defeat me.”
     
    Silas shuddered and another cloud of smoke consumed him. When it cleared she saw him—weak, defeated, and horribly injured. She couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed free of the woman’s grasp and threw herself on the ground next to him.
     
    “Chelsea,” Silas coughed, “you have to stay back.”
     
    “No,” she said wrapping her arms around him. “I won’t leave you.”
     
    “Then you’ll suffer the same fate,” Darius said with a shrug.
     
    “Fate?” she looked up at him, fear gripping her.
     
    “If we battle, it’s to the death.”
     
    Death. She let the word hang in the air and the reality come crashing down on her.
     
    “That is, of course, unless Silas wants to continue his futile attempt at usurpation,” Darius added with a chuckle.
     
    “Chelsea, you have to go,” Silas whispered, grabbing onto her arm firmly and looking intently at her. She could see tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
     
    “I’ll take his place,” the woman who had comforted Chelsea stepped forward. Everyone turned to look at her. “I agree with what Silas said,” she spoke confidently. “He’s right. What we’re doing isn’t working. We need change.”
     
    Darius looked at her in disbelief. “If he can’t best me, there’s no way you will be able to!” he scoffed.
     
    “I’ll fight too,” another voice came from the other side of the ring.
     
    “Me, too,” another yelled out. And then another, and another. Before Chelsea could really process what was happening, there were at least a dozen people that had stepped forward to show their support for Silas.
     
    Darius shouted, panic on his voice for the first time, “you’re going to stand with him? I’ve led you for the last decade! I alone have kept us alive!”
     
    “They’ve made their choice,” Silas said pushing himself up.

    Darius turned to look at him, hate, anger, and fear in his eyes. “So, what now, Silas? You’re going to kill me? You’re going to slit my throat and assume my throne?”
     
    Silas looked down at Chelsea and smiled. “No,” he said turning his focus back to Darius, “I’m not going to kill you. I’m going to exile you.”
     
    “Exile?” Darius choked. “To where?”
     
    “I don’t really care,” Silas said stepping forward. “There are millions of planets out there, Darius. I don’t care which one you choose, but you have to get the hell off of this one.”
     
    CHAPTER ELEVEN
     
    Silas naturally assumed the role as leader of their race. He made sweeping changes, and all of the subjects were scheduled to be sent home immediately.
     
    Chelsea sat, alone, in her cave, staring at the setting sun. Everything that had happened felt like a dream. And now, the dream was over.
     
    “Why so sad?” Silas asked, appearing suddenly at the entrance.
     
    “Not sad, nostalgic,” she corrected him.
     
    “Oh,” he said with a nod. He crossed the small space and sat next to her, taking her hand in his. “Why?”
     
    “I’m leaving. I know my time here hasn’t been the best, but, sadly enough, it’s still better than the life I have waiting for me when I get home.”
     
    “You don’t have to leave,” he said softly.
     
    She turned to look at him, her eyes wide. “What do you mean?”
     
    “I mean, if you want to stay, you can. That’s why I came to see you, actually.”
     
    “Really?”
     
    “I don’t want you to go, Chelsea. I need you by my side as I enter this new chapter of my life. It’s because of you that I had the courage to start it. I can’t imagine going through it without you.”
     
    “But,” she said, her hands shaking, “I’m not, I mean, I can’t—you know—turn into a dragon.”
     
    He laughed and pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her and planting a soft kiss on her lips, sending the feeling of comfort and happiness he gave her running through her.
     
    “And?” he asked when they pulled apart.
     
    “I can’t even
