CHAPTER 8 - The end?
***************************

The battling was long and fierce, Ragdonly and Dan took out a total of over six thousand dark Eleka battlers together, totals being over thirty three hundred for Ragdonly and over four thousand for Dantillias. Together they were unstoppable and their owner was very impressed at the determination they
displayed. In the end Ragdonly and Dan were rewarded with many praises from not just Lila but MANY others even Chancelyn was in battle for a short time with one of Lila's friends as her son passed her on and then got her back so she could fight for whom ever needed her help.

With Eleka locked away in her castle by a very powerful spell that the god, The'logIAN and goddess Lia'MAY put on her, things were finally going back to normal. Nettogrof was now currently a golden fassie and happy to be portaled.

Lila had a new routine now and was helping more members with more free stuff for new foke who moved into Marada. Dantillias and Ragdonly were getting to spend more time together as they matured, both physically and mentally and spiritually. They vowed to keep training as often as possible and the other
guardians around Mara were happy to keep watch over them all as they settled back down to a happy life, all knowing that only time would tell what the future would bring.

Ragdonly leaned back against Dan as he wobbled her back and forth on the swing, looking at the clouds,

"Do you think she'll try to hurt us again?" she asked him

"If my visions are of predictions that could be then it's all possible" he murmured "but remember these are things that could be not will be"

"So there's no definite in anything?" she asked confused.

He took her hand and pulled her out of the swing and sat down on the grass with her and pointed to the sky,

"The gods watch us, and even they do not have all the answers, but they try to make do with what they have, nothing is for certain except two things, life and death, what we add to the middle of that is up to us."

She leaned back and looked up at him, "But what of our futures?"

"We already have them written for us, with each passing day the fates lead us closer to what we already know" he replied with wisdom.

Ragdonly was confused if nothing was definite then how come their future was.. known as he stated?

He looked at her and knew she was wondering what he meant, he smiled as he stared intently in her eyes, she didn't know why he kept doing that it made her feel so...exposed. She blushed red hot and tried to tuck her head, she felt so dumb sometimes. He didn't allow her to hide.

Placing a finger under her chin he raised her face to look in her eyes again.

"I mean out future is already written as we know what we want and are willing to fight for it."

"Oh" she said blushing again, she should have understood that she thought to herself.

He chuckled at her shocked look.

"Maybe I need to say it, I love you, with all my being and no one will stop me from doing so, I would die for you."

She gasped it was the first time he ever actually said those words to her.
A tear fell from her eye but it was a tear of joy. She snuggled in against him looked up and sighed with content, then said quietly.

"You know what, I love you to, I think I have from the first day I set eyes on you"

It was his turn to blush at her comment and she giggled out loud and said

"NOW I know what you mean by it makes your eyes shine!"

She kissed his nose, hugged him tight and they both enjoyed their time together. Lila came out to the garden to see her two pets curled up against the Bohaja tree. She thought of the trouble those two had gone through and was pleased to see her family was expanding, maybe not in the way she expected but at least things were looking up.
The letter from Indigo to Ragdonly and Dantillias telling them their battling ranks could wait, for now she let the two pets enjoy their quite time together.

The End?
