"Cassian, your worrying over nothing; I am fine its probably just a phase?" Aylin spoke calmly as she walked around the room, tidying. "Aylin, you know I have a bad feeling about this?"

"What's the worst thing that can happen, really Cassian, my body begins to reject and fight against its self, or I become human again?" Aylin shrugged, not worried about the words coming out of her mouth. "Um yeah, Ay, that is serious, you could die, and what would I do then got back to being nothing, the person I was before I met you. A stone shell or zero emotion?" Cassian exclaimed in frustration, causing Aylin to freeze in position, shocked to his tone. "Is that really what you think of yourself, Cassian?" Aylin paused with wide sad eyes as she walked towards him, ran her fingers through his dark brunette hair, and looked into his handsome blue eyes. "You are not stone-cold or heartless, Cassian. You are all the rainbow colors to me, you are the world, and I love you as you are, so please don't say that ever again. And if I die, that's on me. The day will come, Cassian, and that day will be a day I will hate, but I will be in your heart always, ok." Aylin spoke honestly as if she knew things had to happen or something was imminent. Cassian couldn't bear it, and his heart broke, knowing that Aylin was not safe in her own body.

Days passed, and Cassian and Aylin had grown distant, unable to accept the other's reaction to Aylin's news. But then deployment papers came for the Onyx clan; they were asked to leave the next morning. Aylin had no power over this paper. It was to save their kind, and it was the onyx code to help. Aylin left the letters and each of their doors.

Meanwhile, she had a different matter to attend to far from home; her condition had gotten worst in the last several weeks, which meant that the inevitable was about to happen. Aylin portaled herself back to New York. She stood in front of the familiar broken blue door of Connors apartment complex. She softly knocked on the door, when he opened the door, with the same warm smile as always. "Aylin, what are you doing here?" He spoke, moving out of his doorway and letting her in.

"Hello Connor, I was in the area and thought I would see how you have been." She smiled, looking awful, with dark circles under her eyes and her frame looking scrawny and uncared for. "Sure, it's so good to see you. a year is way too long, your looking good, though, Aylin?"

"Yeah, I am feeling good, thanks to Connor. How have you been around doing, being the new head of New York wolves?" She smiled as she sank into his sofa like nothing was wrong, and that life had not changed one bit. "Yeah, it's been doing amazing; that's for the job upgrade, May." Connor chuckled as they continued to talk for a while. For some reason, the world seemed right for a fraction of time, but soon enough, Aylin had to go again. "I am sorry I have to go, Connor; there seems to be a new assignment for me to getting to," Aylin spoke cheerfully as she then hugged Connor tightly and for more time than usual, as they both realised Aylin let out a sigh and portaled herself out of place. Connor felt it weird and didn't really know what it meant or what she was saying, but the wolf part of her felt sad and like she had given up. But Connor thought nothing more about it. That night Aylin had been to see everyone that was with her on the battlefield with Baze that day. She never mentioned anything to them about why she had come to see them, but most just put it down to a kind gesture of a greeting.

But when morning came, and Aylin was nowhere to be found. She had somehow disappeared in the middle of the night without a good by. There was no time to search; the Onyx had to leave for war; this tore Cassian's heart even further, not knowing where the only person he had ever loved had gone. She was the queen of all living things Aylin had to return. He knew that much; in the back of his mind, he still had a bad feeling about what had happened to Aylin.

Nevertheless, Cassian left for war and hope that the others knew where she was in the universe. Little did he know that Aylin was a human. She had finally become so sick she couldn't live as anything; her life was being sucked out of her, so she found where Baze was hiding and gave herself to him. Weeks later, she died, everything had got too much, and Aylin's heart failed to cause her were about to be given up, and his body returned to the Castle. Days later, Cassian, Ellaria, Archer, and the others were notified about Aylin.

When they returned to the Castle, it was dilapidated, and most rooms returned to the state they had found it in just over two years prior. As her magic had died with her, everyone could see this was breaking Cassian and that he was unable to cope knowing that Aylin was no longer in this world. "Hey, it's so good the see you, Ellaria." Spoke Connor with sadness in his voice as he hugged her. "Yeah, and you, Connor," Ellaria replied, looking at him with red, watery eyes and a tissue in her hand. "How is Cassian holding up with this?"

"Terrible, she went missing the morning we went to war, and he didn't hear from her again."

"She really was a beautiful person, and they were so right for each other; I guess Aylin's demons had to catch up at some point, but there was so much more she had to do," Connor mumbled, now reminiscing over the extensive past he had with her. "I know, she was my sister, and I didn't really get a chance to ask her everything or know her as much as I hoped." Ellaria then began to sob as Connor pulled her into his chest.
