They know exactly who took her and they know they must face him alone. There is no one they can ask for help. If anyone ever knew what they did to win the fight back then it would bring all of their lives crashing down around them. They must instead face their pasts alone, hand in hand, or risk falling to an evil that thinks of nothing but making them his. The immense magic and strength of friendship saved them once. Will it be enough to erase him from their lives forever?
