The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Ryn, and Benjamin appeared outside the wild forest but close to it and immediately they all appeared outside the forest, Redrick fell to the ground unconscious, and the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Ryn, Lilia, and Benjamin (worried) rushed to Redrick except Esther, Noah, and Ramsay that was still in the same position they were and were not aware of what had happened.
Upon getting to Redrick, Camelia kneeled close to Redrick, took the sword out of Redrick's back, dropped it on the floor, and then placed his head on her knees calling his name but there was no response from Redrick, and that terrified Camelia and the others.
Noah, Ramsay, and Esther regain consciousness when Mike, Hawk, and Redrick continuously speak loudly into their ears that they need to wake up, and the three of them open their eyes. Esther stopped channeling the power of the sword, of Noah, and of Ramsay, as they all opened their eyes and she let go of their hands.
Esther, Noah, and Ramsay turn back to check up on the others and are surprised to see the others looking anxious and Redrick lying on the ground unconscious as his head is placed on Camelia's knees who is crying and pleading that Redrick should wake up and that she is not ready to lose him now. Seeing Redrick, Esther quickly went to kneel beside Redrick asking what happened, and then Esther touched Redrick and felt the dark magic inside him which meant something bad happened to him.
Mike explained to Esther, Ramsay, and Noah what happened and Esther was shocked to hear that Redrick chose to let the sword Marcelos threw toward her thrust into him instead of her which means Redrick lay down his life for hers but they were terrified about Redrick's health.
Esther checked on Redrick with her magic and saw Redrick was still alive but unconscious because the dark magic was working its way around his body. Esther said to the others, “we need to leave right now and find a way to save him”, just then Ramsay took the sword that stabbed Redrick and it faded away in his hand immediately he took it and had a look at it.
Hawk changed into a horse and Redrick was put on top of him and they all began to get far away from the wild forest. As they all walked away from the wild forest, they all saw it getting burnt which means Marcelos had ordered it to be burnt.
Bane burnt the lobsters, Stinxes, and vines in the forest, and also the whole wild forest with her flame as ordered by Marcelos who was furious that the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Benjamin, Ryn, and Lilia escaped from his grasp again and he didn’t get to kill Esther because of Redrick. As the wild forest burnt, Marcelos gave life back to his armies that were killed and they all made their way out of the wild forest to continue to search for the princes, the princess, Hawk, Benjamin, Ryn, and Lilia.
Esther and the others took a look at where the sword thrusted into Redrick at the back and saw it was getting infecting and the dark magic had begun spreading through Redrick's body. Esther tried to use her magic and some spells to heal Redrick but it didn’t work so he did what she thought was right for Redrick at that time. Esther uses her magic to stop the wound from continuing to get infected and slow the work of the dark magic in Redrick until they can be able to find a way or spell that can heal Redrick maybe even close the cut on Mike's chest.
The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Benjamin, Lilia, and Ryn continue their journey following the map and at the same time checking through the Dominion book to see if they can be able to find a spell that can save Redrick. Esther even went through the past to see if there was a spell that could heal Redrick but she couldn’t find any. Ramsay could no longer be able to train the others as they were all terrified about Redrick who remained unconscious traveling on Hawk's back (Hawk in a horse form).
After traveling for another day, the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Ryn, and Benjamin decided to rest spending the night inside a cave. Redrick was laid at one side of the cave covered with a blanket so he wouldn't catch a cold then they all watched as Esther tried many spells to heal Redrick but nothing worked and he remained unconscious. Seeing none of what they had been doing was working made everyone more terrified if Redrick was ever going to survive but Esther never thought of that because she promised herself to heal Redrick and Camelia who was crying deeply inside choosing not to believe she was going to lose his brother.
Every one of them sat down close to each other and Hawk was now in his human form as they were silent between them all because they were all thinking about Redrick and glancing at him. Camelia broke the silence and asked Esther “do you this was going to happen?”.
“What do you mean?” Esther asked Camelia.
“Don’t try to lie to me. You are a Sa’er for fuck sake. Do you know this was gonna happen to Redrick?” Camelia asked Esther.
“How would……..” said Hawk to Camelia.
Hawk was cut short of words as Camelia angrily told Hawk to shut up and said angrily to Esther “I should have known you telling my brother that you accept his love was because of something not because you actually love him or want to love him back. You accept his love and choose to love him back because you know he is going to die. You knew he was going to die for you that is why you accepted him so you would not be guilty. You killed my brother”.
“You need to calm down and be watchful of your words, Camelia” said Mike to Camelia.
“Why? She knew you were gonna get stabbed by the Marc and said nothing. She knew Ramsay was going to die and said nothing, and what if Ramsay had truly died because her plan failed, then what? And she always refused to tell us things saying whatever she tells us will affect the future. She even created a possible future that is deeply affecting our lives. She knew Redrick was going to die for her which is why she accepted his love after making him understand once that she can never love him or accept his love. It is her fault” said Camelia angrily and out loud.
