Epilogue
(专辑: Heroes Of Mighty Magic - 2016)
Wake up! Wake up! Time is of the
essence! I
must entrust you with what little I
know before, before I
must depart. There may be a
time where our paths cross again, but for now, you must only listen and heed There is... still hope. There are a
few that remain. A
few who can still bring order to the
chaos, light to dark, turn despair into glory The
elder wizards once knew of the
prophecies. The
are inscribed in riddles and serpent tongue, in the
ancient forgotten tomes in the
deepest of the
arcane libraries of Winterreach. I
have seen them with my own eyes! I
tried to decipher the
ancient conundrums and incantations, I
tried so hard! But for every secret that was unravelled before my eyes, two more stood at my doorstep For what seemed like aeons I
worked relentlessly. I
was at the
brink of madness many a
time, and almost succumbed to the
arcane forces unleashed. One day, I
finally found myself on the
verge of unfolding monumental mysteries, when, when they... And now, the
have abolished me! The
Arcane Tribunal deemed my studies... wretched and vile! Curse them! Let the
wrath of the
Netherrealm be upon their creaking bones! I
have not devoted my life to mundane sorcery to please cowards and weaklings! We must proceed with what has begun. The
wheels of fate are already spinning and we cannot bide any longer. We are on our own, and splendour shall follow in our wake So now, hearken. Ever since the
order of the
Seven Flames perished, and the
Dragon Fathers forgathered in the
Gharad Mountains; they are, albeit mighty beyond mortal comprehension, the
only thing that now stands in the
way of the
brooding calamity in Khrond, and the
only solace to the
people of the
Twilight Kingdoms. A
bleak comfort indeed The
life force in the
Glades of Lithôe are already dwindling and the
octarine luster in the
Forest of Destiny is waning. I
have beheld it, and I
have felt it. It will soon be upon us The
prophecies however, spoke of the
crystal bearers. Chosen heroes of starlight born for the
glory of the
kingdoms. The
guardians of man, elf and dwarf and the
protectors of the
realms They shall rise when time are dire, and come bearing arcane light and the
wrath of dragons. One hero shall arise from every kingdom, and with him, a
celestial crystal echoing his name. They are the
Twilight Force They remain nameless throughout the
grimoires and tomes, and none speak of their whereabouts or origin. I
have searched far and wide, over mountains and seas, through the
voids of Magicka and the
voices of time, and finally, I
now know. I
have seen their visions, and I
have felt their presence One is a
wood elf. A
swift and cunning woodland ranger with his heart in the
trees and his spirit on the
seas. Another is the
one rightful heir to the
Emerald Throne. A
gallant and mighty warrior on his path to his destiny. A
boy at mind, and a
true king at heart. The
third is a
venerable forest whisperer, a
mystic herbalist whit the
gift of beast speech. The
fourth is a
half-elf of clandestine nature. With an obsidian will and a
silent mind, he is the
shadow death. The
fifth is an enigma indeed. I
had trouble discerning his life force through my visions. And I
was transfixed by the
power of his spirit. I
felt surges of malicious contempt, as well as waves of cosmic insight and primordial wisdom. A
truly intriguing being of eldritch descent And, my friend... I, unbeknownst to me until the
last full moon, is the
last crystal bearer. That is why I
now, in the
eleventh hour, come to you. I
must seek out the
bearers, and the
crystals must be unearthed. And you, must in return to fulfill your oaths The
Knights of Twilight's Might must gather and rise
