We fallowed Kara through the tunnels till we reached a flit of stone stairs that lead us right into Einons bedroom. He sat on his bed waiting for us as the hidden door in the floor opened up. Bowen was the first out so he met Einon first. The two engaged in sword combat as Kara, Brother Gilbert and I ran out of the room.

"Go find my sister," I told Brother Gilbert, "I'll go and free my father while Kara goes and opens the castle gates."

They both nodded at me then we parted ways. Brother Gilbert ran to the dungeons, Kara made her way down another passage to the gates and I went down a different passage way to the court hard. The path was dimly lite so I was walking in the dark towards a small amount of light at the end of the hallway. I started running as I got closer to the exist, as I got closer to the exist I tripped over something summer-salting back to my feet I looked back over wait I had tripped over. What I saw made my heart stop. There lying of the ground was my mother with a spear impaled through her back and pointing out of her chest, her blood pooled around her body staining her white vain.

"Mother," I whimpered as I feel to my knees crawling to her side, "Please no."

Tears welled in my eyes as I looked over body seeing no sign of life in her, "Please no. You weren't meant to die during all of this. We were going to be free."

Tears fell down my cheeks onto my mothers body. I looked at her face and saw her eyes were still open. Sniffling I closed her eyes and lead closer to her face.

"I love you mother I always did," I whispered kissing her cheek then her forehead. Stiffening any more tears I got to my feet and ran for the exit.

While Ava, Bowen, Kara, and Brother Gilbert were inside the tunnels:

Draco laid there chained to the courtyard whispering assuring words in Dragon Tongue to his daughter as she stayed hidden under his chest. Suddenly there was the sound of someone groaning and spear feel to the ground.

"Come out of the shadows Aislinn," Draco said, "Come where I can see you."

Out of the shadows stepped Queen Aislinn. Sorrow on her face as she knelled before the great dragon, "You know why I have come."

"I know," Draco replied. Abiageal squirmed closer to see the queen, her mother. Abiageal had to admit the queen looked a lot like her sister but kept her hair hidden. She stayed hidden but stayed close enough she could see the queen with out being seen by her.

"My lord I must ask you something," the queen said, "It is about my youngest daughter."

"What is it," Draco said.

"Is she really alive, has she been happy with you," Aislinn asked.

"Yes she has been living with me and her sister for the past twelve years," Draco said with pride in his voice, "She has grown to become a strong fighter with a kind heart. Both of them have been happy as my daughter and I have been happy to be their father."

Tears streamed down Aislinn cheeks, "I wish I could have seen them both grow but it was all for the best I just wish I could do more for them."

"Watch over them when I am gone," Draco replied, "Please tell Ava that I am proud of her for what she has done today."

"Catherine," Aislinn said puzzled.

"When I took in your daughters I gave them new names," Draco smiled, "Catherine was renamed Ava and her little sister our light was named Abiageal. Ava prefers to called by that name ever since."

"I will tell her and Abiageal," the queen said bowing her head to him.

"Papa," Abiageal whispered in Dragon Tongue. Afraid she was right about what the queen was about to do by the way her father was talking.

Draco tried to lift his head to see the stars but the chains prevented him from doing so, "I can't see. Are the stars shining tonight?"

The queen looked up the back at Draco, "Brightly my lord."

"Then end this."

Abiageal covered her mouth as the queen picked up a dragon slayers spear. Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she watched as the queen lifted the spear up.

"I love you my light close your eyes and always remember I love you," Draco said in Dragon Tongue. Abiageal held in her cry as she closed her eyes waiting to ear metal slice through scale but it never came instead came her fathers roar. She opened her eyes to see the King leaning on the spear the queen had held and her father still alive. At seeing him she moved deeper under her fathers chest. Focusing more on hearing her fathers heart beat than what the two said she watched as the queen went into a dark area. The King fallowed her with the spear in hand. Draco then tried desperately to break the chains but to no use. The queen screamed out in pain and Draco roared in frustration. Abiageal knew to well what had just happen. Einon had murdered his own mother. Her mother was killed by her brother.

"Abiageal,"Draco whispered.

"He killed her,"she cried, "I didn't know her very well but still..."

"It is alright my child," Draco said, "It is alright to cry no one is here but me to hear you. And she did love you."

Abiageal cried queitly for her mother wishing she could have stopped Einon or could have at least shown herself to her so she could see her youngest daughter on last time.

"Papa," I yelled as I ran out of the passage way running to my father.

"Ava," Abiageal said crawling out from under father and ran to me jumping into my arms. We hugged each other tight. I could feel Abiageal crying into my shoulder.

"It's alright Abiageal," I said moving her so I could look at her face wiping her tears, "I'm here and I need you to go and look out for Bowen, Kara and Brother Gilbert they should be here soon,"

She nodded at me then ran to the other side of the court yard. I then started removing the chains that held down fathers head.

"You saw her," father said as I turned to face him after I removed the chains from his horns, "I am sorry I couldn't save her."

"I knew it would happen at some point," I said walking to remove the chains holding his right wrist.

"Now you have to do it Ava," father said with a serious look.

"What," I said stopping dead in my tracks.

"You have to end it all," he said.

"No," I said in shock.

"It is up to you," he said, "It is the only way to end Einon's evil once and for all."

"NO, NO," I screamed falling to my hands and knees, "I won't let you die not because of him. I finally have a family that doesn't hate me and I won't let anything happen to it. I won't let you die."

"You vowed to me that you would repay me for saving you and your sister," he started to say.

"Don't ask this of your daughter," I shouted as my tears fell to the ground, "Ask me to take my own life, ask me to part the seas, ask the impossible of me but not this. I would sooner ripe out my own heart and have my soul forever burned in Hell then end your life. Please ask anything else of your daughter."

