Only one group survived the last round of the King's Tourney. The five young heroes were brought before the king, and were given the final task. King Arvid declared that the only way to win the tourney and earn the right to feast with him, and ask him to grant their wishes is to complete a very dangerous quest. Everyone in the kingdom was certain it cannot be done. The smallest army had to find and defeat a powerful necromancer named Qadir Prabhu, the most evil and most unholy man that ever lived. Prabhu claimed the Eagle Crown, took it back to his hideout in the Frenzied Sea, where no ship could reach him. King Arvid gave a strong ship to Pellerin and his companions, Ser Tallak and Lady Izar helped them prepare for the long journey. The ship set sail and the king gave his blessing although he did not expect to see any of them again.
The smallest army was sailing on the Frenzied Sea for days when they reached a region full of cliffs. They were navigating carefully, but as they advanced, more and more shipwrecks appeared in the water and the wind was getting stronger. A few minutes later it became too hard to keep the ship from hitting the rocks, Pellerin wanted Etele to clear their way from cliffs and wrecks. Suddenly a huge squall hit the small army as an enormous white bird flew by above them. Every time it moved its wings the wind rose again pushing the ship to the rocks. "Let's fight it!" shouted Pellerin, but Levent begged him not to hurt the tuulind for it was a sacred animal in Lalekara, the land where he grew up. Johan froze the water to protect the ship from the wind-storm, then Pellerin formed the shape of the giant bird and took Levent and Fidelia with him to the sky. The tuulind turned around, watching the other bird with its sharp, blue eyes. They were circling around each other for a while, then the tuulind had enough and tried to charge, but Fidelia calmed it with her singing. Levent created a picture of the tuulind in human form, and with the help of Pellerin both birds turned into human beings. The tuulind was a bird no more but a beautiful proud woman, white as fresh snow, with fierce blue eyes. Levent fell to his knees, and asked her what she's doing so far from her homeland. The woman told them the tale how she came to this land and how she was trapped in the Frenzied Sea by the very man the smallest army has been sent to defeat. When she heard their story she let them go, hoping they succeed for she wished to see her home once again. They said their goodbyes and turned her back to her original form, and when she was far enough, Johan melted the ice and let the ship sail.
Two weeks have passed, all five of the young heros were exhausted, and there was no sign of Qadir Prabhu. They were running low on food, not on water since Johan could make shards of ice appear, then melt, but some of them started to wonder if they would ever find the necromancer or a way back to the kingdom. Suddenly they heard a soft melody in the distance. It was sweet and beautiful, after a few minutes they spotted the island it was coming from. The song got louder and more pleasant as they were making their way to this curious isle. When they reached the shore, strange people stepped out of the shadows of palm trees. They were nor male, nor female, but they were equally beautiful. Levent warned his friends for he has read many horrific tales about monsters called hianga, that seduced their victims, made people fall in love with them regardless to gender, and that no one could ever resist their magic. But they decided to stay for a while, ask them for direction or supplies. Their gorgeous hosts fed their guests with fruits and honey, with rosted meat and sweet cakes, gave them red wine to drink. They healed their wounds and sang songs to them. The smallest army has been lying in the warm sand, bathing in the cool waterfalls and tasting the most delicious food they have ever had for three days. On the third day Pellerin gathered his things and told the others to prepare for leaving. The hiangas were in shock, they couldn't believe their eyes as their five guests were starting to leave the island. "You can't leave" they said "You should be in love with us!" But the young heroes agreed that they love each other more than anyone in the world. The hiangas begged them not to leave, to stay for a few more days "We love you with all our hearts" they shouted, but it did not work. In the end they brought food, armour and maps to the five heroes, and they were all standing on the shore, weeping loudly as the smallest army waved goodbye to them.
With the help of the maps that the hiangas gave them, our young heroes seemed to find the place they were looking for in a few days. Sharp black rocks appeared in the thick fog, reaching for the sky, and one tall hill in the middle of the sea. But there were no trees, nor birds on this island, just cold rocks everywhere. Pellerin and his companions got off the ship, and as soon as they landed it immeadiately turned into black oil and dissapeared in the water. They had no way off the island, but they didn't plan to leave until they dealt with Qadir Prabhu. Soon they found and entered a cave, and inside there was a huge hall, with walls made out of skulls and bones. Suddenly in a black smoke the necromancer appeared. "You surely wish to die since you come here willingly." said the sorcerer, with disgust on his pale face. The five travelers slowly started to surround the man, Pellerin demanded for the crown to be returned, but Prabhu refused. Five people attacked from five directions, but nothing seemed to harm the necromancer. He saw it all coming, and he easily warded off every spell. All of a sudden ghosts flew out of the walls, and closed in on every member of the company. Slowly they raised the granite floor and built coffins around their victims, Fidelia first, then Johan, Levent and Etele at last. They were all trapped in a large circle around their enemy. Pellerin couldn't move, but he could see the granite cages where his friends used to be. Then with a final move the coffin was closed. He was in the darkness with too little and too poisonous air, he heard a faint sniggering past his prison. An anger was rising in his heart that he never knew before. All he could see in the blackness was the faces of his four friends, and he refused to give up on them. The hall was perfectly silent. The only sound was the soft steps of Qadir Prabhu as he was walking around his granite pods. Suddenly there was a small crack. The necromancer was listening tensely, then there was it again. Crack, crack, crack. Granite was falling to the ground as the coffins were slowly falling apart. The five heroes broke free at once and ran to the center of the room, where Prabhu was standing. Their first instinct was to find each other, even if the enemy was in their way. They held each other's hand, and the necromancer was trapped in the middle of this circle. He wanted to break it up but he'd lost all his magic power, and with a single ray of blinding light Qadir Prabhu was turned into a granite statue.
The smallest army easily found the Eagle Crown, and were ready to return to King Arvid. Unfortunately their ship was still floating in the form of an oil blob somewhere at sea. They were all exhausted, sitting on the shore, and thinking about a way to get back home, when a strong wind started to blow, and soon the tuulind appeared in the sky. She landed on the island, and took them back to the Land of Eagles in gratitude for her freedom. When they returned, the king gave them everything they needed, and ordered his servants to prepare a feast so rich that no kingdom has ever seen. The five commoners became honored heroes of the kingdom, and a beautiful painting of them - made by the lovely Lady Izar - was hung in the great hall of the king's castle. When they were having the feast, King Arvid stood up and asked the young heroes to name the prize they are willing to accept for their mighty deeds. They were thinking in silence for a while then Pellerin responded "All we ask for is that we may never have to leave each other." Arvid smiled and answered "So shall it be."
