"...Three exotic swords,

Two brand new knives,

And a Hive Worm in a pantry!"

Skorri took a deep breath, and bowed. All around the fire, the Iron Lords clapped, a few of them laughing.

Efrideet double took at Gheleon, who sat next to her.

"Dude, are you crying?" he gave a start at the sound of her voice. All eyes were on the pessimistic, sometimes-gruesome Hunter. He wiped his face quickly with the back of his wrist.

"What? No. I just stared at the fire for too long. Because I was bored." he insisted dully. Efrideet smirked, and Perun and Jolder looked at each other knowingly.

"Oh, really?" Efrideet stated accusingly. Felwinter rolled his synthetic eyes in their direction.

"Yes. Really." Gheleon confirmed firmly.

Suddenly, Timur gave a loud cough."Denial." he hid in the sound. Suddenly, everyone that could manage one gave the pessimistic Hunter sly, narrow-eyed looks.

"Is her voice so magical it takes you to faraway winter peaks?" Efrideet sighed romantically, grabbing his arm and leaning against him whilst looking up at him teasingly.

"Does she make you think of windbirds and river forests?" Saladin teased, Gheleon growing redder and redder all the while. Jolder put one hand over her heart.

"No, no; she makes him dream of snow spirits and ghosts singing with her voice!" she declared. Skorri watched the whole thing with amusement and barely contained giggle. Perun, Saladin, and Jolder interlocked arms, swaying slightly as they sang, the rest of the Lords of Iron joining in as they went.

"Skorri, I love you, oh yes I do! When we're apart, my heart beats only for youuu!" Efrideet shook her fellow Hunter lightly, his face now greatly resembling a tomato, as the Iron Lords laughed.

Gheleon stood up, shaking Efrideet off of him. Rather than storming off into the woods like the Hunter he was until his friends calmed down, he marched up to Skorri...

And kissed her.

Radegast, who had taken a bite out of his chicken leg, made an odd sound. Perun, who had gotten the hiccups and put some water to her lips, spit the water out right into Jolder's face. The Titaness did reach, as, aside from Radegast(who seemed to be choking), and the spitting Perun, everyone else stared at the scene with jaws hitting the floor. Gheleon broke away from Skorri.

And then he stormed off into the woods like the Hunter he was. Everyone continued to stare. Radegast gripped at Silimar, who was neck to him, desperately, other hand on his throat, gawking soundlessly for air. The other Titan slammed his friend and leader hard on the back, still staring, and everyone continued to stare as the piece of chicken flew out of Radegast's mouth and into the fire. As the leader of the noble Iron Lords gasped for breath, Skorri the battle bard fell backwards into the snow in a dead faint. Felwinter gave his head a small shake.

"I'm sorry, are my optics glitching? Did I really just see that?" he asked to no-one in particular. Everyone nodded slowly.

"I think maybe we pushed him a little far." Efrideet said after a while. Suddenly, Jolder gave a wild, excited yelp.

"Guys, you know what this means!?" she asked them all excitedly.

"Every patrol those two will do from here on out is going to be done in awkward silence?" Efrideet guessed.

"No! It means they could have a wedding!" She squealed. Perun gasped, gripping her friends shoulders.

"Oh my gosh, that would be wonderful! Skorri would look beautiful in a dress!"

"I know, right? And her hair's just perfect for a rose braid bun!"

"Oo, I know this warlord, remember the one near England, that nice old guy? His wife put my hair up in this awesome looking French braid pattern!"

"We could use my makeup, she would look positively ravishing in copper! Make her eyes pop, you know?"

As the two girls squealed excitedly, chattering on about makeup as Gheleon, somewhere, strode through the woods, and as Skorri lay unconscious in the snow, Radegast, Saladin and Silimar shared dumbfounded looks. Timur was still staring at the place the even had happed in, still slack-jawed(or maybe lock-jawed). Felwinter looked between them and the women, and then shrugged.

"Girls." he stated, shaking his head slowly.

Ah, it's finally done... and woefully late. I totally failed my self-appointed schedule with this one.

It was so fun to write this! All of these! And the reception it's gotten is mind-blowingly amazing! My fics never really get any notice; mostly because my main focus is an obscure Harry Potter/ Star trek: Deep Space Nine crossover(we call it a "pottertrek" for short). I did a one-shot of Destiny back when I was a noob to the game, and I wrote a Mass Effect one-shot earlier this year just for kicks, but those aren't well-noticed either.

I'm not good at responding to reviews. I don't respond to every review every chapter, like my good friend Jayfeattheris Awesome(go read her fics, they're seriously good). Since this was a one-shot series that would end fairly quickly, I decided that I will respond to reviews ONCE, and only ONCE; at the end of the fic. What you type into the review box now is what I'll respond to in PM, and I'll respond to a few of you other, previous reviews as well.

Now, A few of these chapters got little, to no, love. Chapters 11, 6, and 3 to be specific. I really wanted to know what people thought of chapter 6, but nobody reviewed it. Please, if you can, take your time and let me know what you thought of these chapters, please? I would really mean a lot to me.

What was your favorite chapter of this? Why? Which moments made you laugh, which ones made you cry, which ones made you want to go out and save the world? Do you think I should do this again, for when Destiny 2 comes out?

*sighs* I suppose now I must go crawling back to my lonely corner of the internet. Perhaps a few of you will tune in for the sequel to my Mass Effect one-shot, yes? And perhaps some of you will visit my lonely little pottertrek, yes? Maybe you can rekindle my fire for it... I have to kind of drag myself in order to re-write chapter five. It ain't pretty, it ain't going well.

Goodbye, and, as always...

Read and REVIEW!
