All of the rooms where dark in the Wacchund manor, all except for one lantern being carried by Abraham to his younger sister's room. He reaches the dark wooden door that has a small flame carved into it, he opens it slowly to see inside of a dark semi warm room that is illuminated by the dying coals in the fireplace. Abraham's sister, Amethyst lays down in her bed sleeping without a care in the world. Abraham walks in and sits at the edge of his little sister's bed. "Amethyst, wake up." he says to her. Amethyst only groans "five more minutes..." she mumbles. "But if you sleep the entire day away, then your going to miss your Birthday." he says to her. With that being said Amethyst's eyes opened wide as she bolts up in bed. "THAT'S TODAY?" she yells with excitement. Abraham nods to his little sister. "Come on, today is your day to do whatever you want. I will allow you to drag me wherever you want in town today." He says as he gets up and goes to his sister's closet and opens it bringing out a purple and black dress. He lays the dress down on Amethyst's bed and walks out into the hallway. "Come out when you are ready, I will make you breakfast." says Abraham as he closes the door, leaving his lantern in Amethyst's room.

After what felt like an Hour Amethyst came down to the dinning room table, wearing her black and purple dress and sits down at one of the sides of the table. Abraham comes in carrying a plate that has two slices of freshly baked bread and eggs along with a sausage. He sets the plate infront of Amethyst. "Thank you." she says to him as she starts to eat slowly. When finishing, she smiles as her brother takes the plate away and into the kitchen. After doing that, he comes back. "Shall we go Sister?" asks Abraham, "We shall." says Amethyst as she gets up from her chair and walks with her brother to the front door. "I assume you have informed Mother and Father about my plans?" asks Amethyst as she grabs a black umbrella. "I have, and father told me. 'Since it is her Birthday, you are allowed to keep her out all night. Except past Midnight!' Mother was fine and sees no harm in it." says Abraham as he opens the door and stands to the side to let his sister out first. "Good." says Amethyst.

Amethyst spent her 19th birthday dragging her brother from place to place, she stopped when it got dark. When it got dark Abraham put a blindfold over his sister's eyes and led her to a hill, once on the hill Amethyst took her blindfold off and looked up to see the stars. She loved looking at all of the stars and try to find all of the Constellations. They both fell asleep on the hill watching the stars on their back. Abraham woke up and carried his sister back home quietly...

Amethyst woke up with a jolt as Abraham shakes her awake, a tear going down his face. "Mother and f-father are.....gone..." says Abraham. Amethyst shakes her head and then her arms as she tries to get out of her brother's hug reaching for the manor. "LIES, THEIR STILL THERE!!! MOTHER FATHER!!!!!" screams Amethyst. due to all the tears Amethyst and Abraham shed the fell asleep at the steps to the door. The townsfolk came back, and grabbed the two siblings and dragged them to a large tree infront of the manor. Abraham and Amethyst where awake and held each other's hand tightly, not wanting to get separated. their visions blur, and their hearts stop. The last of the Wacchund family is gone, no more townsfolk will die in their beds from blood loss.

Abraham the Dragon King jolts up from his desk in shock, panting from the nightmare he had. His breathing was slow, as his head started to ring slightly. He gets up and stretches and walks over to the black egg in the pillow and blanket made nest. He touches the shell and feels the warmth, and the start of a small heartbeat. "Good, you seem to be halfway there." says Abraham as he quivers and tries to move past that memory from his past life. Spiritus comes down from the beams above him and wraps his wings around Abraham, calming him down.
