Released Oct 17 2001 by Marz, Land, Geraci, and team
We open with Mordath on his throne looking less han impressed that Arwyn and Gareth got away. Bohr, the head troll, goes on to recap how the prisoners had somehow gotten out of their chains, probably with a key and slew a number of the trolls, ran through the castle and were trapped, then a bright light appeared and a lady appeared(NEVEN) and spirited them away. Mordath vows that he will get Arwyn as she is a survivor, a survivor with attitude(YEAH!) that is defying him. Bohr is told to use all the resourses he has to get her...or he will pay!.
We then pop over to the ruins of Orelyn Castle, where Neven had transported our duo. Arwyn confronts Neven asking WHY she saved them. Neven explains she wants to see Mordath opposed, but that her role is to orchestrate, not participate. Gareth is just happy to be safe and wants to run. Arwyn isn't immpressed. Why didn't Neven do something BEFORE Mordath took over the 5 lands? She won't be someones pawn, she will take Mordath out herself.
Neven them goes on to explain how Mordath was resurrected. We can tell from her perspective that she was one of the 2 cloaked figures there int he tomb on that fateful day. We see Mordath get the sigil, but that due to his utterly evil nature he perverted the balance of the sigil and it went all red. He was brought back to life, the same man, but bitterly changed and infinately more dangerous. Neven ponders how the in the very walls of the tomb held the key to his destruction. she i looking at an enscritpion of what looks like Ayden on his horse, however being sceptical, it could possibly be Arwyn, the picture is vague enough, but I digress :)
Gareth muses over the fact he is surrounded by 2 crazy women, and that they are lucky to be alive and that they should just get the heck out of there. Arwyn won't run. She calls Kreeg to come and she prepares to leave, but Kreeg is standing by a wrapped up package and won't leave. Neven unwraps it to show it is Ayden's bow, which she gives to Arwyn. Then we see lights in the forest and the trolls are back!!!
