Picking up his twin longswords, he charged at Galberok, who was so injured from the battle, that even the legendary endurance of the trolls was not enough to let him survive.  With his blades blazing with fiery hate, Drender clipped the head from Galberok in one intersecting swipe, earning himself the enmity of Midorok and causing the rest of the Troll King's army to retreat from the fiery anger of the young Ranger.Drender ran to his fallen mentor; Wagner was crumpled in ways no human should be, and Drender knew the old man's wounds were fatal.  With tears in his eyes, Drender began gathering stones large enough to make a cairn for his teacher; when they were gathered, he went to move the body, and a scroll fell from Wagner's satchel.  It was a prophecy, sent by a man whom Drender didn't know but recognized the name of, Alistaire the Great, from a far off land.  It was called "The Prophecy of the Light Warriors: The Last Knight of the Green."  After enterring Wagner, Drender set off down Mount Bone, the Prophecy in one hand, his sword in the other...</blockquote>