"You never were my daughter. We were never blood," he shouted back.

"That never mattered. From the moment you named me I was yours. My heart was yours to do with what you pleased. My life was yours to choose when I lived or when I died. I was your child. I loved you Father and I still do. I will never stop loving you!"

In that moment I felt a fire burning in my chest. My heart was pounding in my ears. It was so loud like fathers heart when I laid against his chest listening to his heart but louder. My chest felt like it was burning but it didn't hurt it felt so warm. I then heard my sister scream. Spining around I saw Einon holding my sister with his blade to her neck. She was so afraid as he held the blade to her neck but her body glowed like a star despite her fear she kept a brave face. I then knew what I had to do. The feeling in my chest grew stronger got to my feet I held up my sword pointing it at Einon. I knew that despite my fathers words he loved us with all his heart and I did as well. I would ripe out Einons heart so father could have his but something told me that I could end him with out hurting father. I don't know why but I trusted that voice.

"Face me Einon," I yelled to him, "Lets end this here and now."

"Are you changeling me," he asked smiling.

"What do you think," I yelled back to him, "No more games. Just you and me. Lets see who the better swordsmen is."

"A fight to the death then?"

"Yes."

"You know I'm immortal you will lose," he said back. Glooting as always.

"Then you shouldn't be afraid of loosing then," I said back, "So let my sister go unharmed and face me unless you are scared."

He then pushed my sister to the side as Kara came into the court yard.

"Kara keep my sister safe," I yelled to her walking to center of the court yard. She nodded at me running to Abiageal and wrapping her arms around her protectively. Einon walked to the center as well with a smug look on his face.

"Ava don't do this," father shouted to me, "You can't beat him."

"Don't underestimate me," I said getting into fighting stance holding my sword downward to my side.

"I won't allow you to do this he'll kill you," father yelled. At his words I felt the fire in my chest burn brighter and fell even warmer.

I looked over my shoulder at father and smiled at him tears rolling down my cheeks, "I love you Papa."

Tears welled in his eyes. I smiled at him then ran towards Einon. As I ran at him the world around me started to move in slow motion. Father screamed out my name and pulled against his chains. Abiageal called out to me as Einons and my blade clashed and our battle started and the world went back to its normal speed. We swung at each other but each blow was dodged neither of us yielding to the other.

"It seems we are more evenly matched," Einon said swinging his sword at my mid section. I jumped back avoiding the blade.

"It seems we are," I said jabbing my sword at him. He jumped to the side but not before I cut his hip. Though it wasn't deep I still made him bleed. He swung his sword back at me. I blocked his blow and our blades became locked. Unknown to any of us an archer had set an arrow into his bow aiming it at me. It wasn't till he let go of the arrow that fathers saw him and blasted a fire ball at him sending him falling off the castle battlements, but not in time to stop the arrow. It all happened in slow motion to me. Einon smiling and managing to spin me around so the arrow would go into my chest. He held both my arms behind me so I couldn't block the arrow. I was frozen waiting for the arrow to pierce my heart. But before it could Bowen ran from the other side of the court yard and jumped in front of the arrows path. The arrow hit him instead he fell to the ground not moving.

"Bowen,"Kara and Abiageal yelled out as he hit the ground. I the swung my head back hitting Einons nose causing him to let me go and stubble back. I then swept his his legs causing him to fall to the ground hitting his head and stunning him. I then ran to Bowen, the arrow had imbedded in his left shoulder where Einon had stabed him a few days ago.

"Bowen," I cried as I ran to his side. He slowly sat but groaning in pain.

I kneeled by his side looking over the wound then broke off the arrows shaft, "Let me guess. You had everything under control."

"Shut up," he chuckled at me. I helped him to his feet chuckling as well.

"You are such a fool Bowen," Einon said sanding up.

"Lets get something straight here," Bowen said standing in front of me his body blocking mine, "I won't let anyone touch my queen and my princess. I will end anyone who dares to lay a hand on them or cause them to cry and you have done all that. I don't care if you share Dracos heart, I don't care that as long as he lives you live! I will see Ava smile again and I don't care if I have to die to do so."

He then charged at Einon grabbing my sword. He let out a battle cry as he ran at him. The two swords clashed together and the battle was on. I then quickly ran back to fathers chains and began to take out the pins holding the chains to the ground.

"Ava you have to do it," father said as I became frustrated with the pins and instead cut the chain that was over his back with my sword.

"I told you once I won't let you die," I said moving to the chain around his tail.

"I don't want you or your sister to suffer any longer," he said tears rolling down his cheeks.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as well as I smiled up at him, "Then live with us father. Watch us grow just don't leave us. Not till we have grown and you have seen your grandchildren."

He smiled at me, "Alright then."

He then broke the rest of his chains standing up turning around to face Bowen and Einon. At the sound of the chains snapping they stopped what they were doing at looked at father.

"Papa," Abiageal yelled breaking out of Karas arms and ran towards us. She ran up to fathers arm hugging it tightly, "I was so afraid. I'm so glad your free."

He smiled at her then looked back at Einon, "Surrender Dark Prince you have been beaten."

"I'll never surrender," he yelled back kicking Bowen in his stomach knocking him down, "As long as I have half the dragons I will never surrender."

"Then you are foolish," Abiegeal yelled out then ran in front of father spreading out her arms, "Father no longer needs that half of his heart he has us."

Einon kicked Bowen's face then charged at Abiegeal holding his sword up high.

"Abiageal," I screamed running as fast as I could towards her wrapping my arms around her as Einons sword came down.

"No," father roared lunging towards us just as the blade came with in an inch of my shoulder but it never came any closer because our bodies shot out a beam of white light.

"Enough!"
