Murtagh was panting as adrenaline filled him. "Kylara, please. Either you, or Nicolae, or someone has to help me. Sera is not thinking straight at all. She's to the point of considering another War....against the elves. There's no way Sera would do that, much bad as you may think of her. She cares too much about her people. I think someone discovered her true name. She's got the same look in her eyes as it felt I did when her Father used my own. Please, you know I'm desprate or I wouldn't have come.,"Murtagh said. He rushed through the words, but hoped they made since.
Sera was in the throne room when it happened. Her back stiffened and she uttered the words,"Release Michael." She didn't want that...did she? Pain shot through her at the internal dispute, Michael putting a silence to all her own thoughts.

ky looked back at her mom and then nodded. she turned ro kyle and said "be ready to fly in half an hour i have to go get domething from a friend." with that ky disappeared into the trees. moments later she was back and holding something in an awkward bundle in her arms. as she mounted her mother said "be careful i don't know what i could do if i lost you." ky just smiled and said " i'll be back and then we can talk for days if we desire." then both dragons took off and Ky asked murtagh "what am i supposed to do? i could kill michal but would that really help. he is my step brother after all." after thinking for a minute she came to a conclusion. she contacted serenity who was some help. after their private conversation ky knew what she was going to do. she woud just have to get Michal sufficiently distracted to be able to use his ture name. the fact that serenity could even help her with that had surprised her but it did help and that way she wouldn't have to actually kill him she could just make him walk out a window. both dragons were going really fast and so urubaen came into veow just as the sun was setting.

"I'm sorry, kylara. But I didn't know who else to turn to at a time such as this. You and Nicolae are the most powerful elves I ever encountered. If anyone can help her, it is one of you.,"Murtagh said quietly. He followed Kyle until Uru'baen came in sight. "Kylara. It may be wise to come up with a plan of action beforwe enter the gates. From what I was told of Michael before I left, he is more ruthless than either Sera or Galbatorix. He'll do whatever it takes to gain some form of control in the Empire, but Sera never trusted him. I'm willing to bet he would kill his on sister in a heart beat."
Michael came up from the dungeon, chuckling. "Michael. How did you find my true name?,"Sera asked quietly.
"I suppose since I have total control of you, I can tell you. When my Ra'zac injured you, I came just after the elves left and cast a spell for sleep upon you. Then I sifted through you memories as father did when he searched for information. The memories gave me just enough information."

kyle slowed until they were both flying side by side. then ky looked straight at murtagh and said "i do have a plan. you will need to stay outside though. i will call you once i save sera. though don't be surprised if i'm not around when you get there. i am runing away after i save sera and tell her the information i gained from my mom." murtagh looked at her as if he wanted to disobey but then he just bowed his head and made thorn land. once Ky and kyle were far enought away to talk privatly kyle said "you know this is a suicide missionn right? there is a pretty good chance neither of us will makeit through the fight." Ky patted her friends on the neck and said "i know its just i don't know of anything else i can do. i will take out michal before i die though even if it is with my dying breath." Kyle was silent for a while then said "you know i've been thinking abouut that dream that you had and maybe your dad isn't dead. maybe he was just called away before you recovered." ky thought about what he had said and then she muttered "maybe we can investigate that once we're through with michal. i mena we've got all eternity to find out." kyle agreed and they landed in the court yard of urubaen. Ky stood on top of Kyles back and yelled " i am here to challenge michal fitzroy to a fight to the death. the fight will be on my terms and the winner decides the fate of the kingdom." as if in answer to her challenge and arrow landed in the dirt next to her with a message tied to it. the message said "find me and try to kill me if you dare. you know where i am elf so come and get me." Ky looked at her friend for a long moment before drawing her sword andwalking toward the door. right as she got there she spoke one snetence in the ancient laguage and kyle winced. Ky turned back to her partner and said " i'm sorry old friend but it is a one on one battle and your help would be considered cheating. then shhe began to clime the stairs. slowly at first but gaining speed as she neared the top. then when she entered the throne room she saw sera on the throne with this dazed look on her face and michal standing slightly behind her. ky readied herself and just as she met muchals eyes they charged at each other. the fight for the empire was on. who would win nobody knew but one thing was force certian this was going to be one long battle.

