((The Shrine is one of many hidden shrines around Weissland, accessible only by those true believes in Aracen. It has the inner appearance of a cave with many jewels and diamonds in the walls.)) Kelan was the last monk to appear, flashing into the shrine in a dazzling brilliance. The body of Peloron was already being tended to by two other monks, so Kelan walked over to where the mage was lying and asked the woman working on him, "How is he?" "The magic knocked him unconscious, but we can revive him when you wish to speak with him," said the woman. "Wake him," said Kelan. The woman nodded and held her hands over the mage's face. White energy streamed from her hands and the mage opened his eyes. |

Nathaniel Drakkon opened his eyes with a start. He looked around, seeing the monks from the pass of Kuren, and the rearguard. He tried to speak "Wha--" His throat was very dry, and it came out like a raspy growl. He cleared his throat and said "Where am I?" |

"Nyla, get this man some water," said Kelan. The woman nodded and moved off to get some water for the mage. "You are in a shrine of Aracen." |

Nathaniel sat up slightly and said "A shrine of Aracen? What about the battle? Was the rearguard overcome?" |

"The rearguard was destroyed," said Kelan. Nyla brought the water over and gave it to the mage. "I am Kelan Wealer, the head of the Monks of Aracen." |

Nathaniel drank the water slowly, a few sips at a time. He said simply "Nathaniel Drakkon." |

"Drakkon," said Kelan. "That is a noble name. Why are you serving as a mere mage?" |

Nathaniel replied coldly "There is nothing mere about serving Weissland as a mage." |

"You should have taken up your title instead of forsaking it for a life of wandering," said Kelan. "But that is neither here nor there. It matters little given current events. The army retreats to Asulien, does it not? And the Lord Castoden leaves the army to head south to try to barter with Drathmor to end the war and save the lives of its people." |

Nathaniel replied darkly "Forsaken? You know nothing. I walk the forsaken path, and I walk it for Weissland. I've dealt with enough seers to know that you don't know what you are talking about. Officially taking my title as lord of the Drakkon estate would not change anything, I would still be a mage, it is what I am, fool." He turned away, looking around the room. Finally he said "What the hell do you mean Lord Castoden has left the army?" |

Kelan laughed. "Fool? Indeed it may seem that way. But again, that is neither here nor there. The Lord Castoden believed it best to try to reason with Drathmor, to perhaps offer himself in return for the end of the war and the salvation of Weissland. An incorrect assumption on his part, but noble intentions nonetheless." |

Nathaniel scoffed "Noble, I think not. He's being arrogant and selfish, he seems to be good at that. Mordain told him that he was the only one who could kill Drathmor, now he is dooming the entire world. The undead cannot be bargained with, only destroyed." He asked "Where are the others? Borsun and Tmar, any others you teleported." |

"Selfish?" asked Kelan, his eyes going wide. "Selfish? You call a man who goes to sacrifice himself for the lives of millions selfish?" Kelan shook his head. "Do not mistake ignorance for selfishness." |

Nathaniel replied "He is selfish. Perhaps it is ignorance as well, but he is not doing this for the good of the world. He has a bloody death-wish. I saw it at the pass of Kuren, and you were there, you cannot deny it. He was willing to die there, to let his knights die there out of some foolish pride. Mordain told him his role in all this during the march near Ledek, he's known that he had a job to do for days. Mordain warned him that Drathmor would not hesitate to kill him and still he has gone and done this. Nobody could hold such a high position of power and possible be that ignorant and naive." Nathaniel glared "Now answer my question." |

"What do you mean there were no others? They still could have been recovered. Borsun was a mage lord, one of the few we have left!" Nathaniel growled. |

Nathaniel said "Damn. Damn this war. Tmar was just a boy, and Borsun was one of the best Weissland had." |
