Epilogue (part two)

Ceolwic packs his bags, loads his few things on the back of his Horrid Bear companion. He looks up to the slender towers of Sharn one last time, then turns his gaze east. "Time to go back home, little friend". He jumps on the beast, touches his own breast where long ago a locket rested "We won't let go".

Rat enters the luxurious office, the clerk does not raise his gaze from his paper-work, just addresses him "I understand you're interested in buying some property in Fallen" he begins, "which one exactly?". Rat drops the big stacks of Letters of Credit on the desk, startling the clerk "All of them" he says. The clerk lifts his gaze, astonished. Rat grins.

The scaly figure looks at himself in the silver mirror, holding the greatest of powers in its green oily hands, the power to make your wishes come true. "Come back" he says. "Come back, be who you really are". The scales fall away, pale skin can be seen, a slender figure, agile fingers instead of claws. Where once was a humanoid lizard, now is a female changeling. She smiles "Welcome back, Ibiki"

Elwyn paces the empty deck of the Golden Dragon at night, gazes at stars. Captain, Hero, Savior... is there anything else out there he can conquer? A crackling voice, like living flames, warms his right ear. "We made a promise to you, Captain". Zephyr winds flow into his left ear "We will show you places you've never seen." The mighty elementals roar, the Captain takes his place at the helm. The Golden Dragon soars high, higher than ever before. Into the starry sky.
