A public letter by Sir Nafets

Senators of Andris and former General of Marali had been evacuated to Mirith. This letter told about a slice of their life in Mirith, Zexe's condition getting better, and Darkstar's serious condition. She had been a patient in a coma, and talked in her delirium. To make matters worse, "Darkstar's hands were covered with huge, black spots." This was a proof that Black Magic had already begun to erode her soul.

The deal founded on the sacrifice of Marali

Marali was overwhelmed by the Black Hand. Now Alliance occupied all over Marali. The public of Marali had no other choice but deserted their city.

Elefin became one of the most powerful wizards in Oberin since the Blood Dagger had fallen into her hand. Her enormous power also posed a great threat to the Twins while she led the Black Hand. Rasha and Varsha appeared in front of adventurers who were ravaged by a long battle against Alliance. Rasha said that Elefin was currently a common target between the Twins and Mirith, so...

(Rasha): We know you have that box that is supposed to kill our enemy.
(Rasha): And we know how to bring the enemy to Mirith.
(Rasha): Only...
(Rasha): If we help you, you leave Marali alone.
(Rasha): Do you want our help or do you want to die here?

It was Darkstar who acted as a bridge between the Twins and Mirith. She also urged Mirith to call upon Seth for help. His art was needed with the Golden Box to deactivate the Blood Dagger.

Elefin Came to Mirith. Darkstar succeeded to steal the Blood Dagger from her, however, the cursed power of the dagger made Darkster lose her senses for a moment. She stubbed herself. With Seth's help the dagger was set in the Golden Box from Drakstar's chest, and Elefin was no longer given power from the Blood Dagger. She was killed.

Zexe's soul was releaved out of the Blood Dagger, and he returned to the world. The Golden Box was placed under the custody of Brigobean.

Vision of Aborek, and discovered Golden Box

Adventurers were enveloped in the visions again.

Arlis had been obsessed with Ayara's grudge. He found a small camp having two female travellers near Marali. The two welcomed him kindly, however, this led up to give Ayara a suitable body. Ayara arose. Arlis was now all washed-up for her. She killed him, and got the Golden Box.

There showed up Aborek. He needed the Golden Box, and approached her to form a partnership that would offer her to lead a rising city. Ayara expressed an interest in the offer.

The visions carried adventurers into the ruins. They saw Centaurs dying on their way to the innermost. When they arrived to the portal, the two partners were in the process of creating a Blood Dagger. The portal was created by Aborek himself. He was planning to steal Marali's Moon Curio, and the portal was supposed to lead the two into the Marali vault.

In the course of time, a Holy Dagger set on the Golden Box turned into the Blood Dagger. Ayara picked up the dagger, then stabbed Aborek to death.

After the visions faded away, adventurers found real Golden Box. It was entrusted to the care of Nafets.

Found Magic Rune covered with blood

Nafets asked for people to research Blood Dagger. As it seemed the Blood Dagger had been found in Aborek in the first place, the adventurers headed for the ruins to start with.

Aborek showed them extraordinary spectacles; a corpse of Red Dragon, a Forest Dragon killed by a Black Dragon, murdered Centaurs, slained Black Dragon, and a powerful mage in ethereal form trying to create a Blood Dagger..

They burst through the visions, then found a chest that contained a Magic Rune covered with blood.

Adventurers left the Blood Rune with Nafets. In his point of view, to know how to make it should as well tell how to break it. Nafets went to Beleth to benefit from his expertise.

Ghost of Zexe, and the Blood Dagger

In the middle of Zexe's funeral ceremony at the cemetery of Mirith, Zexe himself appeared as a ghost screaming in pain; (Zexe): THE DAGGEEEEEEEER. The ceremony was discontinued. Returning to the castle, Beleth found an ancient book saying that all the souls contained inside the Blood Dagger are destroyed with its own destruction. The King demanded the dagger to save Zexe. Officials of Mirith decided to go to Seth for help.

Elefin unmasked

Under an imitative deception to escape the pursuing eyes of Andris, Mirith transferred Zexe to Centaurs' cave to get their help for his cure. In the cave, at the very moment where an Elder Centaur started chanting for Zexe, Elefin interrupted it, and revealed true identity of herself. She was Yadeth's wife having awaited her chance for revenge. She brought Blood Dagger with her. Elder Centaur and Zexe were stabbed with the Blood Dagger in Elefin's hand. Centaur's blood made the dagger generate great magical power, and Zexe's soul was captured into the dagger. Elefin disappeared with the dagger.
