No knowledge of this place had come before or even it existed. Kalian had panicked when she thought of Naruon taking Morzan for she knew who would get him in the end. The tower of eclipse was used as the dungeon for the most part and according to local rumour it was inhabited by the cursed souls of the mages who once dwelled there but no one had entered there in years as the belief was that the place was cursed.

Imprisoning Morzan there would leave to the mercy of what ever lived there. With a flash of emerald light, caused a bouquet of red roses appear in her hands for she remembered what Morzan had told in some time in the past. He remarked that red roses where some of the few flowers that did not wither in his prescience.



Slowly she placed down on the roses by his head since he never had flowers near him. She wept seeing how much like the dead he looked. From what she had been able to gather from Arandur’s words was the fact that he slept in a state of living death until the spell was some how broken.

Behind her the doors to the tomb swung open and slammed shut, she stopped crying straightening to stand over him. Wondering if Naruon had found them both, she had only some basic training in combat to protect herself from those who wished harm. A voice came to her which settled her fears it was not the king though if it was doing his bidding is for a time uncertain “here you are. Khan a god of death, do wonders never cease?”



Turning on her heel she stared at Ignatia. Annoyance was in her for the slight mocking tone in her voice “how dare you come here! Has your actions are at the command of Naruon.” seeing how her eyes seemed to glow with passion and power, wondering on who she maybe if she could be a mage of incredible uncontrollable power.



Ignatia stepped forward and to the surprise of Kalian, Ignatia hugged. She whispered in her ear “I came here for I thought you may be banger and what power you have to create this place from the wilderness of the realm? I should not care for this for friend I have in you needs my help. Now tell me what has happened to make all of these events come to pass” kalian moved away from her.



Embracing herself, unsure of how much she dared to tell Ignatia. At the time when she found Morzan she made the decision as was that to keep hidden as much she was able to with her believe that the reason why he was like was due to torture or experiments preformed on him. Though she had desired to tell someone everything, slowly she began tell her tale “this starts before we meet. One night I ran from the home I lived in until for a time past. I did for the reason being that Naruon scared me by his rage for me seeing something that I was supposed to. To spare details I ran to the sea but I spotted him lying as if dead, I dragged him away from the sea. He was so cold but yet I felt something was looking for him. I watched him over him for each and ever night since I found him, when I found it he was the god of death and darkness I feared him but yet did not. Over time we grew closer to each other and” Ignatia smiled at her.



She need say nothing more to her, it was similar in part to her relationship with Rilien for they both now were in love with the other. Kalian sighed to see her smile, it felt good to tell someone.

Suddenly smoke appeared before them, it seemed roll over them. Ignatia gasped slightly for she did not know what she do for at this moment in time she had no weapons. A sphere of white appeared from the smoke as Tariel dropped down before them. Placing a hand on her chest to calm herself for she had been braced for combat but see a some what kind face.



Seeing the relaxed expression on her face did not return it with any appearance of relaxed air “you have become to relaxed in your time here for a human of Fallean” Ignatia though Tariel hurt her feelings by her comment. Kalian though did not show any expression on her face though her eyes gave them away.

Her tone softened to gaze into the emotions of her soul “if it makes you feel any better, he wanted to spend the night with you. Morzan truly would have not wanted spent his final” “Morzan is not dead!” she snapped at her, causing looks of surprise on her face. Tariel sighed to her statement “Arandur placed a spell on him making him have an appearance of death” both she and Ignatia were silent for a moment considering what she had said.

Tariel broke the silence “I have heard of that spell, I know not how to break the spell. The only idea I have if you desire to break it is to travel to Vailiania from there to the witches of the Forrdiean valley, they may have a cure to break this spell” kalian nodded though Ignatia did not look sure at all for instead she seemed annoyed. Fixing her gaze on Tariel, she snapped “your king said” seeing what she was going to say “to you he said he would. My king keeps his words, insult his name in front of me then I may cut you down where you stand. He cannot give the word of goddess Laraniel, she is not in the realm at this time, we think she has gone to the witches herself. From what I have gathered your father still live though soon blood will be shed over his throne if he does not recover” Ignatia sighed slightly wondering if she should return and take her place as monarch until the king recovered.



With a short click of her fingers and a small flash of pale light conjured a small box. Tariel looked at them both “I will not command your actions for only your supreme desires of your soul and your heart can do so. In that box is armour and enough gold for brides if you decide to pursue this course, I recommend you to make your choice soon for I will not take you before Naruon and tell him where you have hidden Morzan but soon another shall find him for the lust of gold has always summoned men” with a slight bow to Kalian she vanished, leaving the alone with there thoughts.



For a moment there was only silence as they thought on what they should do. Seeing the look on Ignatia's face of sadness “what is it?” asked kalian. Looking at her, while her mind burned with thoughts “to what should I do? Your are a friend so I will tell all. I am in love with Rilien” Kalian gave her smile “I knew that for a while. It is clear to those with eyes to see with that you love him and he you. So what is it that is bothering you then?” a sigh escaped Ignatia as opened the box finding two sets of armour, picking the armour she wanted to wear and began to slowly remove her gown. As she did so, she continued to say “I have a duty to my kingdom. I came here to save my father but I also saved another, Rilien. He told me many a thing over my time here until love blossomed between us. Now my blood boils with indecision as if I follow my duty I will never see him again and if I stay with him then Fallean will fall into chaos the likes of which the world has not seen” kalian was silent for a moment. When she finished covering her body in her armour she had made her choice. If she could save her father then she would return to Elevnia to live the remainder of her life with Rilien if he still loved by then.

She handed Kalian the second set of armour “if you want to do this then you better get kitted up” kalian took it and asked her silently to help her undo the corset of her gown. She feared many a thing as her gown was removed from her body for her soul echoed to fact she would likely suffer for her choice for staying loyally with him. Refusing to accept this emotions, she banished from her soul. Looking to see that Ignatia was preparing to leave and to leave her own gown behind. She herself though could not leave hers for though the night ended badly but it was still a time which should cherish for her life.

As sunlight streamed through the open door making her blink for she had no idea what the time of day. She was about to follow Ignatia outside and from there to the port where they gain a ship to take them across the sea to Vailiania. Kalian was about to follow when she turned, to a took few steps and bent over Morzan. She almost broke in to tears seeing how peaceful her looked, if not for the spell that affilcated him she herself would have believed him dead if not for his attacker telling her otherwise, she lightly kissed him on the brow, tears started to fall on his face. For many a moment she held her kiss and then removed her lips, saying through tears “not matter how long we will be apart I will still love you” turning to face the open door she ran out as she heard the sounds a distant voice calling to her “leave me then we shall love the other until the day you shall return but wither or not you still feel the same. Farewell kalian and for your own happiness find another to place your love in.”



When the door hand swung closed. Blue mist flowed around him and the flowers started to grow at an alarming rate as thorns and vines wrapped around his prone body. Two spirits stood either side of him but they were neither of dead or of the few mages who risk allowing there souls wonder outside there physical form to realms far from there own body. The two souls looked at the other “your plan has failed” said the calm voice of Laraniel.

The other soul by the tail of fish he had instead of legs by that appearance that named him as Amisius. His gaze was upon his sleeping face “Laraniel if your belief is that this is failure then you are so mistaken. I sense the faint beat of his heart which is...unusual to say the least for there is no life in him” Laraniel smiled to him sadly. Lightning struck down across Morzan as blue mist started spin around them as Amisius smiled “my plan will come to success but we need aid and information” with another flash of the lightning the three gods where gone from that place, destined to never return.
