CHAPTER 26: Solar Saga: The Magnus
After a day of camping on the summit of the mountain, finally the companions (now only five) found a way to attempt to destroy the evil that killed Travis in this region. Actually, that was a bit of a incorrect statement. The companions didn't find the evil, the evil found the companions. Because on the second day of trying, Sivrat-Gilles appeared again.
"You fools! I told you to leave. Hmph. Have my minions already killed off the others members of your group so that you have been forced to recruit another?" asked the tantalizing, snake-like voice of Sivrat-Gilles.
"Never!" shouted William and he charged headfirst. He was, incidentally, also blown back headfirst and lay in a corner, knocked out. Sivrat-Gilles hit Joan and Reinhard, and they too were motionless. Leaving only Hi-En and Zenon, Sivrat-Gilles tried to run. He was no fool, but perhaps Hi-En would be to quick to dodge his attacks and his reflections. He still tried to attack Zenon, though, and Zenon, caught off guard, was tortured into agony.
"That's for disobeying the master! That's for not dying when you should have! That's for-"
Sivrat-Gilles couldn't control his own power and was knocked out with the force of it. However, his master seemed to have appeared.
"Sivrat, failed so early? Sigh.... I will have to finish this. My name is Condyne."
"Condyne, you don't scare us!" taunted Zenon.
Condyne raised towo muskets and blasted Zenon and Hi-En so fast they couldn't react. Both crumpled. Condyne blew away the smoke, when suddenly he sensed a being more powerful than himself. Dressed in such elgeant white and gold robes... who was this?
It was the god-emperor, Maximillian.
With a single blast Maximillian issued from his hand, he hit Condyne (previously known for his insane speed-being so fast his movements couldn't be sensed by most humans) with a honing spell. It shot Condyne into the air, then obliterated him, possibly into pieces so small he would never be found. Having completed ths fight, Maximillian helped bring the five friends' unconscious forms over to Sarah and Philinus, who immediately began healing them.

Chapter 25
CHAPTER 25: Solar Saga: The Temple
The group, now reduced to seven, continue to head on climbing the mountain while reinforcements continue to fight and sitract enemies so the companions and head on. Tennin, however, is a person of extremely proud status, and so leaving the rest of the companions to continue their journey, Tennin jumps into the battle and pulls out his Buster Katana. Immediately he uses his special ability.
"Special Ability! ThunderStrike!" Tennin yells as he smashes a column of the enemy dead instantly.
The six head on, with Merlin and Zenon occasionally firing a spell or too and any aggressive beings. Reinhard is at the back of the group, occasionally stabbing at an enemy that saw them. Uriah led the front of the group, closely followed by William, Joan, and then Merlin and Zenon.
Five hours later, the Doom forces having been defeated, the tired companions rest, almost at the summit. The sun glows red in the sky signalling it would be giving way to the moon soon. Tennin apparently set up camp and the army was now immobile. Reinhard suddenly noticed a large structure on the summit of the mountain.
"What's that, guys?" asked Reinhard, referring to the structure.
"I don't know, but we should check it out." replied Uriah.
The six took up camp and began climbing again. Merlin, being old and frail, had to drop out, and Uriah escorted him back down the mountain to where Tennin was camping. The structure turned out to be a large temple, in which a man was completely clothed except for his eyes, which were closed, apparently in meditation.
"Hey! Hello? Who are you?!" yelled William to the stranger.
"Me? Would you know anyone named Hi-En?" replied a calm voice belonging to the stranger.
"Aren't you a ninja, one of the east?" asked Reinhard.
"Of course. Where else do ninja live?" replied Hi-En, now opening his eyes. "Look out!" shouted Hi-En, and it didn;t take much to realize why. A large oozing black and purple blob was heading their way, firing streams of acid melting through the floor of the temple. Hi-En through a shuriken, and Zenon amplified it's power to pierce. The shuriken went straight through the ooze and exploded it. It reformed and attacked again. Joan healed her allies while striking the beast, using her ability, Healing Strike. The beast, unable to stand all the holy power in the attack, was subdued and morphed into a patch of odd-looking dust. The heroes were safe, for now...
Somewhere else, the emperor Maximillian was worrying about one of his best fighters, William. The entire army had failed, and apparently no heroes had reported back yet. Maximillian decided to journey to Jaem Tuung, to find it in ruins. Nicolai and Sarah were both unconscious just outside the city gates, and many others were badly hurt. Jaem Tuung itself was still burning, although very soon there would be nothing left. A cursed fire of some type had burned everything, and Maximillian swore to avenge this act as he found the same brand Zenon did on the island...

Chapter 24
CHAPTER 24: Solar Saga: The Finding
After hearing the legend, Zenon's curiosity leads him deep into a forest, followed by Reinhard and Joan, who have also awoken. Zenon notices a temple and runs up to it.
"Whoa. This temple is insanely large!" exclaims Zenon.
"Yes... That's strange. There's no mark on the temple!" states Joan.
"I say, we should go back to tell the others." says Reinhard.
"Tell us what? Anyways, we're here, so whatever," grunts Uriah, carrying a heavy load of tents, sleeping bags, and supplies on his back. "Wait, what's that grotesque temple?"
"We're not sure, but I suggest we check it out." replies Reinhard.
The party of eight moved into the temple, not knowing that a relative of Travis was waiting...
"LEAVE THIS PLACE, OR DIE!" screeched the shrill voice of a masked stranger.
All eight pulled out weapons, and Travis, out of impulsiveness, attempted to impale the stranger.
"Travis... Good to see you... Remember me, Sivrat-Gilles? said the stranger.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the strange person reflected Travis' lance, impaling it upon Travis himself.
"Holy crap!" yelled William, and the seven remaining charged on Travis. All seven were blown back.
"Fools, leave me alone and you will be spared... I came only for Travis." And with that, Sivrat-Gilles vanished.
"Damn it!" cried Joan a moment after the battle ended. " I was really looking forward to beating the hell out of his face!"
"Travis is dead, and we need to continue on our journey here. We've gone this far; we can't stop now." murmured William.
"William is right, we need to continue to-" said Tennin before being interrupted by a large group of kobolds, goblins, orcs, and trolls.
Joan called for reinforcements, and another battle begun...
