Shadows

Part five: epilogue

The world had changed. Our lives had never been the same. The dark elves were being reborn into something better. Raziel was looking after the light world with Ransill.

Ranthirs continued to secure Dransid in the cosmos and made sure that he would never come back.

And Eve Darin and I returned home. After everything, we wanted a normal life. Fighting dark elves and the shadow monsters of the Void had become tiring. I wanted a normal life with my friends after all that had happened.

The town in the void held a local ball every month to celebrate the end of the great war. Me and Eve attended every time.

I hung my armor in my room, as a reminder of my battle with Dransid. It still had some of the dust and dirt from the battle in Shallowhelm.

And every week, I visited them.

The two brothers. Finally together.

Carrik's grave was now centered beside Zant's.

They had been the best mentors I had ever had. Carrik taught me how to live in this world. And Zant taught me how to adapt to it.

Then one day, I walked up to their graves.

"Hello old friends." I said. "I don't know if you're still watching or not. But things have changed. Some for good, others for bad."

I then reached into my bag and brought out the four crystals of elements. Their beautiful pristine form now contained the black shadows of Dark magic.

I felt my eyes turn a shade of black, as the dark magic rose inside of me.

"And I intend to fix those bad things. For there are still things. That lurks in the shadows."
