text: With all the townsfolk transformed into mindless zombies and a large fleet of invaders approaching, Danny chose to help Bren.
  
  Despite the rush, Bren had a plan.....
  
  " Look, you will go and make them follow you to the village. Once they are regrouped there, I'll use my powers to blast them to pieces. Then I'll make everyone back and use the ships to leave. Just don't get yourself killed!"
  
  "Fine!" said Danny, clearly demoralzied, then he turned around, walking towards the shore. Bren took his army and left for the safety of the forest.
  
  Danny climbed a cliff near the place where Andrew would anchor the ships.
  
  In less than two minutes, the entire fleet was at the shore. Almost six hundred warriors were boarded. They started getting out one by one. When Andrew came out, Danny showed himself, on the cliff.
  
  "Hey! Hey you! You're Commander Ice?" asked Danny.
  
  " In flesh and bones!" responded Ice. "Who are you? Friend of Bren?"
  
  " Why, you need him? "
  
  "You don't even want to know what he did to my homeland, sir!" answered Andrew
  
  " I heard he's good at ruining homelands." said Danny sarcastically.
  
  " Look, if you know where he is, lead me to him and I'll cover you in gold!"
  
  " Fine. Go down the road. The village is just a mile away. He's waiting for you there!"
  
  " Many thanks, stranger!" answered Andrew. "Move out , men! Split into six groups! One remains on the ships, one on the shore, one searches the forest, two come with me, and another one will be commanded by Sergeant Klapp, to search wherever they wish!"
  
  "Yes, milord!" answered the guards, following the orders.
  
  Danny walked to the forest, to tell Bren that he upheld his end of the bargain.
  
  After a few minutes, Danny found Bren in the cave he used as a playground when they were young.
  
  " Bren! They are marching to the village, but one group will search the forest. "
  
  " Tricky bastard, he thought of everything!" grumbled Bren. "His only mistake so far was coming after me.... This time, he's on my territory!"
  
  "Let's get this over with!" uttered Danny, wishing he was one of the zombified villagers.
  
  The two left the cave. They followed an old road, a shortcut to the village. When they reached it, Andrew's army could be heard marching in the vicinity.Bren ordered his zombies to hide in the houses of the village, and told Danny to go on a nearby hill and monitor all enemy activity.
  
  Danny left. He walked uphill. Once he reached the top, he saw that Bren's plan had a high change to fail. The forest group was heading directly towards Bren, Andrew's two regiments were just around the corner, and another small group of scouts was already hiding in the bushes near the village, watching Bren's movements!
  
  [Note: One of the following ends the game]
  
  > watch the battle from your hideout.
  Although worried, you stay in your hideout and watch as your friend is surrounded from all sides, unaware of the danger. Suddenly, Commander Ice orders the attack, but you notice he runs away as fast as he can once his men charge.
  
  You also notice that Bren continues playing with his orb, without caring that there is no obstacle between his enemies and him. Then, Bren casts a powerful, devastating spell. A beam of energy strikes the village center from the sky and incinerates in seconds half of the enemy's troops. Even from up there, you can feel the heat .
  
  When the beam disappears, you see half of the army transformed into ash and taken away by a calm breeze. Then, Bren orders an attack, and all the zombies come out of the houses and attack. In seconds, Andrew's army is finished. Only few escape to report. Bren casts another spell and disappears.
  
  Worried, you now wonder where the hell is he.... when a hand reaches your shoulder.
  
  " You could have warned me that I'm surrounded, you know. But anyway, I used the Devastation Beam at it's best!" said Bren.
  
  "Crap, you scared me! Anyway, I've seen Andrew running away after ordering the attack. Look, he's just at the base of the hill!"
  
  "Niiiiiice!" says Bren, smiling. He then teleports away, and you see him appearing in front of Andrew. You can barely hear their voices, so you get out of the hideout and slowly come downhill.
  
  "You will pay dearly for destroying Empyria! Surrender now, or face the wrath of the true leader of the Western Federation!"
  
  " You're on my land now, Commander! Your reign is over!"
  
  "You just signed your execution, traitor!"
  
  Andrew charges with his sword at Bren. Bren steps back and takes a dagger in each hand, leaving the Orb on the ground.
  
