Prospector Zeke, Sherlock Bones, even some of the Wizard City teachers among others stood in a stone walled tower huddled around the crystal ball that belonged to the Headmaster.

Holly was leaning back on the wall next to the redeemed spirits of Boris Blackrock and an Ianthine Specter. She had defeated Malastaire and released the good in him, like all the other corrupted things in the Spiral. Even though his strand of pureness was inches from death.

Her pet Frost Lord, Lillie, was hanging on to the back of her leg, scared from all the people.

The utter commotion of constant gossip stopped as the room fell silent. Headmaster Ambrose had just walked in somberly, pulled up a chair, and began to part the mists in the crystalline sphere.

This business over her being the Dragon Titan's heir is as much nonsense as if a mother cat were to abandon her litter because they had stripes while she had spots!" Ambrose raised his hands for talking to cease and then continued.

"Very well then. May our Pyromancer ancestors look down upon this child and accept the name...JENNA DRAGONHAND!" Thundering applause came in waves after that, each one stronger than the last. Holly even began to tear up out of joy. So, as she saw it, her name had been changed. This didn't bother her,no, not at all. In fact, it suited her in a matter of speaking. Through all the rejoicing among others Jenna heard a faint mumble come from Merle, speaking to a town guard. "We'd better get Professor Falmea up here if we know what is good for us." Whatever that meant.
