[Giorginetto]

Oh Noooo !!! Tracancis is dead !!!!  .. bloody dwarfs seem to have won the day !!!! 

I hope the dragons win the next battle / fight .... 

[WarriorOfToys]

Wrapping up quite nicely...
Or is it?
There is still one more kingdom under the rule of Artrac.

[Tiermann]

Great advance to the story. Is the ending in sight?

[Vauban]

@Giorginetto: not the next 

@WarriorOfToys: Yes, it is. You will read about it in the last chapter. 5 years ago I had no Sys-X, so it's only a short note - but when I will translate the "Handelsgilde" there will be much more about the sixth "kingdom".

@Tiermann: Yes, the end (of the time of the wolves) is in sight. Today you have to read two chapters...

Here we go with the end ...

Chapter XX.

After they passed through the door, they were already expected by ARN, LILIAN and the surviving wolf warrior. When TURAS saw his beloved LILIAN, he ran to her. TURAS pressed the young woman firmly actually, thus as if he wanted to never release her again. His brother recognized immediately the wolf man, because in his memory their last meeting was only a few hours ago, but not eighteen years. ARN welcomed his royal friend disbelievingly. In this joy over their reunion the small YESIS kept still his cool consideration again. „You may be pleased still  later, but Deman YA needs our assistance now.“

[Vauban]

And YESIS should keep right. Deman YA felt with each attack of the witch that he became weaker and weaker. He could still resist one, perhaps also two attacks, but then his forces would be terminated. Again the witch collected her energy and hurled  against the highest pit master a further fire ball. Their rage and their hate seemed to give her inexhaustible power. There Deman YA saw, how his dwarves returned with the saved men.

[Vauban]

This gave him new courage, he mobilized his last reserves and turned now even into the attack. Blue-white lightnings twitched from his fingers and hit in the body of the witch. She reeled, but she did not fall. TURID took the sword and threw it against lady CHRONA. Weakened by the attack of the highest pit master she could not evade to the projectile any longer. Deadly met she sank to soil. The life yielded from her, and her skin shrank, became translucent and fragile. In a few seconds she seemed to age around centuries and disintegrated to dust.

[Vauban]

The humans and the dwarves hurried immediately to the courageous Deman YA, which had defended so long the attacks of the witch. But the last effort had been too much for the old dwarf. „We have triumphed?“ He murmured to his companions. YESIS gave the answer for them all, „yes, we triumphed. Those dragons were destroyed.“ „That's fine. Now I can dismiss my soul without concern into the depth… “ Deman YA closed his eyes and died. Full mourning the companions spoke the dead prayer for the highest pit master. Then they remained in silence. 

[Vauban]

LILIAN broke as the first the silence. „Is really everything past? Did we triumph?“ „For the instant it seems in such a kind “, answered ARN to LILIAN's question. „We proof the dead ones the last honour, then let us return home“, he suggested. TURAS wanted to know. „Home? Where we are at home? Which place can we call still at home?“ „We will turn back to the lily castle, if it's still existing", answered his brother.

Chapter XXI.

The wolves were the messengers, and within shortest time the rebels and groups of resistances distributed over the countries had gotten in touch with one another. And in such a way it happened then that the victorious rebels on the lily castle met. Rapidly numerous aiding hands were found to remove ARTRAC's coat of arms and his signs. The people hurried to prepare the castle again for the legal heirs. 

[Vauban]

Many of the former comrades in arms had come: Queen SELLINAS, her daughter NIHRA and the knight SELVIC from the Bergreich, NUMUR and the blind OREJAN of the nomads, representatives of the wolves, BE'TAC and B'EL from Arboria, the old friends ARN, HADOR and JURAS, KUSDOR, TIRAN and EKWUS of the former rebels, Deman YORIM, the new highest pit master, and YESIS as representatives of the dwarves. Also the two surviving wolf warriors had appeared, and naturally also the master TURID and TURAS were present. Likewise LILIAN participated in this meeting. Since TURAS release she did not yield any longer from his side.
