Interodution

The year was 1996 standard time. The place was Earth, Latham New York to be presise. In this time and place of unimaginable fantasy there lived a boy named Cory Fife. This lad had no real friends there four he invented his own friends. This tale will inform you and me about the life of this poor chump. At the same time this tale will bring about the truth about the land of Tennion, a domain filled with elves, dwarves, mages, and great evil. This is the final hour.


Chapter 1
Family?



Cory rushed home from school. It was a cold fall day and he had longed for this time since he had gotten on the bus that morning. His brother Nick walked slowly behind Cory's speedy haste of speed.

Cory ran into his house and through down his school bookbag. He then went out in to the backyard and crawled into the fenced in feilsd bewhind his house. After several minuates Cor found what he was looking for, a backpack, like the kind you or I would bring to school, only instead of books this sack carried survival gear.

Cory strapped on his gear and was teleported to the land of Tennion. He checked his surroundings and then spoke, "Hey guys lets continue the adventure."

After he spoke this Cory's frineds cane out of hiding. His friends were Lonot, the elven mage, Bodrena, the dwarven warrior, Tuck, the warrow heros, and Bill, the hobbit thief.

Bill spoke to Cory, "Hey buddy, ready for the quest ahead of us."

"Yeah, but first let's head to the equipment shoppe," Cory said.

The crew walked into a clotured shop. There was a fire place in the corner, and weapon racks lined the wall. On the weapon racks that lined the walls were all sorts of weapons. Knives, daggers, and swords of all sorts hung on one wall. On a second wall there were nunchucks and other deadlyer weapons of might and tuffness, unmatched by anything known to you or I. In a glass case various shields and helms were stored. They were all top notch weapons and armor at low prices.

The shop keeper was a huge human who looked like he was a fighter or ravager at some time in his life of his lfe span. The man was bare chested except for the dirty apron he wore. He also had on good leather slacks and boots. On his head he wore a leather strap with two exotic feathers sticking from it.

"How can I help thee?" the human asked.

"I'd like a shield," Cory said.

"That will be 10 silver coins," the shop keeper said hand ing Cory the shield.

Cory handed the shop keeper the money his mother had given him that morning.

Meanwhile Nick looked out the window to see his brother place some money on a rock and pick up a garbage can lid.

"What a dork," Nick thought.

Back in Tennion Cory had left the shoppe and he and his fellow party members began their long hard quest, to defeat the evil dragon Gargos and find the magic orbs of life.

As the force began their journey Cory thought back to the day he met the travellers. It was about two months ago. His mom, Jill, the hell-beast had gone beserk, and his dad, Greg the tuffian, had just tried to pummel him. Cor escaped to the dfield and he met his friends. Since that time the crew had been working hard on their quest to save Tennion from Gargos the evil demon dragon of evil and darkness.

The crew marched through the grassy plains where the shoppes were.

"Today we head to the rain forest," Tuck said, "We can earn good exp. there."

"Sounds good Tuck," Cor said, "Mabye we should get some more party members."

"Who did you have in mind?" Bodrena asked with a voice of questioning.

"A great war beast of war named Pepper." the Fife said.

"Ahhh.... the beast of lore!" Bodrena said, "You should find this animal and return tommrow."

"So be it friends," Cor said, "I will return on the morrow and with me I will bare a war beast."

With that Cory removed his pack and returned to Latham. Cory walked back to his house. Cory walked into his house, Nick was in the family room watching some sort of sporting event.

"Hey Cor what were you doing in the corral?" Nick asked his older slow witted brother.

"Ahunnah...." the Fife said as he chewed on his thumb.

"What's for dinner?" Cor asked quikly chaging the supject.

"Stuffed peppers," said the smartest Fife nonchalently.

"That's not funny Nick!" Cory yelled in rage, "Where is Pep-per anyway?"

"In the cage."

"Mom will kill you! You know that the cage is only for when we go to school!" Cory yelled.

"So what! Mom is a bitch!" Nick yelled.

Suddenly a voice that would kill a pyscho shouted, "Jiminey crickets Nicholas! Watch your mouth!"

"Yeah Nick," a smaller, fatter version of Jill, named Brit said, "Watch your mouth."

Soon after the fray, Greg the tuffian, got home from work. Greg was a stout tuffian with a ring of hair. He had mustache and the ring of hair and that was it. Some people tought that he was a roided psycho, but it was just not true he was a true hard-core tuffian of might.

