  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.]
  
  > pretend nothing happened
  "Not your business, Commander!"
  
  Andrew turns around and leaves.
  
  You feel your last powers drained by the Orb as punishment for your desire to destroy it....
  
  "Bren.. we must do something quick! I feel the Orb taking over me!"
  
  " I can't help you with that..... I told you not to touch the Orb!" said Bren, acting as if it was your fault for all his crimes.
  
  "...and I also need help to turn the townsfolk back alive!" you utter.
  
  " Well... that I can do... Not all my powers come from the Orb, and I'm a very skilled Necromancer...." answers Bren, with a slight smile.
  
  " Good... Save the men , and I will help you leave this place! "
  
  Bren departs. You walk back uphill to see if there are any nearby threats. You reach the top after a few minutes, and look down. You see Bren in the village casting a spell on each zombie and turning them back to normal, and also see Andrew and his men packing and boarding their ships. You call for Bren when he finishes.
  
  "Yes, Danny?"
  
  " If I use the Orb now, this entire island will be wiped out....Please, teleport me to the beach!"
  
  Bren casts a spell and teleports you near the ships.
  
  "Commander Ice!"
  
  'Yes?"
  
  "I just noticed , half of your army is gone, why waste so much space on your ships?"
  
  "What do you mean?" asks Andrew, trying to understand what you want.
  
  " Leave a ship here, and I promise you'll have a clear way and good wind until you reach the shores of the Federation!'
  
  " Hmmmm.....Fine! Men, leave one ship here!" said Andrew. For some reason you believe he didn't really wanted it.
  
  Andrew's forces quickly abandon one ship. The Federation fleet leaves. You stay on the shore until the last of the ships is lost in the horizon. Surely, you can't guarantee "good wind", but hey, who can?
  
  Bren teleports near you.
  
  "Thanks, Danny. Now, If there is anything I can do for you with the Orb...."
  
  "Leave me a salvage boat. Take the ship and sail away. If I manage to destroy the Orb before it takes over me, at least I will have a chance to go.... If not, ....."
  
  "Are you sure?"
  
  "Yes!".
  
  Bren leaves you. You turn around and walk towards the hill. When you reach the top, you see the villagers packing and leaving the village. You shout out loud;
  
  "Heeeey, why are you leaving"?
  
  "We're sorry Danny, but you surely realized that the Commander will return! We cannot risk making more bloodshed! This will be our doom if we don't leave now! This is , after all, the Land of Peace, and believe us, it's not just a name!" respond the villagers.
  
  You realize they are right. Andrew WILL return and take revenge on you and Bren... but with Bren sailing away and you probably long-dead because of the Orb, his plan will fail before the start. You wait until all villagers boarded Bren's ship and begin thinking how are you supposed to get rid of the Orb. A terrible headache starts. You try to ignore it, but soon, your entire body falls victim to the Orb. The pain is still bearable, but does not cease. As the sun sets and Bren's ship becomes a small tiny dot in the distance, you feel you can't take it anymore. You feel your soul being consumed, and your chest is ready to explode, while you roll all over the ground. You scream like a demented maniac , as you feel your will removed and replaced with the dark goal of the Orb's former users. You faint because of the pain.
  
  Three days later, you wake up. The sun is up and the breeze is refreshing.
  
  "Am I in the Heavens?" you ask yourself , as you try to remember what happened. You have flashes of memory from the moment you fainted... Apparently, you fell on your knees and screamed one last time, draining your voice. Your nose started bleeding and your head became a mined field where every thought was bringing you huge pains. Unable to bear the pain, you simply threw the Orb... and it smashed , creating a shockwave that threw you off the hill.You look up, and see the top of the hill deforested. Something happened there, indeed, and you have dried blood all over your face, proof that it was all real.
  
  Having saved yourself from the Orb's will, you remember Bren left you a boat. You pack some berries and go on sea with them.
  
  So long, Altheria, land of Eternal Peace, now a deserted ghost-island. Thanks very much, Bren......
  
  After almost a day of sailing, you still see Altheria behind you... and you also see a Federation fleet hastily approaching it. They will have a big surprise when they will find the island empty. You laugh and swallow a berry, while the wind carries your small boat north, on Bren's trail.
