Marcelos and Esther glared at each other as Marcelos awaited Esther to make the first move but she did nothing and just continued glaring at Marcelos. Suddenly, a sword appeared in Marcelos's right hand and he attacked Esther with the sword. Ramsay remains in his position and is unaware of what is happening.
Everyone in the living room was wondering what could be happening seeing it was taking so long and Esther and Ramsay didn't say anything nor did they regain consciousness. Tracy said ''what the hell could be happening? It is taking too long''.
''How are we going to know that? But we should not disturb the both of them'' said Hemdal.
''Hemdal is right. We shouldn't disturb the both of them. Ramsay's mind is more complicated than that of Lilia so it shouldn't be a surprise if it is taking too long to get him fixed'' said Karl, and they all agreed to what she said.
Marcelos and Esther fought without their powers but Marcelos fought with the sword and Esther fought with her bare hands, and it seemed Marcelos was a better fighter than Esther. Marcelos was able to thrust his sword into the heart of Esther and Esthrr fell to her knees in pain as she cough out blood and the sword still in her heart. As Esther kneeled in pain and the sword still in her heart, Marcelos said happily to Esther ''I don't know what makes you think you are powerful enough to win against me in here. This is my domain, Esther, not yours''.
Marcelos held the sword hilt and said to Esther ''your coming to this world has caused me so many problems and trouble but it would have been nice if you were close to me and accepted me as your master. I would have made you realize and showed you the new world I want to create. Well, you have been a nice opponent. Rest well my friend'', then Marcelos pulls the sword out of Esther's heart.
Immediately Marcelos pulled the sword out of Esther, Esther fell dead and Marcelos laughed happily in victory. As Marcelos laughed in victory, Marcelos suddenly heard the sound of hands being clapped together a few paces beside him then he looked toward the direction the sound was coming to see who was clapping or what was making the clapping sound. Marcelos was shocked to see it was Esther who was clapping as she stood looking at him and looked at the Esther he killed and could no longer find the body. Esther (clapping) said to Marcelos ''nice job, Marcelos. You really did great and your skills were good''.
Marcelos looked back at Esther who was still clapping wondering what had just happened then Esther stopped clapping and said to Marcelos ''you know the mistake you made was that you thought I would come here without any preparation knowing I was going to meet you here. You also seem to like it when someone challenges you. You quickly respond to that wanting to show the person how superior you are. You are also a fool if you think nothing about me will have changed after the last time we met''.
Marcelos was annoyed to hear all that from Esther and pointed the sword at Esther then said to her ''if you failed to die the first time I can just kill you over and over again''.
''You have missed the only chance you have to kill me because of your arrogance. And I can't be killed in here, Marcelos. You need to understand that'' said Esther.
''You think so? Well, you won't be saying that by that time I hold your head in my hand'' said Marcelos angrily, and wanted to attack Esther with the sword again but he suddenly found it impossible to move.
Marcelos wondered why he could no longer move any part of his body except his head and his hand was still raised holding the sword that was pointed at Esther. Esther walked toward Marcelos saying to him ''It is true that you have powers that we should all fear but your arrogance is blinding you. It doesn't make you think straight or of possibilities''.
Esther stopped in front of Marcelos and said to him ''when I saw you I already knew I couldn't defeat you in here because this is your domain so I create a possibility of me in here. All that the possibility of mine had to do was just to keep you busy while I make this place mine which is the only way I can defeat you''.
Marcelos was shocked to hear that Esther had gotten smarter and more powerful than the last time they met then Marcelos saw the dark surroundings begin to clear off reviewing the white surroundings. Esther said to Marcelos ''I hope you learn from this because we will be meeting again. We all indeed want to kill you but that is because you are an evil that needs to be eradicated. But I had just put a deadly target on your back. You had taken everything from him and his life so he will be coming for you. Now that I own Ramsay, I make his life purpose to end you. Am sure you know of his potential which is why you want him by your side but now he is mine. Beware of him. He won't rest until you are dead. Goodbye Marcelos. Till we meet again''.
Marcelos became mad upon hearing that and said to Esther ''I will come for you and when I do I will tear you into pieces'', then Esther touched Marcelos’ forehead and Marcelos faded away inside Ramsay’s mind.
After Marcelos faded away, Esther took control of Ramsay's mind and gave him back his old life and memories.
Redrick stood up and said ''for how long are we just gonna sit here and wait for them to wake up?''.
''As long as it takes'' said Mike.
''You can all do that but I can't'' said Redrick, and wanted to go wake Esther but was stopped by Noah who stood up and stood in his way.