Michael rushed the elf, grinning. As far as he saw it, this battle was his. Because he had no problem cheating. He was channeling Sera's energy into himself, making himself stronger. Not that he needed that.
Serenity, please. Contact Kylara. Inform her of Michael's treatery. Sera thought despratly. She hissed in pain. Michael didn't like her communicating with Serenity. And for good reason. She stared at the ground. She tightened her grip on the arm of the seat.
Kylara, Sera has asked me to pass on the message. She cannot do so herself. Michael feeds from her energy stores. You must end this quickly. She never fully recovered from the poisons. Serenity said to only Kylara.
Michael kicked at Kylara's face when she seemed distracted for a split second.

Ky ducked and aimed her sword right at his stomach. he just barely missed it but she still scratched him leaving a trail of blood on his now ripped shirt. Ky grinned wickled at him while thinking 'i have one disfunctional family. oh well at least they are entertaining.' now the battle was going full force and both particapants were breathing heavily. then ky made eye contact with sera. the poor girl was desperatly weak so in one final attemp to end things ky rushed at michal and shoved her sword through his gut. he didn't even seem to have felt it but at east now ky had some time to free sera. her sister was abrely concious and when Ky got to the dias where the throne sat she whispered something in her sisters ear then turned back to Michal. she lifted her hand and just as she was about to finish him off kyle flew to the window. this distracted her just long enough for michal to get in one last blow. he aimed right for her stomach and sliced a neat line right through her. michal fell to the floor at her feet and said before he died "you win. the kingdom is yours fair and square." then he was still. Ky turned to look at her half sister then she collpased to the floor. she still had not fully recovered from her own ordeal and this newest wound wasn't helping any. she looked upp at sera who seemed to have taken on a new air. she seemed more in control but when the young queen looked down at her she could see worry in her eyes.

As Michael breathed his last, Sera felt the bond of her true name shatter. Never again, she swore. Never again would she use Murtagh's true name against him. That was a hell no one should be forced to endure.
Sera dipped into the stores of energy in both Galbatorix and Vreal's swords. And, once she could stand, she rushed to Kylara's side. Kylara, who had saved her life so many time, who had saved her Empire. She owed it to her to attempt to heal the girl.
She placed both hands over the deep gash which crossed Ky's stomach. She focused all her energy one repairing tendons. Rebuilding muscle. Reconnecting flesh. Shurikan and Serenity both gave their energy.
Once it was over, Sera sat down hard, panting slightly. "We're one step closer to being even, Elf. I still owe you more than I can ever make up for.,"She whispered through her deep breaths.

Ky looked at sera and smiled. " so I'm assuming you are not going to kill me? Oh and I have some kind of interesting news. I went to my moms place and you would never beleve what she told me. You and I are sisters sera ." ky watched for the queens reaction . In the back of her mind kylara was warding off sleep. She had not gotten much in the past day and was pretty exausted from flying all over the country and batleing her evil step brother.

Sera forced a laugh. God, she was tired. "Sisters?," She put her face in her hands and laughed again. "I have to say, this is the...strangest family tree I've ever seen."
Serenity (who had been filled in on everything by Kyle) reached out to Murtagh. He was within the gates, and in the throne room before Sera had time to catch another breath.
Murtagh could sense the exhaustion from both girls. he pulled Sera to her feet as her legs shook beneath her, and Thorn offered his strength so that she could stand alone.
"Murtagh, if I ever use your true name against you again, remind me of this night.,"Sera said quietly. Murtagh smiled and nodded a he offered Kylara a hand.
"And Kylara, although I understand if you do not wish to, you are welcome to stay until you have regained your strength. I will send an emissary to the elves in the morning to explain everything that happened here between you, Michael, and myself.,"Sera continued. She leaned against Murtgh, not because she needed the physical support, but for the emotional support. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered something about her needing to rest as well. Sera only nodded.

Ky looked fro one to the other then made her way to her rooms. once there she all but collpased on the bed. then she raised her head and lookked at the window. kyle was hovering with this worried look on his face. ky sat up and walked slowly over to the window. as soon as she opened it kyle pressed his face into her chest. "i'm so sorry", he said. Kyle continued no matter how any times Ky said she was alright . finally ky just held him there and tried to get hi to calm down. once he was he said "i thought he was down for good so i flew up incase you wanted to leave. i sould have known he wouldn't be that easy to kill. I...I...I..." Ky quietly stroked his face and said "you need to feed. go hunt i'll be fine, nothing will hurt e here and if it did sera would probably eat it alive." kyle agreed and disappeared into the night. then ky relaxed and fell into a deep sleep. it was around noon when she finally woke up and when she got a good look around she nearly jumped out of her skin upon seeing a person in her room. once she realized it was sera she calmed down. then she shook her head and asked "why in heck are you here. i just woke up and don't really like having people in my room."

