Malik and Altaïr stood, looking at Amber still. "I agree. We have been through so much that you shouldnt that you dont need to sacrifice yourself and leave everything you hold precious. Don't just waist your life without trying to find other ways that won't lead to such bloodshed." The Grand Master Assassin explained, knowing how such things went and now knowing the consequences of such things. He knew such actions would cause others pain.
Riku shook his head. "I can't let you do that either. After all that we have been through, you want to throw that away? Amber, I love you and you know that. You have friends that love you. Altaïr's right. Look for other options. Let us help you fix your mistakes. Together." The young warrior told her. It almost felt like deja vu. But only this time it was different.
She looked at all of them, tears in her eyes. "Thank you...all of you....you don't ow much...this means to me...for so long I was alone and thought I had lost everything....but now I see that I am no longer alone..." Scarlet went over to her and hugged her saying "and no matter what happens....you will never be alone again...."

Malik smiled, glad that Amber knew she was never alone. The one armed assassin walked over and put a hand on her shoulder comfortingly as did Altaïr (he wasn't a hugger). Riku wrapped her arms around her waist, hugging her from behind. "Never forget that Amber."
Amber lowered her head, tears running down her cheeks as she cried silently. Numair smiled and Helios nodded. They were in this together, no matter what.

Riku still hugged her as she cried silently. Letting her cry till she was better. He was sure Scarlet would so the same and that was good. Altaïr managed to smile a little. But not in most ways where it was a smile from the battlefield. But from the heart. The Grand Master didnt always have that. However to see someone this happy made him realize how good it felt to have friends. To know they weren't alone like this and when things were crumbling around them, he was one of the ones to help them out till the end.
When Amber managed to compose herself once again and felt better, Riku looked up, leaning his head softly against hers, his hair colliding with hers as it got in his face a little. "Amber? You gonna be okay?" The warrior whispered curiously.
She nodded, wiping her eyes and said "I will be...I know I will be...but first we need to free Dracion...and I think I know how to do just that" Scarlet stepped back and said "How?" Amber smiled and said "It was you who gave me the idea. When Dracion used her shadows to control you, her body was left alone. Ulle must in there with her. So all we have to do is get her to do that again and then place a seal on her that will keep him from coming back"

Altaïr tilted his head to the side a little. This meant he had to get in trouble didnt he? This would be interesting. "So like reacting my mistake? Am I needed for this too?" Altair asked curiously as he removed his hand from her shoulder and stepped back. "I am sure Ulle will need plenty of distractions."
Malik sighed at this. Altaïr was considered a master but Ulle seemed to have years upon years of experience. He was probably toying with Altaïr. Maybe even with Malik and Kadar's help. But if Amber thought that could work, then so be it.
She nodded and said "but not in the way you think. I need all of you to place that seal. And someone to fight me. For I'm going to be the bait. And he will try and control me. When he leaves his body, that's when you guys act and put the seal on"

Altair understood this but had no idea who would be able to fight her and expect to fight her and hold out. Not even Malik or Riku knew. Riku felt he couldn't because it was Amber they were talking about. He didn't know her full strength like his father did or maybe even Dante. "So we place the seal on Dracion when Ulle goes after you, but what do we do then?" He didnt know if she spoke about what happened after that. His mind was trying to understand everything without getting too confused. This was stuff he didn't understand so well.
She said "then Ulle will have no where to go and then I do my thing and then I keep him from attaching to anyone else. Then we find a way to defeat him....some how..." She sighed and rubbed her wounds, closing her eyes
