My second year in Umquano, the forces of evil were reeking havoc within our realm, as The Maligant was attempting once more to control all!
A quest was undertaken to put an end once and for all to his reign of terror. While things were going alright for the most part, we were still lacking vital pieces of information that were needed to bring The Maligant's powers to a degree that we could handle!
Skyler and some others would need to make a trek to unknown regions to gain special magiks that would at last rid us of The Maligant & his minions.
Unfortunately, The Maligant & his minions had come to destroy Umquano, so we would need to buy Skyler some time.
Knowing that he must accept a challenge of honorable intentions, I did challenge The Maligant to battle only myself, and he accepted. I knew that I was out classed but had no choice as I held him off as long as I could before being struck down.
Many other fine & honorable villagers stepped up to challenge his evilness then, and one by one, villagers were slaughtered.
My head began to clear as Raven Spirit spoke in my mind, telling me that I must continue for the sake of all that is good.
I watched friends die before me as strength welled up within my body. Nearly all of Umquano lay either dead or dying upon the ground.
I finally gained my feet and issued my challenge once more, when I realized that StarStream Pawfoot, our Magistrate, had slowly but surely backed out of the village!
He may claim that the village would not be able to get by without a Magistrate, but then without a village to be The self appointed Magistrate of, where would he be?
But I digress...So The Maligant accepted the gauntlet and informed me that the powers of the hearth stone would offer my soul no solice. I told him that I would undertake any self-sacrifice if I may help the village of Umquano, Not just The Raven Clan!
Well, I battled as long as I could before finally meeting The Raven Spirit at last.
I sensed Skyler nearing the village, so felt at peace as the last few villagers held off The Maligant in hopes of Skyler's being successful in both his travels and use of the magik.
The magik did work to a degree, though only enough to stave off The Maligant temporarily rather than for all time!
There was however, enough magiks in the hearts of my friends that as they were healed or resurrected through the powers of the hearth stone.
They poured their goodness and well wishes into my battered body and somehow between the powers of the hearth stone, the well wishes of the village & The Raven Spirit; I did awaken!
I was bedridden for some time as I was weak & feeble from my efforts; but in the end, I was happily back in original form!
There is more to this story! Simply follow the Raven!
