      Now that the battle was over, Darel had decided to rest for a few days in Magnus's. Darel despised every moment of it in the castle. Redrock and Zardoc didn't bother him even though they had many questions. Darel didn't bother to get up. Haolin was furious when Darel came in.

  Haolin, whom had traveled to where Darel was, would complain about the wounds saying stuff like," Broken leg, broken arm, three scars on your face. I doubt that you will ever completely recover."

  Luckily for both of them, Darel did. and the three marks on his face stayed. never to come off. They stayed as the mark of what darel faced and he would never recover from the shock of what magnus did.

   By the time he was healed, it was three weeks after the battle, and three weeks Magnus would have had to prepare for the search of the stones. Darel still had his sword, the sword of Uliac, and by now he realized that the four holes were meant for the stones.

   Darel decided to meet his brother and dear friend that day. and tell them what he has learned. They met in a room. None of the three said a thing. Eventually darel told them all he knew and he cried. he wept. and when darel told zardoc about how zardoc was his brother zardoc cried too.

   Thirty years they lived without even knowing that they were brothers.

   "darel....it was hard for your parents to let your brother go into the care of another man. your brother took over as king of Castle Geroc because I knew that he was the rightful king. there are many kings and queens. you, zardoc, my husband, and me. we all are here for one reason. we are here to protect the land. every action made is for a reason, everyone is here for a reason. your parents had a reason for separating you two," said Redrock.

  "Redrock...did you have any idea about who I was?" asked Zardoc.

   "no. even now my husband searches for you in the land of the dragon people."

   "then....." said Darel

   "if Magnus wants to find the stones then we shall beat him to them. we have no time to do anything else! darel, we start your lessons again after a week. but first. let's see you lift a rock." said Zardoc, wiping his tears away.

   "tfil thissiht cokr!"

   A small rock flew from in through the window and landed on Darel's hand. "that good enough?"

   "perfect," said Redrock.

"and soon i will be stronger than this," darel smiles. soon the land will be at peace.
