Across the plains of the East, reaching even to the peak of the floating mountain Metagalapya, a cataclysmic shout rang out. The vengeful Jalmar drove his feet deep into the chest of Cathak Nirak, to the center of his very being. He then ripped his arm free, and held a shimmering red shard of essence in his mighty grasp. The essence shard of Nirak shuddered in pain for a moment, then fell apart into the flows of the world’s energy. Jalmar’s father stared in total shock at the disintegration of his exaltation, then exploded in a cacophony of wailing flames and rage. Jalmar’s long night was finally over.
Anya and Iron Star, who had been kissing not far away, both ran to their hero. They shouted praises to Jalmar for his victory. Then together they traveled to the city of Nexus, where they all had pancakes. Jalmar’s tasted especially good.
“Hells yeah,†he said.