When Greg arrived the family sat down and ate their dinner. The entire family except for Greg ate stuffed peppers. Greg ate a lettuce and mayonaise sandwich.

After dinner Cory went up to his room and watched a movie from his selection of stash and had fun. It was one of his favorite movies in his large stash collect. It was some good old clean XXX rated fun of lore. When the movie ended the Cor went to sleep, dreading the next day of school.


Chapter 2
At School



The next morning Cory woke up around 6 am standard time when his alarm clock went off. Cory sleepily got out of bed and got dressed for school. He then went downstairs and ate his breakfast and watched a Japanation cartoon on tv. He then went outside to catch the bus. Cor got on the bus when it arrived.

As the bus rolled down the street all the children on the bus began making fun of Cory.

"Hey Fife! Nice shirt!"

Cory looked at his shirt, it was a farside shirt.

"Why would anyone make fun of this shirt?"

Soon the bus ride was over and Cory was at school. Cory walked into the school building and walk around by himself until classes began. Throughout the day Cory thought about his friends back in Tennion.

Then around lunch something happened to Cory.

Cory heard the voice of Lonot clearly say, "Cory we need you in Tennion!"

"Why? What's wrong guys?" Cory asked.

"What's wrong guys? HA HA HA!"

Cory turned around to see the class tuffian. He had heard Cory talking to Lonot. Cory then realized he could never go to school again.

That afternoon Cory rushed to the corral from his bus stop, but not before getting Pepper and dropping off his school bookbag.

Cory the rushed to the corral and stapped on his gear. His was instinatly transported with Pepper to the land of Tennion. When he arrived things were different. The plains were now just scorched earth.

"Guys what happened?" Cory asked.

"Gargos attacked here," Bill said.

"We must act quikly force!" Cory said, "Look I brought Pepper the mighty war beast of lore and might."

"Good we might have a chance," Bodrena said.

"We should head to the Badlands," Lonot said, "That's where Gargos lives."

"Then let's go group."

The crew began the march towards Gargos' lair. The world of Tennion looked different then it used to to Cory. The world looked damaged and scared, it was all Gargos' fault. Cory new that they would have to stop the evil dragon.

That evenig the crew stopped and set up camp. Bodrena got some fire wood and then Lonot lit it on fire.

"What are we going to eat crew?" Cory asked.

"Look in your pack," Bill said.

Cory opened his pack and saw some rations. Cory handed out the rations and then the group got to eating. The rations were dried meat of some long forgotten animal of Tennion. The rations of this sort were orginally invented by trollish warriors of might who ate dry meat.

After dinner the group decided that it was time for sleep. Cory slipped off his pack and was teleported back to Latham.

Cory and Pepper then entered the house. Greg was sitting in the living room with the rest of the family. Thy were watching must see tv.

"Cory Alwin Fife do know what time it is?" Jill screaked.

"Ahunnah..." Cor said chewing his thumb.

"It's 9:07. You've missed 1 hour and 7 minuates of family time!" Jill screamed.

"Looks liek I'll have to teach you a lesson," Greg said standing.

Greg picked up a nearby log and approached Cory.

"No foul fiend! I'll shall vanquish thee!" Cory yelled.

Nick started laughing.

"Cory just go to your room. No must see tv for you tonight," Jill said.

Cory walked up to his room and laid down. He was ready for the next day. He had quit school and was going to concintrat full time on saving Tennion. Cory drifted into a pleasent sleep.

The next morning Cory woke up at 6:08 am and went down satirs after getting dressed. After eating breakfast Cory took Pepper and snuck out to the corral and strapped on his gear. The two brave Lathamians were transported back to Tennion. Cory arrived back at the camp. Everyone was asleep except for Cory's buddy Bill.

"Hail friend!" Cory said.

"Hi buddy."

Soon the rest of the party was awake and ready for the quest of the day.


Chapter 3
The walk in the Enchanted Woods



The crew set off to the Badlands.

"Soon we will be walking through the Enchanted Woods," Lonot said, "I will have to protect us with a spells."

Lonot then chanted and old spell of lore to protect the party as they journied through the Enchanted Woods.

The Enchanted Woods were magical forests guarded by fairies who put curses on people who walked in the woods, also there were tree men who ate people.

The crew journeyed into the woods ever so slowly. Suddenly they were ambushed.

"Orcs!" Bodrena yelled, "Get in fighting stances!"

Cory whipped out his trust short sword that Bodrena the dwarven warrior of might had given him the day that Cory arrived in Tennion, and began conflict.

