Just the moment, Scarlet heard him, she realized that only Emerald was immune to Wolfsbane. In the blink of an eye, many of the werewolf soldiers were paralyzed and many were dead with amputated heads and legs. Scarlet looked at the pouring clouds, "OSIRIS, Burn." Her order was not something to be considered again and Osiris complied instantly burning her figure radiating immense heat that rose in millions of flames reaching up in the sky under the downpouring clouds. As soon as the water droplets touched flames, they became heat and evaporated into the air.

Oz approached Scarlet who was assisting Osiris,

"Tity, the air will be filled with Wolfsbane vapors soon choking all our soldiers." Scarlet heard him and said,

"Go. You know what to do." Oz didn't wait for another second and flew away in the sky flapping his giant wings and collecting all the air underneath them. Within some moments, all the Wolfsbane vapors were sucked and thrown away in the upper air by Oz. Evanora stopped chanting and found everything normal.

She spared Scarlet a look who was perfectly busy in shielding all the soldiers. Evanora then switched her gaze at Emerald who was still occupied in the fight with Dankein. Only his arm was injured and Dankein was bleeding from his both arms and stomach. "Already injured badly, Valor." Saying this, Evanora directed her steps towards Emerald casting a fog spell and making it impossible for anyone to see her. In no time, she was standing dangerously close to Emerald who was still in his wolf. Taking the weapon out of her gown, she looked at it closely reading its sharpness and imagining the amount of blood it would draw from Emerald's body. Satisfaction. She felt satisfied with the thought of Emerald's death.

"Shit! Where is Evanora?" Mara questioned successfully grabbing Scarlet's attention. That's when Scarlet remembered the words of that Snake-charmer. But before she could utter any words, the Snake-charmer's voice flooded her ears,

"She is going to kill Emerald, Sedna. Save him. Now." As soon as he said that, Scarlet yelled for Oz to clear the air and ran towards Dankein and Emerald. Both the men saw her running figure with thousands of worries flowing down her face. The wind was gushing making her hair fly in all directions. To Dankein, she looked like his little rat. A dream. To Emerald, she looked like the one going down for his safety. He realized the danger and looked behind finding Evanora standing just ten steps behind him. He narrowed his brows and prepared himself for her attack when his eyes captured the dark smile her black lipstick studded lips gave him. Death! His eyes found the weapon. Before he could do anything, Evanora lashed the weapon towards him and Scarlet yelled, "NOOO...."

Scarlet moved in the speed of wind with Mara's sudden help and stood in front of Emerald before he could even notice and the weapon was inches away from her when Dankein blocked the attack. The sharp weapon pierced his body and emerged from the other side.

Behind him was standing Scarlet releasing all the water from her body to weaken the force of the. The 'Red Moon Mate Mark' on her neck shined and emitted red moonlight with some blood drops joining the water that Scarlet was channelizing from her whole body. Osiris blocked the girl's figure letting all that water-moonlight-blood shower pass through her body and poured down all her flames into it.

Suddenly, A man's dark voice was heard, "Calistaaaa....."

Oz witnessed him giving up his shield power to create a covering around the people blocking Evanora's blocking weapon. She was none other than Herbew, Calista AKA Scarlet's brother from the previous life.

"The last element. A vampire's shield, Sedna. Blow it." Scarlet heard the Snake-charmer again and loosened her body weakening her attack. Behind her, Emerald was flapping his wings and howling looking at the sky strengthening that powerful force with his blood joined in the water.

The moment that weapon emerged out of Valor's back, he dropped down over the ground with a thud with affection in his eyes and looked at Scarlet for one last time whimpering, "Take care of Alfie, Little Rat...."

He died and his body turned into white ashes spreading in the wind with some fragments joining the thrashing force of that power surge from Scarlet's body. The weapon punctured down that protective shield of Herbew landing him miles away and then stabbing Osiris. Her Phoenix body wasn't immune to the Gold coated weapon and the burning flames died down with her last whimper coating the weapon with fire after the Vampire shield.

Evanora was pushing the weapon more and more with every passing moment and Scarlet was adjusting to its force. One after the other, it punctured all the layers of elements getting a coating of Blood, Moonlight, and then water only to stop at Scarlet's navel. Everything halted when Scarlet let out a loud grumble. Darkness crept everywhere and Emerald felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Oz and Mara gasped along with all the werewolves hearing Emerald's howl. He howled for his mate, his queen, his Luna, who was lying over the ground drenched in blood flowing from her body, whimpering.

Emerald immediately tool Scarlet in his arms and Hughes her tightly blabbering something nobody could understand. Dankein and Osiris were dead and Herbew was unconscious with the sudden blow, while Scarlet was bleeding. Her eyes held love, care, affection, and satisfaction that she saved her love.

"Scarlet..! Baby, open your eyes, look at me. You will be fine. It's alright. I...will take...you...home. We must get...married, babe. Please..." Emerald said in between the sobs looking at her. Her navel was bleeding. Oz and Mara stood around her while Sammer and Jack dropped on their knees followed by all the werewolves. The Dream-catchers had already stopped fighting after the demise of their king.

