Arian slowly opened his eyes.
He was inside a dark stone chamber.
Cold chains held his arms against the wall.
Torchlight flickered across the room.
And standing in front of him was the dark sorcerer himself.
Malvyr.
The sorcerer's red eyes glowed in the darkness.
"So… you are the boy who found the map."
Arian stared at him angrily.
"You will never win."
Malvyr smiled calmly.
"Oh, I already have."
He held the glowing Forbidden Map in his hand.
Three pieces were already joined together.
"Thanks to your little adventure, finding the map became much easier."
Arian clenched his fists.
"You still don't have the final piece."
Malvyr's smile grew wider.
"Actually…"
He snapped his fingers.
Master Selorin walked into the chamber holding a small glowing crystal.
"The last piece," Malvyr said softly.
Selorin placed the crystal on the map.
Instantly, the final piece merged with the others.
The map began glowing brighter than ever before.
Golden light filled the entire chamber.
The complete Forbidden Map of Magic was now finished.
Malvyr looked at it with excitement.
"At last…"
"The path to the Abyss Gate."
He turned back to Arian.
"You have been very useful."
Arian glared at him.
"My friends will stop you."
Malvyr laughed.
"They are too late."
"The gate will open tonight."
Outside the fortress, the dark army was already marching toward the ancient location shown on the map.
The final battle for Eldoria was about to begin.
