Chapter 24: Scroll Of The Light

Our heroes found the Stone of Tears and the true meaning of their mission. The true meaning of their mission was to repair that the Keeper, the Creator, and Kronos destroyed. To find a Scroll of Light, they must follow the compass. Their crucial question was where would take place the ultimate fight.


"In less than a month fate of the entire world is known," said Zedd a bit worried about the outcome.


"Lands of the Livings or Underworld will dominate the entire world. We are only who can stop the Keeper," said Rahl to remember how crucial their job was.


"How you felt, Rahl when you understand whom you served?" asked Mordred pointing to Titan Oranos.


"I am still puzzled because I can't understand how is that possible," replied Rahl very confused.


"The Titan of Sky, Master of Light, Father of Gods become the Master of Underworld," completed Nicci.


"Titan Oranos when was good, used the light or dark magic?" wondered Annalina to discover something.


"For sure the dark magic is responsible and is corrupt now," answered Verna and saw Merlin upset. "He seeks revenge and Kilgharah might help us."


"Magic is not evil. Is evil the one who use it," Merlin remembering all about the neutrality of the magic.


"Merlin, wait until I place some wool inside," said Cara and mocked Merlin how called the Dragon.


"Cara, as Dragonlord, you must do the same thing," said Arthur defending Merlin.


"Arthur Pendragon, that will happen when the pigs will start flying," threatened Cara.


"I can climb with a pig and throw it," said Leo and looked after a tree and a pig.


"Dragon. Non didlkai. Kari miss, epsipass imalla krat. Katostar abore ceriss. Katicur. Me ta sentende divoless. Kar... krisass," said Merlin summoning the Dragon.


"You summon me, young warlock? What happens? What happens to Arthur's face?" wondered Kilgharah after hearing Merlințs call.


"We found Stone of Tears and the first Seeker in the history was Michel Arkan," informed Kahlan. "He used a spell on the compass to send us to the Scroll of Light."


"About Arthur, Merlin, Leo, and Cara," said Dennee and pointed to them. "Cara disliked Merlin when screamed as an idiot and Arthur said to Cara she was a Dragonlord too. Cara wouldn't want to listen and would do that if the pig flew."


"Leo said would climb in the tree with a pig," continued Gwaine the rest.


"Cara, you can call me without a scream like an idiot," said Kilgharah. "Seeker, what do you read so concentrated in the Book of Counted Shadows?"


"Why I must summon you in that way and Cara in another way?" wondered Merlin and grieved because knowing Kilgharah longer. "That isn't fair."


"When is fair something in this world, Merlin?" wondered Cara and mocked Merlin.


"In the book appears a recent piece of information about our mission," replied Richard.


"What?" wondered Folstag very curious.


"About us, what we do, who we are, our occupation and more," divulged Cenred after reading on Richard's lips.


"You are the Seeker or how you are capable to read from the Book of Counted Shadows?" wondered Reginleif thinking about something said at the bluff.


"I read on lips," replied Cenred with ease. "It is a little trick."


"You expect Titan Oranos to be the Keeper, Master of Underworld and Titan Gaia, the Creator?" asked Arkantos to find his opinion.


"No wonder, Creator is so ignorant and she doesn't know where Stone of Tears and Scroll of Light. I am shocked like you are," answered Kilgharah and tried to digest everything.


"You are aware how is possible?" questioned Denna while hoping to find more.


"Do you remain without ideas?" wondered Percival and looked at Kilgharah.


"He goes in the exile," deduced Kilgharah and continued. "From there, he disappears from the records."


"We can find more?" guessed Lancelot and tried to understand more.


"You think is more than that and hoping something bad?" wondered Gwen.


"I get why they get power from different sources," answered Kilgharah with a bitter taste.


"They both come from the spiritual world," said Amanra.


"So they need a physical body," concluded Setna the rest.


"We must find a Scroll of Light to learn what we do with Stone of Tears," said Shota and hoped to receive some answers.


"Let's go to sleep and discuss with this in the morning when our minds are clear," suggested Kastor because was late.


"We need splitting up into two teams to read the scroll," said Kahlan and explained. "The first team goes finding the scroll and the second team goes to find the night wisp."


"Where exactly the second team will go? Why do we need to read that scroll?" wondered Leon.


"We must go to Agaden Rench, Middle Lands," replied Rahl and showed the location.


"Let's talk in the morning," said Gwen.


"I can't wait to embark on the next adventures because I want to tell my child more stories!" exclaimed Ajax and thought at the moments spent together.


"Go sleeping," said Kilgharah and saw exhausted. "Good night, I watch over you."



Underworld boiled because the final fight would happen in the close future. Also, their enemies found Stone of Tears and needed to the Night Wisps.


"My lord, these scums find the Stone of Tears and Nicolas died," informed Giller and bowed in Keeper's face. "What do we do?"


"Who are you? Why do you hold as prisoners?" wondered Kamos after waking up in Underworld.


"That male Confessor died. We are no longer controlled by his powers," replied Gargarensis.


