They left Caerleon's kingdom and took Kara with them. The compass led them to a new kingdom, Gawant. Because the night came, they camped in the forest.
"Why don't you kill me after you tortured me like an animal?" said Kara.
"We wanted to stop Morgana, nothing more," said Arthur.
"Arthur told me about you," said Rahl, "but I don't understand something. Why did you die?"
"Because I wanted to destroy Camelot for what it did all these years."
"Do you know they allow magic in all Five Kingdoms?" said Arthur.
Nicci said, "Did you ever hear about redemption?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Nicci is a Sister of the Dark," said Lancelot. "She was a cruel enemy of the Sisters of the Light and anyone who wanted to stop the Keeper. She decided better work for her after betrayal. She redeemed and helped the Seeker and his friends."
"Nice description," said Nicci. "I like it."
"A Mord-Sith who received a third chance," said Percival, "and then she repaired her mistakes."
"My big brother killed all babies to stop a prophecy," said Richard. "He was the master of Mord-Siths, D'Haran soldiers, and the one who unleashed the power of Orden. He created rifts from the Underworld. Now he is repairing his mistakes."
"I am nothing more than a shadow of what I was," said Rahl.
Gwaine said, "A powerful Mord-Sith who uses two Agiels and is funny, deadly, powerful. Also did an incredible thing."
Kahlan and Dennee said, "Became friends with a Confessor."
Leon said, "These people did horrible things in their life and changed. Why don't you do the same, Kara?"
"And who was the one who opened your eyes and made you see magic isn't evil?" said Kara.
"Zedd is right," said Arthur. "Uther poisoned my mind because he lost his wife, Ygraine. Morgana used her power for selfish gain, Morgause made me almost kill my father. Also, your death corrupted Mordred. Last time I gave a chance to magic, an old sorcerer killed my father. He was not at fault because Morgana's enchantment made a collar that turned the effect of a spell times ten. The same sorcerer saved the life of my wife, Gwen, but transformed into a lady.
"A lady... Seriously..." said Cara.
"And who is this warlock?" said Cara. "I want to know him."
"You already know," said Arthur. "It is Merlin."'
"Kilgharrah told me about a prophecy," said Gwen. "Is it true, Merlin?"
"Yes, the prophecy was to help Arthur build Albion and protect him."
"This was your responsibility?" said Richard. "Or did you do it because you liked it and you believed in prophecy?"
"The first days was my responsibility," said Merlin, "but Arthur became more than a brother. Thus, I did that because we protect each other. And I don't believe in prophecy."
"See, it is the same as Richard," said Verna. "Now you know why I let him escape when he said the plan."
"And after everything that happened," said Annalina, "you didn't give the Stone to the Keeper. The only reason you did was that Nicci blinded you."
"Yes," said Richard.
"And what should I do now?" said Kara.
"Go to your friends," said Gwaine.
"To the Druids," said Lancelot.
"And what will happen to Mordred?" said Kara.
"Write a message," said Leon, "give it to a crow, and live your life together."
"And don't be afraid someone will hunt you," said Arthur.
"Except banelings, creepy creatures, Morgana's friends, you know," said Cara.
"Thanks for helping and sorry for what I did," said Kara.
Kara and Mordred, when they were little, created their language. She wrote to him to come to the Druids and told him what happened. Mordred woke up in the middle of the night. He met Kara, wrote a message for our heroes for what they did, and sent a crow to give it to them. In the message, he wrote:
Thanks for helping. After what I did in my life I thought you would never forgive me because I killed you, Arthur. I helped Morgana, I told her who Emrys was. I hope one day we will meet again and we will help each other. I will tell the Druids and more in Albion, you can use magic, but to help others, not in selfish games like Morgana Pendragon, Morgause and more... Good luck and save the "lands of the living" from the "Underworld". You must find the Stone of Tears and defeat the Keeper once for all.
"That rat has gone..." said Morgana.
"His girlfriend made him leave," said Giller.
"He was a coward, nothing more," said Helios.
"So I returned," said Morgause.
"I survived because I fell in a rift," said Morgana.
"And why did it take you so long to come here?" said Giller.
"Last time I saw you were at the Dark Tower if I remember well, right?" said Morgause. "From that day passed three months."
"You tried three months to catch us?" said Helios.
"And why didn't you send anything?" said Morgana.
"Your mission is more important than me. At least I found this," said Morgause.
"The cup of life," said Giller.
"Only this one thing? You are joking, right?" said Helios.
"I am glad you ask," said Morgause. "Morgana, these are my new friends Tristan de Bois, Knights of Medhir and my favorite, Lamia."
