Our heroes wanted to leave Camelot to find Stone of Tears, but they could not let Middle lands at the mercy of the Imperial Order and Jagang. Shota used a magical spell and saw the Mord-Sith Tower and the Palace of Prophets had low troops. They prepared to help the Midlands and after that, focus on their prime mission.
"If they know all Confessors who lived for the last 100 years are alive," said Rahl, "they will do all they can to kill them. They must be stopped."
"We can save the order of the Sisters of the Light from Jagang's control," said Nicci.
"How?" said Annalina.
"First, we must free from his will and after that, we will see what we will do next," said Lancelot.
"Can me and my knights come to help you?" said Arthur. "I know your home is there."
"If you don't come, Arthur," said Richard, "you miss all the fun."
"It'll be a party," said Gwaine.
"We shouldn't take Merlin," said Denna. "He isn't a knight."
"What?" said Merlin.
"I'm joking," said Denna.
"My knights and my warlock," said Arthur.
"Now I feel important," said Merlin.
They laughed.
They used some dragons to go to Middle Land. Kilgharrah was happy because he saw his home again after many years. Cara wanted her father and mother to live again; she regretted killing her father, and her mother died because it was hard to lose her husband. They went to Cara's house and revived them. They were happy to live again. Our heroes explained what happened.
"I regret I killed you," said Cara.
"No!" said Dave. "It isn't your fault, but I am glad you found a new path. You found many friends who like you and a nice boyfriend."
"Father!"
"It's been many years since I've seen you," said Kilgharrah.
"My dragon," said Dave, "are you okay? You find your friends in Camelot?"
"I am the son of King Uther," said Arthur. "Magic was in Camelot, but my father was tricked by Nymueh and sacrificed my mother to have me. For that, he declared war on magic and killed all magical things. My father was revived and changed a lot. I apologize in the name of my father."
"Sad," said Dave, "but magic works in mysterious ways. And yes, never trust a Sister of the Dark."
"What?" said Merlin. "Nymueh, a Sister of the Dark? But she was of the old religion."
"Hey!" said Nicci. "It doesn't matter who you are. It matters what you do."
"She is right," said Annalina. "Once she was a cruel enemy, but now she's our friend."
"A Sister of the Dark who redeems to light, but she keeps her dark powers," said Dave. "Nice, I like it. You are like my daughter and Denna."
"We must finish our job here and must find Stone of Tears," said Cara.
"That means the Keeper wants to rule the world again."
"It's funny," said Kilgharrah, "that the Creator doesn't know where the Stone is because it was created by someone."
"Good luck," said Dave. "I am glad to see you again."

Our heroes left Cara's house and went to the Palace of the Prophets in the Old World to free the Order. Some scouts saw them and sent General Egremont with an army to stop them. He was surprised to see Darken Rahl was alive and called him a traitor. Some Sisters of the Dark appeared. Kahlan and Dennee confessed some Sisters of the Dark but Dennee used Con Dar for the first time. She could not control it, but Kahlan stopped her. Dennee was afraid to use her power again, but Kahlan taught her and wanted her to use it again. General Egremont went to the Tower and gave a message that their enemies would ambush them. Also, he warned Jagang about the coming of Rahl and the Seeker. Sisters of the Dark created many magical creatures and banelings to stop them. They made them protect the Palace of the Prophets. Every moment they could be ambushed. Luck or not, the magical forest was enchanted again and they lost. The way to the Palace of the Prophets was hidden. The Dorochas did not know the way. Leo remembered the compass that led them there to save Richard, so they used it again.
"That compass works, but where will it guide us?" said Leo.
"Everywhere but here," said Gwaine.
"I hope to the Palace of the Prophets," said Arthur.
"Me too," said Verna. "I want to see my home."
"What?" said Richard.
"After she saved you," said Annalina, "I banish from the Order and after some months make her Priestess, faking my death."
"You are nuts," said Cara. "I should kill you when I have the chance."
"She was wrong," said Dennee, "but we mustn't take her head, right?"
"I hope so," said Merlin.
"If we see fog covering the way," said Nicci, "that means it is a good way."
"Why?" said Lancelot.
"Because there is a way to protect such a place," said Rahl.
