(The Fellbeast is finally completely eaten... It licks it's lips, enjoying the dark energy it gained. The fires flicker out. Dustin comes down from the castle and sprints to the End demon.)
Dustin: "Take me!"

(The demon turns to them. It lowers it's head and opens it's maw, ready to eat them as well. Romulus and Octavian breathe heavily, the fire drained their strength. The End-ling doesn't mind taking them as well. Dustin keeps sprinting at it. Knight sees Dustin and runs as well. Dustin is tired of being hurt. He wants to heal now and rest.)

Octavian & Romulus: ".........."
(they have nothing to say. Dustin runs up to the demon and jumps in it's mouth, followed by Knight.)

(They turn away from Ezmel. Sophos would not have wanted them to hurt Ezmel, they believe.)
Octavian: "Just go...."
Romulus: "Leave us, Ezmel...."
Octavian: "W-we have to bury our grandson..." *starts crying*
Romulus: "........." *silently cries*
(The demon looks at Ezmel...)

(The sigil constricts the End demon. It hisses and returns to the End with Dustin and Knight.

Octavian and Romulus go to where Sophos' body is.... but he isn't there! The search for the corspe stealer, but no one is there. Now they are REALLY upset. WHERE IS HE?!)

(Sophos stands on the roof. His hair is slightly grayer than before. One of his 4 hearts is dead. It is dark gray and doesn't beat. He watches Octavian and Romulus look around. He misses Ezmel....
He woke up earlier and Ezmel was gone. He heard sceeching but it has stopped now.
He looks around for Ezmel sadly. He doesn't call out. His voice hasn't worked since he woke up. He is confused. He was so cold.... Ezmel! Where are you?!)

(Sophos calls out with his mind: Ezmel! Ezmel! Where are you?! Come back to me! Ezmel, I miss you!
Romulus and Octavian haven't notice Sophos yet.)

Sophos' mind: "Ezmel! Come back to me! I miss you! Come back!" D':

(Sophos whirls around and hug/tackles Ezmel. Happy tears come down his face. They are dark silver... He holds Ezmel tight.)

(Sophos hugs tightly, never wanting to let go. He is still cold. He clings to Ezmel. He wants to warm up, as well. He loves Ezmel.)

(Sophos doesn't let go. He doesn't want to leave either. He'll stay. He's happy being around Ezmel)

(Sophos looks back. His eyes are darker gray. But they are full of love as well. Sophos hugs Ezmel tightly. He rests his head on Ezmel's chest, and closes his eyes.)

(Sophos looks at Ezmel confusedly. He yanks out a few strands of his hair and looks at them. He doesn't understand. Why is his hair different? He doesn't know.
He looks back at Ezmel. He smiles. His teeth... are sharp looking... jagged... almost Shruikan-like.... What is this? He doesn't know what happened to him.
He goes back to cuddling Ezmel. Ezmel is so warm... he is happy with him...)

(Sophos pulls away of a sec... he feels his teeth... he doesn'y understand.... he tries to speak, but no words come out... he sadly hugs Ezmel again... he doesn't know what's wrong with him and he's getting a bit freaked out...)

(Sophos buries his head against Ezmel's neck... he so cold still... he was in golden light... he was home and it was so warm.... but Ezmel wasn't there, nor his parents... he was lonely... then he woke up.... Why can't I speak? Why have I changed? What happened? I'm still so cold.... ack...)

(Sophos nods and follows him, holding his hand. His legs are a bit stiff still... he shuffles along, holding on to Ezmel's hand.)

(Sophos hugs and leans on Ezmel... he's back and he doesn't want to leave.
I don't want to leave... can I stay...? We'll figure this out together, right? ...I love you...)