At the same time, on Earth Nick walked onto his property to see his older brother swinging a stick around and carring a garbage can lid.

Back in Tennion, life or death conflict was occuring. Cory had racked up the most kills of all the members of the party, because he was the greatest warrior that the folks of Tennion had ever seen.

Soon all the orcs were slain and the party of adventuring travellers regrouped.

"How odd," Bill said.

"What? What's odd?" Cory asked.

"Orcs could never make it this deep into the Enchanted Woods," Bill said.

"Unless Gargos is allied with the tree men and fairies now as well," spoke Lonot.

"That would not be a very good thing," said the warrow who was named Tuck and had a job not unlike that of hero of Tennion.

"No it wouldn't," said Bodrena, "So let's make some hasty speed out of this acursed place."

The crew ran the rest of the way and soon they were out of the Enchanted Woods, but the minuate they left the woods they met a new problem.

"More orcs!" Lonot yelled.

There was a platoon of orcs here, but these orcs were lead by a l?h, an undead fiend of evil. These creatures rode upon steads that were not unlike that of horse-sized lizards, only they had tails not unlike that of a rat, the l?h's stead was called a moh.

Cory whipped out his sword once again and got ready for conflict.

Suddenly a voice spoke, "These creatures of evil will plague Tennion no longer!"

Suddenly a hail of darts came flying from a bush, killing the entire platoon of orcs.

"Why doesn't our unseen friend take out this fiend! ", whispered Cory.

"Maybe another orct him already, but that doesn't explain why there are not more here already. Maybe he knows that darts can't harm undead.",whispered Bill, whose fear started to come upon him.

" Why doesn't he take out the moh "

" I don't know, but I do know that fire kills undead, set off a spell for me my sorcerer friend" said Bodrena.

With that Lonot spoke a quick inncanation and then let off a fire ball turning the moh and the l?h to dust.

"Good move guys," the voice said.

"Why don't you show yourself," said Bodrena, "I'd like to talk to a warrior as great as yourself."

"Okay," said the voice.

With that a young woman of the human variety walked out of the bush.

"What a girl!" Cory said in shock, "Your not supposed to be a girl!"

"What do you mean?" the woman asked.

"Cory she has as much talent as you and I so I think that we should bring her on our quest," Bodrena said.

"Fine. You may join our quest. What's your name?" Corys said.

"I am called Marilyn."

The party then got a new member, Marilyn, the human. Marilyn was a human. Her gender was female. She was a twenty year old human of about five feet five inches height. Upon her head was brown hair extending to her shoulders. Her eyes were of the same color as her hair, and her talent with darts was obvious.


Chapter 4
The Oracle



"What is your quest anyway?" Marilyn asked after the force had marched for about an hour.

"We are going to defeat Gargos and retreive the orbs of life," said Cory, "The only problem is the fact that Gargos is an invincible fiend who has no weakness."

"That is not so," Marilyn said, "Near the town of humans, called Larkin, in the swamps of Tarkin there dwells the Oracle. He alone knows Gargos' weakness."

"Then we should head to Larkin!" said Cory.

"Good," said Marilyn, "It's not far from here, and that's where I live. I can get my gear and we can rest there."

The forces of Cory then began marching toward Larkin. As they marched, Bill approached Cory and then Bill spoke, " I don't like traveling with the woman either, like you I prefer the company of men."

Cory shook his head in agreement, "God forbid we can go on this quest without a woman. What the hell! It's so lame, but she is a good fighter of evil my friend, so we should let her travel with us."

"You speak loud words of truth!" said Bill as the party neared Larkin.

Soon the party was at Larkin and they were making their way to Marilyn's house to retrive her gear.

Marilyn's house was small and cluttererd. There was a fireplace in won corner, and in the other was a bed. At the foot of the bed was a chest, and near the fireplace was a basket of corn. Marilyn opened the chest and removed a cloak, a pouch of money, and some extra special darts of lore.

"This is for you hero," Marilyn said handing the cloak to Cory.

It was a navy blue wool cloak, good and warm. It would serve him well.

In Latham Nick went out to the back yard to shoot some hoop. As he went outside he saw his brother tie an old Batman sheet around his neck.

"That goes well with the garbage can lid and the stick," Nick thought to himself. His family was so weird.

Back in Larkin Cory and the rest of the crew had begun their trek to the great Oracle of lore.

The swamps of Tarkin were smelly bogs of despare. Bull frogs croaked their sad songs of sorrow, and there was muck everywhere. Cory had to carry Pepper the war beast, beacause her legs kept getting stuck in swamp.