They found the fog and entered the Old World. There saw how much the place changed from the last time they. Rifts from the Underworld, banelings, statues of the Keeper and many things that represented his existence. They destroyed everything in their way: monuments, statues and more. Sisters of the Dark attacked them. Some of them were thrown into rifts. They confessed a Sister of the Dark. She told them a story. They listened and had to find and destroy the dark heart so he would become what he was before the Keeper corrupted him. The dark heart is an altar with candles. They had to destroy it to summon a powerful monster. That monster, when defeated, had to be thrown into the rift to close it.

"You won't defeat me," said the Keeper. "The entire world will be mine. Knights of Camelot, your home is far away from here."
"The only one who will be defeated is you," said Rahl.
"Haha! The Palace of the Prophets is mine now. Sisters of the Light will burn in flames if you continue."
"This is the end for you," said Annalina.
"The light side always will beat the dark," said Merlin.
"Nice words, young warlock. Thanks for unleashing my power."
"Unleash your power? No!" said Arthur.
"Shadow water cures all banelings, and dragons—that means no more souls for you," said Merlin.
"No souls, no army," said Gwaine. "And yes, go to sleep, it is late."
"Arghhh..." cried the Keeper.
The heroes kept fighting with the Keeper in the dragon form. After a long fight, they beat him and banished the Dragon in the Underworld. They entered to Palace of Prophets and looked for something to stop Jagang corruption. Annalina by curiosity checked the altar and discovered the candles had a specific smell. Analyzing better, they concluded, Jagang used a drug to destroy the will of Sisters of the Light. Our heroes destroyed the altar with magic because each candle belonged to a Sister. After this, the Sisters of Light escaped from Jagang's control and left with the heroes.
An army of banelings, D'Haran soldiers, Jagang, Narev, Mord-Sith, Morgana, Mordred, Saxons, and mercenaries attacked them. They were outnumbered, but the heroes received unexpected help. Twenty Confessors heard about their trip to the Middle Land and came to help them. Morgana was captured and Cara put her Agiel in her mouth. Mordred saw that and transformed Morgana into a crow. She flew away with Cara's Agiel in her beak. The fight was over.

"Morgana stole my Agiel...," said Cara.
"There are many dead Mord-Sith here," said Dennee, "why don't you take one."
"That was my favorite Agiel. Fine, I will take one."
Mordred and Morgana hid in the forest with some guards. Mordred transformed Morgana back into a human. She spat the Agiel from her mouth and started babbling. Mordred did not listen to her and started laughing. She gave Mordred a big slap. Jagang and Narev looked weird at the scene and blamed for not beating Rahl and his friends.
"Why did you do that?" he said.
"You think it is funny to have that thing in my mouth? I can't feel my mouth—it hurts."
"How can you talk then?"
"Magic. Cenred betrayed us. His castle is near Camelot. He allied with Uther to protect each other. His army listens to him."
Our heroes found some corrupted living stars. They cured them with magic and flew away. Kahlan thought the Sisters of the Dark, fed them to gars to hunt during the day. They left the Old World and sealed the door between worlds. Morgana and Mordred succeed to leave while Jagang and the Imperial Order remained there.
All 20 Confessors went to Hartland with the Sisters of the Light to create a rebellion there to fight with D'Hara and the remaining Jagang Imperials. Meanwhile, the heroes reached the temple and observed Morgana and Mordred escaped. Sisters of the Dark were ready to attack in every moment to stop them. They were invisible now. Cara told Dorochas to attack them. A Dorocha took an invisible Sister, and she died instantly and appeared. They knew it was a trap so Zedd cast a spell and created a shield; Merlin cast a spell and made them visible. They attacked. Sisters of the Dark who protected the entrance were dead. The heroes entered the Tower and saw a secondary altar.
"What we do now?" said Arthur.
"We destroy the altar too," said Cenred
"What is that creature?" said Dennee. "it stays on the altar waiting for something,"
"I need water and a vessel to cast the spell," said Shota.
"Why don't you create it?" said Zedd.
"Water in a vessel?" said Nicci.
Kahlan and Dennee said, "We can use Con Dar to call it."
"You should see her first," said Merlin.
"Watch out, Merlin," said Lancelot.
Merlin said the incantation and a big dragon exited from the altar. The magical users teleported outside. Dragon exited the Tower and our heroes went after him. Merlin could not control the dragon with his power of Dragonlord and Kahlan and Dennee with Con Dar either. Flames of the dragon destroyed dacras of Nicci, Verna, and Annalina. Denna and Cara turned the flames against the dragon. Merlin and Zedd blocked the flames of the dragon with wizard fire. Leo, Richard, Percival, Arthur, Elyan, Gwaine, Lancelot, Leon, Rahl, and Freya shot arrows at the dragon with crossbows. Nicci, Verna, and Annalina used dacras and Kahlan and Dennee used knives. They split up into four groups. Zedd, Merlin, Cara, and Denna protected the groups.