Noah said to Redrick ''calm down lover boy. I also want my brother to wake but if we try to get in the way it might disrupt whatever my sister is doing to my brother. Do you get that?''.
''Let them be, Redrick'' said Hawk to Redrick, just then Esther and Ramsay regained consciousness and opened their eyes.
Ramsay opened his eyes as the old him remembering everything he had done while he was controlled by Marcelos.
Everyone smiled happily standing up to see that Ramsay and Esther were back. Ramsay stood up and looked at everyone without a word which made them all stop smiling as they all looked at him back wondering why he was strangely looking at them. Noah called Ramsay and he looked at Noah without saying any word to him then he began to walk toward his room and Noah wanted to call him back but Esther stood up and said to Noah ''don't. Let him be''.
Everyone watched as Ramsay walked away to his room and after he left Noah asked Esther ''what is wrong?''.
''That is the old him but the old him comes with a lot of pain and guilt that I can feel from him'' said Karl.
''He is now the old him that we all want but he remembers everything he has done. He remembered every pain and death he had caused. Everyone he has killed and the joy he felt doing all those things. He blames himself for everything. The fact that he aids in the capturing of all the kingdoms, and the death of everyone. Even though we get the old him back there, am not sure he is going to be the old him we know. The only we can help him now is to try not to remind him of everything he has done. And we will have to wait for him till he realizes himself that all that happened is not his fault. Until then he will be another version of strange Ramsay'' said Esther.
Ramsay entered his room, closed it from behind, and fell to his knees crying bitterly and deeply that he was sorry and guilty for everything he had done. Ramsay even scattered the whole room in anger and everyone heard the sound in the living room. The princes, the princesses, Ryn, and Lilia went toward Ramsay's room after hearing the sounds to go see him except Esther but they met his door locked. They all could hear the sound of him crying and told him to open the door that it was okay and everything that had happened was not his fault. Ramsay gave no response to anyone nor did he open the door no matter what they said then they all returned to the living room.
News about Ramsay made everyone have a worrisome day and they all couldn't have fun but spent their day in the living room thinking about Ramsay and what would now happen to him. Noah tries many times alone to get Ramsay to open the door so they can talk but he refuses to.
Marcelos regain consciousness back in Axrax still seated on the throne. Marcelos opened his eyes furious at what happened and the fact that he had lost Ramsay. Marcelos stood up and went out of the hall and upon getting outside the hall, Marcelos called upon Bane. Bane heard Marcelos call where she was and came to Marcelos.
Just as Bane gets to Marcelos, the Marcs come to Marcelos and Marcelos tells the Marcs that he is leaving and they should take care of Axrax before he gets back. Marcelos got on top of Bane and Bane flew to the sky.
By night, Ryn took Karl, Hawk, Noah, and Esther to the river close to the town which was the only way they could see Archies. As they got to the river, Noah took out the necklace that the goddess gave him and threw it inside the river then waited for something to happen but nothing happened. Seeing nothing happened, Ryn asked Noah ''are you sure you get the way of using the necklace right?''.
''I don't know. She never told me how to use the necklace except for the fact that it is how I can use it to contact her'' said Noah.
''And that means you just threw the necklace in the river for by gone sake'' said Karl to Noah.
''My bad'' said Noah.
''So what do we do now that the only thing that can help us contact the goddess is gone?'' asked Hawk.
''I don’t........ Wait. I can feel an energy coming from the water'' said Esther, just then a portal suddenly opened at the edge of the river in front of them.
Seeing the portal, Noah smiled and said ''I guess my effort was not in vain''.
''Let go get the map'' said Hawk with a smile, and they all walked toward the portal.
Karl, Hawk, Ryn, Noah, and Esther entered the portal and it closed back. The five of them came out of the portal into Queen Lindsey's (the goddess) palace hall then the portal closed back. As the five of them came out of the portal and it close back, they all saw Queen Lindsey standing, holding the necklace, smiling at them, and some guards behind her then she said to them ''welcome to Gathride''.
Ryn and Noah recognize the room to be the room where they first met Queen Lindsey. Karl and Hawk were shocked to see Queen Lindsey just as Queen Lindsey was shocked to see the both of them. Esther recognizes Queen Lindsey from the past.
Queen Lindsey (shocked) called both Hawk’s and Karl's names, and both Karl and Hawk (shocked) also called Queen Lindsey's name then Karl and Queen Lindsey ran toward each other to hug each other. Upon getting to each other Queen Linsey and Karl embraced each other happily and Hawk smiled while Ryn and Noah wondered what was happening but Esther understood.
