Mina couldn't think properly. All she saw was a bright golden glow. She heard different voices speaking over each other, all saying to her to finish the beast. So she closed her eyes and started to vividly recall her precious memories.

The first memory she recalled was on Father's Day, six years ago, when she was eight years old. In the memory, she brought over her adopted dad (Joan's real father) to the living room while everyone else was asleep.

"Sweetheart, *yawn* is something wrong?"
Her father asked as his arm was being pulled over my Mina.

"I realized I haven't given you your present yet. I hope you'll accept it."
Mina quivered back and made her father sit on the stool next to the old piano in the living room.

That piano had been in the house for 100 years but looked brand new due to the amount of work and fixing it took. 

"I almost forgot!"
Mina said and brought out her real father's photograph and placed it on the side of the piano. Her father frowned a little since it's been four years since Mina came into his life, and just seeing how young Mina was when her father died made him feel guilty for her.

"Daddy, Smile, please! You are never fully dressed without one!"
Mina chirped at her dad, which brought a shy smile. But he quickly wiped his tears and listened to Mina.

Mina started to play the piano very lightly, and it didn't take long for her to start singing.

I wanna come home to roses,
and dirty little notes on post-its,
And when my hair starts turning grey
he'll say I'm like a fine wine better with age

I guess I learned it from my parents,
that true love starts with friendship.
A kiss on the forehead, a date night,
fake an apology after a fight

I need a man who's patient and kind
who gets out the car and holds the door,
I wanna slow dance in the living room like,
we're 18 at senior prom and grow

Old with someone who makes me feel young,
I need a man who loves me like,
my father loves my mom.

That's when the rest of Mina's family started to listen to her song near the staircase. All of them were shocked of her talented voice. But only Shift was blushing in blue. Immediately, he started to play with his violin that he'd been practicing on to help the mood as Mina continued.

I wanna a road trip in the summer,
I wanna make fun of each other,
I wanna rock out to Billy Joel,
And flip our kids off when they call us old

He'll accidentally burn our dinner,
and let me be the scrabble winter,
And when my body changes shape,
he'll say, "Oh my god, you look hot today."

I need a man who's patient and kind,
who gets out the car and holds the door.
I wanna slow dance in the living room like,
we're 18 at senior prom and grow

Old with someone who makes me feel young,
I need a man who loves me like,
my father loves my mom

And if he lives up to my father,
maybe he could teach our daughter,
What it takes to love a queen,
she should know it's royalty.

I need a man who's patient and kind,
who gets out the car and holds the door,
I wanna slow dance in the living room like,
we're 18 at senior prom and grow

Old with someone who makes me feel young,
I need a man who loves me like,
my father loves my mom
I need a man who loves me like,
My father loves my mom.

Mina ended her song but didn't expect everyone to give her a solid and tight hug. But she managed to hug her father's photograph.

Mina suddenly remembered that feeling. That specific feeling of love and being safe around the people she cares about. She recalled how many sacrifices they made so she could have a great life. It was about time she'd returned the favor.

So with all the power she had, she blasted an enormous, shiny golden blast that demolished everything around it. But before she did it, she remembered the last song her real father sang before he died.

Now hush little baby, don't you cry,
everything's gonna be alright.
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady; I told ya, Daddy's here to hold you through the night

I know mommy's not here right now
and we don't know why; we fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby,
But I promise Momma's going to be alright

"Goodnight...my little mockingbird. I love you."
Her dad said before kissing Mina goodbye.

And that memory brought enough strength to destroy the Dark Lord.
