It was an exited new day in Chima, a day a particular tribe had long looked forwards too. Today was the day the central spire was finally repaired, something the Eagle tribe was more than exited for.

It had been months since the Constrictai had began their efforts to amends for their actions. The Centra Spire, now more a tower than a spire, was the center of the eagle's kingdom. And while many of the smaller spires had survived, many of the eagles had been forced to relocated until construction was finished.

But that ended today, as many flocked over to the structure, eager to return it to its previous glory. Librarians busily reorganizing their extensive book collections while civilians tirelessly brought their belongings back.

For Eris, it was the moment she had waited for months, the time where she could finally settle down and relax. So, why was it that she couldn't, why was the worry in her mind refusing to let her be; she asked herself, burying herself deeper on her thoughts.

"Eris, dear! Are you there?" Ewald asked at her door, looking for her for some time now. "Yes! I'm here!" Eris replied with surprise, suddenly being pulled out of her thoughts, "Come in!" she said, settling down from the shock. Not one to waste time, Ewald entered her room, a look of relief in his features.

"Here you are! I was beginning to worry, no one could find you. I recon you're settling back in fine!" he asked, worried for her state of mind, she had been so stressed in the past few months.

"Oh, yeah! It's great to be back home!" she answered hurriedly, "Say what you want about their hard-headedness, those Constrictai sure know how to build!" she said in a joking manner, though the force of her smile betrayed her unease. "Yes! I wasn't so sure about the brickwork, but you must admit it makes for quite a distinguished appearance, if I say so myself!" Ewald added, glad to see her joking around again.

"Is that all, Sir!" she asked afterwards, becoming uncomfortable with the situation. Ewald caught up to it quickly, clear that something weighted heavy on her mind. "Eris is everything alright?" he asked softly.

"Yeah, everything's fine!" she said dismissively. "Eris!" Ewald replied seriously, unmoving on his stance. "I'm...I'm just worried about what happened yesterday! I know they said the orb just fizzled out, but what if it didn't! What if someone stole it! What if someone is planning and attack!?" she said frenziedly, her plumage fluffing up from the nerves.

"Eris, me and the rest of the tribe have been worried about you. We know you took it upon yourself to help during our brief exile, but things are different now!" he explained to her, voice full of concern. "Your sleep has been suffering, your stressed constantly, you've barely taken the time to breath!" he listed with concern.

"Please, take a break! You don't have to look after us anymore! Go spent the rest of the day with your friends!" he told her, practically ordered her, as she listened on attentively. He was right, she knows he was, but she was still unsure about, "Are you sure?" she asked hesitantly.

"Eris, as your father I order you to take a break!" Ewald said in a mock authoritative tone, one she understood instantly. "Thanks dad!" she said, giving him a quick hug before flying away.

Meanwhile, on a secluded part of the swamplands, a certain group of Serpentine were also having a conversation. "Alrigh, and there!" Nerium instructed, as a powered-up Silvia and Chan set down a rock slap.

"Whew! Gotta say, these Chi orbs sure make heavy lifting a breeze!" Chan pointed out with relief, stretching her back while admiring the faint blue glow. "Yeah, but it would be easier if SOMEONE was helping!" Silvia complained, throwing a pointed look at a certain Anacondrai on the corner.

"Aww, but where would be the fun in that!" Mei said fastidiously, setting down a plate of refreshments on the side. "Girls don't fight! This is supposed to be a stress-free environment!" Nerium intervened, keeping the piece as she put the finishing touches on her masterpiece.

"There, Nerium's all-natural spa is open for business!" she said proudly, stepping back to witness her hard work. All morning the friends had been working on setting up a makeshift spa on the swamps. Everything from basking spots, to headed mud baths had been constructed. Nerium's enate knowledge of chemistry helping in the process, as a variety of lotions sat in wait to be used.

She had even gone through the trouble of changing her entire outfit for a two-piece cloth bathing suit, as had others on her group. "Got to admit, looking good. For a swamp!" Silvia commented, earning a small from the others. "Now all we have to do is wait for the others to arrive, and we're set!" Mei said excitedly, hoping this would help take the edge off.

"Ask and you shall receive!" a voice announce from behind, as Cragger revealed himself, leading the rest of his friends towards the spot. "You made it!" Nerium cried out excitedly, running off to greet them.

