A/n: So I've been presently threatened by a fan -cough- kitty-hime1 -cough- that if I don't write this I'll be annoyed by her. Well! If she can out annoy me, I'll gladly write her anything.
But anywho, this is just my filler chapter in between stories thing. Wee!
Enjoy!

Onward to cookies! --- erm, I mean VICTORY!

Mo shook the hands of Lady Akara. "I'm sure we'll be all right! I mean, we're not dead yet."

Lady Akara shook her head. Her old eyes watching the interesting young girl as she said. "May the Great Eye see you through without troubles on your journey to the desert." She reached into her tent and handed the young sorceress a crystal staff with a single sapphire set into the wood. "Take this and use it well."

Mo smiled as she took the staff. She could feel a deep strength in it that yearned to be let free. She felt very cold. "It's an ice staff, huh?"

"Mhm." The old healer smiled as she watched the girl bounced off to be with her friends.

Similar gifts were given to each warrior for their journey. The paladin received a ruby encrusted specter that glittered darkly in his hands. The barbarian received a new set of armor that actually fit his rapidly growing body. The amazon received a lance and a long bow. She was having too much fun with her lance, testing her skills at it as she aimed for Stuart. The poor necromancer, who was currently being tortured, had received several new books and a new yew wand since he broke his last one by sitting on it. The druid had received a hawk's helm and a set of armor that changed with him, as he became a werewolf. The assassin had received a beautiful set of rings and an amulet to farther help her healing powers and a fun new set of claws that she enjoyed a little to thoroughly.

"Hey Stuart! C'mere! I wanna test these on you!"

"What do you mean by…test?" He asked wearily.

She smiled wickedly. "Perhaps…a little castration?"

"….oh shit!" The necromancer ran like hell as both the assassin and the amazon played with their skills.

Mo smiled and laughed. "Hey! Hey, you two! Leave him alone!" She waved her arms and chased after the three.

The last three, Dan, Dru, and Larry, just watched with amusement. "I wish I could be chased by three hot girls." Larry murmured.

"Would they have weapons?" Dan asked, nudging his friend in the side.

"They would have nothing!"

Dru raised an eyebrow. "No clothes?"

"No clothes."

All the men became star struck with the notion. Men will be men when given a chance and these three were proving it.

Meanwhile, Akara stood next to Warriv. They both watched in amusement as the group of warriors finally started to settle down and pack up. "They're growing up…fast…but I wonder if it will help them." Warriv said. "They're only kids but they look and act like adults. Hmm, why have they been put through this?"

Akara smiled wearily and looked to the sky. "The Great Eye watches over all and he will protect them. He brought them here to escape their own world and to bring fulfillment to their otherwise broken lives." She rubbed her gnarled hands together. "Just as you said, they are children but even children have to grow up someday."

"Then they are destined for greatness." Warriv muttered mostly to himself. The two watched the group of warrior children tease and taunt each other. They did know what would next but they felt prepared. They had played the game before and they had all beaten it numerous times. How hard could it be?

But what if they game didn't play by the rules that they knew? Just because you think you know something doesn't mean it won't change.

Warriv packed the warriors carefully into his caravan. He put the paladin and barbarian in the back as rear guards. The amazon and the sorceress were in the middle with projectile weapons to attack with and the rest were all up front with Warriv.

The caravan owner sighed. The East held plenty of new dangers but it was getting there would prove how brave these seven were. "Bright Eyes," he prayed softly, "watch over these children and keep them safe. They do not know what danger they proceed in…protect them and give them wisdom." He lowered his head and snapped his whip. The caravan started its slow move to the East.

A/n: Ha, there. One Epilogue. I can't promise that I'll actually write anymore of this…cause I don't know who reads it and who likes or anything. So, if you want more…give me some more time and I'll plan out something that I hope you like.
Peace and Love!

Onward to Victory!
