The villagers turned slowly around to find a great hairy beast standing where Nogrod once stood. There was a big glob of drool hanging from his bottom lip as he slicked his lip in anticipation, excited at the meal he was about to recieve.

The villagers were rooted to the spot in pure fear. "What, are you all going to stand there as I kill you one by one?" Nogrod snarled in amusement. "Come on! I want a chase!" And he lunged at the Kath and Lommy, who screamed in utter terror.

Out of nowhere, an arrow zoomed into view and thudded right between the snarling beast and the girls. "Stay away from them!" Volo said quietly. The others turned to look at him. He had cast his Day garb aside. Underneath it, he had a sword attached to his sash and a quiver of arrows slung over his back with an bow out and another arrow already stung to it. "I said stay away from them you great ugly brute!!" Volo yelled and he fired off the arrow. It flew straight and pierced Nogrod's arm.

Nogrod howled in pain and ripped the arrow out of his arm. He turned quickly and lunged for Volo. He cast his sword aside and drew his sword. There was a deafning clang as Nogrod's claws clashed against Volo's sword.

A furious battle between the final Cursed and final Gifted errupted. They moved quickly, slashing here, clawing there. Finally, they stood ten feet apart from each other, each with cuts and scratches all over. Volo was panting heavily whereas Nogrod stood looking at him in pleasure.

"You have put up an excellent fight, Ranger. And I must comend you on your efforts to protect the village, but they were futile. You will all die anyway!"

"Is that so?" Volo asked, snearing. "Why don't you look behind you!"

Nogrod turned around quickly. Lommy and Kath, who, during the battle, had ran to Volo's Inn, had swords in their hands. Nogrod sneered. "Ha! I bet you two don't even know how to wield swords, you pathetic little whelps!"

"No, you're right," Kath said, smiling evily.

"We're just a distraction," Lommy said, smiling just as evily.

Then there was a loud twang from behind him and Nogrod fell, an arrow protruding from his heart.

Kath opened her eyes slowly, wondering where she was. "What, where am I? What happened?" She rose slowly and looked around. She saw Lommy and Volo standing there. And next to them was...Glirdan and Wilwa!

"What's going on?" she asked, utterly perplexed.

"That's just what we were asking," Volo said.

"Aren't you supposed to be dead, and you supposed to be lost forever!?" Lommy asked, frightened by what she saw in front of her.

"No, we are not dead. Neither are the people who you were with, with the exception of the Wolves. The others have been spared and sent back to their original era's. But you three have overcome all odds. You three, are exactly what we are looking for," Glirdan said smiling.

"And why's that?" Kath asked.

"Well, this all started awhile ago. Melkor, or as most no him as now, Morgoth, has laid siege on Beleriand," Wilwa started.

"Yes, know that, but what have these two got to do with it?" Lommy said inquisitively.

"We're getting to that, but these two need to know what's happening," Glirdan said shortly.

"As I was saying, Morgoth has laid siege on Beleriand and all it's inhabitants. He has put his most feared servant, Sauron, in charge of the island Tol-in-Gaurhoth. There, he breeds fell creatures, Werewolves in fact."

"And that's when I cam up with the idea of recrutting adventuerer's to come aid us. The only problem was how," Glirdan continued. "A short while ago, Wilwa and myself stumbled upon this little set up," he spread his arms to indicate the room. It was just then that Volo, Lommy and Kath noticed where they were. They were in a cave which was brightly lit and full of strange contraptions they had never even seen before.

"What is all this stuff?" Volo asked curiously.

"We don't exactly know, but we have thoughts," Wilwa answered. "With this equipment, we managed to travel to other era's in time and put everyone who was with you in a deep sleep. We brought you back here and put you in those pods."

"Now what happened is that once you were put in those pods, you all fell into a deep sleep and only until you were killed, or in your case, managed to find the Wolves, you stayed asleep. Once you were killed, you awoke and we sent you away."

"However, there are some who did outstanding work and we let them stay here. Boromir was one of those. We sent him off to help out in the war against Morgoth. And that is what you are here to do. You are here to help us in this war. That is if you would like," Glirdan said with a pleading expression.

Volo, Kath and Lommy looked at each other and said at the same time, "Of course we'll help!!"

Wilwa and Glirdan looked at each other and smiled. "Then be on your way, young heroes. The land of Beleriand beckons you!" And with a strange flash, the two Elves had disappeared.

"Man, they're good at that disappearing thing," Volo said, shaking his head in amazment.

"So, shall we go?" Kath asked them timidly.

"Yes, we shall. Follow me, for I know this land," Lommy said excitedly. And all three headed off out of the cave. They looked around the land.

Without a glance backwards, they set off into the sinking sun, not know what to expect on the horizon.

Volo - For your first time and in a Gifted role, I am greatly impressed. You too were amazing!

Kath and Lommy - Congrats on making it to the end and managing to stay under the radar.

Boromir - I don't think I've ever seen a Seer get that lucky before. I was shocked and impressed when you naile the first two Wolves in three Days.

Valesse - You did amazing, especially since this was only your second time and in a Cursed role. Many congrats!

Menel - I had high hopes for you, but Boromir went and nailed you on the first Day. Still, I know you would have done an amazing job.

Everyone else - You have no idea how proud I am of each and every one of you. All of you have amazing writing skills and amazing playing skills. Of all three games I've modded, this has been the most fun, the funniest and the best game I have modded. I owe you all a great thank you. So, THANK YOU!!!!

Wilwa - Even though you didn't do a whole lot, you helped me with the planning of the ending and you did the other stuff I asked you to do. Thank you ever so much!!

Now, you can all post away and rep away!!

And once again, thank you too all of you for an amazing game!!