"I am the Keeper," said the Dragon, "I will rule the entire world, and you can't stop me! Haha!"
"No!"
"I hate fighting with a dragon," said Arthur.
"You mean you hate fighting with the Keeper right?" said Gwaine.
"How will we kill him?" said Percival "It is useless."
"No! Your time ends here, prepare to be defeated, monster" said Kilgharrah.
"Kilgharrah," said the Dragon, "you will burn in the Underworld; I have a special place for you."
"I am not a Dragonlord," said Cara, "but I can be more than that. Come here, Kilgharrah."
"You want to fly, Cara?"
"Enough talk," said the Dragon, "you are dead."
"And how are we breathing now?" said Leo.
"What a foolish dragon," said Cenred.
Cara jumped onto Kilgharrah and went to face the dark dragon. Kilgharrah breathed flames at the dragon; Cara shot arrows after the dragon and blocked the flames of the dragon. Cara discovered her magical powers and enhanced the arrows to boost Kilgharrah's powers.
"That—that... Is impossible," said Rahl. "A Mord-Sith with magical powers..."
"And she can still deflect magic," said Denna.
"Can boys become Mord-Sith?" said Merlin.
"Mord-Sith boys fight in the D'Haran army," said Rahl.
"Merlin," said Cara, "come here, you are missing all the fun."
"I cast a spell," said Zedd, "come here fast, Kilgharrah."
"I am already here old man," said Kilgharrah.
"My nose," said the Dragon.
Merlin enhanced the weapons and made them immune to magic so they could all hurt the dragon. Cara enhanced the arrows with more power, and Merlin boosted Kilgharrah. Cara's arrows combined with Kilgharrah's flames, the wizard fire of Merlin, Zedd, and Shota, and at last, with the powers of Verna, Nicci and Annalina created a big magical dacra that cut the dragon in two. The dragon fell into the rift.
"No!" said the Keeper. "That's impossible..."
With the second defeat of the Keeper, our heroes went to Hartland to send the other Confessors there. The magical users combined their powers and took the Confessors into Hartland.
"You must stay here," said the Sisters of the Light.
"Now I must help them," said Verna, "and you will replace me until I will return, so take care of this place."
"The next target is the Palace of People."
"We will kill the traitors," said Rahl.
"And after this little mission," said Freya, "we will find the Stone of Tears to stop the Keeper."
"But we don't know how to use Stone yet," said Elyan.
"We will find something to tell us," said Richard.
The next day, with the help of the dragons, they reached the Palace of People. The heroes spit in groups and entered stealth there. Freya transformed into a fierce cat and flew onto the roof with Merlin. He could throw wizard flames from there. Our heroes entered the Tower. They freed who revolted against Jagang prisoners and killed Jagang's spies. Rahl killed General Egremont with his hands. The rescued prisoners went to Hartland alongside the people who remained loyal to Rahl's cause. After two days in Middle Land, they returned home. They were all glad to see them. Gwen was sad because they would go after the Stone of Tears and she would not see Arthur for a long period.
"Are you okay, Gwen?" said Arthur.
"Yes," said Gwen.
"Why are you upset?" said Merlin.
"The Stone of Tears will be hard to find and I won't see you for a long time," answered Gwen
"Then come with us," said Arthur. "I swear on my life I will protect you."
"So romantic," said Ygraine.
"Take care of my kingdom until I return," said Cenred.
"Right, my friend," said Uther.
"How long will you be gone, Arthur?" asked Renn.
"I don't know my little brother."
"Tomorrow will be a big day," said Merlin.
"And every day will be one step closer to beating the Keeper," said Kahlan.
"Right," said Kilgharrah, "but Cara, how can you use magic if you are a Mord-Sith?"
"Dragonlord powers are different from Mord-Sith power," said Cara and smiled. "You give me the powers as you do with Merlin."
Our heroes told everyone what they did in the Middle Land. Ygraine and Hunith, for a successful trial, made a cake for them. They celebrated Gwen and Elyan's birthday because they were born in the same week and our heroes would leave Camelot tomorrow.
