Aftermath of the Battle

A short time later, M’hel stands before a raging fire.

“It is time for you to step into your true purpose, stand in the fire.”

Nunley suddenly regains his speech. In shock, he speaks out loud “Hell no!”

“My friend, I understand your fear, but remember six hours ago you were dead. Trust me.”

Back to the Forge

“At last!” Betta cries as he sees the forge with his eagle eyes in the distance.
He and Zyno have been slowly making their way to the forge for days. Betta is at the point of exhaustion from having to carry both Skymen’s weight; nut soon he will be able to rest.
As he surveys the mountain top, he sees Kobi and Ayepex talking with a few other Skymen. Without hesitation, he lets out a screech. The emergency signal of the Skymen.
At once, all the Skymen turn toward them, with Ayepex and another jumping into the air to meet them, The fresh Skymen relieve Betta of his load.