  Andrew's rage is quickly over, as exhaustion reaches him. Each of his hits was parried by Bren's daggers.
  
  "You're too old, Andrew! Face it!"
  
  " Never!" shouts Andrew, taking off his helm. Indeed, he was old, about 60. Strange, back on the shore , his voice seemed like a younger man's voice.
  
  After Bren dodges a few more hits, Andrew falls on his knees, completely drained.
  
  " Any last words, Commander?"
  
  " You damned Empyria! You damned the entire Federation! "
  
  " And you broke your own rules only to hunt me! Who's the bad one now? Half of your Federation wants you imprisoned for being the first of your bloodline to dishonor the laws! Yes, I brought chaos to your realm, but I never broke your laws! Now you're on my ground... and there are no laws in here!"
  
  " Nice speech! Can I kill you now?" asked Andrew.... and now he seemed even older, his skin was almost falling from his bones.
  
  " You were never able to kill me! And with every passing second, your chances to do so diminish!"
  
  " Then let me die with a weapon in..."
  
  "In your hand?" asked Bren
  
  " IN YOUR HEART! WAAAA!" Andrew charges with his last powers and impales Bren. Bren doesn't have time to do anything else than stab Andrew. They both fall on the ground, bleeding. Andrew dies on the spot.
  
  You rush to save him, as half of Andrew's army is still on the island.
  
  "Bren! Bren, don't die now! Don't leave me alone against that army!"
  
  "Too...late.... The Orb....."
  
  " The Orb? What can I do with it?" you ask , reaching for the Orb.
  
  " Don't touch... Orb!" says Bren.
  
  Too late. It's already in your arms.... and all the memories of it's former users are infused in your head, together with all their hate..... and powers.
  
  Now, with newfound powers and knowledge about magic from former dark wizards, it's your time to act!
  
  [Note: one of the below is a dead end]
  
  > use a powerful ressurection spell, with the risk to revive Andrew too.
  You hold the Orb in one hand and chant an ancient spell from the memories of a former owner.
  
  The clouds gather above you quickly and a red lighting strikes the orb, then forks over to both Bren and Andrew.
  
  Andrew is young again... but now you know why. Back in Empyria, Bren put a curse on him, to age one year for every few seconds when Bren is nearby. How could Bren be so evil? Never mind, the curse should have worn off anyway.....
  
  " Thanks, Danny.... " says Bren, trying to smile, but still unhappy about you touching the Orb. Now he's powerless, so don't blame him.
  
  " You... Who are you?" asks Andrew, horrified
  
  " I am Danny Blaze, and if you want to live, you'd better take your army and leave our lands!"
  
  " Funny you say that, Sir Danny! The Orb is now devoid of all powers! You can't kill me now!" laughs Andrew. Indeed, you feel the Orb drained to the last bit.... Curse you, Bren!
  
  ' Still, we're two against one, and I now control a zombie army on it's way here!" you say, finding the zombie army with the power of your mind.
  
  " Grrr... You'll pay for this! Both of you will pay for this!" shouted Andrew.
  
  " Danny, wait! If he leaves, I'll never be able to get out of this island!" said Bren. Damn, he was right.....
  
  " Good, now I know you'll never leave us again to cause mischief in another empire!" you say. "And once Andrew is out of here, the Orb will become history again!"
  
  " Wait, you don't mean you would...."
  
  " Yes, Bren, the Orb must be destroyed!"
  
  In that moment, you feel an excruciating pain in your whole body and you feel you can no longer control yourself. The Orb got control of you, feeling what you just said about it....
  
  "No! Orb... must .... stay!" you cry, with a demonic voice. Andrew hears you and turns around.
  
  " What kind of sorcery is this?" he asks, confused
  
  In that moment, you feel for a few seconds you have control again over your body.
  
  [ Note: of the the below is a dead end.]
  
  > kill Andrew
  You rise, and, filled with anger, you cast a spell at Andrew. Unfortunately, you don't see whether it hits or not, because you feel your inner self drained of everything. Your memory becomes blank as soon as you finish the spell and you implode, exterminating everything on a five mile radius. It seems you forced the Orb too much...
