Welcome back everyone. Here is the end of this story. The Red Star will actually be featured in another story that I'll be writing alongside "The Tablelands." Enjoy and review.
A Lost City Found
Balor's eyes opened and he saw the rising sun greeting him. Once again he was on the hill he had been lying on when looking at the Red Star. It must have been a dream, just a dream.
He looked at his right arm and to his surprise the bracer that he had been given was right there! Balor then touched his head and there was the vest he had turned into a turban.
As he removed the vest from his head and looked at it in wonderment, confusion filled Balor's head. What had happened? What had he been through? Was this some sort of cosmic joke? But it couldn't have been and it couldn't have been a lesson either since Balor had always respected Alkaeus who had died long before Balor's birth.
When Balor walked into the Valley of the Tombs Gard looked at him with suspicious eyes. "Something happen last night, young shaman?"
"I'm not sure, old warrior." Balor put a hand on his chin. He truly was confused. "I think the Red Star sent me back to the last day of Kawdor."
Gard held a map to Balor's face. On the map were Mount Dunkan but not Kawdor. "You see this? On the map is the mindless monstrosity that destroyed that great city you were sent back to." He let out a breath. "Kawdor was been wiped clean off the face of Third Earth and yet for some reason Mount Dunkan has gotten smaller. How is that for logic?"
At that moment, Balor's eyes widened. "Wait, what?"
"I said that Kawdor has been wiped clean off the face of Third Earth, Balor, you know this."
"No, the last part!"
"Mount Dunkan has gotten smaller. Why?"
Balor then realized why he had been sent back. He realized why he had almost been buried. "Gard, it's not gone! Kawdor's been buried under ash, dust and rock!" Balor then looked at the one he was descended from. "I know how to find it!"
Gard gave a smile. He'd get a couple dozen tolacs and some digging equipment.
They headed for Mount Dunkan and then found Kawdor. That was not all they found. In time lost Kawdor were casts of unlucky souls who didn't make it.
The End
