The idea seemed tempting, but he couldn’t do it.
Matt looked at the Scavenger. “I am ready. When should we start?”
Archer, James and Daniel echoed, “We’re in. What do we have to do?”
The Scavenger smiled. “Nothing now. As I said, I will call you when the time comes.”
“And when will that be?”
“I don’t know. As per your Earth’s timings, I assume it could be soon,” the Scavenger said. “Just look out for each other and remain safe.”
They all nodded.
“And remember, you have agreed to something hazardous, involving great risk to your lives,” the Scavenger remarked.
“Anything for a friend.” Matt grinned extending his hand. Daniel, Matt and James put their hands immediately on Matt’s hand.
“I love that,” the Scavenger said, as he started fading away. “I will come to you when it’s time. And I will talk to you frequently in your dreams. Bye for now.”
The Scavenger disappeared.
The children had dealt with the Death Lord. They had saved the Dark World and the Earth. But it seemed that it might not be for long.
The quest for the Arcane Crown was the end of an adventure and the beginning of another. The difference is that the next one would most probably be a suicide mission for anyone who would dare to take the challenge.
The End
(For Now)
