Things were never the same around the bathhouse again , but the change was definitely for the better . Not long after her return , Chihiro and Haku were married , or spiritually linked , as the spirits did it , creating an eternal bond between the two . It was a wonderful feeling , to be connected to someone in such a way , and Chihiro couldn 't be happier . They left the bathhouse for their honeymoon , spending it at the legendary castle in the sky , Laputa . After their return , lots of things began changing while others remained the same . According to Yubaba , one thing useful came out of Chihiro 's ' running away ' . The spirits she ran into on the way became regular customers . Chihiro squealed with joy when the storm spirit and forest spirit showed up one day with an infant . And speaking of infants , Bôh and the hill spirit , Ju - Ju , did indeed become very good friends , just as Chihiro predicted . Neither one of them wanted to ever grow up and most likely never would . Chihiro was a little nervous about meeting with the hill spirit again since they didn 't exactly part on the best of terms , but Ju - Ju had already forgiven her . Yuteela also came to the bathhouse . She no longer held a grudge against Chihiro and considered her somewhat of a friend . Yuteela did seem depressed a lot , but at least she wasn 't such an angry person anymore . Chihiro knew that the forest spirit was on the road to recovery and just needed time . Kamajii was still Kamajii . He and his soot balls continued to work in the boiler room . He stopped being so grouchy all the time and became a much more cheerful person , although he would snap at the soot balls every now and then . Clam was never seen or heard from again . The others were shocked when they discovered that he had been the one they had been searching for . Lin kept saying how Lord Okaia had been too easy on him while Haku would say how he wished he could have gotten to the toad first . As for Lord Okaia himself , he never spoke of what had happened and no one ever brought it up . Unfortunately , this story doesn 't have an entirely happy ending , not for some people . As Lord Okaia had predicted , Chihiro 's human friends and family were deeply upset by her disappearance . After several days of not seeing her friend , Mimi had called Chihiro 's parents . Chihiro became a missing person and after being searched for , for years , was eventually presumed dead . A funeral was even held for her . Chihiro 's parents mourned their daughter 's ' death ' , never once suspecting that rather than dying she had received eternal life . Mimi was upset as well , but at the same time , for some reason , she felt a little happy , because somehow she knew that Chihiro was in a better place , one where she belonged . As for Chihiro and Haku , well , things couldn 't have been better . Chihiro never , except for once , regretted her decision of staying . The only time she did was when the result of losing her parents finally hit her . She had cried , but Haku had been there to take care of her . They worked through it together and Chihiro eventually became her normal cheerful self again . After a few years of marriage , Haku and Chihiro had their first child , a baby girl . Bôh suggested naming their daughter Sen . Both Chihiro and Haku had to admit that they liked the idea and did just that . Four years later , they had twins , one boy and one girl . Haku suggested naming them Akio and Yuuko , after Chihiro 's parents , and Chihiro agreed . They decided to put off having anymore children , and , thanks to Zeniba , they found a spell that would prevent pregnancy . After all , they did have eternal youth , if you know what I mean , and they still acted like newlyweds , even after many years of being together . Still , Chihiro wondered if Yubaba knew about the spell back when she had her one - night - stand , which Bôh was the result of , but she decided it would be best not to ask . Time went on and life was good for Chihiro and her family . I cannot tell you what their future holds for I am mortal and they will live on long after I am gone . However , I will say this ; Lord Okaia took one last look into Chihiro and Haku 's future , and saw an eternity of happiness and love . ( A / N : And so it ends . I 'm happy and sad at the same time . Glad that I finished , but sad that it 's over . I hope everyone enjoyed my story . I would like to thank everyone who read and reviewed . THANK YOU , it really means a lot to me , more than I could ever say . But I regret to inform you that I have no plans to make a sequel . Sorry , I know that many of you wanted one . It hurts me more than it hurts you because it feels like I 'm letting my fans down . HOWEVER , I do have plans to write more fanfiction from the works of Miyazaki . So if you enjoyed this story , I hope you 'll look into my other ones that I write . I am currently working on one that 's a cross between ' Whisper of the Heart ' and ' The Cat Returns ' . It will be called ' Whisper of the Cat ' . I 'm nearly finished with the first chapter ; it should be up tomorrow . I have plans for others too , ' Princess Mononoke ' , ' Castle in the Sky ' , Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds ' , ' Howl 's Moving Castle ' , and even Miyazaki 's music video ' On Your Mark ' , and his manga ' The Journey of Shuna ' . Wow , I have a lot of work to do ! Who knows , maybe when I finish with them I 'll have an idea for a sequel for this story . In the meantime , I hope you enjoyed my story and will look into my other ones . So for the last time , please review , and thank you . See ya next time . ) Lord Okaia took a deep breath and let his power die down . He slowly walked over to the piece of coal that was once Clam and looked down at it . His back was turned so Chihiro could not see the look on his face , but she assumed that he was very upset . The sorcerer sighed and turned to her with a sad smile on his face . " Hello again , Chihiro . I 'm glad you were able to find the spirit of life . " He noticed her looking at the piece of coal and he sighed again . " I assume you 're wondering why I didn 't tell you about him . " Chihiro nodded . " When I looked into your future , I saw your confrontation with Clam . And though it resulted in his death , it worked out for the best , wouldn 't you agree ? " Lord Okaia nodded . " However , had I told you about him , things would have turned out differently . How would you have reacted when you saw that the one who wanted you dead was here to greet you ? How would Clam react once he saw that he no longer had the element of surprise ? " " Never going to harm anyone ever again . " said Lord Okaia , placing the lump of coal in his pocket . " I gave him a second chance , but he just wouldn 't stop . I knew he wouldn 't , and you almost died because of it . " " Took my true love away . " Lord Okaia finished . " Yes , he was . And after I stripped him of his power and dismissed him , he came here . Then he goes and tries to force the same fate upon you and Kohaku that he forced upon me . I couldn 't allow that . " Lord Okaia frowned . " I don 't , but someone was going to die . It was going to be either you or Clam . Now the question was who the killer would be . It was either going to be Clam , in which case the victim would be you , Kohaku , who would have killed Clam to protect you , and the third possible killer , " he took out a card and showed it to her ; it was a mirror , " was me . I would not allow Clam to kill you ; that was out of the question . And Kohaku has yet to take a life . Though him taking Clam 's life would not be considered an act of evil , I did not want him to have to experience taking a life . Some spirits aren 't bothered by taking others ' lives , and then there are those who won 't be able to sleep at night for a long time with the knowledge that they took a life . I didn 't want to risk Kohaku experiencing that . So I took the burden upon myself , even though I hate violence . " Lord Okaia held up his hand to silence her . " You don 't have to say anything . I am happy to take the pain of others so they may be happy . And now is the time for you to be happy . " She turned around and ran towards the bathhouse . Lord Okaia watched her go . He was happy for her and Kohaku ; they could have a life together with the one they loved , something that he knew he could never have . But he was happy . Happier than he had been in a long time . Haku could hear voices . That was good ; it meant that he was nearly awake . He could already feel his body fighting off the affects of the sleeping herbs . He shouldn 't have woken up for at least another day and a half , but his mind was stronger than his body , and his mind was determine to wake up . His eyes snapped open and he was suddenly wide - awake and feeling well rested . But that didn 't matter to him ; not if what he heard was true . Throwing off the covers , he hopped out of bed . He was still dressed in his clothes from yesterday , but even if he wasn 't he would have ran out of his room as if his life depended on it . " Chihiro ? " the spirit asked . Haku nodded . " Yes , there was a commotion outside and someone went to check on it . They said they spotted her coming this way - Hey ! " Haku practically threw the spirit aside as he raced to the front doors . There was already a crowd outside talking excitedly . Most of them moved aside when they saw Haku coming . " So you 're finally up . " Came a familiar voice . It was Lin , and she was giving Haku a very smug look . " Just in time too . " Haku glared at her . " I 'll be angry at you and the others for what you did later . " He turned back to the bridge and saw the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on walking towards the bathhouse . " Chihiro … " Chihiro 's face fell slightly when she saw that she would have to deal with the witch before she could go to Haku . " Hi , Yubaba . " She said , trying to sound cheerful . Yubaba 's eyes narrowed as she glared at her . " Back again , are you ? " Chihiro nodded . " You know , I just can 't figure you out . You keep saying that you want to stay , and then you keep leaving . I don 't like job - hoppers . Make up your mind . Do you want to stay , or not ? " " Don 't play dumb ! " Yubaba snapped . " You know exactly what I 'm talking about ! Sneaking into my office and stealing my train ticket ! Who do you think you are , Lupin the 3rd ? " " What are you talking about ? I didn 't steal any … " Then Chihiro realized that Bôh must not have told his mother about giving her the tickets . " Oh , no . I didn 't steal them . They - " " Don 't lie ! " Yubaba shouted . " You can 't fool me . How dare you do such a thing after all I 've done for you . I should send you to the pigpen for a month . " Yubaba visibly winced at the tone in the river spirit 's voice . She knew that if she did anything to harm Chihiro , Haku would do worse to her . She wasn 't planning on carrying out her threat , just to remind Chihiro who was in charge . Chihiro on the other hand was finally fed up . All these people kept thinking that they could boss her around and do whatever they wanted with her just because they were powerful . But now she had that power too , and she was going to stand up for herself and not let anyone push her around anymore . Yubaba may be her employer , but there was no way she was going to threaten to turn her into a pig , or coal , or any other thing that popped into the witch 's mind . " Yubaba , I did not steal from you ! " she snapped . " And I am tired of you threatening me . If you 're going to send me to the pigpen , then do it now . Here 's your chance , and it 's the only one I 'm giving you . " " Chihiro , don 't ! " Haku cried . If Yubaba did do anything , he would simply reverse it , but he didn 't want anything to happen to begin with . Chihiro smiled . Somehow she knew that the powers she was given were stronger than Yubaba 's . It was like a sixth sense , and Yubaba didn 't seem to notice the difference in her . She formed a ball of magic , putting all her power into this last spell . She was convinced that no tricks the human used could stop this . She would also extend the punishment to three months for being cheeky . Yubaba threw the ball of magic . This time Chihiro had to physically block the spell . She caught it in her hand and held it until the magic ran out . Once the magic faded she gave the stunned witch a smug look . Yubaba 's mouth was hanging open in pure shock . " B - B - But … h - how did you … you … My spell . You should be able to do that , unless you 're a … a … " Chihiro smiled . " Yes , I have gone to see Lord Okaia and the spirit of life . I was granted the opportunity to become a spirit and I took it . There 's just one more thing I have to do to complete my transformation . " She calmly walked across the bridge , stopping only to say to Yubaba , " And I didn 't steal those tickets . Bôh gave them to me . " " Wha - " Bôh gave her the tickets ? How come she was the last to know ? She turned to the crowd , knowing that Bôh was in there somewhere . She spotted his baby face surrounded by several spirits . " Sweetie , is this true ? " Haku 's heart was pounding as Chihiro approached him . She was radiating with love and happiness , and it was all directed at him . He loved her so much and yet he hadn 't told her how he felt . She had confessed to him . She had managed to work up the courage to tell him . And then she had gone on a journey that could result in her death just to be with him . He would have done the same , of that he was certain of . Just to spend one day with her would have been worth it , but what he really wanted was forever . And if it was true and she had become a spirit , then they could have it . Haku was struggling to find something , anything , to say . " Chihiro , I was so worried about you . " he said , before mentally scolding himself for saying like that , wondering why couldn 't say what he really wanted . Chihiro just smiled . " This was my choice , Haku . I told you I loved you . I was willing to do anything to be with you , even if you didn 't love me back . " It was now or never . " I do love you , Chihiro . I love you more than you could ever know . I 've just been afraid . Afraid to love a human . " Chihiro reached up and rested her hand against his cheek . " I know . But I 'm not human anymore . " She said smiling . " Or at least I won 't be after this . " And she kissed him . It was their first kiss . A truly magical one , both figuratively and literally . As the two poured all their love and emotion into each other , Chihiro began to glow as her transformation began . Had she not been caught up in the moment , she would have noticed all the cheers from everyone and the voice of the spirit of life speaking to her . Both Chihiro and Haku wanted this moment to last forever , but certain events prevented it . The golden light began to lift Chihiro away from Haku . The two stayed connected as long as possible , but Chihiro was eventually lifted too high up and their lips separated . She could feel it . She was changing in both body and soul . This was much more intense then when her transformation first began . But it wasn 't unpleasant . No , it was glorious . She felt like she had been reborn , like she was truly alive for the first time . The golden light began to fade away as the transformation came to an end . Chihiro couldn 't describe the sensation she was feeling . It was marvelous . And it was only the beginning of her new life . She reached into herself and found what she was looking for . She called it forward