A year later...

Nosdyn and Xelldra were standing side by side.

It had been a long sojourn to the Tular Plains. It had been a long campaign, ever since he'd been rejected four different times by Ettermire. First, it was three different Dark Elves, and then N'Jal herself had rejected him. Poor guy. His eyes were narrowed as he looked at the Tular Plains. He had people at that time in his life, resources. He wasn't alone anymore. His son, Tharak also and his companion Lilly also stood by him.

"Gods it's hot here." Lilly said calmly.

Tharak nods. "Welcome to Haide." He said with a grin. "Father do you have any idea where we will head to?"

Nosdyn nods. "We are going to start our own village." The old demon explains. "We can't go back to any major settlements." He was laying down the rules, the precepts of demon society. "Boy State precept ONE." Nosdyn suddenly says as he looks at his son.

Tharak nods. And does so. They walk calmly towards the Tular Plains, Tharak states the precepts of their people to Nosdyn as they walk.

Nosdyn looks off to the side and sees the shade of his father watching them. He nods gently to that shade.

For Nosdyn, it had all come around full circle. Once, he'd been a lowly soldier trying to find his own way. Ettermire rejected the proud demon four times. He looks at his wife for a moment and kisses her deeply as they walk she smiles. He holds her hand. Once, he'd been a lowly soldier...now, returning home to the Tular Plains, he had his own house and his own Army.

His father watches Nosdyn as they walk then, he fades off into the sunset.

The group converses among themselves as they travel towards an ideal location to set up a village.

Nosdyn knew though, always. Somewhere in time, N'Jal schemed her revenge.

Nosdyn would be ready.

~The End.~
