I stumble out of Vhalar’s portal into a world of light. The ground around the mound is covered in a thin layer of icy snow, and the morning sun catches every flake, making the countryside sparkle. My breath puffs in the chill air as I take it in. Everything glitters as far as I can see. It's the perfect last sight of a world I'm not ready to leave behind.

I duck into the shadows inside Iradil's tomb, and the stone covering seals behind me, casting me into total darkness. The seven shards in my chest shine from me like a beacon, lighting my way through the labyrinth.

The draugrs stir from their slumber and bow to me just as they had before. Do they sense I'm an agent of light, that I'm doing what I can to protect the sun shards for their Light Bearer's return? I don't know if the undead demonkin are even capable of higher thought, but I bow my head to them as I pass. They cross their swords across the tunnel behind me, my last line of defense. Just as they were the last defense between Lux, Iradil, and the armies of darkness.

Iradil's towering form is spookier in the light of the shards, but I can see why he was Lux's captain, her most trusted guard. I wonder what he was like and regret that I never got to ask Yaelyn and Reznik.

I sweep some cobwebs away from a stone altar and hoist myself up onto it.

And I wait for my death.

It’s the only way I know how to protect the stones. To die with them in this tomb, away from Khadyr and his devious plans.
