Dart woke up the next morning, eager to get an early start. Rosa left for the kitchen to start up breakfast. He decided that the party would head out to Leaf as soon as breakfast was consumed. Meanwhile, the party headed towards the banquet room where a feast was awaiting them. They came to see a gorgeous feast, and wasted no time eating. They discussed various things while enjoying their meal. Smoirgan, being cautious, decides to tie up Abyss and Aaron, and lock them in a secluded room. Abyss, however, finds this unsuitable and attempts to escape. With Leo holding back the power, he takes a bit of pain with the escape. He then crashes through one floor and ends up in the banquet hall where the others are eating, of course, looking for Dart. Dart doesn't agree with the actions of Abyss, and cleary states it, unfearful of any possible consequence. Smoirgan also exchanges his rally of threats towards Abyss. Abyss returns Darts remarks by offering a link to the past of Rosa, in exchange for the retreat of Leo from his body. Dart uproared with his final denial, rallied the group, and walked out, prepared to depart.
The group gathers outside of the castle, waiting for the others to ready their weapons and equipment. Abyss, however, keeps a hawk's eye view on them, ready to follow them as they leave. As Aaron, who was good again, regained consciousness, he had no recollection of his actions as Dark Aaron.
(Meanwhile ~ Astral Plain)
Lark meets Morgan and is intimidated greatly. Before long, Abyss busts through the doors, and pushes him aside. He reports of his failure once again, and is finally ready for any punishment. Even death. He longs for death, for he feels it is unavoidable. Morgan, responds positively, but of course in a negative way. He painfully rips the two beings apart, leaving the two of their bodies lying on the ground, near lifelessness. Lark, watches in amazement and horror.
(Homeworld)
A rift split open the morning lights, and Leo came through, crawling, and dragging the body of Abyss behind him, while calling for Dart. However, Michael is the first one to come to his aide. Max had plans to disperse of Abyss, but Leo stopped him, saying that there was more to Abyss than meets the eye, and Dart knew it. Michael then adds to the argument against killing him, but rather helping him out a little bit. Finally, Dart ended the bickering with a vote for the "not-killing" side. A new man adds to the conversation as well, known as Christopher Morganis. Finally, Leo is purchases a tent, and puts Abyss inside. He then quickly falls asleep outside of the tent. With that, the others left off.
Max starts off ahead of them, followed by Dart and Rosa on their horses. The others caught up and they finally set off as a group, to their next destination. Max was far ahead now as Dart waited for the anchors. However, Max and Methos ran into trouble. 12 monsters worth. 8 Goblins, 3 wolves, and a giant Ogre. The group engaged the first 8 goblins and had much success, however, the Ogre accompanied by the wolves decided to try their luck as they watched a few of the goblins die. The wolves and the Giant prove to be a hard challenge as they take control of the battle, however, reinforcements of Dart and the rest of the group. The wolves and goblins are defeated rather quickly, however the Ogre poses a large threat. But with the combined attacks of the group, defeated it with somewhat ease. However, more goblin came to back up their fallen friends. 10 to be exact, and 1 who found the newly woken Abyss. Abyss simply throws it to the side, Leo not far behind trying to get him to turn back. However, the other 9 goblins were fully equipped with weapons, and posed much troubles to the group. The group, with a slight struggle, dispatched the remaining goblins. The others look over the battlefield, some proud of their work. They now turn to what is to lie ahead of them.
