"
The look of fury on Tarnas’s face eased slightly. "Is that your idea of mercy? Of helping?"
"No, because his final pain still awaits him. Do you know what it’s like to wake up after committing suicide? Take it from me, there are few experiences like it, and I don’t mean that in a good way. He killed himself, and now he has to live with himself. That will be his everlasting penance."
"While yours has yet to even begin. Open this barrier and come quietly."
"Sorry, but I have plans." Noah walked over to his barrier device and conjured his sword. "I tell you this once, Adwith Tarnas, and all the other knights here: don’t come after me. You have just witnessed what happens to those who make the foolish decision of antagonizing me, and I implore you to learn from the prince’s mistake. I can either be your enemy or ally. The choice is yours."
He thrust his sword into the device, breaking it and disrupting the spell. Instantly, the wall of flames surged up into a twisting maelstrom, a great fire tornado that rose into the sky. All the knights covered their eyes and jumped back to shield themselves, and then, as quickly as it came, it went out. In the center was Seraph, unsinged, with no sign of Noah.
Alexis, at a loss, fell to her knees. She felt an invisible hand clasp her shoulder. "Until we meet again," a voice whispered in her ear before vanishing. She sat there, unable to move or think, while the knights scrambled to track Noah down and tend to Seraph.

Valia stood at the city’s edge, where homes and buildings gave way to farmland. She was waiting beside two horses, each carrying supplies and gear for a journey. She was wearing a cloak to conceal her identity, needed less and less as the sun approached the horizon. "Finally, I was worried they had caught you," she said as Noah arrived. "You look a little worse for wear."
"Seraph put up a pretty decent fight, but I have my revenge."
"Please tell me you didn’t kill him."
"He’ll live. Anyway, he doesn’t matter. Now we can finally move on."
"It’s about time." She handed him a cloak like hers and climbed up onto her horse. She paused and looked back at the city and the castle. In all likelihood, she would never be able to return, but without her brother, it was no longer home. "We’ll track Valon down, no matter what it takes," she said, both to herself and to Noah.
Noah adorned the cloak and took his own mount. "To the ends of the earth."
They each gave their horse a kick and took off, riding west towards the setting sun.
