Epilogue

Blake and Sara had found guild leader Lania in the prison under the guild mansion. She said that she thought he would kill her, but he must of had some reason to keep her alive. She was grateful to them for freeing her and her town, and in fact saving the world. Blake accepted the gratitude but appeared anxious to leave. So Lania let them go, and began the long task of rebuilding Vane to its former glory.

Later...

"Sara... I have to tell you something."

"What is it Blake?"

"I care about you a great deal... but I am not what I appear to be."

Sara looked at him. "What do you mean?"

Blake told her to stay put and walked away from her, he said a few magic words. Suddenly Sara was looking up at a very large dragon.

"Sara... I am the black dragon."

"No..." She turned away.

He took a step forward and looked down at her.

"Sara..."

Sara turned and yelled up at him.

"Stay away from me!"

He looked surprised.

"Sara, I'm still Blake..."

"You lied to me! I thought you cared about me!"

"But I do..."

"You're a beast! Your not even human!"

He lowered his head, looking hurt.

"I may be a dragon, but I am not a beast, Sara I lo..."

"Stop," she said, crying, "don't say it, I just can't... not with a dragon."

"But why..."

Sara turned away. "I'm going to return to Meribia... please... don't follow me."

Blake returned to his human form and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Please Sara... don't..."

Sara turned to look at him one last time, the tears glittering on her cheeks.

"I can't, not with you. I'm sorry."

Blake looked down. "If that is your wish... I will teleport you to Meribia and leave you be."

"Thank you... Blake."

Blake left Sara at Meribia. He had completed his mission, his reason for becoming a dragonmaster. But he was not ready to return to his cave, to return to doing nothing. There was more to do in this world, Zir might be gone but other people needed help. Dragonmaster Blake would offer his assistance to any who needed it, and try not to think of the past. Blake clutched the white dragons wings in his hands, a single tear fell apon them.

White light swirled around him and he was gone. Blake continued his journey... alone.

Back to Dragonmaster Blake.

Back to the Library of Vane.

Back to the Shrine to Ghaleon.
