The immortal army was no more, but Morgana and her friends still had the Cup of Life. Our heroes had to find it to stop them from using it in the wrong ways. Five months since they left Camelot, they traveled to the most important kingdoms. Those were Nemeth, Odin, Caerleon, Gawant, and Essetir. Then they returned to Camelot. Now they spent some time with family because they did not know where the compass would lead them.
"Nice coming back after a long time," said Merlin.
"Do you want to hunt?" said Arthur.
"Who is going with us?"
"Cara, Leo, Gwaine and Lancelot."
"Merlin," said Gwaine, "are you still sad because of Ealdor's fate?"
"And how else must feel when I born and grow up there?"
"All right," said Gwaine. "We will go find the cup and they will protect that cup with their life. We must kill them so we will have bodies. We need a confessed Sister of the Dark and two Mord-Siths to save the villagers. You, Zedd, and Shota can restore the village like it was."
"You make him feel better," said Arthur.
"Are we ready to go?" said Cara.
Arthur said, "Where is Richard? You said he taught you to hunt."
"Yes, that's true," said Cara, "but he wanted to be alone with Kahlan."
"I am ready to hunt something so where must we go?" said Lancelot. "If you want to ask about Gwen, she is training with Nicci."
"So let's go hunt," said Merlin.
"Shadrin is mine and Arthur's," said Cara. "Only strong people as me eat Shadrin's liver."
"And you can give something to your boyfriend," said Leo.
"Only to you."
"But he will be your husband soon," said Lancelot.
"I am not a romantic princess who is afraid to break her nails."
"So you are a warrior?" said Merlin.
"Come on," said Arthur. "If one bites, I have eaten nothing else in my life."
"So you are ready to fight for it, my dear King Arthur Pendragon?" said Cara.

They began an amicable duel. A questing beast enchanted by the Sisters of the Dark attacked them. Now the beast could move faster and camouflage. It knocked Arthur down and hit at the same time. Arthur fell unconscious, but Cara with her power caught the beast and Lancelot and Leo killed it. They returned to Camelot as fast as they could.
"What happened?" they all asked. "Are you all right?"
"We need the Cup of life to save Arthur," said Merlin.
"Cara, the beast hit you and still you can move," said Gaius.
"Gaius," said Rahl, "you forget she is a Mord-Sith and her blood became resistant to magic."
"I am fine," said Cara. "I don't need a doctor."
"No!" said Leo. "You need it now." He picked it up and took it to Gaius.
Ygraine said, "Tell me, Balinor, can you do something?"
"No...I don't have the power to do that."
"I will absorb the poison in me and he will be fine," said Zedd.
"No," said Ygraine. "Zedd, stop, please."
"You don't know what things I could absorb in my life."
"Wait, you said you are a Wizard of the First Order, right?" said Balinor.
"And why is that so important?" said Merlin.
"You can cure yourself with magic."
"That is true. I should rest," said Zedd.
"I hope it works," said Rahl. "Where are Richard and Kahlan? I haven't seen them all day."
"They need some privacy together," said Lancelot.
"Done," said Zedd. "We should let him rest now. He will wake up soon."
Renn said, "I want to stay with him. He is my brother."
"Take care of him, my dear," said Ygraine.
"Sad," said Uther. "I sacrificed you because we needed another child."

Cara felt guilty because they fought, and she said she would take Leo to hunt a Shadrin and give the liver to Arthur. Gwen heard what happened and stayed with Renn to wait for Arthur to wake up. While they waited, Morgana went to Dochraid because she still did not trust Nicolas. Also, could not reach Jagang too. She did this after heard that unorthodox story about an unborn child who had forty-nine years.
"You come to me," said Dochraid. "Did you receive my message?"
"Were you the one who brought Nicolas here?" said Morgana.
"You need powerful, loyal helpers to win this war."
"How will you find him and bring him here?"
"I am a witch or, better said, a creature of earth. The earth tells me."
"Strange. And you can see what will happen?"
"Yes, my dear child, the earth speaks to me. He is present in every moment of the past, present, future, and their alternatives."
"And how do you know what is the perfect choice?"
"He confessed trusted allies of Darken Rahl; he killed his mother, killed Darken Rahl. Also, eradicated all Mord-Siths and ruled D'Hara at a young age."
"Send something with a message or a crow," said Morgause. "We almost killed him."
Kahlan, Dennee, and Richard went to Arthur to see if he was right. Percival, Leon, and Elyan, with the help of Shota, destroyed the beast. Arthur woke up and did not remember very much after the attack.
"I hope you can eat something now," said Cara.
