Description

Zenchi’s giant-killing blitz attack left the Cobalt Serpent helpless, merely waiting for the inevitable at this point. She had left her mark, several of them in fact, and it was on Chieftain Xander to bring the curtains to a close. Likewise, the mature water buffalo had one final touch to make. Despite being exhausted and bruised, he conjured up one last leap of faith. He lunged breathtakingly high from a plume of Water, his gaze meeting with the Heartblight crystal. It was one good swing of an axe away from breaking apart completely. With the Greathorns of the Sea reared all the way back, Xander spoke some final words. They were words not for the serpent, but for the proud sailor that it was in a bygone era, “Rest easy, Ivanne.” Everything fell silent for a moment before Xander’s battleaxe met the crystal. And then, *SHATTER!* Fragments of the bright yellow crystal scattered upon impact, gracefully yet pitifully falling down to the sea below. All the negative, cursed Energy held within the crystal began to burst out, an oddly beautiful display for a creature so benign with malice.

Once the deed was done, Xander leapt off of the serpent, retreating back to his ship, Wyona’s Hand. From there, he had a clear view of the serpent in its entirety. After battling on its body for so long, it was easy to forget just how enormous it truly was. The crystal on its head was broken and bleak, losing its illustrious glow and subsequently its power. The serpent managed to let out one final, desperate cry as it took its final breaths, “KRRREEAAHHRGG…” It started to fade away into yellow particles of Energy. Strong beams of light emanated across the sky, beaming onto the party. Zenchi, Ithaca, Roseland, and Xander looked on, covered in the serpent’s blood and severely fatigued from the intense battle. Now, they watched on as the Cobalt Serpent dissipated away, fading into nothingness and leaving behind a long legacy of death and destruction. But alas, it had all come to an end on this night. As the four of them look to the sky, the moon can be seen emerging from the storm clouds. Just as soon as they had arrived, they too were gone. It was finally…over. The Cobalt Serpent had been slain. The party was victorious. The Outriders were vindicated. G’eelm Outpost and Felvhati Isle were safe. And, perhaps most importantly of all, Ivanne G’eelm could at long last rest in peace, his body and mind having been set free from the nasty clutches of the Heartblight disease. The Cobalt Sea had been officially reclaimed, nevermore under the control of the Monarch of the Seas.
