Zalbag and Verge rode their steeds at break neck speed after Mortesium. They lost sight of him when
 the reached a clearing "Damn!" Zalbag muttered he looked at Verge "Watch yourself cousin, he could
 be anywhere.". The mute nodded and drew his falchion. Zalbag dismounted and drew his bastard sword
 and looked around. He heard a flutter and turned around to see a gauntleted fist come rushing at
 his face. Mortesium stood there his sword sticking from Verge's back, giving it a yank he walked
 slowly over to Zalbag "Come to kill me have you? Father, I would think you would know better.".
 Zalbag jumped to his feet and rushed forward swinging with all his might at Mortesium's chest.
 Mortesium parred and brought his sword down near Zalbag's spine, with a quick turn and a swing of
 his sword Zalbag slammed it aginst Mortesium's helm making him loose his balance and collapse.
Zalbag stood over him and held his sword at his throat "Im sorry my son, perhaps you can have the
 peace in death you never had in life." Mortesium's helm had fallen off by now and a deep cut could
 be seen across his face "If you kill me father, you will never forgive yourself....." Zalbag
 nodded slowly a tear dripping from his eye "Your right, but the world will forgive me for making
 an evil like you." with those words his sword came down on Mortesium's skull killing him
 instantly. Zalbag limped over to Verge "Im sorry I brought you in this cousin, but now you are
 finally free." Verge smiled at Zalbag and mouthed 'I will miss you cousin.' then his last breath
 expired.
When he returned to the castle and walked up to Sarah's room he removed all his armor and threw it
 in a closet, lastly taking his sword from his belt he looked at it, Sarah walked up and hugged him
 and Zalbag swore "My sword has taken its last life, the battle is over for me......Forever......".
 He threw it down and looked out the window wondering if he had done the right thing.
