''Marina never was completely death, she slumbered.. Remember she is a sorceress? She put a spell on her own body when she knew she would die and that gave her the power to, as a spirit, live with Belfire and see how Elsbeth grew up and even guide her... Who do you think actually brought Elsbeth that first night to your cave?'' Starector said. ''But yes, you are right, if she stays here and she wants to, then someone from her own bloodline has to die.. But it isn't Elsbeth or Derik'' she said. She looked at the Mike. ''You are smart Mike, but don't think I do things just for the fun of it, I am a lot but not someone that makes fun of live'' she said and then walked of. In those last words was a small warning that he never should take her for granted.
Elsbeth looked at Mike and smiled. ''Honey.. I want you to meet my mother'' she said and Marina looked at Mike. ''I know very well who he is, I also knew, long before you met, that you two would marry'' she said with a soft giggle. Belfire walked to his wife and daughter and stood behind them. ''Mike, come here, I would love to get the royal painter a sketch of us all together so he can make a painting from us as a family'' he said. The royal painter came up with a pencil and paper and looked at the pose and waited for Mike to get there too.
