Final Quest

Silently, Torai flies you and Alasse outside the forest, landing on a patch of wasteland near to the ruined city.

You look down at the pouch containing the stones of power, feeling a little drained. Now that you have the stones, what should you do?

As if reading your thoughts, Alasse says to you, "The Stones of Power are very powerful. Even one alone can strengthen the ability of the bearer far beyond most capabilities. The Stones are not good or evil of themselves, but they each carry traces of whoever their last master was."

"The guardians," you mumble, not wanting to think about that.

Alasse nods slowly. "Exactly," she says. "All five of these together combined have almost unlimited power."

Unable to keep quiet any longer, Torai bursts out, "Esther should not be carrying these stones! She is a traitor!"

"No, she isn't," a voice speaks up. "But *I* am."

As one, you all turn round.