Scarlet saw the snake-charmer still standing beside her head. At this time, she could witness his soul. She was drifting into the realm of souls and leaving the mortal world. The Snake-charmer's eyes held guilt, but still, it was not over. Scarlet nodded understanding. With great difficulty, she touched Emerald' cheeks with blood-stricken hands,

"Emmy, take it...out." Emerald looked at her horrified. He knew that only the weapon was keeping her alive. He won't lose her, not so soon. Witnessing the confusion in his eyes, Scarlet mustered up the courage,

"Emmy, I had snatched all the memories from Evanora while blocking the attack. She...don't remember anything... before today. I poured... all my strength...h for wiping her...r memories with one look. Take...put the weapon...and drive.....it...right through....her heart. You...know what...to do after...that. Please...don't let my...sacrifice go to...waste..." While she said all this, tears never stopped flowing down her eyes and turning into pearls. Precious priceless Pink Pearls!

"Why? Why did you do this? Damn it. WHYY...?" Emerald yelled, but his voice died down and remained a whisper. Scarlet shut her eyes murmuring, "ANYTHING...FOR...YOU...!"

"NO....Scarlet, Luna...you... You can't leave me like this. Open your eyes. Babe..!" Emerald kept patting her cheeks and kissing her face, but she never responded. All the werewolves dropped their heads down and then howled for this loss. Witnessing Emerald losing like this, Luke stepped forward Patty g his shoulder,

"She isn't dead, Alpha. She is in a deep coma. We can get her back. But if Evanora escaped now, she would never be killed. Kill her. Luna will be taken care of." Hearing Luke, Emerald's eyes beamed with hope. He knew Luke had been fighting with him since the day they were first attacked by Dark souls. How could his Grandmother let him suffer alone!

Nodding his head, Emerald looked at Scarlet again with love. Grabbing the weapon in his right hand, he leaned into Scarlet's neck and inhaled her scent. The little red moon mate mark was no longer shining. With every ounce of courage, Emerald pulled out the weapon from her navel and a gush of blood oozed out drenching her white waistband. The girl didn't even flinch. Emerald reminded himself of Luke's words.

Witnessing his life lying lifeless in this deserted land, his eyes went blood-red and lavatic. He howled loudly. His tone filled with hatred, revenge and his body emitted death. Death of Evanora. The weapon in his hands dripping fresh drops of Scarlet's blood shined red and he marched towards Evanora who stood blankly not noticing how she ended up on the battlefield.

But registering Emerald lashing towards her with his huge flapping wings, she started throwing all the fire, water, and airballs she was left with. Killing all the distance between them, Emerald came dangerously close to her. He smiled a sinister laugh. "Impressive! I will make sure to let Scarlet know that you died with fear and not bravery, you Witch!" Screeching that, he drives the blood-stained weapon into Evanora's heart making her eyes almost drop out of her sockets. She gagged and struggled for air. Emerald started moving the weapon in her heart cutting the organ from within making the witch cry out loud in pain. His smile never left his lips. He was feeling satisfied with the horrible pain Evanora was subjected to.

Soon, a dense dark smoke started fishing out of Evanora's mouth when her eyes kept glued to the sky with her face losing all its beauty and turning her into a corpse. The smoke left the battleground into the sky and her heart stopped dripping blood. Nothing was left of her. Just some calcified bones. With a sudden jerk, Emerald pulled out the weapon from her body ejecting her beating heart along with smeared over the tip of the weapon, and kicked her skeleton that turned into sand. The black heart kept beating and Emerald howled turning into his wolf form. Like, Oz, Mara, and all the wolves witnessed this horrifying scenario. It was soul-shuddering. The way Emerald killed Evanora was merciless and heart-wrenching.

Alfie, who was roaming around the spot where Dankein's head body was lying a while ago ran towards Emerald and scanned the weapon and black beating heart. She let out a wail, a sorrowful whimper, and the second moment, she attacked that beating heart ripping it into pieces and eating away all of it leaving nothing. Licking the weapon, she left nothing of Evanora's heart and the remaining piece of her soul.

The cat snuggled into Emerald's wolf who shifted back to his human form. He took Alfie in his arms and was about to approach the lying Scarlet when a dense smog took over everything blocking his visions and everyone else's.

Oz flapped his wings to clear the place but in vain. After half an hour's struggle, when the desert cleared of all the smog, Emerald roared like a madman,

"Scarlet....!" But the girl was nowhere to be found except a pool of water at the place where she was lying a while ago. The only thing Emerald was left with was their memories that were going to haunt him for the rest of his life.

"Sister, we...we need to help them. Scarlet...she...she is..." Choice whined standing uphill in The Witmourn Raft desert witnessing the horrible war with her sister Destiny. But Destiny kept on looking blankly at everything as if she had never predicted this outcome. Choice whined again in between light sobs, but Destiny glanced at her face, wiped away her little tears, and said,

"No. We can't. It's her fight. We are onlookers, Choice."

"But sister, you can write something in her fate. She will live longer. I don't want her to die," Choice nagged and was stubbornly going to rush into the battlefield when Destiny grabbed her wrist halting her, "She made her Choice. We can do nothing."
