Epilogue
That evening they had another dinner at the Duke's castle. This time, the feast was even bigger, with meals even from as far as the Elven lands and from the Lands of the East, brought by an adventurer who was willing to sell it for a nice amount of gold and promises of help in many ways. After the dinner, they all got a teleport tablet for transport to the private house of Cerax, for a well-earned rest.
"Ellani, care for a round of Balance Issues in the Battle Room" Lerani asked.
"Sure, but I bet I'll be able to beat you" he replied.
"Ha, I got my dose of magic power to you know" she responded.
"Well, that will get interesting. Guys! Let's watch this" Cerax called out to the others.
And so the evening and night went on, everyone unknowing of an imp that was spying on them, teleporting away to report to his master.
"So they have visited Juna and defeated the demon Bal-Gorgarr. Most interesting. Don't let this leak out to the humans, or anyone else for that matter. You shall be rewarded handsomely" the Dark Lord said to the imp, which just returned from a recon mission.
"Well, I am already smarter. Could you give me the power to become invisible? Or speed?" The imp was a bit nervous, because he knew invisibility would be a big reward for a good spy-imp like him.
"You please me. I will give you both so you can please me even better" the Lord said.
With a few gestures he left, the imp stepping quickly behind him, glad that he could be of even better service.
"Kreternara, come quickly. I noticed an upsetting of balance. Or properly said, evening of balancing" the woman said.
"Really? Maybe, maybe we will be rescued soon" the man said.
"I just hope they won't be killed when they try to… They are but children now. They will have to face many dangers before they will arrive here" she responded.
"Let us hope they will come" he concluded, and they left to their chambers, hoping for salvation or death.
