Robin stared at her in shock. "You let him out? After what he did to you?"
Malchior stepped forward. "I wish to apologize. You did not release me from the book. You released Rorek. I had only a split second in which to warn you so I cast a spell to change 'Malchior' to 'Rorek' and vice versa on the picture of the battle in hopes that Raven would see it and reseal Rorek in the book's pages."
Robin looked at him. "Why was Rorek released in the first place if Raven was trying to release you?"
"Rorek trapped me with a spell after he discovered that I had made contact with the outside world. He then took my shape and taught Raven the dark magic that almost destroyed that little girl."
"Why didn't you warn her before she tried to release Rorek?" Robin was in full interrogator mode.
"Because I was magically bound and gagged and tossed in a figurative magical closet. I had no way of contacting the outside world."
Cyborg leaned forward. "But you did by altering the book."
"When Rorek was being released from the book, all magical influences he had upon the book, that had been done inside the book were destroyed." Malchior looked uncomfortable.
"DUDE! If you trapped Rorek in the book, why were you inside it too?" Everyone stared at Beast Boy stunned by this question.
Malchior smirked after he recovered. "Magic."
Raven smacked him.
"OW! OK! Rorek has magic. He grabbed me with it and my spell traveled along his magic and therefore trapped me also."
"Why were you fighting Rorek in the first place? And how were you able to change the names? That takes a lot of magic under most circumstances."
Malchior looked at the speaker in shock and fear. "Raven, don't… Please."
Robin's eyes narrowed. "Answer her."
Malchior sighed. "I am Malchior of Nol to most people. To a select few however, I am Malchior of Nor."
Starfire and the boys looked at him blankly. They didn't understand how one letter could be of any importance. Raven on the other hand, gasped. "B-But the dread dragon Rorek is—"
Malchior nodded. "Rorek of Nor, the last great Dragon Clan."