"Welcome to my little get together!" she eagerly said, ushering towards the spa. "You mean the mud pile?" Worriz asked with skepticism. "You won't be singing that tune once the magic starts happening. Prepare to have all your stress melt away!" she said with surprising confidence.

"I'm sure it will?" Laval told her, still unsure himself but willing to humor her. "Yeah, just seems a little...messy?" Eris added, not having expected to be doing this when she wen to meet up with her friends. "Trust me, once we get started you won't want it to end!" Nerium usured them, excitedly guiding them forwards.

For any who knew her such behavior might seem as odd, but being the shy girl that she was had given her a deep appreciation for the spa. She could still remember the first time she stumbles into one so long ago.

Her grandfather had brought her, a conquest from their most resent assault, he knew how nervous she could be and wanted to help her. He had introduced her to that wonderous experience, to a way of letting her fears just slip away; she had loved it, wanting to spend every moment there. And seeing as her tribe was naturally inclined to swamplands, she learned to make do!

"Now! Take off your heavy armor and get in the mud!" she instructed them with a chipper tone. Following her instructions, the group soon emerged, their armaments safely stashed away.

"Alrigh! Now follow me!" she said, guiding them to individual mud pits they had set up before. Adding some drops from one of her vails into the mud, she helped each of them in. The mud bubbling with heat as the submerged, only their heads exposed.

"Oh! Ohhh, this is nice!" Cragger was the first to say, submerging even further into the mud. "And... the mud has special properties that draw out toxins from the body!" Nerium explained with pride, while blending a paste into a bowl.

"Now, who's ready to look ten years younger!" she asked, showing of her newest concoction. Now bothering with a relied, she placed the mud masks on their faces, before joining them in the mud.

"Ah, this is what I'm talking about." Nerium said with relief, her nerves melting away into the mud. "Yeah, got to admit. You sure know what you're talking about!" Silvia replied, adding two cucumber slices to her face.

"Want a refreshment?" Mei asked with a calmed voice, stretching the tray with her tail. "Yeah, I'll take one!" Laval said, the first of many to take a drink as they enjoyed their well-earned spa day.

"I really needed this!" Eris said from her spot, "The whole Golden Chi think had me pretty stressed out!" she admitted to the others, glad to let that out of her chest. "Tell me about it! You know people suspected ME of doing something! ME!" Silvia said indignantly, "As if a would do something like that! Not to mention I was with this lot for the entirety of the race!" she explained dismissively. Not caring much aside from the indignity against her.

"It is odd?" Eris agreed, "Do you really think someone could have stolen it?" she asked, letting her fears be known. "Nah, Dad said it jus fizzled out. You can trust him!" Laval said confidently, though it sounded more like denial. "Plus, if something does happen, we'll be ready!" he added with mock confidence.

"Yeah! We've been on wars before, we can handle it!" Cragger said, backing his friend up. "We can handle anything they throw at us! I'll be ok!" he said confidently, trusting his friends to handle anything that may come their way.

"But it's not, war is not ok. It's terrible. We lost everything in that war. Banished from our homes, exiled to parts unknown without hope of coming back. Force to start anew with the knowledge of all those lost!" Mei said coldly, a blank look on her eyes, "Wishing it had been you that died instead." she finished grimly, tears threatening to run downs her eyes.

Nothing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly did her best to change the subject. "Not that we have to worry about that stuff!" she said awkwardly, "I'm sure my uncle is doing everything in his power to keep the peace!" she assured them, eager to but this situation behind her, while her friends looked on in concern.

"Yeah, sure." Silvia told her apprehensively, "But seriously though, you okay?!" she added suddenly, but no answer was received.

Meanwhile, in the Lion Temple's council room, Arcturus was hard at work trying to maintain order. Order, and his sanity, "We need more stone for future projects for the tribes, but the rhino's refuse to part ways with "perfectly smashable" rocks!" Skalidor complained to the other Serpentine leaders.

"We'll ask for a formal meeting with their leaders soon, in the meantime perhaps you could reach some form of agreement. Maybe convince them to break apart larger stones and let you use the pieces. God knows their dumb enough for it." Arcturus said, the last part mostly for himself, as he struggled not to smash his face against the table.