"Where is this oracle of lore?" asked the greatest hero of Tennion, Cory Fife.

"He's nearby," Marilyn said, "Not much further."

The crew finally came to a hault. There was a clearing in the swamp, where there was a cave. On the entrence to the cave hung the rune emblem of the Oracle.

"This is the Oracle's lair," said Bodrena.

The crew the proceded into the lair. It was smelly like reek. Suddenly the group was face to face with the Oracle. The Oracle was a huge frog that wore a golden crown upon his head.

"So ribbit you're the hero ribbit," the Oracle croaked, "To kill Gargos ribbit you first must get the lore sword. This is in the cloud town of the good dragons of goodness. Good luck ribbit!"

"To the Cloud Town!" shouted the Fife.

The crew of heros left the cave and returned to Larkin, where they decided to spend the night at the local inn. That night at the inn where they got a room the force decussed how to get the lore sword. It was Tuck who figured out how. Pegasususes.

So Cory said good night to his friends and removed his pack.

Back in the field Cory and Pepper rushed to the house. He hoped that he hadn't missed any family time or he would catch it.

Cory ran into the living room just as the family all sat down. He had made it and would be allowed to play Clue, the great board game of lore invented by Parker Brothers.

That night at 11:00pm in the night, Cory went up to his bedroom. As he drifted in sleep Cory thought about the Pegasus he would ride on the morrow.


Chapter 5
The Pegasus Hunt



The next morning Cory and Pepper walked into the corral ready for their journeys in Tennion. Cory couldn't wait to see a Pegasus. Therefour Cory strapped on the pack of hefty survival gear and was teleported back to the Larkin inn. The rest of the party had just woken up and were strapping on their gear.

"Hail Cory!" yelled Bodrena, "Are you ready to go on the pegasus hunt?"

"No not yet," Cor said, "First I want to go to the shoppe of Larkin and check out the gear."

"That is a good idea!" exclaimed Bill happily.

The crew left the inn and headed to the shoppe.

They entered a clotured store with an unusual man behind the desk.

" If your not buying your leaving! " said the mans low voice. He was a short, yet well built, man. It seemed that where ever they went his eyes would follow. After finding bedspreads; saddles and bags, for the Pegasus of course; and also provisions, for their possibly long journey; they purchased them and placed them into a large backpack which Bill had purcased. Next they went to the weapon shoppe.

Once there Tuck bought enough arrows to refill his quiver. Cory also made a purchase. His was a bit larger, however. Cory aquired a new pair of cloth armstraps, protective gear for his shins, and ankle supports.

The group then left the town.

"Where could we find Pegasususes?" Cory asked.

"The Crystal Caverns," said Lonot, "The Pegasus dwell there."

The warriors of might then proceded to the Crystal Caverns where they would catch some pegasuses and then fly to the good dragons cloud town and get the lore sword so they could defeat the evil dragon Gargos and get the orbs of life back.

The Crystal Caverns were huge caves made entirly of crystal. After about an hours hike the crew came to the breeding grounds of the pegasus. The pegasus saw the interlopers and fled.

"Now what?" Cory yelled.

" Look, up ahead there is a fork in the paths ", started Bill, " If our friend takes a right then the path should loop around to an opening up ahead, if we split up we should be able to catch it ".

"Here take these bolos!" Lonot yelled.

Then Marilyn volunteered to run the Pegasus into the right side of the passage. As her friends watched her run she began to see the animal take a rest. Then, running frantically at it, she scared it into the right side. Then with a sigh of relief she yelled back that they took the right side. Slowly she began to gain on it, for wings are not very air resistant. When she was around twenty feet away she noticed the numbers were more of two rather than one.

After the signal from Marilyn the rest of the crew set up.

" If their numbers are two or more what shall we do ", asked Bill.

" I don't no my friend, I guess jump unto it and hope to calm it once on. ", said Lonot now worrying if his plan would work.

" Look here it comes, and behind it ... there runs... another ".

Watching the animals come towards them was the easy part, but when they arrived it was not so easy. With a silent throw the spell slinger let loose the bolo knocking the first Pegasus to the ground, unsuccessfully attempting escape. When the second came into place the elf leaped from a ledge to its back. The startled creature went ballistic, and ran off into the darkness of the caves. With no apparent way to stop the Pegasus Bill began trying to simply soothe it.

" I think I'll name you Hawkeye, for you have the speed of a hawk, and the eye of one too ".

