"The flower is going to die, my lord husband. I can feel his soul leaving his body as we speak. It's only a matter of time before the curse will take over him forever."

"Well done, my lady wife. With our son being born, we can have full domination over the Banditos. I will send word to Lord Nico, and we'll have it all to ourselves."

"Oh... well... done... my lord husband... oh... it's so... glorious to love.... on you... my flowered son... is dead!"

(Present)

"NOOOO!" Josh cried; waiting up from his nightmare.

The man looked around and saw that he was still in camp. Jenna was sound asleep next to him, and everyone is safe.

He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that what he experienced was a dream.

Or, was it?

For a moment, he heard the brief sounds of moaning. He thought that it could be the newlyweds, Kai and Linh, but they were both asleep. They had sex all night, and were exhausted to continue.

This moaning was different. It was of the sound of sex, but it was more seductive and less passionate.

Looking up, Josh sensed that the moans came from the north tower, where he suspected Ender and Wren were hiding.

He had to get up there as fast as possible in order to defeat them.

Josh started gathering his gear and lighting his torch when Jenna started to stir.

"Josh?" The girl asked; sitting up and stretching her arms. "What's going on?"

"Gather Kai and Linh." Josh said; packing his things. "We're leaving for the north tower."

Jenna immediately sat up. She was concerned about what transpired.

"What's happening?"

"It's Ender and Wren." Josh replied. "They're there, in plain sight. It's our time to strike now!"

"But, why would they not be hiding?"

"Because they don't know that we're here, and I can't let Nico trick me anymore. I'm ending this now, to save my flower's life."

Jenna no longer questioned her leader. She joined him in gathering their things. Citrus also heard Josh's words. He woke up his twin sister and they got their gear together.

Unfortunately, the newlywed couple still slept soundly, unaware on the plan. Jenna came over to their cot and woke them up by throwing a pillow at them.

Kai sat up and was startled.

"Whoa, what the fuck?!"

Linh gasped.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Get up." Jenna said. "Lord Josh is going to the north tower."

"Now?!" Kai cried. "It's early!"

"Early enough to lose your rank if you don't get off your ass and help us." Jenna said; sternly.

Despite being so tired, Kai dared not lose his position just because he was exhausted from consummating his marriage. He stood to his feet and went over to see his master. Linh followed behind.

"Forgive me, my Lord." He said. "Linh and I were-"

"Fucking, I know!" Josh shouted.

Kai was been taken a back.

"I'm sorry, I'm-"

"We have a mission to do!"

The sound of his angry voice echoed into the forest, directly at the north tower. Josh feared that Ender and Wren knew they were there, but no sound alerted them to their presence.

They were safe for now, but the sneak attack was going to be risker.

Josh was able to calm himself down and he apologized to a second in command.

"I'm sorry, Kai. I just want to awaken Tyler, and I want to end this."

Kai was a forgiving person, and he understood his leader more than anyone.

"I know you do, and I'll fight with you."

Josh faced Kai and touched his shoulder.

"Good, because I need you."

"I'm with you, right to the very end."

"Me too." Linh added; standing next to her husband.

Josh had the most loyal people in his clan, and with their strength, they were going to take down Ender and Wren, and save Tyler from the curse.

Meanwhile, back in Trench, word had spread that Olene was pregnant with Ari's child, and that they were now engaged.

In the evening, Ari hired a set of guards to look after Tyler's tomb, so he could take some time off to celebrate his new wife.

With the news of Olene's pregnancy, and the decision to go ahead and get married, the couple decided to not have a wedding, and to just be content with calling each other husband and wife.

They would tell their leader that they already entered the covenant of marriage, and that the pregnancy sealed their vows.

In their tent, as Olene brushed her hair, Ari watched his wife, and stood in awe of how madly in love he was of her.

"I want to have our baby here, where it will be loved by all of us." Olene said.

"And it shall." Ari replied. "You will be a wonderful mother."

"And, my husband, you'll be a good father."

Ari smiled at the site of his wife.

"You are so... beautiful."

Olene smiled back at her husband.

"It's only because I'm so in love."

She put down her brush and wrapped her arms around Ari.

"I am so honored to be Mrs. Olene Aramina Soroka."

The two shared a kiss. Ari pressed his hands against his wife's belly; feeling the child that was growing inside her.

"My child is blooming in you, dear." He said.

Olene nodded.

Ari stood up; still keeping his hands upon his wife's belly.

"Boy or girl?" He asked.

"I'm not sure." Olene replied. "However, for a girl, I know a good name."

"What is it?" Ari asked.

Olene curled her lips into a smile.

"Alysane Olena."

When he heard the name idea, Ari began to smile and blush. It was the most perfect name for the possibility of a girl.

At that moment, Ari began to pray for the maker of the world to give him and Olene a daughter. His wife knew it was what he wanted, and she prayed for it too.

Still wrapped in embrace, the newlyweds kissed and loved upon one another, as their first child was to bring hope for the future of Trench.

But, Josh was to defeat Ender and Wren and save his beloved Tyler from the eternal sleeping curse.
