End (End of Volume)

(Very long chapter)

Dorian sat down next to Helena's bed as she rested, looking at her with only a small hint of worry. The reassurances he'd received from the Shade King that she would wake soon had calmed him, but he couldn't help how he felt.

He sighed, rubbing his forehead slightly.

"We've got a lot to do, smalls." He muttered, looking at her wryly.

He had successfully managed to convince the Shade King to at least attempt a ceasefire using the two of them.

After his attempt at convincing the Shade King succeeded, the powerful ruler had finally explained to Dorian why everything was happening. It had to do with a core secret that very, very few people were aware of.

It had to do with the origins of the Shade Race.
