Luna gasped in shock as Moon's body hit the ground. Blood oozed from her neck and her eyes were closed.
"No... No..." Luna whispered. As Luna remembered the funny Moon, them both mining gemstones, then trading, then buying clothes, then saving Ember, tears came to her eyes.
She looked at the Dragon Troop. Many of them were crying, and the rest of them looked with tears in their eyes.
"Haha! I see you guys are affected by a death of a member! But how about a Dragon Troop HERO?" The enemy laughed.
"NEVER!" Sebastian pushed his way to the front. "If you want a fight, then let's fight!"
"No," the enemy curled his lip. "I would kill you. I want to see you under my control."
Luna gulped. What was this, her mentor facing her assassin?
The enemy laughed. When he was done laughing, he sneered, "Let's make a deal. If you attack, I will kill the hero. If you don't attack and give up, I will control the Dragon Troop."
Luna scanned the Dragon Troop. They were crying and glaring. She then saw the body of Edward. Then her mind drifted off to thinking of Silver and Lime, then Ember.
"Stop!" Luna stood up and faced the enemy. "Edward is DEAD. You are not the Dragon Elite Team's leader. So stop making excuses to rule the Dragon Troop! Follow Ember. Because Edward is gone, Ember has his powers back. Even if you kill me, Ember will make things safe."
Ember was watching her with troubled eyes. He thought into the greenstone, Moon... is dead... But you're right. I have my powers back, and so I can control him.
Silver and Lime were also watching, their faces showing... sadness? Anger?
Silver was obviously sad. Tears trickled down her scales and she didn't dare to look up.
"But-" Sebastian cried.
"Ember will keep everything safe. You will forget me. And that is the destiny I want." Luna said.
Is this the destiny I want?
"Very well." The assassin raised her knife to her throat.
Luna could feel the sharp blade on her neck, and she closed her eyes and waited for her death.