and felt her body change . She switched from her human form to her dragon form . Haku 's eyes were wide in awe as he watched Chihiro make her transformation . When she turned into her dragon form , he couldn 't resist . He changed into his own dragon form and joined her in the air . She was just as beautiful in her dragon form as she was in her human . Pink scales covered her body and hair , the same brown color as her human form , ran down her back in the same fashion as Haku , only longer . The two dragons intertwined with each other in a loving embrace in the air , resting their foreheads together and gazing lovingly into each other 's eyes . On the ground , several people were crying tears of joy . Surprisingly , even Yubaba 's eyes were a little watery , but she did a very good job at hiding it . Lin sniffed , trying hard not to cry . " Oh , shut up ! " she snapped . " You 're ruining the moment . Just look at how happy they are . " Bôh was positively beaming and clapping his hands . " Yay ! They did it ! Yay ! " His joy turned to confusion as he watched the two dragons turn back into their human forms and fly up into one of the top windows of the bathhouse . " Hey , where they going ? " Yubaba was getting a very uncomfortable feeling of déjà vu from Bôh 's question and did not want to get into that conversation again . " Ok , everyone , back to work . The mushy stuff is over . You 'll see much more of that stuff between them in the future . And you are all going to give those two some time alone . And no one is to bother them until they come out . Understood ? " " Yeah . " Lin agreed . " But she 's right , those two deserve some time alone together . And I don 't think anyone would want to walk in on them anyway . " Chihiro flew through the air , pulling No - Face along with her , Yu - bird following closely behind . From up here , the spirit world was beautiful . It reminded Chihiro of the times she flew on Haku 's back . She wanted desperately to fly with him again , only instead she wanted to fly beside him . They were covering ground fast . Of course , that was to be expected since they didn 't have to walk . Yu - bird kept slowing them down though , unable to match Chihiro 's speed . Yu - bird glared at whatever it was No - Face had said , but was still barely able to keep up . Chihiro stopped to allow her friend to catch up before deciding to just take her in her arms to go faster . They were on a time limit . They had to get back to the bathhouse so she could complete her transformation . But she still had enough time to observe the view . The spirit world was truly a gorgeous place , far more beautiful than the human world , which , she realized , had not been properly taken care of . Pollution , global warming , natural disasters , none of these were present in the spirit world . That was because the spirits had such a deep connection with the environment . They knew how to take care of their world and didn 't abuse it . And for those spirits that were bonded , they had to pay for the cruel way humans took care of their world . It was becoming more and more apparent as to why so many spirits disliked humans . It was for this reason that Chihiro was able to forgive Yuteela so easily . She had been provoked . It was just as if someone provoked an animal . She understood this and forgave the forest spirit , just like she had forgiven Yubaba , Bôh , and No - Face after they tried to kill her 12 years ago . Now they were her best friends , well not so much Yubaba . Chihiro looked and saw what appeared to be a beautiful angel flying a short distance away . The angel waved to them before disappearing behind a cloud . Chihiro smiled . The spirit world truly was a magical , beautiful place . Even the dangerous places , such as the toxic forest they were currently flying over , which Chihiro had no problem breathing in any toxins , was beautiful . If only humans could live in harmony with their world . Chihiro frowned at the thought . She herself had once been arrogant about her former world . Coming to the spirit world had changed her in many ways . It had also changed her parents ' appetite , since they suddenly seemed to find something wrong with any food made from pigs , although they didn 't know why . The thought had amused Chihiro in the past , but now , thinking of her parents , it was depressing . She had lost them in a way . True , they had moved away and they rarely saw each other , but she could always call them up if she wanted to speak with them , or right them a letter . Now they were separated by different worlds , and only death could reunite them . Well , that wasn 't exactly true . She could still return to the human world before she completed her transformation . No , she couldn 't do that . She would miss her parents , but she knew that she couldn 't live without Haku . On top of that , the human world hadn 't felt like ' her world ' since the first time she left it . She knew that she was doing the right thing by staying here , but there would be some things in the human world that she would miss ; the most important thing being her parents . She knew that at one point in the future it would really hit her that she had lost them . It would be hard , but everyone went through that pain eventually , and she would have Haku and her friends to help her get through it . She wished she could at least say goodbye though . It was well after dark when Swamp Bottom was finally in sight . It shouldn 't take too long to reach the bathhouse from here . The moment Chihiro 's feet touched the ground the door to Zeniba 's house burst open and the witch flew out at light speed . " Chihiro ! " Zeniba cried , hugging the girl . " I was so worried ! After I lost connection I feared the worst ! Did she hurt you ? Are you ok ? " Chihiro laughed . Zeniba was sounding just like Yubaba . " Everything worked out fine , Granny . " Zeniba opened her mouth to say something , but Chihiro cut her off . " And don 't you dare apologize ; you did nothing wrong . " Zeniba closed her mouth . It was then that she noticed something different about Chihiro . She had a powerful aura surrounding her , very much like a spirit . " Chihiro , what exactly happened after Yuteela cut us off ? You seem different somehow , yet you 're still the same . " Chihiro smiled and handed Zeniba the golden seal . " I found the spirit of life . " She said . Zeniba 's eyes widened , but Chihiro stopped the witch from questioning her . " Granny , I can 't talk now . The spirit of life agreed to help me , but I have to get to Haku as soon as possible to become a spirit entirely . " Zeniba sighed . " Never mind . You go to your dragon , dear . You can tell me all about it when you literally have all the time in the world . " As the sun began to rise , Chihiro put on a burst of speed . She wasn 't sure how much farther she had to go , but she knew she was getting close . She wasn 't entirely familiar with her surroundings so she turned to Yu - bird for confirmation . " Yu - bird , we are almost there , aren 't we ? " She received no answer . Looking down , she saw that Yu - bird was asleep in her arms . " Hey Yu - bird ! " Her friend snapped awake with a screech . Chihiro chuckled . " Sorry , Yu - bird . I just needed you to take a look around to see how much farther we need to go ; you are more familiar with the area than I am . " Yu - bird looked around and confirmed that they were indeed almost there . Chihiro was starting to get a little nervous . She didn 't have a watch or anything , so she looked at the position of the sun to estimate how much longer she had . After another hour or so of flying , Yu - bird screeched happily and flew out of Chihiro 's arms and began flying around excitedly . Chihiro wasn 't sure what was going on until she saw something very familiar in the distance . Yu - bird had spotted it first since her eyes were better for seeing things far off . But now there was no mistaking it . The bathhouse could be seen . Clam yawned . Keeping lookout was so boring . He was about to fall asleep and he had only been watching for a few hours . How had Haku stayed awake for several days just keeping watch ? He sat back , twirling his fingers . He was bored out of his mind . He needed to find something to do or else he was going to go crazy . He decided to just lay down and look at the different shapes of the clouds . " Ok , that one looks like a cat . " He muttered dully . " And that one looks like a flower . And that one looks like a fish . And this is very boring . " He sighed . Who knows how long he would have to wait . According to Haku , Chihiro was supposed to come back today , he was told by Lord Okaia himself . But really , this was taking forever . But as the figure got closer , he realized that it wasn 't a customer , but an employee . The one he had been waiting for . " She 's here ! " he cried , jumping up . He ran towards her waving his arms around and crying out for her to land . " Hey , over here ! Miss Chihiro ! Down here ! " Chihiro spotted the spirit waving her down and she landed by the bridge . Clam ran over to her . " Miss Chihiro , you 've finally come back . " Chihiro nodded . " Of course I did . " She said , surprised that he even had to ask . " Um , not to be rude or anything , but who are you again ? " " Clam . " He muttered . " Just another one of the many toad spirits of the bathhouse . We haven 't formerly been intro … wait a second ! Since when do you fly ? " Chihiro chuckled . " Since yesterday . I met the spirit of life . He gave me the opportunity to become a spirit . But I have to get to Haku as soon as possible . " Clam nodded . " Oh yes , he 's fine . Let 's just say he 's ' sleeping it off ' . That 's why I 'm here to greet you . " He crept up behind the unsuspecting human and raised the knife . A loud screeched startled him , as Yu - bird suddenly appeared and began scratching at his head . Chihiro turned around to find Clam batting at Yu - bird and stabbing forward . Using her new speed and reflexes , Chihiro dodged Clam 's attempted assassination . Clam cried out angrily and began swinging the knife wildly . Chihiro kept backing away until she remembered that she could do magic now . Clam was thrown backwards by an unseen force . He sat up and glared angrily at Chihiro who glared back . " You just tried to kill me ! " she shouted . " That 's right , you disgusting human . " Clam snarled . " You