shady Lady, ChocolateCoveredStrawberries, 13.Shimer.13, and Lady-Luthien-Ancalimon. I would especially like to thank SOPROL and C.McPherson, my two most frequent reviewers. They reviewed my first book and this one. I could have never done it without you guys! I also want to thank SOPROL for the name Myra and C.McPherson for the name Jazmyn. C.McPherson also needs thanked for helping me out through tight-spots and giving me constructive criticism the whole way through.

I'm really sorry about ending it without telling you that there's going to be so many chapters left, but I wanted to make it longer, but it was just too weird writing about the twins. This is the best I can do, and it's like my fourth draft.

If you have questions, or suggestions on what my next fic should be about, please tell me! I would also love to get to fifty reviews, but I doubt if I will. If everyone who read this could review, I would be very happy. If I forgot to mention you above, or if you read but didn't review, then please know that it isn't too late. You can always review and have your name added.

Here are the names of Torah's kids:

Myra – 11 – mage

Jazmyn – 11 – knight

Jon – 9 – Healer

Alana – 7 – knight

Ely – 4 – Queen's Rider/Court Lady

Kalon – 0 – King's Own

Lia – 0 – Court Lady

Tom – 0 – Healer

Well, please, please review! I hope you liked it!!!
