Before Ample could move, the spear shone across the barren forest, bringing life to every branch and flower that surrounded him, standing there alone.


The lake, returning to it's formal colour, of translucent blue. The beast had crawled, up high, into the cave beneath the lake, just missing the touches' of the spear's powerful rays'.

Ample looked before him, realising he was holding the key to, Descales' kingdom. Having seen visions' through the power of the stone, he bowed his head in respect, making his way back, towards' the compound of the Elves'.

Upon entering the compound; Ample was greeted by almost everyone. The children approached him, looking for answers'. Ample pushed past the crowd, on his return. He retreated into himself, leaving everyone wondering about his condition. It took him many days' to approach me, and even then he restricted himself in his speech.

Murcle looked up into the seated crowd, I tried many ways' to get him to tell me about the spear and it's powers', but each time I approached him, he rebuked my invitation. And so, we have forbidden him to join us in our community ".

Murcle stood up, stretching. " Anyway ", he said. " It's another day tomorrow. We will start to make new plans'; immediately ". He turned, making his way towards' the door of the tent, just before, making his exit, he turned again, and said, " I suggest you get some sleep " . And with that, he disappeared out, into the darkness of the shadowy night.
