Battle of the Heart

Time to Finish This

   When Leon was cleaned up the gang stood in front of a stone room with only one window that was only small enough for eyes to peer into. The window was on the door that was latched shut from the outside. On the inside the queen lay on a bed of hay.

"This should do it." Mikkel smiled proudly. 

"With the queen out of the way Ivan will leave all of you alone for now." Leon spoke up.

"What makes you think that?" Tino said.

"By the way Yao and Ivan spoke of the queen she seemed more than a nuisance than an ally. Her plans were falling apart to many times."

"Yeah, we had no trouble getting her out of there. There weren't even guards on her floor. They only started the search when we blew up some stuff." Emil agreed.

"Then I suppose everything is gonna be just fine." Mikkel smiled.

"So it's alright for us all to go home?" Tino asked.

"Yes, it's about time for things to go back to normal." Lukas decided.

"Then we can go home!" Tino smiled looking up at Berwald.

"I can't wait to get out of here." Leon sighed.

"You can come with us Leon, it's on the way. But I would like to go now.... I really want to get home."

"Yeah, I'm ready, I need to get some medicine on these gashes anyways." 

"Thank you for everything, it was.... fun?" Tino smiled awkwardly.

   Mikkel laughed to himself. "Oh yeah, we should do it again sometime."

"Mail us if somethin' comes up." Ber came in.

"Of course, be safe." Lukas said.

   Tino Berwald and Leon started off but Emil stepped up. "Wait." He said.

   Leon turned around and looked down at the boy. "Wait?" 

"Um, Lukas, I want to go with Leon and have him as my tutor." Emil asked. "If that's okay with him."

"Hm, I did say I would do that didn't I?" Leon recalled.

   Lukas looked up at Mikkel, his pale violet eyes seemed lost, or even stuck between his options. Mikkel shrugged and looked at the two.

"I don't see why not, if anything he'd be safe there." Mikkel reminded.

   Lukas sighed. "Alright, but you will keep in touch." He instructed.

"Of course I will." Emil felt a little offended.

   Lukas walked up to his younger brother and hugged him tightly. As he did he glared at Leon. 

"Put a finger on my little brother and you will suffer a horrible death."

"Lukas." Emil whined pushing him away.

"Good luck." Mikkel winked at Leon.

   Leon looked at him wondering what he meant but then was distracted when Emil tugged his shirt. Leon looked down and put a hand of his shoulder.

"Let's go home."

   Mikkel and Lukas lay in bed completely exhausted from the events that had taken place in the chapters. 

"Holy crap." Mikkel suddenly sat up.

"What now?" Lukas groaned.

"This entire book is based off of us!"