Once returned to his startled friends he reassured them that he was all right, and what he had learn of the Pegasus's home. Since the first one had already been untied they mounted and proceded to catch Pegasusus for the rest of the party. The crew then left the caverns.

"We now head to Cloud Town in the clouds," spoke Bodrena.

With that the party flew into the sky, everyone on a Pegasus except Pepper who was in Cory's pack of survival gear.


Chapter 6
Adventures in Cloud Town



The forces of good were on their way to Cloud Town, homeworld of the dragons. As the rode, Lonot told the story of Gargos.

"Gargos was once a good dragon, but one day he got evil. Then he stole the orbs of life and moved to the Badlands," spoke the elven mage.

"Yeah now Tennion is hell!" yelled Tuck in a disgruntled tone of voice.

"We will make it good once more!" said Cory in a heroic voice.

"Well guys, here is Cloud Town," said Bodrena.

The clouds here were thick and upon them were huge white stone palaces of lore and might. It was here where the dragons of good prueness and not evil worked and learned.

The group parked their Pegasususes and entered the palace of the dragon king. The force was lead to the throne room where King Dracco king of the dragons lived.

Dracco spoke in a booming voice, "Hello little folk, I know of your quest and your need of the lore sword, but before I can give it to you, you must go back to the ground and enter the lair of the evil elven scientist by the name of Gloin Magins. This jerk has invented a race of troll dragons known as half-dragons. Half-dragons are evil servents of Gargos. I ask you to slay Magins and bring me his heart. I will then donate the lore sword to your cause."

"Thank you good king we will not fail!" Cory shouted.

The crew then remounted their steads and headed off to Gloin Magins' lair of evil. Soon the good guys were back on the gorund aqnd were making their way to Magins' lair.

Magins' lair was a hugantic iron tower of doom. Inside he preformed more perverted acts then the ones Cory commited at the local vet back home. The doors were big and sturdy with spikes that caused death sticking out of them.

"How will we open these doors?" Cor asked his troops.

"I will ready a spell!" shouted Lonot as a conjured an incantantion of the olden elven tounge from days long gone by of the dayus of lore.

The doors dissolved in puddles of liquid nothings not unlike that of dream liquid which the sandman of phillaman used to induce dreams in the mighty 3 heros.

Soon the party of might and right had made thre way into the tower. Looking around the group saw nothing. Suddenly an old zany looking elf dropped from above, landing wit ha thud! It was the scientist of lore Gloin Magins. He drew a razor bladed knife and then yelled something in the dark tounge.

Then three huge half-dragons appeared. They were around eleven feet tall, and had a twenty foot wing span. All were equiped with large war hammer and all were combat ready.

Cory drew his trusty short sword and rushed at the fierce half-dragons. The cobat was long and hard and when it was final over all the half-dragons and Gloin were dead.

"Damn half-dragons!" Bodrena said as he nursed a wound.

"Where is Gloin? We got to get his heart out," Tuck asked.

The party looked around the carnage and say something they didn't want to see, Pepper had eaten Gloin entirly.

"Damn dog!" Tuck shouted, "Now we'll never get the lore sword."

"We should return to king Dracco. Maybe he'll understand," Bill said.

"Quikly back to the Pegasuses!" Marilyn said as the force rushed out of Gloin's tower.

The crew then flew back to Cloud Town, and rushed into the throne room of King Dracco.

"Good king, we slew Gloin, but the war beast of might ate the heart," Cory said.

"We'll have to remove it then," said Dracco, "Guard give me your halabred."

The guard handed the halabred to Dracco who chopped Pepper in half. He then took Gloin's heart from the pile of mess and said, "Very good warriors of truth and goodness."

As he spoke the words, Pepper reformed only this time she was mightier than ever.

The party got the lore sword and said farewell. They then flew down to Tennion and set up camp for it was getting dark and the crew need rest after all they'd been through. Cory took of his gear and went home for family time. It was a Friday and that ment X-Files. Cory loved the X-Files, and had a whole collection of X-Files tee-shirts that were just neon green ness of a black shirt.


Chapter 7
Saturday's Events



Cory woke up the next day. It was Saturday and that ment that Cory had other thing he had to do before he could save Tennion. That morning Cory got up early and went to Tennion to tell his friends that he wouldn't be back until later that day.

The crew understood and Cory returned to Latham. Later that morning Jill drove him to his job at the local vet's office. Cory loved his job, because Cory loved animals more than most people do and he showed his love in an odd way.

