THE LAST STAND !
The Guild of Fire maximized our anti-fire spheres. In Berserker's Hideout
Inn we took the best suites and slept the sleep of the just. By noon the Guild
of Water maximized our invulnerability spheres. Now we were almost invulnerable.
Even the Ingrols and Brolzyks couldn't harm us anymore. We were ready to
take Thardan's castle. We were ready for the last stand.
Setting sails for the north we prepared to die. None of us knew exactly whether
Mandrag and Bergarac would be able to neutralize the inner death sphere.
But we had no chance to meet Thardan anywhere else since he would never leave
his protecting cover. We ashored at the far northeast. The way to the inner
zone of death was easy to find. Through a narrow passage we entered. Bergarac
and Mandrag casted the spell that engaged the Moonwand. A sphere of anti-magic
surrounded us, fluctuating first but getting stable soon. Inside of this
sphere we could easily and unharmed walk into Thardan's death zone.
Rightaway we were attacked by incredible demons. But since they all were
of magical nature the Valkyrie spell Revmagic sent them right back to hell
from where they had come. In the middle of a deep forest Thardan's castle
we found. The evil one didn't try to hide and presented himself boldly for
the final stand.
But his time was over. When he attacked us, Morganna stepped into his
way absorbing the energy of the magical attack. Thardan cried up. He was unable
to stop the attack anymore. All his energy was taken up from the immortal
witch. Thardan crumbled to dust. We shuddered. Morganna now had the incredible
power of two immortals !
Morganna promised to correct what Thardan had done to the world. And
she promised to open the interdimensional gate that would bring me back to
my home world. Well, before she would change her mind I said goodbye to my
friends. Each of them gave me a long hug. I noticed some tears in their eyes.
Bergarac asked me whether I would come back one time. I agreed forwarding
the question to Morganna. Only she was able to transport me between the worlds.
Mandrag suggested to buy the island that we liked so much when exploring the
five seas. Now that no guild on the world was able to improve our invulnerability
spheres anymore, he had plans to build up a mage school that would concentrate
all efforts to find ways of going beyond the final frontier for elemental
personal spheres. Saba was impressed by the idea and spontaneously decided
to follow him. Toronar also had some plans. He too wanted to have his own
school. Having lost his family in the past years of Thardan's evil regime,
he seeked to have a new beginning, a wife and some children. He would build
up one of the villages that had been destroyed by the outer sphere of death
and settle down. There he maybe would have his school of fighting arts. Marina,
actually being a young girl decided to follow Bergarac to the town of Cassida
where she could learn much from his lifetime experiences and wisdom. There
they also would dismiss Adiwiet and Tadgia from their duties and as a reward
for their loyal help give them all the equipment they had watched over for
us.
Finally Morganna opened the gate to Earth and I slipped through.