"Huh, I never tough about that! Thanks!" Skalidor said gratefully, settling back down in his chair. "Well, now that that matter is settle, I suggest we refocus in our efforts to returning to our previous home!" Skales said, taking the opportunity to talk about more pressing matters.

Arcturus appreciated that, even if he was a bit more arrogant than he needed to be. "Yes, I concur!" he agreed, "With the Crawlers still on the cave system, it's too much of a risk for a normal burrow, which is why I believe we agreed that building a reenforced tunnel was the best course of action!" Arcturus reminded everyone, eager to move on from something else.

"Which is why we need those stones!" Skales said vigorously, "Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if we had a certain golden orb!" he pointed out with annoyance. "Skales, we already talked about this! The orb wasn't strong enough, it fizzled out!" Arcturus said patiently.

"Oh, to the pit with that! Don't tell me you believe that load of baloney!" Skales yelled out, "It's clear somebody stole it!" he accused, fill with righteous fury. "Oh, not this again!" the Fangtoms said annoyed, each head rolling their eyes.

"Oh, don't be so dramatic!" Skales said, "It's clear that none of us did it... one of them did!" he said indignantly, pointing to the window. "It's clear one of them did this!" he said accusingly.

"This event is their tradition! They have been doing it for generations. Why would they try to ruin it, why now?!" Arcturus asked forcefully. "Maybe because they finally have a scapegoat for it!" Skales cried back harshly, "It's obvious they don't like us, none of them do! And now they're just looking for an excuse to get us out of here!" he accused, angrily.

"OF COURSE THEY DON'T LIKE US! WHY WOULD THEY! WE DRAGGED THEM INTO MEANINGLESS WAR, DESTROYED THEIR HOMES, AND DECIMATED EVERYTHING THEY LOVE!" Arcturus screamed out in exasperation, "But of course we did, if there was one word to describe our culture, it would be CONFLICT!" he continued, not done venting just yet.

"Conflict with each other, with the humans, with the masters, with the tribes! Nothing but war, war, WAR!" he pointed out, each scream harsher than the last. "Just once, I would like our legacy to be something other than war. To give something the newer generations can be proud of." he finished, tired and dejected. The others left looking at him in silence, unwilling to break the silence.

"I think...I think we need a break. Take a five-minute interval, we'll meet back up here then!" Arcturus said with a sigh, exhaustedly slithering out of the room. "Well then...that was something!" Skalidor said, trying to break the tension.

Meanwhile, in another part of Chima, both Raggmunk and Blunk await the perfect opportunity to act. "Ahh! I can't take this anymore, how long are we gonna wait here? I'm starving!" Blunk complained, as normal, lacking the patience for such a task.

"Almost! We need to get this just right!" Raggmunk emphasized, unwilling to fail on this task. "Get what right!" Blunk cried in annoyance, "We are stalking the bears! They're already asleep, let's just walk in there and grab the chi!" he exclaimed, stepping out of the bush and gesturing towards the Bear Village.

As expected, everyone in the village was fast asleep, loud snoring filling the surrounding area. "Yeah, well... still! This is an official assignment and will be treated as such!" Raggmunk insisted, stubbornly resuming his post. "And... now!" he said, leaping from the bush and joining his non-amused companion.

"Alright, let's find the chi and get out before they wake up," he said seriously, determined to get this done. He sneaked around, careful not to be detected, while Blunk just walked out in the open.

"Now, if I were a bag of chi, where would I be?" he asked, searching around every corner. "Don't know, probably the same place as a non-chi-filled bag," Blunk said sarcastically too hungry to care at the moment.

"Would you please take this seriously!" Raggmunk complained before a loud thump came from behind him. Looked back in surprise, fearing for the worst, only to see it was a bear who was sleeping standing up and falling.

"Phew, that was close," he said with relief, quickly going back to the task at hand.

"Aha! Eureka!" Blunk said suddenly, making Raggmunk turn towards him with excitement. "Finally, some grub!" he said, noticing a jar of honey sitting on Elder Balkar's lap.

"Are you kidding me!" Raggmunk cried, stomping over to his partner, who was preoccupied trying to snatch a jar of honey from an old man. "Could you be serious for one minute!" he scolded, only for it to fall on deaf earholes, as Blunk continued trying to grab the jar.

