Epilogue: Rewards, Partings and a Massacre
In the late morn of June 6, Mithrandir arrived in Roaringburn Village. He looked at the blood and gore that littered the village, the bodies of people as well as the demons. After taking in the scene Mithrandir said to himself: "I hope I'm not to late!" Mithrandir then looked towards Castle Floret for a brief moment before breaking into a run towards the castle. Mithrandir burst into the throne room to find that the walls and the floor of the throne room covered with blood, and a fox, wolf, rat, mouse, otter, man, and King Phillip standing there. "Phillip, are you all right?" Mithrandir said as he ran over to King Phillip. "Mithrandir, you have arrived!" King Phillip said, his face immediately perking up when he saw Mithrandir. "How did you manage to defeat the demons?" Mithrandir asked King Phillip. "These people here helped us, but sadly only ten out of all of my people are still alive." "Mithrandir? Can't be the one I'm thinking of." A.J. thought to himself. Mithrandir then turned towards Fox, Wolf and A.J. and said to them: "I sense that you are not of this world, but that you three are from a different one." Mithrandir said. "That's right! How did you know that?" Fox said surprised. "I know many things. But I want to know, do you want to go back to your world?" Mithrandir asked them. "Of course!" Fox, Wolf, and A.J. said at once. "Well then, I will transport you back to your worlds then." Mithrandir said to them. "How can you do that?" Wolf asked Mithrandir. "I am a wizard. Now stand back, I will open a portal to send you back to your respective worlds." Mithrandir told them. "Wait a minute! What about our rewards!" Wolf and A.J. said to King Phillip. "Oh, right I almost forgot about that!" King Phillip said to them.
"Here you can take these." King Phillip said as he took out a large ruby, diamond, and a pearl out of his robe pockets and handed one jewel to each of them. Wolf and A.J. gladly accepted the valuable jewels but Fox said as he handed the jewel back to King Phillip: "I'm sorry, but I just can't accept that. You and your people need it more than I do." "You are very kind, thank you for your help." King Phillip said to fox. "I am now going to open the portals." Mithrandir said to Fox, Wolf and A.J. Mithrandir closed his eyes and held onto his staff. A few minutes later a familiar blue portal appeared before them. Fox, A.J. and Wolf all said their goodbyes to the rest of them and then they jumped through the portal. They were finally able to go home, but at Floret castle their work had just begun, they would still have to clean up the castle and the village. At the same time as these events happened, elsewhere more sinister things were happening...
The fox that was dressed all in black had just gotten the location of the next item he wanted. To get the information he had to kill all of the hares and the badger lord of Salmanderstrom, but he didn't mind, no he didn't mind at all. In fact he had enjoyed killing them, enjoyed their screams of pain and the looks on their faces as he killed it. He savored every second of it, because he enjoyed only one thing in life; the deaths of others...