“But I don’t think….. “ said Noah.
Noah was cut short of words as they all saw Camelia jump on Esther and angrily hit Esther in the face but Esther did nothing and allowed her to hit her. The others had to stand up and separate Camelia from Esther so she could stop hitting Esther, and then they all saw Esther standing up, bleeding in the nose and having a cut to her lip. The others begged Esther not to be annoyed at Camelia but Esther said to them “it's fine. Am okay”.
“You shouldn’t have done this, Camelia” said Noah to Camelia.
“Why shouldn’t I? She killed my brother because with everything we have tried am now sure that there is no way we can save him and she knows that. You all heard when she said she had set some event into motion and the death of my brother is part of those events am sure of that” said Camelia.
“She did not kill him. It was Redrick decision to protect her because he loved her which shows how true and pure his love was for her” said Lilia to Camelia.
“Am sure she knew this was going to happen and she did nothing to stop it or say anything about it. Doesn’t that mean she killed him?” said Camelia angrily.
“I don’t think……..” said Ramsay.
Ramsay was cut short of words as Esther cut in saying “Yes, I killed him…… I admitted that I killed him but that will be because I was the one that brought you all here and made you all venture into this journey”, (water filled Esther's eyes), “If I hadn’t made you all venture into this journey then none of this would have happened and it is also my fault. If I hadn’t created a possible future that changes everything then none of this would have happened. It is all my fault”, and tears fall from her eyes.
Ramsay said to Esther “none of this is your fault. You did what you thought was right to end Marcelos and save our world. And you made us realize, that the possible future you created is a future you don’t know much about so there was no way you could have known this was going to happen. You have also been doing your best to save him”.
“I don’t think she is. She is only pretending to do her best to make it look like she cares. She never cared about Redrick and only used him for her purpose knowing how well my brother loves her since she could read his mind” said Camelia.
Esther cleaned her tears and said to Camelia “I would accept any insult from you but don’t question my love for him. I loved him more than you could ever imagine and you want to know why I did. It was because his love for me was very genuine and pure. He loved me for no reason and that made him accept his love knowing the possible future I created I know nothing about so I had better hold on to people who cherish and love me so I won’t regret it later. Redrick is worth a lot more to me than any of you here and I would have done anything to protect him if I knew this was going to happen. And if it was true that I did not love, then why wouldn’t have loved him now that he saved my life”.
“I do not believe you. You kill my brother and the only way am ever going to forgive you is if die with him or else you kill me” said Camelia angrily to Esther.
Everyone was shocked to hear Camelia say that except Esther who said to Camelia “if that is your choice then am gonna grant you your wish”.
Everyone was confused to hear that and Tracy asked Esther “what do you mean by that?”.
Esther gave no response to Tracy's question and used her magic to bring Camelia's sword to her and Camelia held her sword with her right hand. Seeing what Esther had just done, the others knew what Esther was doing and Benjamin said to Esther “am sure you know I don’t really like you but you can’t do this, Esther. Your death will mean Marcelos wins and everything and sacrifices we made would be in vain”.
Esther gave no response to Benjamin and Tracy said to Camelia “you can’t do this, Camelia. If you kill Esther then we will all lose and there will be no way for us to save Redrick. Redrick is not dead yet and we will find a way to save him”.
There was also no response from Camelia as she glared at Esther furiously who was also staring at Camelia. Ramsay said to Esther “you can’t mean this, Esther. You want everything we have done to go to waste and Marcelos to win. Stop this madness now, nothing is your fault and you didn’t mean for this to happen to Rederick”, and said to Camelia “Esther doesn’t know anything about what happened to Redrick. It was Redrick choice to save her so you need to calm down and think Camelia. If this is what Redrick would have wanted even if he dies. If Redrick would want you his sister to kill the love of his life. And Redrick is not dead yet”.
There was no response from either Esther or Camelia as they both continued looking at each other then suddenly Camelia unsheathed her sword and ran toward Esther. The others wanted to stop Camelia knowing her intention as she took her first step but they were all unable to move from where they all stood. Seeing they were all unable to move but watched as Camelia ran with her sword toward Esther, they all knew Esther had created a spell to stop them from moving from where they stood.
The others could not stop Camelia from running toward Esther with her weapon nor Esther from waiting for Camelia to come to kill her. Noah and Ramsay tried and hadn't been able to break the spell so they could save Esther but watched terrified at what might happen.
The others all watched as Camelia got to Esther and stabbed Esther in the belly with her sword and they were all terrified. Camelia removed the sword from Esther's belly and Esther fell to the ground dead.
