“Stone, I know you’re up here.” Zorak says changing himself back into a human. Looking everywhere, he heard the door open from behind but didn’t turn around to see who, he knew who it was. “Damian, you’re late as usual.” Zorak explains as Damian, his apprentice apologizes.

Dalton finally gathered what strength he had left and with some help with his crows, they helped him up, and backed away so he could spread his wings. Once his wings were fully in form, he flew to the roof to help his crows and his apprentice.

Damian turned into a wolf and sniffed out Stone, he found him hidden in the crows which looked like a black cloud. Damian attacked the crows and they fled, leaving Stone almost helpless.

Some of the crows flew down to attack Damian in his still wolf form but they were no match. Dalton finally got to the roof just in time before Zorak could crumble his apprentice. “Your battle is with me.” Dalton explains as he summons poisonous feather darts which were impossible to destroy.

Zorak had to dodge the attack and with his staff, summoned up a large powerful net to capture Dalton. Dalton flew as fast and as far as he could but to no avail, the net caught him, sending him to the hard ground of the roof.

“Now Dalton, your time is up.” Zorak explains as Damian turned back into a human and smiled evilly as he watches his master finally “destroy” their enemy. With Dalton helpless and still in the net, Stone looks over and starts going in rage.

All of a sudden Stone dropped the rifle that Dalton had given to him an hour ago, black wings start coming out of him, his eyes turn blood red, seeing everything, and all the crows near and far are gathering around him, ready to do his command.

“Get them.” Stone commanded as the crows flew towards Zorak and Damian who tried their best to defend themselves and kill the flock of crows. Stone flew over to his master and cut the wings with a feather sword. “You alright?” Stone asks as

Dalton smiled and said, “Never better, seems like your powers trust you. Seeing who I was, I assume they knew that you were my only hope.” Stone nodded as he helped him up.

Dalton battled out against Zorak while Stone battled out against Damian. The sky slowly start turning the way the night sky should look, the people were starting to come back, and the noises could be heard at last.

“Be gone Zorak, Damian, you will never get Stone, not while I’m still here and alive.” Dalton explains as he and Stone get ready for their final blow. “Oh we will, mark my words.” Zorak says as he and Damian disappear before they could be destroyed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So when do you think they will return?” Stone asks leaning over the roof to watch the Ball Drop. “Hard to know but I’m guessing when he’s at his full powers” Dalton explains his back towards the roof as he looks up in the sky.

After the traditional Ball Drop was over, they head downstairs for something to eat. “Ah! I’m never going to get used to that dinosaur in the center of all things.” Stone explains as Dalton chuckles a bit as they head towards the kitchen and then rest.

But they both knew very well that Zorak and Damian will come back but… they’ll be ready and more powerful than ever before then Stone will finally become Lord of the Crows.
