Eve stood up slowly, looking around and noticing all of his friend's cautious and worried stares. Dameon and Darrow looked on him with concern, wondering what was to happen next.

He knew what he had left to do. He jumped into the air and flew over towards the place where he watched his life die. He found her body and lay down next to it.

Dameon's eyes suddenly blared to a very dark blue and he ran at full speed to the hospital.

Eve looked after him, eyes following him as he sprinted into the hospital. He motioned for Darrow to follow him as he quickly walked into the hospital after the clockwork skeleton. When they reached the front doors, a very tattered-looking orderly pointed them in the direction Dameon ran. They looked down the hall to see him leap up through a hole to the next floor.

"There was a lizard! Female! Pregnant! Which room is she in?" he asked an already terrified nurse who stuttered: "F-f-fifty â€"four."

He patted her on the shoulder and ran down the hall. When he reached room 54, he listened in and heard crying, but...it was no infant cry...

He burst through the door and looked in. He saw Holi lying comfortably on the ground with two bundles in her arms. She looked up at him, tears staining her beautiful face. They locked eyes and Dameon moved forwards slowly, careful not to make any noise.

"Dameon...they-" she tried, but Dameon put his finger to her lips.

"Don't speak," he said and looked at the two bundles. He moved a fold of the blanket back on one of them and looked at it. He saw its face, emotionless, expressionless...

"Holi...?" he said quietly.

"There was a...something went wrong..." she whispered. He looked past her, past everything, through everything...

"No..." he said and stood up. "I find happiness...and they take it away from me? I find love...and they take it away from me. I find peace...and they take it away from ME!" He screamed and threw an IV apparatus into the next room.

"Dameon," Eve started, standing up and putting his paw on Dameon's shoulder. Dameon shrugged it off and looked at him. "I know how you feel...this loss...it feels unbearable...you're not alone..."

"You don't know this pain..." Dameon said quietly.

"Oh don't I?" he responded. "Dirge took everything from me...my mate...my friend...and YOU took my mentor, Dameon. So don't you dare say I don't know what pain is! Last year I didn't even know this world existed! I was just a regular run-of-the-mill dragon working 2 jobs to keep my apartment up and running. Then, then you showed up and took my LIFE away from me! You TOOK my LIFE Dameon! So don't you DARE tell me that I don't know what pain is!"

Dameon looked away. He looked back to his children and Holi. Eve was still raging when he looked out the window and his eyes shot open. He bolted out the window and flew down a couple blocks, to a large pile of rubble...to where Cyllea lay.

"Cyllea?" he whispered quietly, tears surging to his eyes.

"What would their names be?" Dameon asked Holi.

"Dexter and Kerrigan," she said quietly.

"Cyllea...I'm sorry...I tried to get to you, but he was too fast..." Eve sobbed quietly.

"Ah! I should've been here for them! I should've been here to protect you..."

"If only I had been faster." They said in unison.

"My children..."

"My mate..."

"My life..."

"My love..."

Eveser's tears dripped onto his love, her body in odd angelic glow almost. Beautiful to death...

Dameon's pupils let flow two small, silver droplets of mercury onto his stillborn children and onto their cherubic death masks.

"I love you..." they said in complete chorus. Suddenly, a bright light exploded from Cyllea and from the children! It was a light that made Eve and Dameon turn away to keep from going blind. It looked strange to the others who saw them, for no reason, blindly cringe from the dead bodies of their loves.

After the invisible light had disappeared, Eve and Dameon looked at their lost loves.

"Did you see that?!" Dameon said to Holi and Eveser to a worried survivor. Both of them shook their heads.

"See what?"

They looked back at the bodies and thought...hoped...

Eve reached down and felt for a pulse, as did Dameon, feeling for breath...

They felt nothing...

Dameon began to shake a little with quiet anguish and sadness. Eve leaned down and gave

Cyllea one last kiss on the lips.

"I love you."

Dameon turned to his children and put both of his hands on either of their heads. He gave them one final goodbye when he felt a twitch. His pupils burned a furious orange.

Eve felt powerful warmth flooding through his mouth. He closed his eyes, for his mind was screaming for it to be so. He closed his eyes and let the warmth do what it wanted, move through his mouth, down his throat, around his cheeks, teeth, tongue...he opened his eyes, but two cool scaly claws shut them before he saw anything. He pushed his tongue against the warmth and felt it push back, tasted it, its taste of strong metal. Finally, he snapped open his eyes without worrying about the consequences. He looked into a pair of bright red eyes...the eyes that looked right back at him with the same love and compassion as they always had. The warmth left his mouth.

"I love you too Eve," Cyllea said quietly as the quiet sounds of newborns crying pierced the air.
