Meghan's POV

I wake up in a dark room, it smelled of rusty Iron. The night before event's flashed through my mind and I knew that I was in the iron realm. Tears pricked my eyes and I desperately looked around the room to see if there were any exits. There were none. Only a door, it probably wasn't going to open but I thought, Why the heck not? I stood up and tested my walking ability.

After stumbling on a few stray pipes I finally got to the door. I tested the handle but quickly pulled back as whatever grime was on there I didn't want to see if it would burn my hands. I gathered my hand around my top and pushed down on the handle. It opened, but I was sure there was going to be someone around here. No Meghan. I thought, be positive you defeated Machina and got away before, Yeah, but Ash helped as well. Stop thinking like that! If I were talking out loud, I would probably sound like some mad woman.

Walking through unknown corridors I decided wasn't probably the best idea, but it was an idea. Suddenly, I heard footsteps moving at a fast pace towards me. I quickly crept behind one of the curtains that they kept lining the walls. The walls were vast and looked like scrap metal welded together, looked like they were trying to make it look good. I certainly thought that humans wouldn't think that this is good to have as a building in their dreams. I jumped out from behind my hiding spot as the unknown person or Iron Fey turned the corner and walked down a dark corridor. I continued to walk down strange corridors and turn at random corners until my feet got tired and my tummy complained that it was hungry. I went through a set of metal doors and hoped to get lucky and find a way out. No such luck, another corridor. I was beginning to wonder if this was just a labyrinth and that was why there was no-one here.

My ears picked up the shuffle of feet and I saw one of the Pack Rats that helped me out last time. I slowly walked towards him, hoping that he would recognize that it was me.

"Hey, will you help me? You know me right? I'm Meghan, you remember me?" The small creature nodded his head at each question. He then proceeded to take my hand and lead me out. I followed him as he led me, I didn't know how he could possibly know where to go, but I trusted him. I know that you shouldn't trust Fey, but there was something that made me trust him. He just had this sort of good presence about him. He led me through stairways and underground passageways until we finally came out. The bright sky made me rapidly close my eyes and slowly open them to adjust to the light.

I keeled down next to the Pack Rat to say thank you, but he silenced me and put the hand with the Ring Ash gave me on my stomach, giving it a tender caress then he walked away, leaving me in the shelter of a tree with no clue. I was still hungry, but also tired. I sat there, with my hand still on my stomach, twisting the ring, this way and that until sleep took me over. I think of how much my life has changed during my time in NeverNever and how much of that time was spent with Ash, How much I love him, how much I miss him right now.

I dreamed of a little boy, with Ash's black hair and my blue eyes, laughing and playing, looking so innocent and unknowing to the world around him.

Ash's POV

I left the castle at the same time as Sage and we talked as we rode. Sage is talking to me now.

"I see how much you want the Summer Princess back Ash, you can't fool me." He said, I started panicking, How could he know in such a short time? As if knowing my thoughts he told me.

"I saw the ring, it was the one you bought when you went with me to the centre market in Tir Nar Nog. You said you would give it to your true love once you finally found her, funny, you never gave it to or thought about giving it to Ariella. I won't tell anyone about you and her Ash, you deserve someone like her, she seems to make you see sense, plus, she doesn't tolerate any of Rowan's mockery. Just gives it right back to him. Hard to find a girl like that. I'm your brother, not your enemy, when we were little we used to tell each other everything." He seemed genuine, not threatening. That was always Sage though, always breaking up fights between me and my brother, but still ruthless in the battlefield and at any place really that required it.

After endless conversation, me and Sage split up. I try to remember the way into Tir Nar Nog but I can't quite seem to remember. Then a bored voice cuts into my inner ramblings.

"Are you lost in your own realm Ice prince or are you looking for your half-human love?" The Cait Sith, Meghan calls 'Grim' is there, looking down at me from his perch in the tree.

"Actually Cait Sith, I am looking for Meghan she was taken from the palace by Iron Fey, apparently they have a new king. They also took the sceptre. It is my job to get them back." I answered.

Grim hopped down off of the branch and trotted in a very 'I'm the boss' manner that all cats tend to have, Tail up, head high, he then called back.

"Are you coming to get Meghan or not?" I rolled my eyes and walked with him, my Fey horse's reins in my hand. As we pass all of the Ice wonderland that my home is, I start to wonder what Meghan is doing, how she is doing, is she OK? We then find the perfect place to sleep in order to continue our journey tomorrow. Before I go to bed I think of Meghan, I think of how much I love her. How much I would give up for her.

When I fall asleep, I dream again of the boy with my jet black hair and Meghan's deep blue eyes.
