We've waited this long and now here it is! The wait is over! Who will Soren choose? Let's find out...NOW!

Chapter 8: Soren's Decision

Soren looked at both Gylfie and Otulissa and he seems very troubled about this dire choice that he will most likely make to choose between either Gylfie or Otulissa and it's starting to take it's toll on him. He sighs heavily and said, "Gylfie..."

"Told you!" Gylfie exclaimed.

"I haven't reached a decision yet. I just wanted to tell you something first."

"Oh, sorry."

Soren sighed heavily and got real serious as he walked up to her and told her, "Gylfie...we've been friends since day one, ever since we got kidnapped at St. Aggie's and we've always stuck together and escaped there. If it hadn't been for you, we would've never been one of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole. And we've been having adventures ever since. It's been a great time in our lives and you know that I will always be your friend. Nothing's gonna change that, even though I did have feelings for you."

"I have feelings for you too, Soren." Gylfie said, softly.

Gylfie holds on to him and Soren closed his eyes and he somehow felt really guilty that his heart goes to someone else. He turned away for a second because he felt like this is gonna be the hardest part he's ever done. Then, he opened his eyes and turned his attention to Otulissa. He walks over to her and said, "Otulissa...my dear, sweet Otulissa...I've had a massive crush on you from day one. The way you look so pretty and your eyes...they mesmerize me. It made me feel like...I want to be your mate and that I would spend the rest of my life with."

"I feel the same way too, Soren." Otulissa said.

Gylfie couldn't bear to see this happening and Soren hasn't chose whom he loves yet. Soren sighs heavily and he feels as if this could be the hardest choice he's had to deal with, but he's likely to follow both his heart and his gizzard to reach a decision of his own.

He clears his throat and told Gylfie, "No matter what decision I make, nothing's gonna change because I hope we can still be friends."

Gylfie didn't say anything because she's got actual feelings for him and she knows that she might be devastated if he chooses Otulissa. Her heart is starting to break a little bit and she's anxious enough to wait any longer.

Soren gulps hardly and says, "I choose..."

Both girls were anxiously waiting for the answer from Soren and Gylfie was beginning to look scared about this and that this will affect her and leave her emotionally scarred. Soren sighed heavily and said, "I choose...Otulissa."

Gylfie definitely felt like her world is crashing down after that decision. Otulissa walks over to him and puts her wing on his shoulder and hugged him tightly. Gylfie knew that this would be the end of what she's been thinking, but she knows that her and Soren will always be friends. But it's very bittersweet for her and she feels a little hurt by it and she flies off with tears in her eyes.

She then went to Ezylryb's chambers and started crying her eyes out. She couldn't help but think of all the things they've been through together, but she realizes that it's never gonna change because he will always be his friend.

She whispered, "I will always be your friend, Soren. And...I'm happy for you and Otulissa."

She looked at the window and sees that it was Soren's choice and all that matters is that he'll always be her friend, no matter what.

Well, Soren made his decision...his love for Otulissa. Bittersweet, I know. Here's how we wrap it up.
