A couple of months went by already, Delilah turns one tomorrow. Capella already turned one a month ago. Elara spoiled her niece rotten. Zanthea is bound go into labor next month. Helthena and Farah started classes with Krolia, who being be giving birth in four months to twin girls. Elara and Sendak for relaxing in the lounge room while everyone else was asleep. Elara was well aware that she only has 19 and a half years to live and she still hasn't told Zarkon. Sendak hasn't even told Cressida. Ulaz has been keeping a close eye on Elara's quintessence levels. They were steady but still dropping.

"Elara you need to tell him." Sendak said seriously.

"I know believe me I do. But I don't know how to tell him. He's lost so many family members. First it was you know who, that it was his father after he trash talked me, then his mother died of illness, his best friends died, Lotor is gone, and now how is he going to react when I'm the one to go next? I know it already happened before but, It'll practically kill him inside. He looks tough until something like this hits him. He's as tough as steel doors but he's far too soft on the inside." Elara said, finishing with a sigh.

"As much as it may hurt him he needs to know. This is in the first time he's lost you." Sendak said.

"As strong as you think he is he's still fragile I know he is. You've known him longer but he's never completely opened up to you like he has to me." Elara explained.

"You know how much he loves you Elara, You need to make it hurt less for him. Tell him, prepare him for what is to happen. He's not the only one who's going to hurt. I know that I'm going to lose you, my twin sister again. My daughter is going to lose her aunt again, You're six living children are going to lose you again. The entire Empire is going to lose the best empress it's ever had again. It will hurt everyone not just him." Sendak said.

"I know... I'm just scared okay? I'm scared to acknowledge the truth. If the gods want me to go in a couple of years then so be it. But that won't change how scared I am to leave everything behind again." She admitted reluctantly.

"You don't need to be scared, If you need help just come to me. I'll help you out I promise." Sendak said.

"Aww thank you." Elara said, smiling and hugging her brother.

"You're welcome now leave me alone I need sleep." Sendak said.

"Ok ok I'm going." Elara said, leaving the room.

"Can you not get laid tonight? We all want to sleep without being traumatized!" Sendak asked.

"Well I can't promise anything that's a fact. It's Zarkon asks he shall receive." She said just to bother him.

"EWW!" Sendak screaming running to his chambers.

"Finally out of my way..."