"Oh, give me that!" Ragg said, snatching away the jar in a single swoop, causing Balkar to slump over revealing a bag of chi. The two Vermillion looked on slack-jawed, unable to believe their good fortune.

"Hah, hahaha!" Raggmunk began laughing uncontrollably, lurching forward towards it. "YESS!" he cried out with joy, holding on to the bag like it was the most precious thing in the world.

"Shhhh! You'll wake them up!" Blunk shushed him, enjoying himself to some of the honey. "Oh yeah." he replied embarrass, "Yes!" he whispered, causing the bear to stir up, sleepily lashing out and hitting Raggmunk with full force.

Sending him flying, he landed hard on the bushes, crashing with a loud metallic clank. "Raggmunk! You okay!?" Blunk asked, rushing towards him. "I think I landed on something!" he said dazed, before falling over unconscious.

Meanwhile, deep below the ground, the recently promoted Commander Machia occupied herself by watching the masses. Teams of Cobra Mechanics were hard at work pounding tons of scrap metal into weapons of mass destruction. Her lesser brethren restored the abandoned Basilisk siege engines into armored Vermillion Invaders, ancient Speedors into battle-worthy Vermillion Racers, and unique Rammers of their design.

"Ah, Commander Machia! I had a feeling I'd find you here!" Pythor's voice said from behind her, the exiled Anacondrai coming towards her. "Sir!" she said, turning towards him with a salute, only to find herself holding back an amused laugh. The General was wearing the robe Blunk had brought back, closed by his old belt, which he flaunted proudly as a status symbol.

"How might I be of service!" she said, inwardly struggling to maintain face, as she diligently awaited her orders. "They're coming along nicely, aren't they?" he asked, seemingly ignoring her words. "Yes, sir! They will be a force to be reckoned with, once we find a way to leave this place," she answered honestly, unsure how they planned to achieve that.

"Yes, well, all in good time!" Pythor replied, seemingly knowing what she was getting at. For now, I have something I wish to show you!" he said, a hint of excitement in his voice, as he ushered her to follow behind him.

Deciding to cut their losses, Blunk and Raggmunk went to try their luck with another tribe. Now the pair found themselves at the Rhino Quarry, looking down at the inhabitant's daily activities, mostly bashing rocks.

"I tell you Raggmunk, this is gonna be a piece of cake! These guys are so dumb they won't even notice us!" Blunk said with confidence, taking the lead this time. Tip-toeing down the quarry, they hid behind large stones, always keeping an eye on their prize.

A bag of Chi sat unguarded in the middle of the place. The rhinos occasionally grabbed one before plugging and rushing towards the nearest stone. Their hits made the ground quake and the dust rise, providing them with the ideal smokescreen.

Climbing the largest stones, the two Vermillion warriors stealthily crept closer. "This is it! Our lucky break!" Blunk said, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. "These buffoons won't even notice we took their orbs!" he exclaimed cockily, getting ready to climb down and rush the bag.

"Hey, everyone! I have good news!" a voice suddenly interrupted, as the Rhino Tribe Leader Rhigor ran in. "The snake guys will give us goodies if we break the big stones!" he said excitedly, pointing towards the large boulders the duo was currently hiding in.

"Hah, that's easy! I can break that rock, no sweat!" another rhino, Rukus, said eagerly, "Those snakes are real dummies!" he said confidently, plugging an orb. "Yeah, dummy snakes. Heh, heh, heh." His best friend Runk agreed, joining him in charging full force towards the rocks.

"No, no, no, nooo!" Blunk and Raggmunk pleaded before the rhinos shattered the stones and sent the pair flying toward the horizon. "Huh, talking rocks?" Rukus asked, confused. "Hah, stupid talking rocks!" Runk said, the two friends sharing in a laugh.

Meanwhile, walking through the squads of sparing Boa Destructors and tinkering Mechanics, the pair of Pythor and Machia reached the far side of the temple. "Here we are! Behold!" Pythor declared, as standing in the middle of a massive room was the metal frame of a large unique vessel.

"A ship?" Machia asked, trying to comprehend what she was seeing, her brief studies identified it as a type of bout, but she had never seen one this large or made of metal. "Not just a ship, an airship!" Pythor said with wonder, "This will be the crown jewel of our forces! A mighty metal behemoth that will soar through the skies, bringing devastation to any who cross it!" he explained, hyping up his mad creation.

