It was past lunchtime when Tharn and Istar walked down the stairs, holding hands.
The others were in the main room, already finishing their lunch, and they all looked at the couple, who seemed peaceful and at ease.
Tharn pulled a chair for Istar, and he then sat right next to her, while everyone waited in expectation.
Iris stopped eating and asked, glowing with Magic, "I sense a strange calm in you, Tharn. Do I need to be worried?"

Before the enormous group arrived at Elkenore, Iris left. She had a very specific mission: to gather as many Fairies as she could, and bring them with her to fulfill Tharn's plan.As soon as they made their final approach to the Guild's backyard, Herensuge raised his head. He was having a nap in the backyard, and the noise of wings flapping called his attention.Minutes later, he was taking off in search of Dragons that could help with the
At dinner in the Guild, and while waiting for their food, Mariam Awad had her head on the table, complaining, "Darn it… My bruises have bruises, and my calluses have calluses… Stupid beast and his stupid hammer… I hate you Tharn… I hate you so much…"Istar was at her side, also with her head on the table, and she supported her new friend. "Yeah… Stupid Tharn… I thought we could beat that thing with all our Elementals… He devoured Menace! In two bites! And he broke Destruction in two pieces with his bare hands!"
Three days later, Tharn and another batch of Adventurers were in the forest.Istar and Mariam's group were still in the City, buying supplies for the afternoon when they were going to take a break to eat and recover their strength.On the previous two days, they fought against Rusalka, and some Adventurers complained that they only got knocked out because they were hungry. So, to avoid any further excuses, Tharn asked Mariam to stop first at the market and to buy food and drinks, with Istar going with them because she wanted to ask Omarosa and Rusalka to make a present for Belidni, her mother.
Tharn signalled for everyone to stand down, and Istar raised slightly her eyebrows and asked, "And why do you want to talk to me, Necromancer? Yes, I know what you are. I can smell your stench. Level 100, I bet, considering the smell. The two near you are lower level, but Necromancers as well. And you surely know what we do to Necromancers in this country, don't you?"Before he could answer, Istar attacked. She went straight at his heart with a dagger and hit an invisible shield before she even got near his clothes. Without hesitation, she changed the trajectory, and in lightning speed, she killed the apprentice at his right. After dinner, and before the usual celebration started, Istar pulled Tharn up the stairs, leaving to his room.Their friends stood at the table, with Sophie staring at Kek and Muranu, while Mariam asked if their drinks were safe or if they were dumb enough to try something.In his room, Tharn sat at the table, waiting for Istar to calm down.After a few deep breaths, she told him everything about the Hooded Mage and the reason behind his destruction of Worlds.

The day finally came.After the back gates, there was an enormous square painted on the soil, with rows of chairs near the City wall and a vast group of people, gathered around the square to watch the fights.Istar and her group crossed the gates with a crowd following them and cheering.She walked to the middle of the square with her group at her side, and they waved at the spectators, all gathered there to watch the finals. Istar didn't wait for the Peacekeeper's hammer. When the enormous hammer hit the shield and made it flicker again, she jumped forward at the same time the gap increased from the powerful blow. The Hooded Mage tried to stop her, but she tackled him, and they both rolled on the floor with the shield surrounding them both. Tharn saw the Magical Portal disappearing, and he heard Istar shouting, even with all the noise, "Got you! Die, you bastard!" Lord Tharn Zon Chapter 108 - Defeat
It was already mid-morning in the 'Grand Duchy of Sirion.'The Duke was in his meeting room with all his Ministers gathered around a large table and a few Mages near the farthest wall, right below an enormous glass window.With a frown, the Duke asked, "Any news from Mage Tharin? The National Tournament of the Theocracy was yesterday, and he didn't send a message." Before any Minister could say they didn't get any, the window shattered, and an enormous creature landed on top of the table, with another knocking out the Mages with his enormous paws.
