The Outcast gasps for breath after being hit in the stomach once again by Lile. "Lile, don't you see? If we continue like this, the fortress will sink and we'll all be killed! Join me again and you will be saved!" Lile frowns. "I would rather be dead at the center of the earth than to obey the likes of you, Outcast!" She rushes the Outcast and attempts to stab him in the face with her dagger. He grabs her by the wrist with both hands and manages to hold her there. She uses her free hand to punch him continuously in his chest. He quickly lets go of her and they both stumble slightly backwards. The walls begin to crumble. Slater rushes into the room. "Lile! The entire fortress is sinking! We'll all die if you continue on!" Lile frowns. "I knew that from the start Slater! That's why I told you to run!" Slater sighs and shakes his head with despair. "The entrance is blocked! There's no way out!" The magma begins to drip in through where the ceiling had been. The remaining five evils rush into the room. "Brother! What's going on here?" The Outcast lies powerless on the floor. Lile sit on the ground and closes her eyes. "Well Slater, you quest ends here I suppose. The magma begins to rise and Slater does what he can to reach higher ground. Lile sits in the magma, her armor keeping it away for the time being. The evils run from the room towards the main gate. The Outcast submerges entirely in the magma. "Lile! We can't just sit here! We must escape!" Lile sighs. "If we make an exit for ourselves, we will be making an exit for the evils." "But-!" Slater allows himself to fall to the ground, accepting his defeat. He lies there, waiting for his death. Suddenly, the surroundings seem to change. He looks around and finds himself in Zakarum. Lile is sitting in front of him. "What happened? How'd I get back into Zakarum?" Lile stands. "I'm not sure, but if the evils followed, we have work to do." Suddenly, the prophet of the Necromancers appears in front of them. "They haven't. Slater, your role in this quest has been completed. However, other will pick up where you left off, one thousand years from now." Slater stares at the prophet. "The evils are dead!" The prophet shakes his head slowly. "No. You failed to destroy one. Slater lives still. Without her defeat, the Outcast cannot be killed. He will escape from the magma again. In one thousand years." "But! -" "One thousand years." The prophet disappears in a puff of smoke. "Lile! We need to kill." Lile sighs. "The future can't be changed Slater, do as the prophet tells you." Lile walks away from Slater as he stares blankly at her.
