I walk to the heart of the forest. The gears were moving. I know she's here. I see her. I see the very horse that I saw fifteen years ago. It pranced around me. I grip my sword. I see anger in the horse's eyes. Of course. It dances around me.

"You can stop hiding in that form. I know what you are." I say.

I didn't expect that to work. I'm surprised as it turned into a tornado of smoke. I watch as the very witch who took my parents from me blooms out of the shadows.

"It's been a long time. You haven't changed a bit." I say circling her.

"I see you've grown." She said.

I grip my sword. No more running. No more fear. 

"You have some nerve to come back here." She said.

"You sided with the Nether King. What were you thinking?" I ask.

"What were you?!" She yelled at me.

She moved closer to me.

"You were selfish back then and you are selfish now." She said.

She reached for me. I move away from her. I block her hand with my sword. She winces and moves her hand away from me. Her eyes were glaring into my soul. I charge at her. She charges.

Stella woke up startled. She looks around frantically. She sees a trail of blood.

"Rain!" She yells waking everyone up.

"What happened? What's going on?" Ciara woke up startled.

"Where is the Dragon Tamer?" Lord Patrick asked.

"He's gone by the looks of it." Kane said standing up. 

"I think I know where he's going. God. Sometimes I worry that his pride is bigger than his brain." Lord Patrick said putting on his helmet.