That day Cory got to examine three dogs, and from behind the door of the examining room the owners of each of these pets could here animal crying and grunts.

After Cory finished up at work his mom the hell-beast of Latham picked him up and drove him to his bass lesson. At his lesson Cory learned how to play some good old slap bass (the style of bass playing used by such bands as Red Hot Chili Peppers). Cory rushed through his lesson and then returned to his house. Once he put his bass upstairs and changed into some clean, not animal smelling, clothes Cory got Pepper and rushed out to the corral, where he strapped on his gear and prepared to face some of the hardest terrain he had ever incountered.

When Cory returned to Tennion he saw his friends polishing gear and sparring.

"Guys I'm back we can go now," Cory said.

"Good, we've be training all day," said Tuck.

"We should head for the Badlands now," Bodrena said.

With that the crew began their ride towards the lair of Gargos.

Meanwhile in Latham, from inside the house Jill called her husband, Greg.

"Look at Cory and Pepper romping in the field. Don't they look cute?" she said.

"You made me stop working with tools for that woman?" Greg asked, "What are you dumb?"

Back in Tennion Cory and his forces had made it to Hol Mondor, the last town before the Badlands. Here they decided to go shopping and get a room at the local inn.

Cory bought some sturdy plate mail for himself, and for Pepper he bought a suit of dog sized chain mail, built for the fierce Hol Mondor battle hounds.

The other party members got themselves equiped for the long hard traveling ahead as well. Bill purchased some razor knives. Bodrena bought a mighty axe, and a dwarven helm. Lonot bought a cloak of evasion and Tuck bought a suit of golden mail.

After the shopping spree the company got several rooms at the inn. Tuck and Bodrena shared one room, Lonot and Marilyn shared a second, and Bill and Cory were in the third, the animals were stabled in the stables.

That night was the most fun Cory had on his entire quest, because his buddy, Bill was a really nice guy.

That night Cory returned to his home. Waiting for him were Jill and Greg. As Cory walked in he noticed the bottle of J.D. (Jack Daniels to you or I) in his disgruntled dad's hand.

"You missed all of family time this evening Cory!" Jill yelled.

"Sorry Mom it won't happen again," Cory said in a sorrow filled voice.

"Damn right you little asshole!" Greg shouted as he got ready to brawl Cory.

"Dad I'm sorry!" Cory cried.

"Not as sorry as you're gonna be!" Greg bellowed as he ripped his shirt in half.

Greg then brawled Cory. Greg pummeled his eldest son in every way imaginable. The tuffian used his bare hand, a sledge hammer, and at one point he used a frozen slab of meat.

Cory was left for dead when his parents went upstairs, only he wasn't dead, he was alive.

That night he snuck back to the corral. He knew he would never return to Latham again.


Chapter 8
The Quest Moves On



Cory strapped on his gear and returned to Tennion. He found himself in the bed in the inn with Bill.

"Hey buddy," Bill said smiling broadly.

"Hey Bill, looks like I going to be here from now on," the Fife said.

"Oh yay!" Bill said clapping his hands.

For the rest of the night Cory and Bill had fun, and the next morning it showed, for in the next days march both were tired.

The crew marched out of Hol Mondor and towards the Badlands. The Badlands were plains of thorns and demons. On top the Snake Mountain, the volcano which was in the center of the Badlands was the dark castle of Gargos.

"These are the Badlands," said Bodrena, "This is where the quest gets serious."

The force marched through the darkness until they came to a wall of thorns as thick as a fortressess wall. After a long period of searching the group found a passageway through the thorns. When they finally made their way out, they realized that they had made their way up Snake Mountain and now they stood at the gate of Gargos' castle.

"Halt! You are intruders!" a loud voice shouted.

The group of stalwart heroes looked up to see two menecing looking trolls weilding troll clubs, and wearing troll mail.

"To arms!" Tuck shouted as he dove behind a thorn bush and notched an arrow in his bow.

Tuck quickly drew the bow to full and loosed the arrow with a humming twang of bowstring. Even before the deadly missle had sped to the target, another arrow was released, and another, another, and another - in all, five arrows were shot in rapid succession, hissing through the air, strinking home with deadly accuracy. The arrows buried themselves deep into the dark troll flesh of one of the trolls, making him stumble backwards and fall down dead.

As Tuck and Marilyn lauched a volley of missles, and Lonot began an incantation of lore, Cory, Bill, and Bodrena began hacking at the second troll with their blades.

Soon both trolls were dead, and the crew where inside the castle.

The force made their way through the castle with few problems and soon they were face to face with Gargos.

