"What is that?!" Meghan screams.

"It's something ghastly, like evil itself." Mabe says.

Meghan walks over to the window.

"Uh your highness? I wouldn't stand too close to the window." Mabe says.

"Why not?" Meghan asks. 

"Damit, where is Puck and the two others?" Grimalkin asks.

"Hellooo!" I jump through the window.

I almost punch Meghan in the face. Mabe uses her magic to pull Meghan out of the way.

"Ash! Nyx! Puck!" Meghan yells.

"Because of the tornado of Goodfellow." Mabe looks at Meghan.

"... Thank you." She breathes.

I slam down. Ash looks like he's going to throw up. Oh, come on, it couldn't have been that bad. I feel a sense of dread still. I can see the storm is growing. It will soon reach the castle and once it does. The Iron Realm will fall. And that's just the first step. My mother can't discern the difference between chaos and destruction. I let out a breath. If I don't stop her soon, we all lose- and I really can't go through it again.

"Puck...never...do...that again..." Ash coughs.

"Your strength should return in time." I drop them both.

"What happened to them?!" Meghan asks.

"Ah... the storm is finally awake. Hah. We're all in deep ***." Mabe pours a drink.

"Took the words right out of my mouth." I take of my coat.

Nyx looks so cold. I pull it over her. She looks up at me. I let out a breath. This started with me and it's going to end with me. I feel love for Nyx. I know it's not possible for her, but it's possible for me because I'm only half fey. 

"Hey, are you okay?" I ask.

"I'm ready to stand with you." Nyx smiles.

"I appreciate it, but you can't." I stand up.

"And so, the noble hero goes on his path alone." Mabe quotes.

I look at her.

"Go now Goodfellow face your past." Mabe raises her horn to me.

"Yeah thanks." I say.

"Puck... you can't go in there alone!" Ash grabs my leg.

"You can barely stand ice boy. No offense but you all would most likely be killed." I say.

"But... but..." Nyx sits up.

"Sorry, I can't drag you into this anymore. This is my fault, so it's my battle." I say.

"And a noble one at that." Mabe says.

"Thank you Mabe." I sigh.

"But... there's no way you can beat her!" Nyx cries.

"Actually... I have an idea." Mabe walks forward.

"An idea? Now you tell it." I look at her.

"Love." Mabe says.

"Love? We're fey." Ash says.

"Correction, you two are but..." Mabe points at me.

Nyx and Ash both turn to me.

"You're only half fey. Chaos lacks love, so by definition if you  pierce her heart, she should die." Mabe says.

"Mabe. I ***ing love you!" I grab her.

"Go now Goodfellow. Go and be true!" Mabe pushes me.

"Puck...please...be...careful." Ash says.

"I... I don't want to lose you." Nyx says.

"Hey, you won't." I transform into a raven.

"And so the good hero turns to face his path when the odds are zero." Mabe smiles.
