*Starfor answers Kejim's question*

 

[interliude from Merrindorr's Histories: The Starkiller:

 

Chapter {Undecided}: The Final Duel

With the Soul Crystal embeded in his chest, Orthos the Black was no longer Mortal. He had become the god of Hate, with Lokpihet in it's former power. To secure his victory, however, he wished to destroy his greatest threat: Elveron Starkiller.

Two armies clashed, and, in a complete mishap, Jorvak Highhammer sliced off the seemingly invincible Lokpihet's arm with the most unlikely of weapons: The Axe of Healing. Jorvak was thenflung to the edge, leaving Orthos and Eleveron.

The two duelled amongst the gathered armies on the ground and in the skies, until Orthos stabbed Elveron through the Heart with the Darksword.

With his last strength, Elveron pulled the sword further into his chest, and in turn, stabbing Orthos through the soul crystal. The godly essence drained from it, leaving Orthos weak and mortal. He did not survive the Starkiller Sword through his chest and instantly died. Elveron had time to make peace with his friends, and threw the sword up into the heavens.

Retrick: I needed your skills. You want the mage: breach the keep.

Kejim: I see. Then it's important that we prevent Retrick from laying hands on it.

 

----------

 

K'Warra: You need me to breach that? The task would be so easy I can't say it's worth my time. Besides, I can destroy the mage and his apprentice on my own terms.

*The voice of the Darkstar leaves Retrick's mouth*

 

Perhaps I am not clear: Breach the walls, kill the army, and then the mage, or get back to this...Earth...I have the power.

 

-------------------------

 

*Elveron runs down the stairs of the tower, to join the battle lines. Jorvak follows*

*K'Warra laughs* Tell me Darkstar, what "power" do you think you have?

 

*K'Warra vanishes*

 

----------

 

*Kejim remains on top of the tower. He raises his staff and begins to prepare a spell. Arthur follows Starfor*

 

((You called him Elveron again, Deac ;)))

[Redwing: Ta. I shall try to rectify this mistake]

*Retrick smiles wickedly*

 

Fool. He'll be back.

 

Advance!

 

----------------------------

 

*STARFOR reaches the battle front of the walls. He greets the Captain*

 

Captain: You...you're like Elveron the Paladin...what does this mean?

 

STARFOR: It means bad things are about to happen

 

*Orcs can be seen charging toward the city walls*

((Are you going to have STARFOR in caps for the rest of the RPG :D))

 

*A storm cloud forms above the horde of orcs, and lightning begins strike from its center, stunning several orcs each time*

 

Arthur: I believe my master is finishing his spells...but he'll have to stop when those orcs get too close to your warriors...

Retrick: If you run, Starkiller, what will become of your army? I will slaughter them.

 

*Jorvak steps forward, brandishing the axe of healing. He then says something to Retrick in the language of the gods, having studied it in the 500 years since he last fought a Darkstar*

 

Jorvak:Recognise this, Avatar of Lokpihet?...Go Starfor. Keep the Soul Crystal safe...

 

*Starfor moves off*

 

Retrick:You owe me an arm.

*Jorvak leaps up, kicking against Retrick's chest as he swings his axe. It nick's Retrick, whose sword moves back and knocks Jorvak to the ground.*

 

Jorvak: Run, Starfor...

 

*Jorvak falls unconscious*

 

Retrick: Now you, mageling.

*Starfor arrives at the Soul Crysal in Elveron's Tomb. Before he can kneel in respect, three Dark Elves enter, swords brandished*

 

-----------------------------------

 

Retrick: Fool.

 

*He raises the Darksword and brings it down toward Arthur's hands*

  • 3 weeks later...

*Arthur's onslaught begins to weaken as the power of the Darksword overwhlems him. The sword stops moving backwards and slowly moves forward until it pierces Arthur's defenses. Arthur barely dodges the blade's deadly edge*

 

----------

 

*Kejim appears in a flash of light in Elveron's Tomb* Starfor! I have something for you.

 

*Kejim raises his hand. In his hand lies what seems to be the Soul Crystal...but the Soul Crystal still clearly remains in its resting place*

*Retrick senses the soul crystal*

 

Retrick: I have no further interest in you...

 

*Retrick runs at great speed to Elveron's tomb. Starfor throws down Starkiller and holds out the faux crystal*

[And here's the ending...]

Starfor: I cannot win. Take it. Spare us.

 

Retrick: Fool. Do you think I'm stupid. I will crush al-gahhg!

 

*Retrick falls to the ground, the Axe of Healing burning through his evil flesh. Jorvak, mortally wounded stands behind him*

 

Jorvak: It was an honour, Starfor...

 

*Jorvak collapses*

 

In the final sacrifice, Jorvak Highhammer saved our world of Mrear again. They buried him in Elveron's tomb, by Elveron, his old friend, awaiting Ragnarok. Eventually, Starfor would join them.

Time would march on, good an evil with it. But the learned knew that when all seemed hopeless, that one would come to stand against evil...The Starkiller...

 

*In the distance, a hawk crows...*

The feud between Kejim Risheron and K'Warra K'laar continued for some time after the incident on Mrear. The feud culminated in a final battle that raged across the heavens, a battle in which neither emerged the victor. K'Warra disappeared for a time after this event. Years later, Arthur Green and Kejim parted ways, Arthur having completed all the training and mastered the instruction that the wizard could offer.

 

Kejim and K'Warra would meet only once again, and not as enemies.

 

Arthur joined England's armed forces and was eventually made a knight. He lived through many adventures over many years, until K'Warra showed up again to settle the grudge between them from Arthur's days as a thief.

 

Both warriors had grown immensely in power since that time, but K'Warra was still the superior.

 

The two battled above the Castle Green. The castle was devastated in the process, and Arthur was mortally wounded. The castle laid in ruins...with Arthur's wife and daughter buried under it. Only Arthur's infant son survived.

 

K'Warra had never before killed an innocent, and the guilt of what he had done began to eat at him, guilt he could not manage to squelch. The guilt grew until it nearly overwhelmed him...and the gargoyle who once wished for immortality now wished for death.

 

It was at this time that Kejim Risheron appeared again for the first time in twenty years to enact K'Warra's punishment. His punishment would not be to die...but to live. As penance for his actions, he would become the guardian of Arthur's surviving son and all of his descendants, protecting them forever until the last one died. Then, and only then, would K'Warra finally rest.

 

The Cauldron of Life as well as its unique and dangerous contents disappeared off the face of the Earth. They were not found in the ruins of Castle Green, and it is not known what Arthur did with them. Many treasure hunters have been convinced Arthur hid them, and some even thought they knew where to find them. But no one ever did. Most now believe the secret died with Arthur...

 

...or did it?
