Zeno stared into the violet eyes of the light of this life. Her eyes were swimming with tears of happiness and he couldn't help but feel his chest expand to fit his pounding heart. He let his hand down to rest atop of the small soft ones in her lap. He looked down and raised her left hand for him to examine closely. Her gaze followed his, and she smiled softly at what he was looking at.

The scar on her hand was something that Zeno always felt connected to since the first time he saw it. "Yona, why do you have these scars?"

She sighed and ran her free hand through her hair. "I... I was scared Zeno. You guys were trapped and I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't hear anything over the crowd. It felt as though I was in the middle of an impending war. In some aspects I guess I was." Her eyes softened as they drifted to the full moon shining above them. "I didn't know what to do. No one could hear me and I could barely say anything because of how much it h..hurt." Yona's voice cracked as she remembered her own screams tearing through her throat. It tore through her so bad she could practically feel layers of flesh bring rubbed raw after only a few screams. "I could only whisper. The only person that I felt who could help was Hiryuu. I should of known that Ouryuu would have tagged along. Even when I was speaking with Hiryuu, Ouryuu never was too far away from him. When they appeared, I decided to reach out and touch them. I could feel the pain that Hiryuu was feeling."

Zeno nodded and looked at her face. "How was King Hiryuu in pain?"

Her eyes saddened as she closed them to the outside world. Looking within herself, she found the two dragons still dancing along with her soul. "He felt bad because of how much pain that I was in, but he also was in pain for his people. The division that he saw within his own castle walls broke his heart. So, he asked me if... if he could... help relieve my pain and I could relieve his. Ouryuu didn't want to leave his brother so he decided to support me in my efforts towards helping you Zeno."

His eyes widened. "So Ouryuu and Hiryuu..."

"Are within me yes. They didn't want to interfere originally, but they just couldn't stand it." She giggled. "I guess they couldn't stay away for very long."

Zeno laughed along with her as he scooted closer to her and placed an arm around her shoulder, guiding her head to rest on him. "Hiryuu could never stay out of anything for too long when he was alive. Even when we convinced him to stay behind while we handled smaller tasks for him across the kingdom he always found an excuse to come along."

They sat in each other's company for the rest of the night. Yona dozed off onto his shoulder. He managed to carry her into the tent. He had to break his arms so he had the strength to do it since he was just as small as Yona was.

He understood why Yona needed to go to the shrine. Her destiny has always been tied to the dragons. He suspected that they knew something was going to happen that would warrant the need for a fifth dragon. Zeno couldn't help but feel apprehensive towards that reason. Whatever the future held for him, his 'brothers', and his newly gained 'sister', they would be able to face it together. The red dragon may have returned from the dawn, but what that truly entails could only be told through whatever was coming their way.

Her power was dangerous as it was fitting for her. She could sense the life force within everything around her and manipulate it to burn brighter and hotter than the sun itself. A contained flame, that never hurt anything around it. That was Yona. She fought against what needed to be fought against and led everything else away from the danger regardless of her own safety. She was an untouchable flame, born from a life of luxury, and molded after a life of regrets. He could only hope, that the rest of them would be able to keep up with her. As long as their guiding light burned brightly, he was certain they would always find a way.

Author's Notes

Alright, that is all that I have. For now, I will be leaving this story as a completed work. If I ever get any ideas in the future, I will definitely add to it. For now though, I think I can leave this off here. If you have suggestions, PLEASE, let me know! I will give credit to anyone that I received the idea from. I hope the end of this wasn't too disappointing, but this is the best tie up that I could come up with.
