Corpses... Only corpses near the first cache. He visited here. How did he find the relics, how did he find out where they were hidden ?! How did one of the few, but rather strong warriors interrupt? The ring... The ring of Sar-Issa disappeared! However, nothing is lost yet. I'll find you, you scoundrel, I'll find and get back the artifact. Even if you swallowed the ring, I'll rip it out of your belly with your bare hands!
"Greetings, necromancer. Zoltan, I suppose? Is not this what you're looking for?"
On the road appeared a man with a small detachment of some monsters and animated statues. On his arm was a ring - he showed it to me and grinned.
"With whom do I have the honor, my dear? By what right have you invaded my domain and committed theft? Return the ring before it's too late."
He only grinned:
"And you take it from me. By the way, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maahir. What, we'll start the fight? Or will you first let my army play with your own? Hey, to battle!"
Maakhir... So this is Maakhir? This insignificant mortal ?! It seems to be the same scoundrel from my vision, the murderer Belket, but have mercy, what is dangerous in it? No, First in the Circle, you just think! The usual jawbone, which is enough among atheists. Oh Belket, you vainly warned me. If he had the heart to attack me with his handful of miserable creatures, knowing what kind of army behind me, what forces remained in the castle, then he certainly is not that smart, which means he is not so dangerous. In half an hour everything will be over.
Our troops collided, and a fierce battle began, and Maakhir suddenly fell from his place and approached me, and I suddenly realized that I was not able to move. What is it? What is this magic? What is he doing ?! Where did he...
Staff. That same magic staff. A familiar cloak. Crown... Crown!
Relics of Sar-Issa. He still found them, found them and became stronger. Nothing, we will crush this accursed atheist, I'll show Belket his head! He trusts me, has always trusted me, and I will not let him down! After all, I did not have time, I did not warn, I did not tell him the main thing...
Maakhir raised his staff, and I suddenly saw a familiar flash.
What's wrong with me? Dark. Why is it so dark...