"Where did you find them?" said Giller.
"In the Underworld are more enemies of Camelot who seek revenge."
"My men found this," said Helios.
"A scroll about Boxes of Orden," said Giller. "Send troops to Gawant's kingdom. We destroy that box."
"Why?" said Morgana. "What is so important about this box?"
"Its power destroyed the veil between worlds."
Our heroes entered the kingdom of Gawant. They felt something wrong happened there. Shota used her vision spell and saw all the people sleeping. Arthur and Merlin remembered the knights of Medhir. The next second knights, Tristan de Bois, and banelings attacked them. Tristan de Bois took the map and ran away. Cara and Denna destroyed the knight with her powers. All the people woke up and did not know what happened.
"What happened here?" said Elena.
"The knights of Medhir made everyone sleep," said Arthur.
"They took the map and captured a man; that is the only thing I remember. They said something about the Boxes of Orden."
Richard said, "We must stop them and hide box."
Nicci said, "What is so important about this box?"
"Whoever has all three parts of Boxes of Orden can control everything," said Lancelot.
"How do you know that?" said Merlin.
"My father was like Gwaine, traveling wherever he saw and heard many stories."
"I need water fast," said Shota.
"Again, a water spell?" said Leon.
"I see nothing," said Gwen.
"Only a Wizard of the First Order can do this. Giller," said Zedd.
"I know that place," said Percival. "I broke up a relationship there and she committed suicide."
Percival led them to the place and saw Morgana with her friends. Morgana tortured the man because he knew where a copy of the Boxes of Orden was hiding. That man was Alator. Alator, when he was a young man, learned magic at the Palace of the Prophets. All Sisters liked him and some Sisters of the Dark confessed him their nature. He was a problem for them because all the girls loved and fought for him, but all his life he loved a single person: Verna. He knew they can't be together because her heart belonged to someone else, Warren. The prelate exiled from the Palace of the Prophets and before he left, he said. "One day, my dear Verna, you will throw a Dacra into Annalina". After a year, Verna left the Palace of the Prophets to find the Seeker and bring him there to learn how to use magic. Verna returned home after twenty-five years. Annalina banished her from the Order. She threw a Dacra into Annalina because she wanted to save the Seeker and his friends.
"Alator, my old friend," said Morgana, "where are the Boxes of Orden?"
"Why do you need it so much?"
"To rule the entire world," said Helios.
"Enough talk," said Morgana. "My friend will make you talk."
"You think I am afraid of a little snake? I am a baneling."
"And last time you killed?" said Morgana.
"Three months ago."
"You lie," said Giller. "You must kill every day in the Keeper's name to survive."
"He is telling the truth," said Morgana. "How is this possible?"
"Hunted like an animal thirty years because I have magic," said Alator. "Killed almost all the time, tortured by mad kings, always I thought I would die. Spectacular, I survived and it strengthened me. The Keeper wanted my soul kept here in my heart."
"A simple snake or an Agiel of a Mord-Sith wouldn't stop him," said Helios.
"Right, a simple Agiel is nothing," said Giller, "but if you are a true Catha priest that means you torture many people. Some died because they couldn't resist the torture."
Our heroes found them and listened to their talk. Verna threw a Dacra and a Mord-Sith turned back. Cara deflected it into the head of the Sister of the Dark. Alator saw Verna after many years. Meanwhile, Kahlan used Con Dar.
"Kill them all!" said Kahlan.
Morgana said, "What is that? Why listen to her?"
"The most powerful Confessors own this power," said Giller. "Con Dar or Blood Rage. Archers, shoot her."
"Not so fast," said Dennee.
"Retreat now," said Giller. "I can't hold Con Dar away any longer."
"But Alator?" said Morgana.
"I will take care of this. Run!" They disappeared.
"Thanks, you saved my life," said Alator. "Verna, I am so glad to see you. Did you throw a Dacra into Annalina.?"
"What?" said the Verna
"Where are the Boxes of Orden?" said Leon.
"If they destroy them," said Percival, "it will unleash the power of the Keeper."
Rahl said, "I am afraid of that."
Gwen said, "Where are the boxes of Orden?"
"It makes me mad," said Alator, "but I never saw this language in my life."
Zedd said, "The language from Book of Uncounted Shadows."
"A language that known by the Seeker, and written about," said Leon. He read,
"Daobeth had the strongest citadel out of the five kingdoms. Although the kingdom lost by dragons, there the Boxes of Orden are hiding."
"It is impossible!" they all said. "There can't be two Seekers."
