Whatever was on the other side of that answer was already forming and the phone had cut it off like it was convenient. There was something nobody was telling me. I could feel the shape of it. A gap in the middle of everything, something that all the answers were bending around without touching. Arianna's story didn't quite hold. Viktor's loyalty didn't quite make sense for a man who had done what he'd done. And the Rafael Moreno line — I had pulled on that thread enough times to know it was attached to something that didn't match the story. I just didn't have it yet, but I would.

Let me take you to the history, I mean that time when Ard was not united. Before the appearance of the first king. Because the last time we had a good ending. Ending that every narrator loves and every reader hates. Suspense and a question, so I thought you need a rest from that and I brought you this new arc in which I'll tell you every detail of Ard's beautiful landscapes and the mysteries of its people. I have been here in the Ard from even before the beginning of time and I witnessed every single thing. I know more than any ardian. I am like air, it's everywhere. I am the narrator, you see me here and I'm nowhere.

* *FLASHBACK* * (Zarnak's voice over) "...It was a long time ago, two thousand years back, I was once a little dragon who dwelled in the dragon’s kingdom.

He went down the wrong path and sold our secret to Therak, Therak ambushed us and stole the dagger..."

She had no one to talk to, but with Mercedes, she felt safe. " It's a pretty long story, but I'll take you around it." Mercedes began telling Yuna her story with Drakoen and how everything came to be. Telling her that story reminded Mercedes why she had to finish this tale. She had to defeat Drakoen in order to honor her fallen ancestors and get her life back. The more she thought about it, the more she was afraid. That conversation brought back the memories she wished she would forget. The bloodshed she had to witness and the pain of being so helpless to do anything.

I look at Arkyn laying in the middle of the water and starting to stir; today, he turns five years old and will awaken once more. He looks just like Fenriz, but my Asian features are prominent as well, especially the shape of his eyes. I've allowed his hair to grow out too, just like his father's. The last few years have been hell but worth it in the end. This morning Hikari climbed the snowy mountain, and when she put her hands on Arkyn, a bright smile spread over her face.

We have almost two weeks until your birthday and because of Hades awakening, we need to be as far away from this pack as possible when it happens. If not, they will know who you are and they will stop at nothing to get to you,” Bradley said, his game face also in place after seeing I wasn’t on the verge of an emotional breakdown anymore. Turning to everyone, I squared my shoulders exuding confidence and said, “All right, boys, let's do this.”

The only condition was that I would stay on as team leader as per Avanah herself because apparently, I can clearly see her vision. Balls. Five years around Elijah and Avanah; five years of seeing them together. Avanah hasn’t been in Las Vegas for me to meet her, but we’ve spoken over the phone. I haven’t met her in person yet, but tonight I will. I’ve played it cool around everyone and hid my emotions well, but I have a feeling tonight will be more difficult for me. Especially since Bjorn isn’t back yet. The rogue issue is getting out of control in Norway, and Arkyn has had to send in more warriors to help. It’s only a matter of time before Arkyn has to go over himself.
