Epologue

As the this tale of Talon concludes, another one begins...

The mid-afternoon sun beat down on the hilltop overlooking Valor Forest.  The Dark Sorcerer stood over the lifeless corpse of his hired associate next to a broken tree.  He shook his hooded head slowly with a devious smile.

"I bet you begged your enemies to kill you in order to save your body from horrible things that you could imagine I would do." The sinister spoke to the bloodied corpse.  "Who says there has to be life in this body for me to put it to use?  Of course, you have been a hired hand of mine for a while now for some pretty nasty jobs, so it will take a great deal of my imagination to come up with a terrifying fate that you HAVEN'T seen for your flesh...oh, but I'm sure I can think of something.  Yes, we'll have fun, you and I...my bull headed friend!"

-----

Far from the hilltop on the road towards Pelmridge Willard struggled to stay conscious as his body dripped blood from his many injuries.  He could feel himself fading as he continued on the path.  Not far from where Willard collapsed on the dirt road, another traveler's attention was caught.  She spoke to her companions.

"I think we need to go towards Pelmridge...I sense that somebody needs our help, like right now!"
