And the world shall be saved!

Even though the ducal guards had their suspicions about Pasifika, Star Sibyl had faith in her and gave her some very important missions to take care of. :D Hmm... on second thought, maybe no one else wanted to do them... ;>_>

But Pasifika was ready to serve her country, as always, and she trekked to the cold north with Donthitme (who had been given a similar mission - they wouldn't by any chance have doubts about Pasifika's ability to handle the situation..?) and others who had agreed to help, including general Phucrabiont, of course. After a long trip through the snow fields and the dark halls of FeiYin, the adventurers reached their destination and prepared for battle, which obviously was ahead... anyone living in a place like that can't be expected to be friendly or hospitable. x)

With two summoners, two white mages, a red mage and a tarudin the adventurers didn't have very strong attack power, but the avatars certainly made the party look very impressive... The evil lich and its undead minions fell after a short but intense fight, and Pasifika learned what had happened to the seal she'd been sent to check on. Pasifika and Donthitme raced back to Windurst to tell the disturbing news.

(Pasifika won! That's why Donthitme had trouble getting the next mission at first, Pasifika was simply better suited to the job, right..? :o Or perhaps his less-than-respectful behaviour towards her holiness the Star Sibyl had something to do with it... x)

The others went each their own way to tend to some no doubt important matters, but Phucrabiont offered to accompany Pasifika and Donthitme back to the north. Hmm... couldn't they just have sent the orders via some magic devise rather than have the adventurers run back and forth..? Oh well, that's why teleports were invented, I suppose.

This time the three brave adventurers entered the forbidding castle Zvahl... The creepy place had more than the allowed amount of dark corridors, scary monsters and finicky teleporting devices, but Phucrabiont led the party safely to the most sinister of the gates.

Oh, except for that time when some goblins spotted Pasifika casting her invisible and killed her on the spot. -_-; What had the Star Sibyl been thinking, sending lil' Pasifika to a place like that! o_O; Luckily Phucrabiont had no trouble defeating the goblins, although quite a few of them joined the fray before the adventurers could finally continue their journey.

The closer the adventurers came to the final gate, the more exited Pasifika became - and a bit nervous, too, to tell the truth. Finally the three reached it and entered, and found the notorious Shadow Lord waiting for them inside! He towered above the adventurers, but came crashing down in the end and some more shocking truths were revealed to the wide-eyed adventurers. And so, through Pasifika's courage and selfless sacrifice, peace returned to the land... ^_^

Um, yeah, right... Pasifika did her best and the all-too-brave little tarudin actually seemed useful in the battle, but it was General Phucrabiont who saved the world today! D: Let's keep that a secret, though... Star Sibyl will smile so~ nicely at Pasifika when she tells her holiness she's taken care of the problem - and surely the Star Sibyl has enough worries without Pasifika telling her she had a San d'Orian help her with this very secret mission of great national importance... ^^;