"Welcome heros," the evil dragon chuckled, "If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake. Oh well I'll just kill you as I did all the others."

Cory glance around the room and noticed piles of armor, weapons, and bones.

"I'll fight you!" Cory yelled.

With that Cory and the rest of the party engaged in combat with the evil beast. Cory struck down upon the beast with the lore sword and the dragon let out a terrible screach.

"You had the lore sword! Well you will never truly win, for I have hiden the orbs of life where they will never be found! Also you will still have to face my master and he is not as weak as I! Damn you Cory Fife! Damn!" the evil beast of darkness who was the dragon named Gargos yelled.

"Now what?" Bodrena asked shifting his helm.

"We find the orbs!" Cory said triumphantly.

The group left the Badlands and returned to Hol Mondor. At the Hol Mondor inn the crew decided that the next day they would take back the lore sword and ask Dracco where to look for the orbs.

That night Cory stayed in Tennion, he had been there for twenty four hours in time to you or me and he was happy.


Chapter 9
The Real World



The next morning the group saddled up and headed to Cloud Town. Once there the walked into Dracco's palace and into the throne room.

"Welcome back heros!" he said.

"Hail King Dracco!" Cory shouted, "We are here to return the lore sword, and seek your sage wisdom."

"About the orbs?" Dracco asked.

"Yes." Cory said.

"The first one can be found in your homeland, that one will help you find the rest. As for the lore sword, hang onto it, you will need it," said Dracco.

"Thank you sir," said Cory, "We must now retrive the orbs."

The crew then flew down to the ground of Tennion and dismounted their steads.

"We all must travel to your homeland," Lonot said, "With my spells we can."

Lonot chanted a spell and soon the crew were all in Cory's backyard.

"I think the orb is in that fortress," Lonot said, "It fells evil."

From inside Nick watched his brother creep into the house.

"I think it is upstairs," Cory said as he and his forces made their way upstairs.

Bodrena kicked in a door, and the forces were confronted by a gremlin. Cory finished it off quickly with a blow from the lore sword, blood poured from the fat slimy creature's head.

"It's not in here," Marilyn said after see ransacked the room, "Bodrena break down that door."

Bodrena quicked in the door across the hall from the gremlin room. Suddenly the forces of good were attacked by a hell-beast, and a club wielding tuffian.

Marilyn released dart after dart into the tuffian's chest, stunning him. Bodrena chopped off the tuffians head as Lonot released a spell engulfing the hell-beast in flames, but the beast from hell would die of flames so Cory repeatedly stabbed the hell-beast causing instant death.

Bill then shouted, "I got the orb!"

With that the forces left the fortress, and returned to Tennion.

As Cory left his house Nick went upstairs to see what all the comotion was. What he saw shocked him, Brit was lying in a puddle of her own blood which flowed freely from a hole in her skull. Greg was found headless, with darts in his chest, nearby lay the wood chopping ax which was stored in the garage usally. His mother, Jill, was found charred with stab wounds in her.

Then Nick realized he was free! He was finally free! He jumped in the car and drove to the city.

Nick found a cheap apartment and moved in there. He soon ran out of money however, and was kicked out of the apartment.

He then realized what his life had been. Back in Latham he had everything, including daily beatings, and now he was stuck as a nomad of the city.

Back in Tennion, things were much more joyess. The crew had found the first orb of life, and things were going well.


Chapter 10
The Second Orb



"How do we work this thing?" Cory asked shaking the orb of life.

"Simply aske me to do what you want," a voice said.

Cory looked into the orb to see a face it looked like an angel is supposed to look, only the ears were not unlike that of an elfs.

"My name is Soiron, the God of Life, I rule all the other gods, and I also controlled all the orbs until the day Numalt's servent Gargos stole them and hid them in various places of evil and darkness," said the figure in the orb.

"Who is Numalt?" Cory asked, "I've never heard of him."

"That's because you are good and he is evil," Lonot said.

"Numalt is the God of Death and he is banished to the firey pits of Central-Tennion where he does his evil deeds," said Soiron.

"Well friend Soiron, where is this second orb of life hidden?" asked Cory.

"In the Relm of Fear," spoke the god.

"That place is evil and scarry," said Lonot, "One must be brave to go there."

"Well then we must go and be brave else Tennion is destroyed," Cory said.

After saying those words of wisdom the forces of Cory rode hard and made their way to the Relm of Fear. The Relm of Fear was a place of evil that was in the western most part of Tennion. The Relm of Fear was a separate province which was ruled by the demon Hagar, a servant of Numalt.