worthless piece of filth . You 're a disgrace . You should have stayed in your world with the rest of your miserable species . " Clam growled . " Nothing . It 's more along the lines that they exist to begin with . " He raised the knife . " I should have done this long ago . " Clam humphed . " The first time you came here , you didn 't have any intention of staying . When you got to leave , I cheered along with everyone else . But not because you got to go home , but because we got rid of you . I was the only one that was glad you were gone . Everyone else missed you , especially Haku . It was disgusting ! " He spat the final word to show how much he despised her . " Then you came back and everyone was happy again , everyone but me , I was sickened by the very thought of a human here once again . " I was patient though . The others wanted to send you home and I was all too happy to agree , even if our reasons were different . Then you left for Zeniba 's and Haku realized he loved you too much to let you go . He , along with the others decided to let you stay if you wanted to . I wouldn 't have it though . I waited for you to return , which was why I was the first to know that Haku came back without you . And then my plans were nearly ruined when Lord Okaia told him of my attentions to kill you , though he didn 't mention any names . " " I was very careful in my planning . " Continued Clam . " I offered to help find whoever wanted you dead to avoid looking suspicious . I made up false theories , such as it was most likely a jealous woman . And it was me that came up with the idea to drug Haku . " Clam snickered . " I told you there was an incident . And then I volunteered to take his place as lookout , so I could get to you first . " Chihiro glared at the spirit with great dislike . She started clapping just to irritate him . " Very good . I bet you thought you were being very clever . Seems like an awful lot of work to do just to get rid of me though . " " I know that a relationship between our kind wouldn 't work . " Said Chihiro . " Why do you think I went to find the spirit of life ? So I could become a spirit . " " YOU ' RE UNWORTHY ! " Clam bellowed . " Miserable , disgusting creature ! You don 't even deserve your own mortal life , let alone the one of a spirit ! Now die ! " Chihiro caused him to spin around in the air , until he was about to be sick , before letting him drop on the ground . The knife flew out of his hand and into Chihiro 's . Once everything stopped spinning around , Clam looked at Chihiro with pure hatred . The only thing that stopped him from attacking her was the knife in her hand . She wouldn 't be able to kill him with something like that , but it would sure hurt . " You know what , " she said , " you really disgust me . I 've met spirits before that don 't like humans , but they have always had a reason . But you , you 're just plain prejudice . It 's because of people like you that there is so much hatred in the world . Many people died in the human world due to prejudice . You 're just like those people . Spirits and humans have more in common than you think . You know what , you 're the disgrace ! " If it were possible , Clam 's gaze became even darker as Chihiro turned away . She continued speaking even though her back was turned . " I 'm going to report you to Yubaba , but she 's not the one you should worry about . I suggest that you leave and never come back , because when Haku finds out what you tried to do , he won 't be happy . " Clam was outraged as he watched her walk away . How dare that miserable human turn her back on him . How dare she speak to him like that . Oh how she would suffer . He would be sure to make her death as slow as possible . " You just couldn 't stop . " Said Lord Okaia coldly . " You and your meaningless hatred have done enough trouble . I spared you after you allowed the woman I loved to die , and now you go and try and take away the same happiness from Kohaku that you took from me . " Clam got angrily to his feet . " It was for your own good ! " he shouted . " That human being in your presence was a disgrace . She wasn 't worthy of your love . " " THAT IS NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE ! " Lord Okaia bellowed , and both Clam and Chihiro winced as the sorcerer 's power exploded . " You do not get to decide who is worthy of what . I loved her . " " She was an inferior . A love such as that shouldn 't exist . She was nothing ; she was vermin . Would you fall in love with an insect ? " " One cannot help who they fall in love with . And you are the vermin , not her . And I will not let you take away someone else 's happiness . Soon Chihiro will be a spirit , and she and Kohaku will have what you took from me . " " She doesn 't deserve it . " Clam growled , turning back to Chihiro . " She doesn 't deserve to be a spirit . She doesn 't deserve eternal life . She deserves death ! " " No , you 're wrong . She 's earned it . She does deserve it . " He raised his hand as his body began to glow with a silver light . " You don 't . " Clam 's eyes widened . He cried out in despair as the light consumed him . A moment later , he was gone . All that remained was a single lump of coal .
