"Are you sure you don't need a ride Eldor" Duncan asked the old man.

"No, but thank you" he told him, "I must go alone. I can not allow anyone else to find my lair."

"Good journey then Eldor."

"Thank you."

"Hey Eldor" Gary called out.

"Yes Gary" he replied.

"Thank you for giving me a chance the reunite my family."

"Yes, thank you Eldor" Kathy said, "because of you I'll get to see my sister again."

"There is no need to thank me, I am glad I was able to help you" Eldor told them. "Besides, if it was not for you Gary, I would have become a meal for the snake men and the Staff of Light would have fallen into King Hiss's hands."

"I guess that means that we both have mutual thank yous" Gary told him. "At least I think that what you would call it when two people thank each other?"

"I believe that would be close enough" Eldor told him with a smile.

"Well anyways thank you Eldor" Gary said extending his hand.

"You are welcome, and thank you as well" he said grabbing Gary's hand and giving it a shake.

Getting into the Windraider with his mother, Duncan, and Timber, Gary yelled out to Eldor as he was walking away into the jungle, "if you get into anymore trouble just called the palace of Eternos, I'll come over as soon as I can."

"I am sure that you will Gary" Eldor yelled out in reply.

And so the two went there sperate ways, although Gary's went much faster.

"So how did you and your friends, what did you call them again" Duncan asked.

"We're called the Earth Knights" Gary told him.

"Yes, how did you and the Earth Knights meet?"

"We met because we had to."

"What do you mean by that" Duncan inquired.

"King Hiss and the snake men and Skelator his evil warriors aren't the first evil beings that we've met, and this" Gary said holding out the Staff of Light, "isn't the first mystic weapon that I've had."

"So what happened" Duncan asked.

"Six years ago a very bad person by the name of Skulvar attacked New York City."

"Skulvar? Does he look any ways like Skelator?"

"Yes, but instead of his head just being a skull like Skelator's, Skulvar either body was burn in a horrible arson fire that killed his wife and his four children."

"Thats ahful" Duncan said in shock. "How did that happen?"

"Well eight years ago Skulvar used to be known as Doctor Edward Skulavan. He was an intelligent scientist who was very well known in the fields of genetics and cybernetics."

"If he was great in those two fields then why would someone set his house on fire and try to kill him and his family?"

"Because some religious people considered what he was doing against God, and one night the more zealot of those people decide to take action. At least six people came to his house and torched it with his family inside. They were trying to kill him but what they didn't know was that he was at his lab working late that night. When he got home the arsonist had just set his house on fire so there were no fire trucks there yet."

Duncan was surprised that there would be people on Earth willing to kill and entire family just to get to one man, "its hard believe that there are people on Earth that would do that" Duncan commented.

"Oh trust me there are" Gary replied. He then continued with his story, "anyways, as I was saying, when he saw that his house was on fire, he ran right in, hopping to save his family, but they had all been shot before the house was set on fire. Once inside he was trapped and horribly burn all over his entire body. He manage to survive, but barley.

"So seeing he wife and children die in a horrible fire and he himself being disfigured by it as well must have made go insane" Duncan said.

"Nope thats not what made him go insane" Gary told him, "seeing the six people get off for the crime when there was a mountain of evidence against them thats what made him go insane."