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were here.," Sera said. She glanced out the window to Serenity, who shook her head in a very human way.
"No one has seen Kyle since last night. So we all assumed....,"Sera said. She cursed quietly. "Serenity, get Thorn and Murtagh. Fly a cycle."
The emerald creature shot from the ground with a trumpet. A moment later the ruby shape of Thorn joined her in the air. They went in opposite directions.
Shurikan added his worry to the mess of thoughts. Sera shook the thought from her mind and shut the older dragon out.
Thorn and Serenity skidded to a landing. nothing. Not one sigh of any dragon activity outside the pair of them. Serenity announced awkwardly.

ky upon hearing the news that Kyle was issing bolted from bead. she couldn't beleive this. he couldn't be gone. could he? she thought back to there conversation the night before he had seemed really upset so where would he have gone. and wha tif he was hrut or worse. no she wouldn't think abouut the if worse. she couldn't stand to lose another friend she had barely made it through losing her dad. Ky looked at sera and said "i need to go find him. i need to see for my self if he is hurt or dead i don't want one of you to have to tell me." sera just nodded and sent a message for serenity to be saddled. ky sat on the bed and starred into space. she was reaching out with her ind to try and fell his mind. then she felt something, she felt kyles mind. he was very weak and barely able to make contact. he was however able to send her a picture of where he was.

As Kylara's startled expression of hearing Kyle dropped from her face, Murtagh came up panting.
"The Varden and Elves are on a warpath, heading straight towards us. None of our envoys have returned. This is do or die, Sera.,"He panted. His eyes said that they had spoken of this quite recently.
"Kylara. Take Serenity and find and tend to Kyle. She's the fastest of the trio of dragons, even with Thorn's age. if this come to a battle and you cannot return before hand, I will lead our forces into battle astride either Shurikan or a proper charger. Go. Now. Murtagh, rally the troops.,"Sera said. She swept from that room and up to her own, where she changed from the lady's finery she wore into armor, worn by the Riders of old. She wore both the black blade of Galbatorix and the emerald of Vreal. On her back rested a bow and quiver of arrows, a back-up plan of sorts.

ky and serenity took off and flew towards where Ky had seen kyle. as they go closer ky started tapping into her stores of energy. once they landed ky immediately got kyle back on his feet. she didn't even ask what had attacked and gotten the better of him. after kyle was well enough to fly and fight ky mounted and took off. they had only been flying for about five minutes when they came upon the seen of the battle. ky looked down and saw sera, murtagh and their dragons fighting furiously. the empires was losing the battle and ky knew of only one way to stop this fight. she landed and chardgedright into the middle of the battle. she ran through the solidiers right ot where she had seen lady nasuada fighting from the air. as soon as she came up nasuada smiled at her but the smile fell when she saw that kylara was ticked off. Ky walked right up to her and said "stop the fighting now! if your looking for me obviously i' o.k. now stop fighting and let's fix this like people not animals." nasuada just looked at her then said "you are a very out spoke child and know not what you ask. sera has obviously brought you over to her side." Ky growled and said "sera has had a hard time the past few days. she isn't up to this type of thing. she barely made it through a fight last night. now please let's calm down and talk this over." just as she finished though nasusada pointed her sword at her and ky was forced to block attack. as she fought the leaader of the varden she knew this wasn't going to be easy. then something started screaing for her. ky listened to the voice and it turned out to sound lke sera. Ky quickly got away from her fight and ran towards where she heard sera calling from. once she got there sera looked up with tears in her eyes andky could see the problem.

Sera cried out as she felt Serenity's conciousness ripped from her mind. She swung her father's sword and took the head off another Varden before stumbling backwards, into Shurikan. Shurikan had refused to let her ride a simple beast like a horse into battle. Not when the Empire needed all the morale boosting they could get.
She cried out for the one person besides Murtagh who she trusted completely. Kylara.
Murtagh, she could see, was totally engrossed in another battle. She knew why he wouldn't be distracted from that bout. The Officer he was fighting had questioned not only Sera's strength as a ruler, but also her personal honor and parentage.
Kylara came to Sera's side. Sera, however, saw nothing. Not really at least. Her eyes were almost totally glazed over. She could hear faint whispers from Serenity, but she was not at or anywhere near the battlegrounds.

