Disclaimer: I do not own The Black Jewels Trilogy or any of it's characters. I do own any characters that I made up and the plot.

Shiroi Hikari: Okay, I have come to a decision with this story. I will pick one of the two choices below, with the help of reviewers, and use them. They will not change!

a) Discontinue this story

b) Let someone else continue this story. For someone else to continue, they must give me credit in every chapter for the original idea and for the characters that I created. If they do not, I will talk to them about it, or take 'legal' action. Please e-mail me if you are interested in continuing this story.

Remember, these will NOT change. I am not going to continue this story by myself, and this will be the last chapter you read from myself.

Gentle Dawn

Chapter Seven

Thinking

Sasha sighed as she looked out over the horizon, towards Trilatica. Or what used to be Trilatica. Tears pricked her eyes as she sunk to her knees, little Kaesavi whimpering slightly and rubbing against her, trying to calm her.

"Why? What did I do to deserve this......" She whispered, her body racking with sobs.

Lucivar watched on, eyes inquiring. I guess she finally broke down... He thought as he walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. Sasha looked up at him, tears streaming down her face.

"Come on. We have to get back to the Keep. A few others, including Surreal, are waiting there." Lucivar said softly as he helped Sasha up. Sasha nodded and dried her eyes with the sleeve of her tunic.

"Thank you." She whispered slightly before picking up Kaesavi and heading back towards Toki. Lucivar's eyes softened as he watched her go.

::She is good person::

Lucivar jumped slightly as he turned his head down to look at Tori.

::Yes::

Lucivar thought back as he gazed at Sasha, who was currently scolding Toki for something he did. Lucivar chuckled slightly as he walked over to her, Tori following.

"Well, let's get going. We should reach the Keep around noon tomorrow." He said as he stretched his wings. Sasha nodded before she hopped up onto Yukari, Kaesavi settled into her lap. The palomino snorted softly and sidestepped when Kaesavi accidentally stuck his claws into her hide. Sasha laughed and quickly healed the small cuts. Toki snorted as he stood beside her, his long ebon black tail swishing impatiently. Lucivar just shook his head and started walking towards Saetan and Prothvar. Jaenelle and Karla were laughing and talking to Sasha, trying to get her mind away from what had happened yesterday evening.

Shiroi Hikari: Sorry for the short chapter. This is the last chapter I will write! The story will be continued only if someone else wants to continue it. Please e-mail me about it. If you can't see my e-mail, it is sarah7177cs.com and just ask me about continuing this story. If no one wants to continue it, I will just discontinue it. I am deeply sorry about this, but I am just so bored with this story right now, and I have absolutely no inspiration for it.
