"Rick. I'm okay, I think. Are you?" He heard her voice call out to him. "Evelyn?" He asked feeling towards where he heard her. The temple began to lighten up, and the dark faded. As their eyes adjusted. Evelyn gasped in shock.

The ceiling piece had just barely missed her. Because Rugnak, no. Jonathan had come to his senses long enough to push her out of the way. Taking the hit instead. His body was partially crushed under the stone. And laid in the center of the runes. The Bident was gone. Having vanished once the gate closed.

Rugnak had failed at gaining his powers back. And Jonathan had sacrificed himself for his sister. "Oh Jonathan..." She choked through tears as Rick held her close to try and comfort her.

Behind them stood Beni. Watching, as his face began to turn pale. His knees buckled under him and he looked like he was about to throw up.

"O'Connell, I feel weird..." Beni suddenly collapsed to the floor. His body trembling with a mix of pain and cold. "Beni...?" Rick realized what was happening. Keres was bound to Rugnak. And now that Rugnak had died. So would Keres. "You know something? Dying really sucks..." Beni whispered as his eyes closed and he stopped breathing.

Evelyn held Jonathan's hand, crying softly. "I am sorry for your brother. Truly I am. But he did break the curse before he died. Perhaps now, he and Keres will finally find peace in death." Ardith placed his hand on her shoulder. Evelyn looked up at him, then back down at her brother.