Kylara sent out a half a dozen peircing notes through her mind to call Kyle. He was by her side in a second but when he saw sera he became instantly worried. It told him to take sera and find serenity.Kyle nodded his head once and off they flew. Kylara got immediatly back into the battle and kiiled another six people before shruikan got her attention. Kylara turned to look at the ancient dragon who was injured and in a lot of pain. When kylara got close enough he explained what had happened to serenity. Just as he was explaining though nicolae came out of no where and attacked kylara. The two former friends went at it for a while until kylara threw nicolae into the ground head first. He didn't move for a while so Kylara was able to figure out exactly where she was. In the back of her head though she could still hear sera. They had found serenity and now sera was just talking to her dragon. Kylara made her way over to where the three were and when she could see serenity for her self kylara understood just exactly what had happened.

A pair pf deep gashes crossed Serenity's chest. Her breathing had grown heavy. Sera was on her knees by the dragon's side. Tears streamed from her eyes as she spoke gentle words to the dying beast.
So this is what death feels like, Serenity thought to Sera. The Queen choked back a sob.
"No wonder Father lost his mind.,"Sera whispered in response. ONly one being could've made those marks which showed in the change of scale color. Orange scales litter the fighting area. Gabriel.
Seranity coughed and from her mouth she expelled her Eldunari. You will not go mad, friend of my soul. I'm not going to leave you like that foul creature left Galbatorix.
Sera looked at Kylara for the first time. "Murtagh has pulled our men back. He has also announced surrender. He was forced to swear an oath that as soon as the Varden and Elves set up a proper rule, he must leave. And they search for me now.,"She said, tears still obvious in her voice.
She stood with the emerald-glowing Eldunari and held it out to Kylara. "I entrust you with this, my Sister. Because I cannot return to my home. I'll set out soon, wakling to the ocean And from there, who knows. Maybe I'll find where the Elves came from originally. But I won't remain here."

kylara looked at the emerald stone in her and turned back to the fight. Then she mounted Kyle and flew towards where she had left nicolae. Nick looked up as she flew over head and both he and gabriel took off to fight with kylara and her dragon. As they leveled out kylara said " why did you start this? I hate you. You have killed serenity and now sera is going to and do something stupid." then kylara pulled her sword and swung it in a wide arc towards nicolae. The dragon flew out of the way and nico receved just a glancing blow. Kylara continued to swing her sword and eventualy it did connect. Kylara looked into nico's eyes as he fell from his dragon. Then exausted she landed next to serenity though after a bit she could' t take it and so she got on Kyle and flew too the oneplace she knewshe would be safe. She flewhigh and fast but soon slowed to let Kyle rest. As they landed in front of her mothers house she slid to the ground and slowly walked to the door but as she arrived at the door she collapsed from exaustion.

A blood-curdling scream peirced the air, followed by the roar of a dragon. Serenity was dead. Sera blamed herself. Seranity was dead. Those three words repeated in her mind. Again and again. And Sera wept openly.
Another roar followed Serenity's and Gabriel followed his Rider to the ground, where they both died, much to the sadness of Nasuada and Islanzadi.
Sera knew she had to move fast. Serenity's death would not break her as Jormandar's had broken her father. She took everything from Serenity's saddle and mounted the horse Murtagh had sent to her. Then she set off away from her beloved home as fast as she could.

kylara looked up as her mom opened her door and helped her daughter inside. where ky explained the events of the past day or so. as ky finished her tale her mom got up and paced the room. then uch to kylaras horror there was a nock on the door. it was the queen and nasuada. ky gave off the most exaspereated sigh ever and as she left to go back to the castle with them she cursed quietly to her self. why in the name of every dragon and rider did she have to be so predictable. kyle answered her thoughts with "well you haven't really ever gone any wwhere else but your moms and the elf capital." ky roled her eyes and told her dragon very blatently to shut up and never answer rethorical questions. kyle after that was very quiet and s they landed in the capital. as ky enterd the throne room she looked around and saw that for once the usually packed room was comepletly empty except for themselves. she looked at islanzadi who then began to question her.
