Ptolemy was still in bird form chasing the gnome that stole the crystal they came for. Agar had taken pursuit of the gnome that Ptolemy followed. When Sarella was trapped in the cavern between the two orange crystals, Agar tried to defend her but was whipped by one of the carrion crawlers into a tunnel he couldn’t climb up from. Agar then decided to remain in pursuit of the thieving gnome. Shortly after, Ptolemy caught up to him, but Agar did not recognize the bird as the young boy. It was dark and he thought it was Rigel’s bird flying behind him. Agar couldn’t see clearly in the dark but well enough to continue down the unlit path chasing the gnome at a decent pace.

Frendel, the thieving gnome that used to have bright green eyes, went down the wrong path and met a dead end. Panic-stricken, he reached down and blew into small whistle from his pocket. The sound carried through the tunnel like a soft song from a sparrow. Agar and Ptolemy stopped. Ptolemy decided to change back into his human form and it surprised Agar when he did.

They approached Frendel and demanded, “Give us the crystal back. We need it. You either give it to us freely, or we will take it from you by force; we are not leaving without it.”

Frendel laughed and replied, “You will not leave at all.” He stared at them with his crimson red eyes and he let out a demonic chuckle. Ptolemy thought to himself, Not again. He had faced many demons over the past few months, both good and bad, and he was getting quite tired of them. Ptolemy attacked Frendel with his bare hands. He grabbed the gnome by the throat with both hands and squeezed. Frendel continued to laugh between breaths. Then his body became hot to the touch. Ptolemy held tight until the gnome burst into flames. The voice of Lord Emalf came out of the gnome’s mouth, “I told you, you will not leave at all.”

Ptolemy braced himself and told Agar to take cover, but it was too late. The flames around Frendel’s body grew hotter and became blinding white bright. Ptolemy covered his eyes and waited for the explosion to burn him alive.

Thoughts rushed through Ptolemy’s head as his life flashed before him. He remembered the night he ran away, the demons that attacked him in the woods, the ritual they performed to turn him into a demon, the sadistic laughs, battles against humans, Sherson’s sacrifice, the attack on the Plateau, and falling. His thoughts kept going back to the Plateau after dancing around in his head. Somehow he was able to slow the images down as he relived the experiences. He remembered having a sharp pain in his back when he was watching the battle in the Great Plains from the Plateau. His thoughts bounced around and came back. He wanted to see more and he struggled to stay focused on the Plateau incident. When he turned around he saw his mother’s face.
