...!!!

Hmph…

At least you know how to use that axe.

*Gasp*…

I will surpass you…and I will do it my way!

*Huff*, *huff*, *huff...*

What kind of… demon… is he?!

Never have I felt such power coming from a single man…

It is no wonder why your name strikes fear into the heart of your own people.

Ah... Such is the limit of an inferior creature.

But it served its purpose.

I know what you’re planning, Thunderwall. And I must say I’m rather impressed.

Just as you’ve anticipated, the dragon needed the heat from the lava as an energy source for itself…

...weakening the barrier in the Tower of the Hierarch.

So, the High Inquisitor has outlived his usefulness to you...

...and you’ve decided it fitting for others to dispose of him in your stead.

So it’s true that the Inquisitor has conspired with the Overlord himself...but for what purpose?

What do you want from Ezra?!

To obtain the Power of the Ancients.

And for that purpose, he needed the blood of one who possesses it.

And that is why Ezra was taken…

But what is this power of the ancients?

That is something even I do not fully understand, and it is best this knowledge forever remain buried.

If you wish to know more, Allanon could tell you more.

This...this power... It’s Ezra!

But it’s full of darkness...pain, and anger…

Something terrible has happened to her!

Korzan, my son. So this is the path you have chosen.

To rely upon friendship, love, and trust?

I assure you, that you will find nothing but disappointment, betrayal, and pain at the end of the road.

You will see that I was right all along.

He’s heading towards the tower!

We must stop him!

It...hurts...help me…

Emperor, help us…

Are we too late?

No, she’s still holding on strong, but not for long.

Hold her down! We must make sure Allanon gets to us!

Only he can save her now!

Grrr... Don’t you dare give up on us, child!

Our fight isn’t over yet, we have a score to settle!

Stay strong Ezra... We’re coming for you!