After they freed Alator, the Seeker's sword multiplied for both Seekers of Truth, Leo, and Richard. Giller before he disappeared, used magic to make flowers grow where Alator walked. After this send scouts to follow them. They did not attack them until they found boxes because they did not know where they were. Morgana sent some Mord-Siths to Ismere. There they attempted capturing Diahmer to tell her where the Boxes of Orden and the Stone of Tears were. She committed suicide before Mord-Siths attacked her. Diahmer hoped to be near friends and her kind because she saw no point living. Morgana and her allies left because the heroes came. After this, Cara resurrected her.
"Thanks for everything, Mord-Sith," said Diahmer.
"Are you a Confessor?" said Cara.
"I am Diahmer, the key to knowledge."
"Do you know where the Stone of Tears is?" said Richard.
"I know, but I can't tell you because a long journey will make you patient and you will learn many things."
"Where is your family?" said Lancelot.
"I am the last of my kind. All died or hunted down."
"Soon you won't be the last of your kind," said Gwen.
"They can resurrect your friends," said Elyan. "Nicci can bring the soul of someone back into a body. Cara or Denna can resurrect it with the breath of life. Merlin, Zedd, and Shota can make that body like your friends'."
"First, you need bodies," said Shota.
"Soon we will kill them, and take the Boxes of Orden," said Alator.
"We are doing the same strategy as we did with the Confessors?" said Nicci.
They all said, "Yes."
"It's too easy," said Richard. "They aren't attacking to stop us when we are so close to Daobeth."
"You don't like easy things, my brother?" said Rahl.
"We are safe for the moment. Giller doesn't track the boots of someone," said Zedd.
"Trap or not..." said Shota.
"We must be vigilant," said Percival.
"Because they can attack at any moment to take the box," said Gwaine.
Our heroes camped in the forest because the next day they expected to reach the old kingdom of Daobeth. Alator remembered a story about it. A long time ago, Daobeth was a powerful kingdom until dragons destroyed it, but the reason was unknown. A scholar found in an old book a scroll about the Boxes of Orden and a spell. That scholar went to his king and showed what he discovered with the hope he would receive. The king killed that scholar and called a wizard to cast that spell. When the wizard realized he unleashed powerful evil magic, he wanted to destroy it but died. With this power, the king controlled everything, even the most powerful magical creatures. Hope did not end there. Once every 500 years was born a child who could not use magic, but the magic can't affect it. He was friends with a dragon and told what happened here. That child, when he grew up, became the servant of the king. One day, all three boxes split apart and the power of Orden disappeared. All dragons realized they were slaves and destroyed everything. He hid all three boxes in a secret chamber and ran away. Before the king's troops caught him, he gave the box to a friend and hid the map in the kingdom of Gawant. Our hero died because he refused to say where the boxes were hiding. In his name, all dragons destroyed the entire kingdom and killed all people it did not matter what they were.
In the morning, they left and entered the ruins of the castle.
"This is the place," said Alator.
"And the box is ours," said Giller.
"How did you follow us?" said Verna.
"I know Zedd is a Wizard of First Order like me," said Giller, "and he will try to see if we track Alator,"
"And you used a path of flowers to lead you to the Box," said Lancelot.
"Are you joking?" said Nicci.
"He is right," said Morgana, "but soon the power of Orden will be mine. Kill them all."
Lamia used her powers to twist the mind of all men and fight for her. Denna, after a long fight, killed her. Cara corrupted Medhir's knights and Tristan de Bois went fighting with the enemies. Medhir's knights died when Morgause and Morgana broke up the spell. The heroes won the fight, but the villains ran away with a box. The heroes destroyed the boxes and burned to stop anyone from using their power in selfish games. Morgause and Helios destroyed the last Box of Orden because it was useless without the other two. After this adventure, they returned to the kingdom of Gawant.
"I will come with you," said Alator.
"No," said Verna, "it is too dangerous. Your people need you. You are a leader and without you, they lose."
"But-"
"I know it is hard, but after this, I will return to you."
"You won't return to the Palace of the Prophets?" said Annalina.
"I lost twenty-six years trying to find the Seeker. And I want my life, having kids, and a good husband. Warren, before dying said to rebuild my life,"
"I am sorry for your loss," said Alator. "And promise you will return to fulfill my promise."
"I swear on my life and the prophecy said he was born in Brennidon but Zedd saved his life and took him to Hartland."
"You could stay here." said Richard.
"I want to complete this trial."
They saved the kingdom of Gawant, Alator, and destroyed the Boxes of Orden. They kept one Sister of the Dark and with her help revived all Diahmers. Now they left the kingdom and waited for a new journey of where the compass would lead them.
