In the aftermath of the cosmic battle, as we stand in the radiant glow of the Forest of Crystals, a quiet moment of understanding passes between Kari and me. The ethereal light of the crystals bathes us in a warm glow, and the air is charged with the remnants of mystical energy.

Kari, her eyes reflecting the depths of the Forest realm with its color,  she slowly approaches me with a subtle smile. "Princess Brenna," she begins, her voice a gentle melody, "our destinies have intertwined in ways beyond mortal comprehension with the Death Curse and your power. As the Elemental Elders' essences course through our artifacts, I feel a connection that has grown and it goes beyond the realms we've traversed. I know you harbor darkness in you let me help you survive this. I can't lose you to the darkness and I will see to it that it won't consume you. What we saw during the battle isn't normal power or magic. The only way you could have that is if you signed a contract or you were born with it. Her eyes met mine and I could see the pain in her eyes as her lips trembled I will not be the end of you Brenna I knew we shared the curse but trust me we can find a way to fix this, said Kira while she moved towards me. 

This may be her way of comforting me as I ponder my thoughts, but can I tell her the truth did she see me for me or does the touch of death carry I wonder? I'm used to servants and kids fearing me but I'm sure this is different I'm not a test subject who got locked away in a tower I am Princess Brenna I remind myself. But the real problem, did Kain not know the truth, or did he send me away on purpose? Either way, I need answers whether that be through a path full of bloodshed or not.

I meet her gaze, feeling the unspoken currents of our shared journey and my current thoughts, almost as if she can read my thoughts her eyes lower meeting my eyes. The Wyvern tribe and our companions respectfully give us a moment, sensing the delicate dance of emotions unfolding between us.

Amidst the cosmic tapestry, Kari reaches out, her hand extending toward mine. As our fingers touch, a surge of energy courses through us, a resonance that transcends the boundaries of the mystical realm. But as it touches my darkness I feel sick almost unclean, is it too late for me already? Am I already Damned? Sensing my change of anxiety I look towards the Forest of Crystals it seems to be shimmering with approval as if acknowledging the blossoming connection between the chosen Avaldsnes. Odd I ponder I try to shift my weight and not feel so shameless. Why does the light bother me? I must find answers or will my answers follow me? To get my thoughts in order I see Kari, 's eye change to yellow from her beautiful deep amber-brown hazel eye color. I see the green light up in her eyes with her pupils dilating. I could get lost in those eyes and to me, she is a goddess of beauty who doesn't deserve someone who will only bring death.

I start noticing that a soft glow is occurring in the crystals, seizing the moment I go for it. I pull Kari's chin up towards me and seeing the blushing a deep red color quickly overtakes her face. I am much taller than her but I think what could I do I wanted to pin her on the wall and take what I wanted but for now, this will do. I needed her to crave me as deeply as I do her, it's almost as if I crave her more than just physically I feel the all too familiar burn of hunger for her. For now, at least resisting the temptation is possible but the burning sensation I feel in my teeth as my canines grow sharper. Kari's heart beating is fast and quick easy to tell she is full of desire and her blood is pulsing as if it's inviting me in. Instead, I offer a tender kiss, a symbol of unity that echoes through the realms. My eyes change from a Golden Blue to a Deep Crimson Red. My hair with its deepblood crimson red is turning black on the edges.  Sensing the change Karis's eyes turn to Yellow as if threatening for my darkness to back down. I hear her hiss my way and I quickly gather my wits and a dark realization comes over me. As we break the kiss, I am hungry for more but is it the real me or the monster in me? Kari's eyes convey a depth of understanding, and a radiant smile graces her lips before she speaks. "The threads of destiny are woven not only in battles she says with a loud boom that fills the atmosphere with hope and almost a life of its own. In a whisper for my ears only, In a Flirtatious tone, Kira traces her fingers from my hair with a small tug tracing down my back. Let's have some quiet moments of connection let's play cat and mouse, shall we? Wait for me later by your tent," she says, only for me to hear. Giggling Kira walks away summoning Raven and Ragnar with her. 

Amidst the celebratory atmosphere, Leo and Freya, attuned to the subtle energies of the moment, exchange a glance. Leo, known for his stoic demeanor, takes Freya's hand, and in the glow of the crystals, they share also a heartfelt kiss and then begin to pull her into a closer embrace. Pulling her hair down with a tug almost making her beg for more. " Leo not here but you can tease me all you want later says Freya in a flirtatious tone as she traces circles on his chest slowly moving down. Shall we continue later plus your so-called cold heart melting don't tell me I'm warming you up finally. Show me the scars you so desperately hide with your stoic nature. The scars on your face I remember when you first got them.  Your body only makes me want you more, what say you elf" Her eyes move to meet Leo as she tosses her long green hair over her shoulders. Leo's jaw is clenching so hard as if it could break any moment seems he is biting his tongue. Freya is playing the beast and she knows it but is it love or a Siren calling? Leo finally breaks his silence, "Alright little siren you wanna play, Let's play put your spell on me and I know I have a hold on you". You will be screaming my name by the end as you always do". A cheeky smirk comes across Leo's face showing his white canines his gray skin comes to light as the sun shines on it and his white hair glistens with the light. "Remember your safe word little siren you have been a tease for far too long and I will not be gentle," he says in a deep growlish husky tone. Leo walks away proudly his whole demeanor and body language have changed he is standing taller and walking to join Kira. Seems the two have made fast friends at least someone else can deal with Leo's nature.

The Wyvern tribe cheers and starts to gather Food and Drinks for the celebration there will be quite alot of thirsty people tonight it seems.

Later in the night amongst the fire and stars celebration continues in Avaldsnes, where the echoes of eternity are interwoven with the joyous harmonies of newfound love. The destinies once entwined in darkness now stand not only as beacons of hope but as testaments to the enduring power of connection in the face of the unknown. There is singing, and laughing roaring through the village this is nice to hear on the ears and hopefully, I can finally relax we have been on the move and haven't truly let go in recent months. This atmosphere is nice versus the constant feeling of death looming over us.

As the sun sets over Avaldsnes, casting its warm glow on the village reborn, the ties that bind us have grown stronger, forming a celestial tapestry that transcends the boundaries of mortal understanding. Can I overcome my Dark Hunger for Kira and finally understand why I am the Death Queen what am I? What will the next realm hold for us? But I push those thoughts away as I proudly walk to Kira's Tent and see Rangar curled up on some pillows.

THE END... or perhaps the beginning of a new cosmic chapter, where the threads of destiny and love intertwine across the vast expanse of the unknown.