"Impressive!" Machia had to admit, looking on with awe. "When will it be ready?" she asked, curious at the prospect of seeing it in action. "As soon as the chi is collected, it will be ready for your command!" Pythor explained, much to her surprise.

"Me? Are you certain!" she asked in bafflement, not believing what she had heard. "But of course! You have more than earned your command!" he said, complimenting her with uncharacteristic sincerity.

"Your find is the most important element in our entire operation!" he told her, practically beaming as he did so. "It will be the key for our legions to finally escape the confines of this place and claim what is rightfully ours!" he said as his features twisted into a maddening grin.

"Speaking of which, I believe it is time you meet our newest troops!" he announced, guiding her deeper into the caves. Entering the barracks, they came across four red Serpentines hard at training. "Attention!" Pythor cried out upon entering, the four warriors instantly falling to attention.

"Commander Machia, may I introduce you to Slackjaw, Tannin, Rivett, and Shen! The newest member of our Vermillion warriors!" Pythor introduced, gesturing to each one of them as he named them.

Machia observed them carefully, inspecting each one of them. The first two seemed like normal Vermillion warriors, but the other two were the really interesting ones!

"Slackjaw and Tannin are some of our most promising soldiers, strong, loyal, and unquestionable to their commands." Pythor explained proudly, "Rivett here is our weapons specialist, give her any weapon, and she'll show instant expertise with it. Clever, quick, and acrobatic, she can tackle several enemies at once!" he praised, causing the warrior in question to demonstrate by tossing a dagger perfectly on a target's center!

"Finally, the squadron leader Shen! Deadly, tactical, and ambitious, he shall act as your second in command of the group!" he declared, painting an impressive picture of the snake, "I'd keep an eye on him if I were you!" he whispered into her ears, warning her of the potential rival.

She narrowed her eyes at this, looking even closer at the potential treat. Shen was unique, to say the least, sporting no armor sake for a harness across his well-defined chest. He also wore a tattered black hood, keeping his long serpentine head away from sight. He seemed more like an assassin than a soldier, something that only served to further increase her suspicions.

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, I look forward to commanding you all in the field!" she told them, ensuring to show no weakness in her voice. She understood that such a thing would be suicide with a group like this!

"So, when will we be ready to move!" she asked the General, tired of waiting for the battle to come. "As soon as those bumbling brothers of yours return with their hull. We'll need every orb we can muster to power this army!" he declared, just as restless as his creations!

Having landed by the Sanctuary Forest, Raggmunk and Blunk reluctantly pick themselves up from the ground. "At least the trees broke our fall," Blunk said between moans, as he dusted himself up.

Noting his partner's lack of response, Blunk looked towards him with concern. "Hey, bud! You alright?" he asked, seeing him just standing there. "Munk? Buddy! Answer me!" Blunk said, becoming more and more unnerved by the silence.

"I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!" Raggmunk finally cried out to the heavens in frustration. "I just can't! We're never coming home! We'll be forced to scour this place until the day we die!" he said hysterically, his sanity slipping as he fell to his knees.

"All because we can't get a single miserly orb of Chi!" he finished defeated, knelled down on the floor with his head low and his arms outstretched. He suddenly felt something on his hands, looked up to see a shining orb of Chi upon them.

"Here you go, mister!" G'Loona said to the pair, an innocent smile on her face as she helped the two Serpentine out. "Oh, thanks?" he told her baffled, not knowing what to make of it. "Don't mention it!" G'Loona said, just happy to help someone in need, as she continued on her merry way.

"Well, that was something!" Blunk said, turning towards his friend, as the two watched the little gorilla go.

Back at the Eagle Spires, night had fallen onto Chima, as everyone prepared for a well-earned sleep. After a day of relaxing with her friends, Eris was now included among them, feeling as if she could finally have a good night's rest.

"You seemed much more relaxed than before. I reckon that you had a good time with your friends!" Ewald asked, seeing the young eagle eagerly make her way towards her room.

"Yeah, one of my new Serpentine friends made this whole "spa" thing, and practically melted all my stress away! Who knew mud could be so relaxing?!" she responded eagerly, having enjoyed her time today.

"Well, I'm glad to hear it!" Ewald said pleased, the Eagle leader letting her get back to her nighttime routine. Something Eris appreciated, as she happily buried herself beneath the covers, as feelings of warmth overtook her. She didn't know why, but she could feel her dreams would be filled with warmth tonight, she looked forward to it!

