After Jesse and his family left, Divoky smiles at him, "So uh.. same time whenever you're free?" Jesse nods, "Sure. I'm free the day after tomorrow." Divoky nods, "Sounds great. B-Bye Jesse." Jesse smiles, "Bye Divoky." He blushes and gives Divoky a small kiss on the cheek and joins his aunt and uncle as they head back." Divoky blushes badly, and a goofy smile forms on his face as his horse tail wags like a dog. Aldara nudges him, "Oooo, he kissed you." Divoky regains his posture, "Yeah, and so what? I liked it." She giggles and she grabs the empty basket and goes to the storage closet, "Gosh it's cramped in here." She moves some stuff and notices something and grabs it, and gasps when she saw it was a sword, but not just any sword. It was the same sword that killed Elk 10 years ago by Keres. Aldara holds it and she shakes, remembering everything that happened, "Why is it here?... Why is it in the storage closet?..." She drops it, and it clanks on the ground and her eyes water.
Divoky hears her and he runs back in, "Sis, you okay?" He sees the sword and he gasps, "Is... is that?..." Adalie comes in and gasps when she sees the sword and Aldara looks at her, "Mom?... Why is this here?..." Adalie gulps and she looks at the twins, "What else was I supposed to do?... Who knows what Keres would've done if we left it with her?.. That thing is powerful and0" "It's the same one that killed dad!" Divoky pants, his eyes water and he picks up the sword, "This is what that... that griffontaur used to kill dad in front of us!" Adalie backs up, "Divoky please put that down. It's dangerous." "Then why is it in the house?!" Elk comes in, "What's with all the yelling?" he sees the sword and looks at Adalie and she looks at the floor and he looks at Divoky, "Divoky put that down, you'll hurt yourself." Divoky backs up, tears falling down his face, "Why is it here?..."
"We couldn't let Keres keep it, she could've done something." Adalie tries to get the sword away from Divoky, but he backs up, "No... No..." He pants and he runs out the cottage, taking the sword with him and Aldara follows him. Adalie tries to run after them, "Kids wait! Please!" Elk runs with her but the twins were already out of sight and Adalie cries softly, "I should've give it to Horse and her herd instead of keeping it." Elk hugs her, "We're gonna find them. Let's not waste time." They hear a voice and they see the Woman running to them, and she nearly trips and Adalie helps her, "What's wrong?" She pants, "Keres... the key..." Adalie gasps, and the three go the direction the twins ran, not knowing Keres had already made her way ahead of them.
The twins find the old castle that was covered in grass, moss and plants and they find the crumbled thrown, and Divoky lays down, panting, staring at the sword and he remembers the rift. When Keres stabbed through Elk's heart, then slitting his throat afterwards right in front of them. The memory haunts the twins everyday, and seeing something from that past brings that memory back from years ago. Aldara lays next to him and she looks down, then there was a small gust of wind and a shadow was in front of them, and they look up, seeing a familiar figure with the key, and their eye widen when they recognize the face, and they shake and she smiles, "My my, how much you two have grown." The twins gasp and back away from her, and Aldara shakes, "It... It's you." Keres smiles at them evilly, twirling the key, "Indeed."
