The 3 Brothers were almost gone and the 3 gelfling were getting tired, they had been listening to the Heretic and the Wanderer all afternoon. They had finished their Puppet show and now continued to perform yet another Opera until the three sisters began to climb into the sky. Heretic was adament this must be done to aid them on their quest saying " iF wE Do nOt cOnTinUe tHe OpEra iNtO tHe NiGhT yOuR cHaNcEs oF fiNdiNG tHe dUaL gLaVe wiLl bE sLiM...

" It's ok Hup we can rest and stay the night, you must eat and regain your strength we will travel to the caves of Grot and the forest of Stone in the Wood as soon as the first Brother rises! " said Deet. " I Agree " said a deep voice that no one recognised. The Heretic and Wanderer stopped dancing and singing and turned to look behind them. " Archer! " gasped urGo. The large and tired Mystic waddled into the circle of the suns from behind a dark curtain " hOw LonG HaVe YoU bEen ThEre!? aNd HoW dId yOu GeT HerE!? " shouted Heretic. " Greetings Gelfling". said The Archer. Surprised, the group all stood up. " Another Mystic! " said Brea.

" My name is urVah I have been sent by Mother Aughra to be your Guardian, you are all in grave danger. My evil half The Hunter will soon track you here. " " Hup is great Paladin, no more Guardian needed! " shouted Hup. " I admire your courage Podling " said urVah. Rian looked anxious " I will help you fight the Hunter! " he suggested. " No! nO!

" Rian of Stone in the Wood it is an honor, but I must face the Hunter that is my path. " stated urVah. " yOuR NobLE sLaVe FriEnD CaN aSsIst urVah " said Heretic.

" Paladin Hup help protect friends with Archer" shouted Hup moving to stand next to the Mystic and withdrawing his Spoon. " But Hup you are tired and have been unwell on the journey here " said Deet. " I could use some help, you may be of great use to me podling, we must move swiftly The Hunter could be here any moment." said urVah. " Wait! " said Brea. " Heretic we must wake Lore he can assist Hup and urVah ". " VeRy wELL LoRe, yOu HeArD tHe PrInCeSs wAkE uP yOu LaZy piLe Of RoCks ". The Heretic kicked the glowing stone in Lore's head.

The dust from the floor began to move and swirl around the rocks, and soon enough the rocks lifted into the air to form Lore once again. Lore walked over to Brea and hugged her immediately then he straightned up and plodded over to join urVah and Hup. "Excited! " shouted Hup. " See you again soon my good friend " Deet said to Hup." See you Lady Deet " he answered. Rian stepped forward to say good bye to Hup " Take care my friend. " Rian said to Hup. " you are safe, friend " replied Hup. " I DuB yOu tHe GuArDiAnS Of ThE ReSiStAnce haAHHAHaha " shouted the Heretic excitedly. " Guardiiians...you...must...gooo...quuuickly " added urGo. Heretic turned to face urGo while he spoke " tHe SoOnEr You StOp TalKinG tHe QuIcKeR tHeY cAn Leave" demanded Heretic. The Archer detatched a string from the top of his staff and tied it to the end to form a Long Bow. "Come my new friends, We must end the Hunt ".