Meanwhile, back beneath the ground, Raggmunk and Blunk decided to take the long way back to their hideout. "Come on Munk! Cheer up, this is great!" Blunk kept telling him, naively optimistic about their situation.

"We have TWO orbs, Blunk! This mission was a complete failure!" Raggmunk told him, not looking forward to the scolding they were about to receive. "Best case scenario, we get to leave with some new supplies and our dignity in pieces," he told him, his pessimism at an all-time high, not made any better by the cold all around them.

"Well, what are we supposed to do!" Blunk snapped back between frigid breaths, "It's not like Chi is just going to fall out of the sky!" he said, just as orbs of Chi began falling from the roof of the cave.

The two of them stared blankly at the glowing orbs before smiles slowly crept on their faces. "I'll grab the bag!" Raggmunk cried out excitedly, while Blunk just began carrying as many orbs as he could. "They're going to be so pleased with us, they'll probably promote us to Generals!" he cried out, adding more and more orbs to the pile.

Unbeknownst to them, not all orbs rolled their way toward their crevice, as some remained stuck in the upper sections of the cave. Their power slowly zapped away by the icy figures on the walls.

Back on the main encampment, the two regal serpentine figures argued over their next course of action. "I grow tired of your stalling Pythor! My vengeance has waited long enough! We must strike the surface dweller now!" the ancient Serpentine enchantress commanded, the fire in her eyes burning higher.

"Stalling, you say! Without my siege machines, it would be only a matter of minutes before their forces overwhelmed us! We simply don't have the numbers for a head-on assault!" the General argued, having had far more experience than the wannabe queen could ever hope to have.

"Bah! These machines are nothing compared to the might of my magic!" she exclaimed, casting a small spell to prove her point. "Magic that, by your accounts, is next to useless without your staff!" Pythor reminded her, finding enjoyment in bringing the ancient monarch down.

"How dare you!" Aspheera began before the commander intervened in a vain attempt to keep the peace. "Sir, Raggmunk and Blunk have returned!" Machia informed them, for once glad at her brothers' involvement, they could take the brunt of their wrath for her.

"Ah, so I see you have returned!" Pythor said, a hint of exasperation in his voice, as he noticed the two warriors entering the room. Accompanied by Aspheera, the two leaders made their way towards them.

"Sir, your Highness, I believe we have something you've wanted to see!" Raggmunk says with excitement, eager to show them the fruits of their labour. "Oh, have you brought more garments for us!" Aspheera said with sarcasm, not expecting much from them.

"Hah, hah. No, your eminence, not this time! Behold!" Blunk said, slightly embarrassed, as he and Raggmunk showed their haul. "Oh my..." both leaders said, looking on in amazement, as they laid eyes on a satchel filled to the brim with Chi orbs.

"Yes! Finally, my revenge is at hand!" Aspheera cried out with delight, "Pythor, bring me the orb!" she instructed, as the General begrudgingly did as he was told. Moments later he approached, the orb of Golden Chi in his hands, as he handed it to her.

Clutching it with force, Aspheera channeled her magic into it, instructing the mighty orb to encompass the entirety of the temple. With a loud groan, the soil began shifting around them, as the ancient structure rose from the earth.

"Finally, after all these years! I'm back!" she declared, as the massive pyramid-like structure sprouted from the surrounding marshland of the Outlands, announcing a new era for these lands.

While down below, the tremors awoke something, a massive glacier beneath the ground revealing itself to the elements. With no more trench to fall, the stray orbs rolled ever closer to the ice, where long-slumbering warriors awaited their return.

Glowing blue eyes open, and one thing becomes clear, a new era has begun. Whether they like it or not!

Author's Notes:

Foreshadowing, uhhh! Seems like some certain warriors might be making an appearance sooner than we thought! Aspheera is finally free, and the Vermillion are establishing themselves, things are looking pretty grim for Chima!

Now, on to more pressing matters, my computer is having some issues, so I won't be able to publish as readily as usual. I will still try to write whenever I can, just don't be surprise if it takes a little longer to update. Still, I didn't want to leave this storyline without a good end, so I tried to finished this chapter.

I hope you enjoy it, and until next time!