"My chest hurts," said Arthur. "Why didn't you cook it?"
"It is more delicious this way," said Leo.
"We go after that Cup."
"No!" said Zedd. "You aren't going anywhere. You almost died. Stay in bed until you recover."
Uther said, "Zedd is right."
"Are you all right now?" said Dennee.
"Yes," said Arthur, "but I have to stay in bed."
Lancelot said, "We must take back that cup before it makes problems again."
"Or not," said Annalina. "They created an immortal army and another power is curing everything, nothing more."
"So they will let it," said Verna.
"We give it to the Druids," said Nicci.
"Let him rest," said Richard. "See you later." They all left except Renn.
"We must stop Morgana," said Arthur.
"No!" said Renn. "You must stay in bed to recover."
"But..."
"If you say one more word I will tell Annalina or Verna about what you think about the Sisters of the Light."
"Fine, I will stay in bed, but say nothing they are so strange and mad."
"I looked at your armor," said Verna, "and yes, Arthur, I know what you said. You are right."
Arthur and Renn said, "What?"
"I wasn't at the Palace of Prophets for a long time because I was trying finding the Seeker." She left.
"You can tell me more about yourself if you want to stay in bed," said Arthur.
"My rue father sold me because I have this power, and Darken Rahl wanted me. Richard and Kahlan saved me two times. They brought me to Thandore and put me in a radahan."
What is Thandore and radahan?"
"Sisters of Light built a city where children like me who had a special power learned how to control it. And a radahan is a magical object that stops the magic of anyone who wears it."
"How did you find to Dennee?"
"Rahl tricked the Keeper and took the Scroll of Vaildare. In that scroll, he wrote instructions about the Stone of Tears and where you must take it. I read his mind, and after that, I didn't return to Thandore, so Dennee adopted me because she likes children very much."
"Come to me; I want to hold you."
After a long talk, they fell asleep. In the morning, they woke up and Arthur recovered. After they had eaten, they had no clue where the Cup of Life could be hiding. They had an idea and used the compass. The compass led them to the Cup, but enemies ambushed them.

"Sisters of the Dark, Mord-Siths, banelings, and D'Haran soldiers," said Mordred.
"So you expect to have new troops," said Lancelot.
"My father is with his wife, Kahlan Amnell," said Nicolas.
They all said, "What are you doing here?"
"I will never have a monster like you," said Kahlan.
"You must die," said Dennee. "You bring lots of problems."
"I can steal his Han," said Nicci.
"Merlin, how many people were in Ealdor?" asked Rahl.
"Two hundred people," said Merlin.
"What do you say in a fight, my father?" said Nicolas. "If you win, you get the Cup of Life and 200 bodies. You fall; your head will be on my sword."
Cara said, "I will enjoy this fight."
"Father versus son in a deadly duel," said Arthur.
"A wizard versus a male confessor," said Cenred.
"A strange fight, I like it," said Freya.
Percival and Gwaine said, "A father versus an unborn child."
They started fighting while they were talking.
"You are no match for me," said Nicolas.
"I am the best warrior of D'Hara and it seems I train you well," said Rahl.
"Not anymore," said Nicolas. "I swear you soon will kiss my feet." He caught Rahl on the neck.
"So you tried to confess me? That doesn't work on me. I am immune to confession, rat."
"It is impossible! You lie."
"He is telling the truth," said Dennee.
"I captured the Mother Confessor to make an antidote against confession," said Rahl. "Kahlan would so afraid and she unleashed Con Dar and killed Giller. Also, she turned four D'Haran soldiers and two Mord-Siths against me. In the middle of the fight, a guard fell on the table where the antidote was."
"I suppose you didn't write a list of ingredients to make one?" said Verna.
"So you can't make another antidote," said Gwen.
"You are a monster," said Nicolas. "You killed many little children to stop a prophecy, but you failed."
"If you say something about my brother, you will regret this," said Richard.
"You are only a carpet nothing more," said Rahl.
"Are you afraid to be powerful?" said Nicolas.
"No!" said Rahl. "What will this power give me? I suicide in accepting the Keeper's offer. I became a baneling and my powers grew. He knew one day something would happen with the Boxes of Orden. He used me. Like he does now."
"So you are full! Join me and you will have the entire planet at your feet."
"No! You think I will do that massacre of Brennidon if my father Panis Rahl told me about it?"
They all said, "What?"
"If my father explained to me I stopped killing innocent babies."
"You will pay for this," said Nicolas. "We will meet again. Oh, I forgot about Cup of life."
"Take that," said Gwen. "If you destroy it you will die."
Verna said, "Impressive throw Gwen, I like it."
