Edge sobbed bitterly, unable to think or act. It felt like Path would perk back up anytime soon, but he was dead. It didn't feel real. It couldn't have been real, not his big strong knight! What kind of a king was he, what kind of god couldn't protect the single white dragon he ever cared about? He was stuck in a rut, only feeling sorry for himself. However, something else was going to happen. 

All of a sudden, Edge was being hugged by warm tiny arms. Though his heart was breaking, it suddenly felt... better? Had this other male saved him? The hydra took a deep breath of air and sighed in relief, before crying again because of his mate. His newly dead mate that lay before him... Edge couldn't bear to look. As he did finally raise his gaze, the boy's eyes widened in shock. "Sleipnir !" He screamed. He then turned to the other boy hugging him. "Skylark!" He then locked ryes with the tall hydra who had brought his kids to the battlefield- Leo. 

His eyes were burning with anger and malice; Edge wouldn't hesitate to torture Leo until he wished he had never been made into a hydra. Before he could, though, Skylark commanded his subordinate. "Leo, come and kiss me!" Edge gasped in surprise as Leo obeyed and his son had the nerve to command. Edge was wise enough to know not to correct his son; for he could just as easily be turned into a puppet. Skylark didn't seem to see Path yet, too busy with giggling with his new toy. 

"Look, Daddy! I made a slave!" He sang, and Edge would be lying if he wasn't at least a little happy. He knew Leo was lazy, so maybe he handed himself over. 

"Good for you, baby! Make more once your strings,r but we have bigger problems,.." He didn't ask irrlelvant questions like how or why they were here. Sleipnir had mended his heart for a reason; so he could potentially save his Path-Path. Brushing Sleipnir to the side, Edge kissed the top of his head, "Everything will be alright. I know how to fix this. Do not be afraid, my love." 

With that, the hydra placed a single hand on Path's wound, where the crystal was. It began to darken until it was black. It then encased the dragon's corpse. "This is called the theory of light, boys. If we manage to amplify enough light, we can restore Father's life energy." He hugged both his sons. Skylark, began to cry as he saw Father's body for the first time. 

Edge snickered at Leo. "Are you happy being my son's little puppy?" Skylark hugged his Daddy, 

"Leo, you are becoming a cute puppy... feel your mind drifting away... Come give me some love!" He sang,.

Charon shivered. "I'm real good on my knees, what do you plan to do...?"
