Abyss Threatens Again

The others check up on one another, while tending their own wounds, wondering if the fiend would return to conciousness and it would start all over. Dart looked cautiously at Aaron, but then asked Mina to come over and heal Rosa. The battle has been won. Now where would the travels take them. Michael, who arrived after the battle, sits back and observes while Watensi checks on the rest of the party. Max trembles as he realizes what all just happened. He had nearly killed his comrade in arms Dyne. He contemplates his actions carefully. However, his thoughts are interrupted by a newcomer, Jbot, who is in search of the Sword of Legend, the Stormfinder. Michael is intrigued by this newcomer, and comes over to question him. Abyss does not like the mention of his master's sword, and knocks Jbot through a wall, and proceeds to get Dart. Threatening the kings life, his ransom is Leo out of his body. In the meantime, he reveals his intentions to Jbot very loudly. Aust re-enters the scene as a hero, and fires a flaming arrow at Abyss, hitting him in the shoulder, causing him to lose grips on the king. Michael retrieves the king and retreats back. Aust disappears from sight.

Abyss is soon annoyed by the sudden heroics. He sets his sights on Michael, and soon makes him the target of attack. The attack hits, and knocks away Michael, who saved the King, however Aust is able to connect with an arrow to the wrist of Abyss. With his attention on his wrist, he barely blocks the attack by Michael. He is angered and flees towards a swampy marsh, away from the party. Taking the king along for the ride.

(Meanwhile in the castle) Michael lays on the ground while Aust and Jbot accompany him. They watch as Abyss escapes, and notice that Circe enters the room. Circe joins the others and introduces herself, and recieves other introductions. Smoirgan took the escape of Abyss personally harshly, his mind focused on revenge.

(Meanwhile with Abyss) Abyss looks the king over, trying to find what they see in him. He delivers the backhand, and questions him on the whereabouts of Kaiser, otherwise, he awaits Dart and the others.

(Meanwhile in the castle) Max comes to and submits a sarcastic laugh directed towards Jbot and Smoirgan. He reminds them that Morgan wields the Stormfinder, the object of Jbots search, and that Abyss is nothing compared to him. Suddenly, Abyss once again returns, king in hand. He stares at Dart and threatens the king's life if his demands are not met. Dart was enraged. Dark Aaron then awoke and charged at Rosa. She saw this and let out a scream of terror. A white light then drowned the room. When the light cleared, Aaron was normal, and Abyss was out cold, everyone else was restored to perfect health. Rosa, fell to the floor exhausted.
The party seems much confused about what happened. Michael, rushes to cradle Rosa who isnt in good condition at all. Aust, decides to leave the party after. Max decides not to sleep, and begins wandering the castle. Jbot returns quickly, but finds that nothing is amiss and calls it a night as well. The rest do as well, leaving Abyss on the ground, out cold.