"Take your infected Cup, witch," said Nicolas, transforming into a crow and flying away.
"At least we have the cup," said Shota.
Arthur said, "Let's return to Camelot."
They reached Camelot with the Cup of Life. While they were after the Cup, Elyan, Freya, Leon, Kara, and some soldiers went to the ancient cemetery of Sigan. At the entrance, they found an inscription about an unknown place that they know where it was. Kara took the Cup and returned it to the Druids and Mordred remained to help them fight stone of Tears.
"You find it and now Kara will give it to the Druids?" said Elyan.
"Yes," said Percival.
Arthur said, "Where were you?"
"At the cemetery of Sigan," said Freya, "finding this inscription at the entrance."
"They write it in the Book's language of Counted Shadows. The writings about the place where the Stone was being destroyed," said Richard.
"The stone isn't in Albion so where is it?" said Leo.
"What does that Gate represent?" said Freya.
"Good observation," said Shota. "That Gate is a portal and will take us somewhere."
"But where?" said Arthur.
"It is an adventure, and things are unknown," said Merlin.
"I must recover my old body," said Dennee. "I can't take care of the baby now, his mom should do it."
They killed Dennee, resurrected her and the mother of the baby because they had to leave Albion. They did not know where they would go or what surprises they would find. Arthur was sleepy, so he went into his chambers, but Richard wronged the chamber and went to Arthur's chamber.
"You can't find your room?" said Arthur.
"No! I am lost," said Richard.
"The Seeker lost in a castle. Hilarious. Do you want to talk about something? Because I am very bored."
"About what do you want to know?"
"About everything. I want to know if you have a family. You said nothing about it."
"The only members of my family who are alive now are Rahl and Zedd."
"What happened to the rest of them?"
"After the massacre of Brennidon, Zedd took me to Hartland to an adoptive family. My adoptive mother died when I was little. I remained with my stepfather, George Cypher and my step-brother Michael Cypher."
"Are they still alive? And can you return home after we beat the Keeper?"
"No, A D'Haran soldier killed George Cypher and my step-brother thinks I killed him."
"But your natural family what happened to them?"
"I returned to Brennidon and a found someone who said she was my mother but she was my midwife. My true mother tried finding me, but Denna killed her."
"To recover the Boxes of Orden? And you discovered Zedd is your grandfather?"
"Yes. Are you are all right? You are hiding something."
"Morgana was my sister and she used her powers in her selfish games. Why did you beat me in every duel?"
"You beat yourself. The sword is magic, so your hate against the one you're fighting gives power."
They went to sleep and in the morning would go find that temple with the help of the compass.
Dochraid found the temple and Morgana send scouts. The scouts were Mord-Siths, Sisters of the Dark and D'Haran soldiers. A group of female warriors appeared there.
"Who are you?" said Marianna. "And what are you doing here and where from do you come?"
"I am an Amazonian queen," said Hippolyta, "and these are my fighters. You will die- this is a sacred place."
"You have one chance to surrender," said Marianna. "Right now you will feel my wrath."
"Don't make me laugh."
"Kill them all! Leave no survivors."
"You will pay for this, my dear."
Sisters of the Dark, Mord-Siths and D'Haran soldiers fought against Hippolyta. Hippolyta had her army of Amazonians by her side. It was a hard fight, but Morgana's troops died except Sister Marianna who ran away. The Seeker and his friends reached the place and saw many bodies.
"We have bodies so we can revive them," said Merlin.
"A Sister of the Dark is alive," said Gwen.
"A confessed Sister of the Dark will soon be dead," said Dennee.
"Her soul will travel to the Underworld," said Nicci.
"Me, Shota and Merlin will go remake Ealdor," said Zedd.
Cara said, "We will resurrect all villagers, and they are free to go."
"So here will be the last second in Albion," said Percival
"The world needs us," said Gwaine, "so let's save it."
"Ealdor is reborn," said Leo.
"I am curious where we will go," said Mordred.
"An adventure in the unknown I hope," said Verna.
"Yes, we are ready to leave now," said Annalina.
"This is strange," said Richard, "I haven't seen this language in my life."
"These words are in Greek," said Arthur.
"So this portal will teleport us to Greece?" said Kahlan.
"I read a lot about it," said Merlin.
"But you never saw it with your eyes," said Rahl.
"I saw what happened to Nicolas," said Dennee, "but I love you so do you want to be together?"
Kahlan said, "Two brothers and two sisters-a perfect family."
Everyone said, "To the unknown."
They prayed in the temple and then they disappeared. Soon they would meet in Greece and travel more places, meeting more enemies along the way.
