The Red and Black Armies defeat Amon and send him to the dungeons with the rest of his disciples. They managed to bring peace to Cradle... only temporarily.
Little did they know there were disciples undercover in the Black Army for several years, and it was only recently they revealed themselves. They freed Amon and their comrades, causing a full-out war, even worse than the first one. The Magic Tower won the battle, and they took over Cradle.
Today, Cradle is under the rule of the Jabberwock brothers. Red and Black no longer existed. Cradle was under a strong dictatorship, and no one could stand up to dethrone them.
The brothers were merciless tyrants, killing anyone and everyone who goes against them. They made it a point to not let anyone in and out of Cradle, and they, too, have claimed the mountains, seas and forests surrounding the country.
The garden above the Civic Center was highly guarded by disciples and was off-limits to everyone. Anyone who tried to sneak in only got killed.
The Chosen Thirteen all went their separate ways, unable to save Cradle from the tyranny. Some died, others gone missing, while some were forced to work under the Jabberwocks.
