(3 hours after the betrayal.) Nammari was crying her eyes out in her room. She just betrayed her first freind, and now, Raya was either. A. Stone, B. Hates Nammari's guts. Nammari couldn't control herself, she just cried in agony, and in pain. Cheif Verena walked into the room and saw something that shattered her soul. Nammari was completely broken hearted. "What's the matter morning mist?" Verena asked. Nammari then felt something, SHE was the person who made Nammari betray her dep la. SHE was the person who shot Benja, SHE caused this. "WHAT DO YOU THINK!!" Nammari screamed at her mother. "I WAS FORCED TO BETRAY MY ONLY FRIEND!!! SHE'S PROBABLY DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!" Verena was shocked, "listen, you did a great service to your land, you saved us." Nammari then completely lost her cool. "SO YOU DON'T CARE IF I'M ALONE, YOU DON'T CARE IF I'M HEARTBROKEN TO THE POINT OF SUICIDAL, YOU DON'T CARE IF I WAS FORCED TO BETRAY THE ONLY FRIEND I EVER HAD?!!!" Nammari yelled at her while crying her eyes out. Verena tried to comfort her daughter, but it was no use. "NO, you don't care, you only care about yourself. " Verena looked at her daughter, "Nammari! That is not true!" She yelled. But Nammari then got up went to the door, and said, "I will NEVER forgive you for what you did to me!" Nammari then ran out and ran from Fang, her mother, her home, everything. Nammari just ran for an entire day with no destination. Nammari ended up in a forest between Fang and Heart. She felt so tired that she collapsed by a tree. She just started crying out of hopelessness, and guilt, indescribable levels of guilt. "I'm sorry dep la!!!" She cried. Nammari cried into her lap for hours, trying to grasp on to the tiniest peice of hope. Then, somebody kicked Nammari in the face. Nammari wiped the tears off her face, looked up, and saw Raya. "Dep la?" Nammari asked weakly. Raya then took a sword and stabbed her in the leg. "Do you really think you can say that after what you've done to me!!?" She screamed. Nammari just yelled in pain. "Yeah I hope that hurt!" Raya yelled. Nammari tried to talk, say she was sorry, but Raya then stabbed her in the back. "Hoped that hurt to, binturri.!" "RAYA I'M SORRY!!!!" She yelled as she was sobbing at this point. The pain Nammari felt was unbelievable, but Raya was determined to make Nammari pay for what she did. Raya turned her around. "Any last words, Binturri!" Raya yelled as she pointed her sword at Nammari's throat. "You're all I have left." She whispered, "I'm so sorry". Raya then looked at Nammari, she was shocked at what she said. Nammari was bleeding all over the place. Raya threw away the sword. "What have I done!!!!" Raya screamed. Nammari started coughing on blood. Raya touched Nammari's cheek, "Nammari, I'm sorry to, please don't go." Raya started to cry, Nammari cupped her cheek, "Fix. This." Nammari managed to choke out. "I will dep la, I forgive you." Raya said. Nammari then went slack. Raya screamed with so many emotions, pain, regret, sadness, grief. Raya cried over her friends dead body. She knew she killed her. "I promise, I will fix this." Raya whispered. But then, Raya heard Nammari trying to cling to life. Raya picked Nammari up and walked her back to Heart. Raya brought Nammari to her room. She gently set Nammari on Raya's bed, Nammari was still groaning in pain, she was unbelievably weak. Raya knew if anything happened to her, it was her fault. Nammari felt many feelings; pain, heartbreak, fear, sadness, regret. Nammari kept wincing in pain. Raya put pressure on Nammari's wounds. Raya started to cry her eyes out. Nammari put her fingers on Raya's cheek. "Why are you crying?" She asked. "Because I hurt you," Raya awnserd, "what if I'm left alone, what if I murdered you." Raya just cried harder, I don't know why, but I can't lose you. Nammari wanted to hug Raya, make her feel better, but she couldn't, she could barely move. "Raya, " Nammari said, "you don't need to be sorry, I deserve this, I deserve to hurt, because I did more than hurt you, I destroyed your life, I destroyed the world." Nammari started to cry as she coughed, "this is exactly what I deserve. " Raya went next to Nammari, "dep la, don't say that, don't even think that. I forgive you, but, I just don't know what to do anymore. " Raya cried in fear, she knew Nammari had very little time left with her. "Raya?" Nammari asked. "Can you rest with me?" Raya looked at her, smiled, and got in bed with her. They both hugged each other tightly. "I'm so sorry dep la," Raya cried into Nammari's chest. Nammari, gathered all the strength she had left, and kissed Raya's forehead, "I'm going to be okay Raya. " Nammari said trying to comfort her freind. "Fix the world, please. "Nammari begged. Raya looked at her friend with tears in her eyes, her eyes were red. "I will, I promise. I promise to clear your name. " Raya said. They then embraced each other like they never had anyone to cling onto. Then Nammari smiled one last time, "I love you," we're her final words as she died in Raya's arms. Raya saw what happened and yelled in vain, "I love you Nammari. " Raya cried, wondering what could've happened if she had trusted her, if Raya could've seen the change in Nammari's heart. They could've spent a life together, they could've made each other happy even in the dark times, she could've had someone to hold on to, but now, there was nothing but sadness, pain, hurt, and a promise to keep. Raya had to find the last dragon. Not just to save her ba, but to make sure her only friend's soul could rest in peace, her best friend, her love.

During RATLD. Raya found Sisu in the same ship. But when Sisu saw Raya, Raya was crying. Sisu saw her, "what's wrong people?" She asked while putting her paw on her shoulder. But Raya was crying in relief, the weight of the world was taken off her shoulders, and now a dragon paw was on it. "It's nothing ." Raya said while smiling. "I'm just happy you're here. " Sisu just looked at her, "why, oh, it's my charm isn't it, I look to good don't I?" She said jokingly. Raya then explained everything. "YOU BROKE IT!!!!" Sisu yelled. Raya was taken aback by how loud she yelled. "WHO BROKE IT!!!!" She yelled. This made Raya's blood boil "IT WASN'T HER FAULT!!!!!" Raya screamed her head off and started sobbing her eyes out. She rolled into a ball on the floor. "NAMMARI, I'M SORRY!!" Raya cried. Sisu wondered what was going on with the girl. "Hey what's the matter, " she said with a gentle voice. Raya couldn't control herself, "I failed you Nammari, " Sisu looked at her, "whos Nammari?" Raya then brought herself together. "She was my girlfriend, and she was the one who betrayed me and inadvertently broke the gem. It wasn't her fault, she was being forced to do it. She came to me, begging for forgiveness, but I didn't trust her. And so I took a sword and stabbed her in the back and the leg. I saw her desperation and I still killed her. I have known nothing more for the past 6 years but grief, and regret, that's all I feel anymore. At least we had a couple of minutes together to say goodbye. And her dying wish, was for me to find you and fix everything, to clear her name. I still love her, more than anything. I just want her to rest in peace." She was sobbing at this point. Sisu couldn't say any thing, she just hugged Raya with all her might. "It wasn't her fault!!!" Raya kept crying into Sisu's soft fur. "I know Raya, "Sisu said trying her best not to cry to. "It's okay, I'll do whatever I can to help her rest." Raya started to calm down. "Thank you," she said. Raya continually cried into Sisu for hours. "I'm okay," Raya said as she finally calmed down. "Let's go Raya, let's save Kumandra. "
