"You won't understand Ares, but with time you will," Lord Daniel said to him. "Let's go," he added.

Galore Kingdom:
It was almost morning when Pula had arrived and was quickly taken to the room Vala was.
Ruthless felt it when the wall was broken but he couldn't do anything. His focus was on his wife.
"What is delaying my babies? They should have come out by now."
"My Prince, you know your wife is a demon and demons stayed some hours before they give birth unlike-"
"That's enough," Ruthless interrupted her, "Be fast and free my wife from this pain. just know that if anything happens to my wife or babies oh, I pity your generations that are yet to come." he ended with a warning tone.
A knock sounded at the door.
"Who is it?"
"Sorry for the interruption my Prince, your father requested your attention immediately at the throne room."
"I will be there," Ruthless said and was careful to remove his hand from Vala's mouth. He heard the running feet of the guard. "I will be back Vala, stay strong for me." He added and pecked Vala on her forehead, their contact bringing out a little puff smoke, the kind that fire and water make when they come in contact.
He teleported himself to Galore throne room and saw his father with a guard who was drinking water.
"Yes father, you sent for me."
"I did," Galore said, facing his son and pointed at the guard drinking water, "He just reported that there are some creatures heading towards here. He had left the guards who were stationed at the boundary of the wolf kingdom and ran to inform us." He explained.
"Okay, get the guards ready while I will go and meet Vala to tell her about it. I will be back to join you father," Ruthless said and didn't wait to hear his father's response before he teleported himself back to his room.
With one final shout, Vala pushed out one before the second followed.
Cleaning the twins up and wrapping them in a piece of tunic each, she gave the children to Ruthless.
"It is a boy and a girl," she said as Ruthless carried the small two little babies in his arms each with care.
Oddly to the surprise of the midwife and Pula, both children have rainbow hair.
Bringing them closer to Vala who has grown weak, so weak that she couldn't even lift up her head to properly look at her babies, Pula helped her in that aspect.
"They are so cute," Vala said weakly, staring at her children with happiness. The joy of seeing them gave her a little strength, "I want to carry them," she added as she rested herself on the wall behind her and her husband carefully gave her the babies. "Aww, they look so much like you, Winter."
"That's a lie, our daughter is as beautiful as you,"
"And our son is as handsome as you,"
Ruthless opened his mouth to speak but the arrival of the Falcons stopped him, the noise they were making was so loud.
"What is going on?" Vala asked.
"The wall that I use in protecting the people from the falcons have been broken and they are here, which means, Daniel will be here with them. I need to go and help my father." Ruthless told her. "Galore can't face him alone."
"This is happening sooner than I thought, please I don't want anything to happen to you or to my father-in-law."
"Nothing will happen to us," Ruthless said. "You are weak Vala, rest, I will be back before you know it," he promised.
"Are you sure or you are just pulling my legs?"
"I don't go back on my words my beautiful Vala, I promise to come back," Ruthless said, "Wait for me."

Coming outside to join his father and the guards with him at the palace compound, Ruthless saw that the falcons were almost at the palace gate.
"They are not hurting the people, it seems they were giving orders to head straight to here," Galore said and a portal appeared not too far from Galore and Ruthless. The falcons, who had broken down the gate, all came to a halt when they saw the Portal.
"You're right Galore, I ordered them," Lord Daniel said, stepping out of the portal, following closely was Zelik and the portal closed.
"You? What are you doing here Daniel?" Galore asked in surprise.
"And what do you think I am doing Galore? For so many years you have taken what is mine,"
"And what is that?" Galore demanded.
"The throne,"
"If you need the throne, you have to fight me but not with your strange creatures."
"Oh, forgive my bad, I did not come here to exchange words with you Galore, I am only here for three things, the throne, kill Ruthless and take back my mate from him," Lord Daniel announced.
"In your dreams," Ruthless said and wanted to continue when the voice of Lati interupted him.
"What mate are you talking about Daniel? Are you forgotten something or should I remind you?" Queen Lati asked as she made her appearance known with her son Blue. "Do you want me to----" she didn't get to complete her statement when a sharp blade from nowhere sliced through her neck, chopping off her neck from the rest of her body. Her whole body vibrated and began to swell before it burst, only her head remained.
Ruthless was fast to drag Blue away from his mother, if not, he would have had the same date with Lati. The blade returned back to its owner, Zelik.
"I just hate hearing her voice, now, she has been put to silence forever," Lord Daniel said with a smirk.
Galore couldn't believe his eyes, he ran towards Lord Daniel in anger.
"Attack them, kill the guards except them," Lord Daniel pointed at Blue, Ruthless and an approaching Galore.
Ruthless tried to use his ice powers on the falcons but to his surprise the ice couldn't penetrate them.
The fight began....
Ruthless and Blue trying to fight as many falcons as they can, Blue was fighting in his wolf form while Ruthless tried to use his Ice sword to fight the falcons who refused to die.
'Let us out master," Ruthless four spirit beasts said in his mind but Ruthless ignored their voices and focused on the fight before him.
Galore, who had lost almost 97% of all his powers and strength when he had chained Haule and Lord Daniel in the River of Abss, tried to fight off Lord Daniel but Zelik blocked him and they both started fighting each other.
Though Galore managed to cut a few flesh, but that was it.
Lord Daniel who had been watching teleported himself to the back of Ruthless and tried to attack him from behind but Ruthless was fast and escaped Daniel trap.
When he wanted to use his fire Powers on Daniel he found out he couldn't, the fire quenches whenever they touch Lord Daniel's body.
Ruthless paused in shock to stare at his hands giving Lord Daniel the opportunity to strike him.
Everything happened so fast that before Ruthless would realize what was happening, Lord Daniel had chopped off one of his arms and had rooted him to the spot.
"One of the rules given to you as your punishment, you cannot hurt a Nilela, you are weak," Lord Daniel said, smirking widely. A portal opened and his mother stepped out.
The falcons quickly killed the guards remaining.
Seeing the new person, Galore stopped in shock.
"Flower?"
The woman smiled and made Galore to stand still. Zelik left Galore and went to overpowered Blue, though he didn't kill him.
"Surprise to see me?
"Are you doing this because I rejected you?" Galore said, "Please stop this, we can settle amicably."
Flower laughed, "You are mixing it up Galore, Daniel my son."
"Where did you go mother?" Lord Daniel asks leaving Ruthless and going to meet his mother.
"I went to visit those two Lord's, the fourth and the fifth Lord's, you know to stop them from coming.
Hearing that name and seeing the bearer of that name shocked Ruthless, he ignored the pain and focused on his mother.
"Mother....I thought you are dead?"
"I am not dead, I just did that to achieve my aim," flower said.
"Mother....Why?"
Walking close to him as she took the same sword Daniel had used on him, "First of all, I am not your mother, I stole you away from your real mother." Flower said and thrust the sword into Ruthless stomach. "Remember this sword, it was you who gave it to me as a present." she brought out the sword, twisting it as does so. "Sad, you will die in the hands of what you created."
Taking the sword from his mother, Lord Daniel raised it up, "Thanks for gifting me with the falcon's brother, don't blame me for taking what is mine, and this, is for touching my mate." he said and swung the sword chopping off Ruthless two legs.
Ruthless fell down with a loud thud as Galore screamed.
Pains, a lot of pains greeted Ruthless. He never expected it would turn out this way.
He could feel his death coming, slowly..... Lord Daniel raised the sword and this time around, aimed for Ruthless heart.
'Go, protect my mate and babies, take them out of here. She is now your new owner.' He commanded his spirit beasts through his mind with his last strength before he closed his eyes, his breath ceased.
Winter......died.
