"Callum this ain't you." Rayla said walking forward.

"This has always been me. I just never realized it up until now." I say. 

I look at them.

"Callum this path is never a good one. You must stand down." Zubeia said.

"No. I will not stand down." I hiss. 

I turn. 

"If you don't mind, I have a war to prepare for." I say walking. 

"Callum please." Ralya said.

I turn. 

"And do what? Wait for you? It's been two years and every day was painful. So how about you do me a solid and stay out of my way." I say.

Rayla drew back. I slam my staff to the ground. The earth rumbled. The wind howled.

"I think you all should leave. This meeting is concluded." I look up at Zubeia. 

She nods. Rayla ran over to me.

"Callum. I am so sorry. Please forgive me." She said.

I push her off.

"Save your breath." I hiss. 

"Come along. We should leave." Zubeia said. 

"At least the great Dragon Queen has sense." I say.

Rayla walked off. Tears streamed down her face. She climbed on Zubeia. I watch as Zubeia shoots into the sky.