"What happened with Kronos and the others?" asked Kemsyt and realized how much time passed.


"Gaia beat him," answered Morgause.


"Lean in the face of Keeper or you will die by my hand," threatened Helios with the sword.


"A Cyclops like you was under confession and lost all his army," said Morgana and mocked the prisoners.


"Shut up mad witch. Your eyes glow when you speak about power," snapped Gargarensis being furious. "You think you are the Keeper?"


"I am the Titan Oranos. I am the father of the gods and master on Olympus," replied the Keeper putting everybody at current.


"You Kronos father?" asked Kamos shocked. "So, that means Gargarensis is your ancestor,"


"I bow in your face, my lord, I will serve you until I will die," said Kemsyt.


"You will rejoin us to destroy the "Lands of the Livings" and everybody who lives there?" wondered Giller and wanted to be sure.


"I will serve you if will offer what Knows promise," said Gargarensis and yelled. "Make me a god."


"You will receive your reward when this world is over," said Keeper.


"How we prevent those using the Stone of Tears?" questioned Helios because he knew the danger.


"They need reading the scroll with Night Wisps," divulged the Keeper the big secret.


"Where is the scroll? They have it?" wondered Kemsyt.


"Everything is possible," replied the Keeper and advised his servants. "Be ready for everything."


"What is their next move?" wondered Morgana to make a plan.


"It is very easy," replied said the Keeper and explained. "They need a seeker to use the compass and must split up to read it."


"I don't understand what you are saying about the seeker," said Morgana


"They don't have the scroll," said Helios and realized. "The scouts saw them."


"Are you sure?" questioned Morgause the authenticity of the news.


"My servant, Michel Arkan betrayed me a long time ago," shared the Keeper and said. "Go to that forest and kill all Night whips."


"My lord," said All and split up in groups.


"I am too close for losing," said the Keeper to everybody.



In the morning, our heroes woke up all and were ready to resume their journey. They split up into two teams. The first went after Night wisps and second went to find a Scroll of Light. Dennee, Cara, Arthur, Merlin, Gwen, Elyan, Mordred, Cenred, Lancelot, Percival, Freya, Gwaine, Chiron, Ajax, and Leo went to Agaden Reach.


"Is your home dominated by magic?" asked Lancelot to open a discussion.


"You were in the Middle Lands with us" informed Cara because she didn't have time for jokes.


"What are these Night Wisps? How can aid us to read a scroll?" wondered Chiron because he never saw one.


"Night wisps are creatures of magic. They are the size of a miniature bottle and have a tiny voice. Few saw a night wisp. You cannot see a night wisp during the day. A night wisp cannot live many days away from their home and others. Their kind exhausts all their strength and dies, "revealed Dennee and continued. "The Night wisps emit a tiny flare of brilliant light that offers around them a silvery cast. Dims, as they grow frailer and changes to an intense rosy glow when touched by a Confessor."


"These Night Wisps are a firefly? How do they born their next regeneration?" wondered Gwen after seeing an image.


"They can only give birth at the Grottoes of the Northern Foothills," replied Cara and showed a memory. "Seeing the birth of one was the most beautiful moment that I saw in my life. She died to sacrifice herself to save her babies."


"What can do these little things?" wondered Gwaine become curious than ever and explained. "I am puzzled to know more about them."


"Can destroy compact objects, although this can kill them. Confessors as guides have also wielded them. They can recognize any person or object no matter how far away," shared Dennee. " They can alert their friends to approaching enemies."


"Our mission lies in their hands?" wondered Leo and realized the importance of the species.


"It seems," answered Mordred with regret because they were fragile. "I am overjoyed to go to a world where magic has no limits."


"Magic exists in Camelot," said Cenred remembering to Mordred.


"You can't forget the past when Arthur born," explained Merlin with regret about the White Purge.


"I understand," said Arthur upset about the sins of his dad.


"Why magic become purged from Camelot? What happened?" wondered Ajax because they never knew that.


"Uther's wife, Ygraine, could not make an heir to the throne of Camelot. He struck a bargain with the sorceress Nimueh," replied Lancelot the story. "He sent Gaius to the Isle of the Blessed to submit the request on his behalf. The bargain meant that life had to end for a fresh life to begin, and Ygraine died in childbirth. Uther blamed Nimueh and had her banished from the court."


"When someone is born, another person must die to be in the balance," stated Freya the rule of Old Religion. "That is insane."


"I don't want to say about this," said Cara and realized how dangerous was magic. "The magic is a weapon double-edged."


"What?" asked Gwaine because something was wrong.


"I am not sure," replied Gwen and resumed. "Nicci or Verna says if you desire a thing to happen, you must believe in it."


"You mean, how Nicci learned to do that trick with Dacra teleportation?" wondered Lancelot.


"So my father believes that and my mom died," concluded Arthur and hit a nearby tree.


"We have one more kilometer until we arrive at our destination," said Leon and looked at the map.


"Are you okay?" asked Merlin and healed his fist.


