Sky!"
Storm quickly runs up to sky picking her up off the ground. Cleo covers her mouth and gasps.
    "Is sky okay?!"
Cleo runs over to Storm and sits down beside him.
"Sky, please be okay."
Storm and Cleo hear the door's creak open, and Cleo quickly stands up and turns her body towards the door. A tall man was standing at the door with what looked to be over one hundred people behind him. The man slowly walked over to the three, Sky still lying lifelessly in Storms' arm. Storm stood up holding Sky in his arm's with tears running down his cheeks and onto his lips.
"Who are you, kids?"
"We're Cleo, Storm... and the one that risked her life to get rid of Morgana, is Sky"
The man turns around and looks at the crowd of people standing behind him.
    "Gather around my people as it is a day of sadness. A child has risked her life, for the good of us, and the world. We owe these three kids our thanks and gratitude for the suffer and torture they've been subdued from that sorceress, Morgana"
The people all bow down and as they do so Sky slowly opened her eyes.
    "Storm?"
Storm looked down at Sky when he heard her voice and he felt relieved. He fell to the ground and hugged her has tight as he could.
    "Ow, you're going to kill me!"
Storm loosened his grip and looked down at her.
"I'm so glad you're okay."
Cleo walked over to the two of them and looked down at Sky. she slowly lowered herself to the ground and sighed.
"I'm really sorry about everything that happened, I shouldn't have summoned her in the first place."
"It's not okay, but I appreciate you saving me after everything"
As the king came closer, he stepped Sky aside from the people, as they went over to Cleo and Storm and praised them for the valiant victory.
"So... you picked the sword from the stone?"
    "How'd you know?"
    "It's easy to tell the brave and pure-hearted from the masses. Now, you do know what happens after you pick the sword from the stone, correct?"
"No..."
"You become king. My child, you have become the queen of Avalon"
Sky was taken aback and looks back at her friends and holds her hands tightly
"So... do I have to be the queen of this place?"
"If you don't then we shall await the next terrifying being that plagues this kingdom"
"Why can't you continue to be king?"
"Because I was never able to pull the sword out of the stone. I wasn't the rightful ruler"
Sky breathes in deeply and pushes her hair back
"This is a lot to take in... Do I have to make a decision now?"
    "Yes"
Sky steps back from him and holds the sword up her. She saw ancient inscription written at the beginning of the sword and sighed deeply as she looked around the castle. Sky knew she wanted to help these people, but what would happen if she left her friends and family? They'd be devastated. Sky knew her answer.
"Yes, I will stay. Under one condition, my friends are sent back to Earth'
The king nodded, and as he was preparing to send them back with the book that Cleo brought, Storm snatches the book
"No, I'm not leaving you here. I can be your knight"
    "No, Storm, you have to go back home"
    "Home? In the few days that I've been with you, you've felt more home to me than to any other place out of the 17 years I've been alive. I'm staying here with you"
Sky nodded and sighed
"Okay.. What about you Cleo? Are you staying, or leaving?"
"Leaving. I've had enough of sorcery in my lifetime"
The king reads some ancient inscription, and Cleo vanishes away, and once she did there was a celebration for the new queen of Avalon, Queen Sky.
