I stand under the tree. The multicolored leaves are so colorful this time of year. In the winter the colors are faded, but in the summer the leaves are bright and vibrant.

"We have only got two more stops before this is over," Kala tells us.

"I'm going to miss this. Adventuring between the realms," Faye says.

Today we're looking for the weapons that are infused with dark magic. Hopefully, it goes better than last time. Kala enters the cave. I hear heavy breathing deep in the cave. We ready our weapons. I approach the source of the sound. It's a humanoid figure with dark grey skin and spikes along its back. It stares at us with glowing red eyes.

"It's a Cavedweller," Kala whispers.

"The name is a bit ridiculous," I say.

"Well, I didn't name it! It's extremely hostile when approached," Kala says.

"We have to approach it," Faye says.

Kala shoots an arrow at it. The arrow hits the creature in the shoulder. It charges at me. I strike it in the chest with my staff. It holds its chest. The creature is having an incredibly hard time breathing now. Faye delivers the fatal blow by stabbing it through the heart.

At the end of the cave is a spear made of wood. A black crystal is notched into the wood. Faye picks it up. She tries her hardest to snap it in half. She fails miserably.

"I thought you were supposed to be a strong warrior," Kala says.

"Oh shut up! Do you want to try this?" Faye snaps at her. I take the spear.

"Watch how it's done," I say.

I focus all my energy on destroying it. Magic flows out of my fingers and into the weapon. The spear crumbles in my hands.

"You don't have to be such a showoff," Faye grumbles.

"Come on, we got one stop left," Kala says obviously annoyed at the both of us. We head to the elven realm.

Faye looks over the map. She turns left.
She leads us through the forest. A cave with vines and roots entwined around the opening is our last stop. Faye goes in first then me then Kala.
A sword is hung on the wall. I perform the same spell I did on the spear. We head back to the human realm.

I stand in front of my cottage. I can't believe I'm leaving it behind. So many memories were made here. Now that I have the palace there is no reason to stay here. I fly to Solius.

I take one last look at the mountain. I'll miss living there, but I need to move on. This realm needs me. Solius needs me. I land outside the city. I make my way to the castle on horseback. The others meet me outside. I look around. The city gains more residents and visitors each day. It now has a popular marketplace and trading center. It's much more prosperous than it was years ago. I can see myself living a nice, quiet life here.

Faye, Kala, and Lily are staying here with me. They will check in on their realms of course. I'm glad they decided to reside here.

Faye and Kala stand next to me. We all watch the setting sun. The three of us have protected the realms. We have succeeded in our mission.