"Merlin, I'm fine," said Arthur and thanked him. "It is hard to know anything about your mother."


"What to say about me and my dad?" questioned Merlin and shared with everybody. "When I find him, the next second died."


"Stop complaining about your families," said Cara and pushed them. "None of you was lying and broken. Nobody killed his father and his mother died because of the loss."


"You were so charming for a long time," remarked Gwaine to detension the situation. "Now take a little break?"


"Why did the roc stop in a tree?" wondered Freya and released the bird.


"He drinks too many bottles of beer because Merlin when slept, charmed him," said Cenred because he saw him.


"Isn't his fault, I want to learn new spells," continued Gwen.


"I sniff something odd here that seems like smoke," observed Leo and cheeked the perimeter.


"These nuts burn the whole forest," explained Chiron and rushed to stop them.


"We must put stop them," commanded Ajax. and threw knives.


"Time to defeat some enemies," said Percival and killed some.


"Rahl said to Keeper how we can read the scroll," recalled Cara and wanted to hit him.


"He already knew how to prevent us and waited the opportune moment," thought Elyan.

The first team was fighting with enemies and beat them. Kahlan, Richard, Zedd, Shota, Rahl, Arkantos, Kastor, Amanra, Setna, Folstag, Reginleif, Nicci, Verna, Odysseus, Annalina, and Denna went after the scroll.


"Where this compass will lead us?" asked Kastor eager to find more.


"We are close," replied Folstag and tried to figure the right direction.


"Where do we go?" wondered Denna and said, "If we move from this area, it will not glow so powerful like now,"


"As a result, that means is underneath," concluded Annalina and fell in a hole.


"Where is Annalina?" asked Verna because she disappeared without a track. "A second ago was behind me."


"I fell in this hole," said Annalina after raising the hand for help. "I wanted to say that mine is under us."


"Great Annalina, priestess of Light fell in a hole," mocked Nicci.


"Are you okay?" asked Rochard after lifting her.


"Richard, people say you are dead because you escape from many things unharmed," said Denna.


"You need putting her back," continued Rahl after seeing the compass glowing stronger.


"Let's go dow," said Setna and jumped.


"Annalina, I admire your luck," said Reginleif and helped her jump.


"The scroll of Light is hiding in a hole!" exclaimed Zedd very surprised. "That is a joke?"


"Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander you expect the Scroll of the Light is somewhere up?" wondered Shota.


"Is dark there," said Arkantos and liked around to make a torch. "We need some torches."


"Be ready for everything," warned Kastor because was an unusual spot. "What can happen in a hole?"


"I fell the breeze," said Amanra after linking the finger to sense the air. "Is another way to exit. Kastor, someone protects this hole."


"You think Michel Arkan make guardians protect this area as same as the cemetery from Camelot?" wondered Kahlan.


"Yes," replied Amanra. "I notice you steal his collar."


"A long time was a powerful wizard named Cornelius Sigan," shared Rahl the story. "The legend said he made Camelot and one day would come from the dead to rule it."


"This warlock escaped because Arthur got an incompetent servant named Cedric," said Denna. "Sigan possessed the body of Cedric and Merlin cast a spell to send his soul back."


"Sigan carried his soul in a glass heart-shaped. When the soul entered, the heart turned blue," added Annalina.


"Sigan soul split in two," said Zedd very confused. "His spirit remains in that heart in Camelot and was, yet, flesh."


"Sigan killed Michel Arkan?" wondered Odysseus


"The Sisters of Dark followed him and wanted to hide," said Shota. "Michel entered the cemetery, but died because of Sigan. With last power made his troops to protect the glass heart."


"Why two glass hearts? One wasn't enough to keep his soul alive?" wondered Setna.


"When Sigan died, his soul entered the nearest soul vessel," replied Nicci. "Also, when Richard touched with the rune, the compass appeared."


"What did the personal bodyguards of Arkan when they saw you?" wondered Amanra.


"They attacked everybody," answered Richard with ease.


"I hope the second case would be better than first," hoped Odysseus and meant about their situation.


"If you live for eternity be my guest," said Kahlan because she hated that idea. "When we found the first Stone of tears, the Stone hid in a magical land from which they cannot leave."


"How you and Richard could leave from there?" asked Odysseus to understand better.


"Compass led them to Stone of Tears, but doesn't let exit," said Zedd and remembered how saved the day. "I teleported Stone of Tears outside of the magical land to exit with the help of the compass."


"Guys the protectors of the Scroll of Light are a group of enormous rats," said Reginleif disguised.


"They are Wilddeoren," said Richard and explained. "Wilddeoren are large, dangerous rodent carnivores, which infest the Tunnels of Andor. They are blind, sense their surroundings, and prey by smell. They as well display enormous teeth."


"Skulls everywhere you look," remarked Denna and prepared to fight as others.


The second team fought with ugly rats. In the tunnels encountered some group of monks and liberated them. They found Scroll of Light and got out of the hole. To stop enormous rats coming outside, Zedd and Shota sealed all holes with the help of the magic.
