On the next morning, the Sons bid farewell to Gandolfo the Magnificent and proceeded towards Agatha's hut.
Late afternoon, they exited the fey forest and found themselves at the lake. They soon realized that this was the Dragon Lake near Lochhurst, or rather the equivalent. There was a much quicker way back to the portal.
As they pondered on how to cross the lake, they were attacked by two wyverns, which they dispatched without too much trouble.
Day 199 (1st cycle of autumn, 11th day)
At night, six werewolves surprised the Sons. While the fight was short, it was brutal.
In the morning, Nevron realized that it is always a full moon in the Faerie, and that he better get the cursed removed, just in case the many bites he had sustained had infected him.
The Sons made a raft and sailed out on the lake. They had only been sailing for about 15 minutes, when another wyvern caught up with them. Nevron jumped in the water to hide from it, but the other two decided to stay on the raft. They both went in when the wyvern crash-landed on the wooden raft. While Aran was drowning and Nevron trying to save him, Urgyx managed to finish off the foul beast.
Towards evening, they got to the island.
They explored a bit, and found the hut. It turned out to be empty, but the doorframe was portal to another place. They ended up in some connected corridors filled with webbing, magical suggestions and fog they couldn't see through. There Agatha ambushed them. The fight was long and hard, and for a long time, it looked as if things were going to go against the Sons. Only through luck and tenacity did the Sons turn the tide when Nevron managed to pin her down via a wall of force, so that the two others could take her down. It was still a very close thing, but in the end, she died. As she did so, the magical fog and web disappeared. All they were left with was her parting words (when she thought she was winning) and the fact that Nevron seems to find the name Metrova familiar.
You Sons of the Phoenix are persistent. Although this is as far as you go. You will die in a few moments, and you will die knowing that you were too late. The Orb is now with my masters and they have all necessary information on our tests. Do not worry. The plague will not spread from Ironville, so only the children there will die. Once they are dead, just one more test remains, before the full force of the Dark Trio is unleashed on these realms. And while Metrova conducts his experiment, you will be watching from the Underworld.
