"I will catch you later, I am going to take care of something," Lilith said and Cosmo smiled.
'Okay, I am going to go with the others for a night flight, Cal wanted to race, let's see what happens" Cosmo replied and Lilith laughed as the girl took out her songs then flew out the balcony and she smiled bright knowing that she was going to join herself with Cosmo once and for all.
"I have to find Rex I want to know what I can use the merge for," she said to herself as she walked in the hall heading to Rex's room when she heard someone crying and she stopped then looked at Claudia's room and sighed as she opened the door and saw the girl crying in the balcony.
"Claudia" Lilith called out as she walked into the girl's room and Claudia wiped her eyes then looked at Lilith smiled.
"Hi Lilith," she said.
"You okay?" Lilith asked.
"Yeah I am fine thanks" she responded and Lilith braced on the balcony's rail then looked at the girl sternly and she jumped.
'You know if something is bothering you, you can talk to me so go ahead and start talking" Lilith said and Claudia sighed.
"I am sorry about what I did earlier, I really am," she said and Lilith sighed.
'Stop apologizing, I said it's fine, is that what you are crying about?" Lilith asked and the girl frowned.
"I am like you guys, I like girls, I cannot marry someone I don't love or think about loving" she responded and Lilith gasped then remembered her situation with Ash and sighed.
'Your parents?" she asked and the girl nodded yes.
'Don't let anyone decide your future especially if you are not going to be happy with it, don't pretend to be someone you are not, and hide your real self.
"Your parents know?" she asked.
"Yeah, but they said that a royal cannot be like that, I have to get married to the guy they choose for me or a guy I like not a girl" she responded and Lilith sighed.
'Claudia from what I have seen you are strong, you cannot let them decide what's right for you when you know it's going to make you unhappy, fight for what you want if you want you can let me have a word what your parents I am sure they will listen" Lilith said and the girl smiled.
'Really you would do that?" Claudia asked and Lilith smiled.
'Of course, I will, you need the help, your parents won't listen to you" she responded then patted Claudia on the head and the girl's eyes widened as they sparkled while looking at Lilith.
"Thank you very much, I am just afraid I will get cast aside, this is a cruel world we live in," Claudia said and Lilith smiled.
'I understand the way you feel, sometimes I felt the same way but I have a great girl by my side, she cleared all of that for me and now I know I don't have to care about what the world thinks, they can burn in the pit of hell for all I care, don't worry about what others think of you, do what you love, be what you truly are" she said and Claudia smiled then hugged Lilith and att the same time Cosmo was flying by and saw.
'These two are close huh?" Cosmo asked and Cal sighed.
'It's just a hug" Cal responded.
"An adorable and affectionate one, you won't understand," she said as she looked at them.
'My my you are just jealous" Cal said and Cosmo sighed.
"I am not jealous," she said and Cal sighed.
"You are fine Claudia, just relax and get some sleep," Lilith said as the girl raised up then Lilith wiped her tears and Cosmo's eyes glowed.
'What the hell is this?" Cosmo asked then Lilith left the room and Cosmo flew off with Cal and a few others.
'She is very sweet" Claudia said with a smile as her eyes glowed purple and she looked up at the night sky then sighed and flew up with her body glowing as a blue flower formed in the sky and she danced on it and upon seeing that Cosmo and the others went to her and Lilith saw as she was about to go to Rex and she smiled then took out her wings and flew up in the sky.
'That's beautiful" Lilith said as Cosmo and the others came.
"Thanks," Claudia said and Lilith looked at Cosmo then smiled.
'Want to dance?" Claudia asked and Cosmo folded her cuffs then sighed.
"Uh... maybe another time" Lilith responded and Claudia looked at Cosmo then smiled.
'Come on" Cosmo said as she pulled Lilith and they looked down at the glass flower and stood lighting on it.
'It's not glass, only look like it, my power created them, I use my powers to form different things, it's strong" Claudia said and they smiled as the fairies came and started playing music as Cosmo placed her hand around Lilith's waist and they began dancing as flower petals floated around them and Claudia smiled.
'So you guys are having fun without me?" Rex asked as he came and they laughed then Rex smiled in relief.
"Why are you so nice to her?" Cosmo asked and Lilith smiled.
'You are jealous" Lilith responded and Cosmo pouted then Lilith smiled.
"You are my number one, relax," she said and Cosmo's eyes widened then she smiled and they stopped dancing then Rex brought all of Lilith's friends and placed them on the flower by teleportation.
"You guys dance, if you want," Lilith said and Vivian laughed as she grabbed onto Ash and they began dancing then Lilith smiled and sighed in relief.
"They all look so happy," Lilith said and Cosmo smiled.
'Thye sure do" she replied as the mark on Lilith's hand started glowing and Rex looked at her as she kissed Cosmo and Cosmo's body started glowing and her glow stretched onto Lilith's body causing the mark to expand and Lilith's eyes started changing colors as both of their bodies glowed brighter and everyone looked at them as the glow reflected in the sky then she raised off of Cosmo while the girl left staring at her.
'Wow that was unexpected" Cosmo said and Lilith smiled.
'Lilith, we need to discuss a few things now can you come with me for a while?" Rex asked.
'Go on" Cosmo said and she smiled then went back to the castle with Rex and both of them went to his room nd he locked the door.
'So is it done?" Rex asked.
'Peart of the merging yes, now all I have to do is use the power, I will complete the merge when I fight my father" she responded and he sighed then the mark disappeared.
'Well there is no going back now" he said and she smiled.
'I know that very well and you don't have to worry so much you know" she replied and he smiled.
'You know I can't help it, there is a huge possibility that you will die" he said and she smiled then patted him on the head.
"It will be fine, the eternal merge is complete, now all I have to do is join my powers with hers, this merge will make me switch places with her when I want to, whenever she is in danger I will take her space, I can now sense her from a mile away, track her down where she might be, I am now stronger," she said.
'Yes I know but now I will be harder for you to keep your phoenix at bay" he replied and she smiled.
'I am not going to keep it at bay, not now or ever" she said.
'You sure thought about this well the last stage is joint souls, you have to join yourself with hers, upon doing so the phoenix will rise and then no one will be able to get in your way, you have to keep the power under your control, if you die you will be reincarnated for her sake, she will always be reborn but not without you, if you are not there, there will be no red dragon" he said and she smiled.
'I know that but if I do by his hand, there will be a red dragon because of the merge, if I die at his hands I will not be able to reincarnate, which is not a bad thing" she replied and he sighed.
'Tell me how come Cosmo didn't sense the merge?" he asked and she smiled.
'The kiss, it distracted her body and soul everything was gone at that moment, she thought it's the way she felt made the sky lit up, it was the merge" she responded and he smiled.
"Well since we are already at this point and you know what you have to do I want you to make sure we win, we will all be by your side Lilith, please don't die, try your best not to," he said and she smiled.
"I will try but if I do one thing is certain, I will die winning this fight not the other way around" she replied and he hugged her tightly then she smiled.
"You merged unknown to her, now she will sense your powers grow she will try to do something stupid but she will not know it's a merge so relax," he said as he raised up and Lilith smiled then sighed in relief as she looked at herself in the mirror then took out her wings and flew out the room through the balcony and her wings glowed brightly and upon seeing that Cosmo smiled.
