He teleports and disappears. - Archen and the rest of FL’s squadron have arrived. FL frees the last surviving child apprentice mage then leads with Sir Luke to the next room. The Emperor holding Kalaborg is there with his mages and Ernon. As FL helps Ernon out of the magic circle, the Emperor throws Kalaborg towards the circle. FL intercepts the divine sword and is stabbed. As she lies unconscious, the sword disappears. - The Emperor is told the 2nd Prince has defeated the 1st Prince’s army. The Emperor orders the guards and mages to come down and kill the intruders while he looks for the sword. - FL suddenly revives and stands with Kalaborg in her hand. With great speed and power she kills the guards and mages. She then heals the squadron and restores Archen's divine power. Finally she teleports everyone to a safe area outside of the palace. - Archen believes FL has assimilated with Kalaborg. - After holding a funeral for their dead, FL’s group is met by the 2nd Prince and his army. Kalaborg speaks through FL and greets the 2nd Prince as the Black Lion of Calistonia and as the oracle foretold, accepts him as it’s new master and promises a glorious victory. - Kalaborg shows the 2nd Prince through FL’s eyes an aerial vision of the Emperor’s forces, allowing him to take note and plan ahead. - The 2nd Prince commands Kalaborg to leave FL’s body but it refuses as she will die if it does. Her soul remains in her body as long as Kalaborg shares her body. Her physical body needs to self heal to a point when divine power can then be used to fully restore her to life. The 2nd Prince orders no harm to come to FL’s body. - Kalaborg tells the 2nd Prince that he must absorb all of the mana from the Emperor, who has gained the power of the evil god of death. Only then will the 2nd Prince be strong enough to fully take control of the divine sword. - The Emperor and his army have marched out from the palace to meet the 2nd Prince and his men. - The Emperor fought against the 2nd Prince, but ran away after his hand began to wither when the 2nd Prince grabbed his arm. - The Emperor challenged FL when he saw her causing trouble against his men. He’s furious when he sees her holding Kalaborg but he loses the fight with his sword broken. FL kills the Emperor and the war is won. - FL fell asleep and remained unconscious for a month. - When she wakes, Ernon was holding her hand. The 2nd Prince is now the Emperor and he presented her with the title of Count for her efforts in the war.
