[Solo] The Nosdyn Chronology Chapter 8.

[Nosdyn]

Meanwhile...

Tharak and Lilly waited patiently by other's side. They'd all suffered because of Xyllea...because of what she'd done to them. He had hadn't done much since the day they returned from the battle with Xyllea. The memory kept playing itself over and over in Tharak's mind. He looked at Lilly at that point. "There has not been any news yet...but I trust the master."

Lilly nodded quietly, she knew the boy suffered, he was worried about his father. "Have Faith." Lilly suddenly said.

Tharak nodded to her. "I'm just scared is all..."

A short time later...

Nosdyn and N'Jal stepped into their lab. "Boy. Do not be so sad. Our master has the power to control death itself." Nosdyn said to his boy truthfully.

Tharak heard it immediately, his father's voice...and ran to him. He embraced his father and began to cry. "Father...I am so sorry for what she has done to us..."

"It's okay boy...it's over Xyllea will be at peace now." Nosdyn said profoundly. "Your friend took care of you this whole time did she not?" Nosdyn asked of Lilly and Tharak.

Tharak nodded calmly he motioned for Lilly to approach them. "She's been by my side the whole time."

Nosdyn nodded, as the elder he'd encountered that time with Xyllea once said about him and Xyllea...Nosdyn spoke to his boy. "You two make a beautiful pairing. I am sorry to have worried you all." Nosdyn had a look of peace in his eyes. "Xyllea is gone." He said to them with a nod to N'Jal. "Let's all take some time off for ourselves...we've earned it."

Epilogue...

One year later...

Nosdyn had not been far off from the truth, the past often had a way of returning to haunt you.

Standing before the cavern was a forgotten soul...one who had gone missing for a very long time. He yelled the demon's name at that point he was working up the courage to do what needed doing. He needed their help. "Nosdyn, son of Tharak!" The man yelled. There was no malice or hatred in his call, there was a different sort of emotion in it...desperation.

A short time later Nosdyn and his Son did emerge from the cave. Nosdyn immediately recognized the man who he was looking at, and he saw a memory in his mind of the first time he met Lancaster. "...Llukai." Nosdyn did not have any hatred for the man, he always held a respect for him.

"Nosdyn, I need your help." He suddenly said. "I cannot do this thing on my own."

Nosdyn considered what he was hearing. He walked up to the man, unafraid. He placed his hand on Llukai's shoulder. "Llukai, I once swore to your father I would always help you in times of need. Let's go inside, before N'Jal we will discuss what is this thing you need help with." But somehow...Nosdyn already knew what was wrong. He guessed it had something to do with that rotting cancer in Ettermire's heart...

And he wouldn't have been terribly wrong either. They all went inside that night to discuss what needed to be discussed...
