Callum sits on top of the storm spire and paints symbols, with Ibis sitting next to him.
Ibis: Yes, you are doing well.
Callum: Excellent.
Ibis: Now stand up and say the incantation.
Callum: Manus Pluma Volantis.
However, nothing is happening.
Callum: My hands itch a little, maybe it's starting to work ?
Callum waves his hands.
Ibis: Don't worry, it's quite a difficult spell. It takes quite a while to master it.
Callum: And we don't have it.
Ibis: I know that we have only known each other for one day. But I'm glad to have met you Callum.
Callum: I am the same way Ibis.
After that, they hug.
Ibis: Although, you have to get ready.
Callum: Yes you are right.
There are Callum and Ibis standing at the top of the mountain. Below them stand the armies of elves, humans and flenim. Opposite them stand the troops of Lord Viren.
Lord Viren gives the signal to attack and the two armies clash.
Callum is getting nervous.
Ibis: We can handle it calmly.
Suddenly a huge explosion is seen in the distance.
Callum: What was that ?
Ibis: Black magic.
Callum: They need to be helped.
Ibis: No, we have to stay here and repel the attacks. If we fail, it will be the end.
The battle is still going on, but some are already starting to approach.
Callum: Oh no they are getting closer.
Suddenly a roar is heard.
Ibis: Dragons ?
Callum: It is Ezran and he has brought help.
The dragons are attacking Viren's armies. But it turns out that it doesn't do anything.
Ibis: You are ready.
Callum: Yes.
On both sides, soldiers attack, but Callum and Ibis throw them off. Suddenly one surprises Ibis and slams him against the wall, so that Ibis lies unconscious. After this one throws himself at Callum. He tries to defend himself with a spell, but fails.
He picks him up by the neck.
Ibis regains consciousness, but is too weak to even get up.
The monster prepares to strike one last blow, but suddenly his hand is shot through by an arrow. This one is followed by two more piercing him.
Callum quickly runs up to Ibis.
Callum: Ibis, what is wrong with you.
Ibis: Calm down, I'm fine, well maybe I have a broken arm and probably a couple of ribs, but that's nothing. And what's going on ?
Callum: The troops from Duren and Katolis have arrived and we are winning.
Ibis: I'm glad to hear this information.
Callum looks at the top of the spire.
Ibis: Go to her.
Callum: To whom ?
Ibis: To the elf from the shadow of the moon.... What do you call her... Rayla ?
Callum looks puzzled.
Ibis: After all, I saw you looking at each other, nom don't worry, I'll just lie here.
Callum: Thanks dad.
Callum runs upstairs. Ibis leads him away with his eyes.
Ibis: Too bad Sarai can't see it.
Ibis sees a dragon land next to him and King Katolis descends.
Ibis: Is it after the battle ?
Ezran: Yes, but I don't have time to explain, where is Callum ?
Ibis: He went to the mountain, is there something threatening him ?
Ezran: Not only to him, but also to Zym.
Ibis: Oh no... Quickly help me up.
When Callum reaches the top he sees Rayla, dropping Viren.
Callum: No ! Not Rayla !
Callum quickly jumps down after her.
Callum: Manus Pluma Volantis.
However, nothing happens.
Callum: Manus Pluma Volantis.
It's still not working.
Callum: Rayla love you.
He closes his eyes.
Callum: Manus Pluma Volantis.
This time the runes begin to glow and the magician's wings appear.
He quickly flies down and catches Rayla.
Rayla: Callum you made it !
Callum: Because I love you Rayla, I really do.
Rayla: I love you too Callumie.
After tem they kiss and fly back to the top. Everything is watched by Ezran and Ibis, who flew on the dragon.
Ibis: But we got our son right didn't we Sarai ?
A single tear is shed by Ibis.
