The Sorcerer reappeared in a hall of the castle. He needed to be away from the Swordbearers' magic-although he was ashamed to admit it, the forces he had come in contact with were more powerful than he had first thought.

I escaped the tombs where the Three Swordbearers imprisoned me. But the descendants are arising."
