*Rachel's senses severe pain in her chest. The Star in her Scepter starts to fade.*
"He's gone..."
*Cold tears begin to stream down her face. An icy chill comes out of nowhere and grasps the Elf. It freezes her solid. She falls off Epona's back and shatters as if of glass.

*Rachel nods. The Star Key faintly glows amid the chaos. The light encases the broken body of the healer and puts it back together piece by piece.The warmth of a beating heart, lifeblood pumping through veins. Eyes open to three worried faces.*
"You're alive!"
"Thank goodness!"
"Hooo-hooo!"
*Rachel wobbles to her feet and gets back onto Epona.*;
*Julian looks up at Rachel, a glimmer of hope sparkling in her eyes.*
"I might not know exactly how I'll save you, Brother Aeolus, but I know I will find a way."

"Please don't go. I need your strength to see me through the darknesses ahead......"
*Before Rachel can finish her thoughts Epona starts to buck.*
"What's wrong?!

*Epona suddenly throws Rachel off her back and stomps around before she's able to point at her feet.*
*A black Serpent is gnawing at her ankles.*
*Rachel pills out her favorite dagger and slices off the snake's head.*
*She then addresses the orb.*
"YOU made this for me....."
"Now I will use it so that I can be with you!"

"Now I will use it so that I can be with you!"
*Rachel holds the dagger above her head.*
"O loyal weapon!! By the gleam of your magical blade, join my spirit to that of my kinsman!!!"
*The knife's blade shines, but only faintly. A softly stern voice speaks from within.*
"This I cannot do for you, dear Skymoon."
"You know that neither I or my brother are allowed to take the life of the one we were crafted to defend."
"You must! I beg you!" "He is my only hope!"
"And you are ours!" "You are among those chosen to end the wars between Light and Shadow."
"You presume I'm not aware of that?"
"And what exactly is it do you think the two sides vie for?
The very thing I need his assistance seeking!
"Is there no more hope?!"

*Rachel looks around at her animals. The trio nods back. They mystically transform into blinding radiance and merge with the blade of D'artagnan. Rachel hurls the dagger at the orb.*
*Rachel holds up the Key, hoping the Light will draw the mist towards it. Meanwhile, Epona, Ari and Julian reappear in their living forms as Rachel catches D'artagnan.*
*A sense of immense protection also envelops the group as they all embrace.*
Thank you, Everyone. Let's return to the living."
Thank you, Everyone. Let's return to the living."

*Rachel smiles*
"Lead on, Key of The Star."
*The radiance and hope intensifies as they disappear into the portal. They land back on the shore as the night wind blows across the moonlit waves. The Elf looks down at her Key. The Star is still shining.*
"Thank you, Brother Aeolus..."
"I shall do my best to bring you back to the flesh."

The soft white glow radiates as if to say thank you.
Rachel realizes that Artenen's ship is still on the rocks, but not sunk just off the shoreline. She can see his armor faintly in the moonlight. The night is calm, warm and clear. The stars twinkle in the sky. The ship doesn't appear to be too badly damaged, but hung up on some small rocks. I few boards were damaged by fire, but the waves must have put them out shortly after running ashore. Looking up and down the beach, there doesn't appear to be anyone or fire smoke in the nearby trees. This shoreline looks peaceful and uninhabited.

*Rachel sets herself thinking and comes up with an idea. She pulls out an assortment of spell orbs and arranges them.*
"RELEASE!!!!"
*Scepter raised, Rachel maneuvers the Elements with ease. The wave orb carefully lifts Artenen's ship off the rocks as the vine orb places the lost planks back into it and seals them with softened clay. While the clay dried, Epona pulls Brother's Armor up the beach where Rachel works to make it shiny and perfect..*