After several days of hard, dangerous travel, the group had crossed into the Relm of Fear.

The orb then spoke, "The orb is being held by Hagar. To get in back you must slat him to death, by standing up to your worst fear."

"Sounds good," Cory said.

With that the crew began walking towards Hagar's domain. As they walked Cory thought he heard footsteps behind them.

Suddenly a huge red demon, with blood dripping from his hands and mouth alike appeared.

"Welcome Cory Alwin Fife! My name is Hagar. Welcome to your demise!" the demon hissed.

"You don't scare me!" Cory yelled.

"I know I don't, but this does," said the demon.

And with those words, Greg and Jill, Cory's parents appeared.

"Get away! I hate you!" Cory yelled.

"Jiminey Crickets Cor! How dare you speak to your parents that way!" Jill shouted.

"Looks like this piece of crap kid needs to be taught a lesson!" shouted Cory's father.

Cory wimpered and backed up away from his parents.

"Cory stand up to your fears! They can't hurt you!" Tuck shouted.

With that Cory whipped out the mystical lore sword and quikly decapitated both of his parents.

"You two don't scare me anymore!" Cory yelled as he wiped the blood off the mystical blade that was the lore sword.

"What! Not afraid! That means....." the demons works were cut short on a count that his head exploded sending flying cerebrum and cerebellum alike.

The party walked over to where the demon Hagar once stood. The checked the carnage and found a second orb.

Cory stared deeply into the orb until he saw a face. This being was made entirely of granite rock, but had the look not unlike that of Soiron, the God of Life.

Then the voice spoke, "Thank thee Cory. My name is Stondar, god of the earth and rocks! I am so glad that you saved me! Now let's find the rest of the orbs and save Tennion from the evil creations of Numalt the evil god of death who is evil and causes death and harm and caused all the evil beings to exsist."

Cory then spoke to Soiron, "Where to now? Where is the third orb hidden?"

The god of life spoke, "The third orb is hidden is the depths of the Mon-key Mines."

"Those mines used to be the home to many dwarven clans, but then the darkness came and the dwarves left. Now it is inhabited by the evil creatures called the bodungs. Bodungs equal tuffer orcs who are invincible," Bodrena said.

"Well then let's go to the Mon-key Mines!" said Cory.

The crew then began their ride towards the Mon-key Mines, where they would have to face the fierce bodungs in order to retrive the third orb.


Chapter 11
The Mon-key Mines



The force travelled for severla day until they finally reached the Mon-key Mines. The mines were huge caves that contained stalactites and stlagmities alike. The caves were there from the first era of Tennion, when the gods roamed the world by themselves, before there were any humans or dwarves or elves or any of the other races that existed later on in the history of Tennion which was a long history of lore.

The cave looked not unlike that of a skull, only instead of being made of bone this skull was of rock and it wasn't a real skull, only a rock skull aproximantly 10 feet high, and made of various rocks, some of which are unheard of to you or I.

The crew made their way into the cave of the bodung tuffians, fear gripping them. They kept walking through the caves, cave bats circling overhead, like vultures.

As the crew walked through the caves Cory asked the orb of life why Numalt would want the orbs anyway.

"The being who has the five orbs of olden lore can use them to create a powerful being. If I control them, a great king of truth and right will arrive. If Numalt controls them, a mighty warlord with a vast army of darkness will arrive," Soiron said.

"Who are the other orbs?" asked Cory.

"The five orbs are Stondar, god of earth, Otquid, god of water and the deep sea, Flamor, god of the fire, Stratos, god of the sky. Then there are two orbs that are needed to revive the being. One is mine, the other is Numalt's. Only one of these orbs are needed," said the orb of life.

"Why didn't Numalt raise the warlord if he had all the orbs?" Cor asked.

"He thought that there were only five, not six, so he took mine thinking that it was the fifth, when really he needed Stratos' orb, which is still owned by Stratos," said the orb.

The conversation was interupted by Bodrena, "Shhh. I think I hear bodungs."

Tuck crouched down behind a rock and notched an arrow in his mighty bow. Suddenly three huge bodungs burst through the wall of the cave. Each was approximatly 6'15" tall, and covered in puke green mossy fur. The bodungs were equiped with stone axes that were stones tied to logs, and they wore a metal plate over their chests which hung around their necks by thick cords.

"Set up a spell my conjurer chum," Cory yelled getting in a battle stance.

"Ackton! Malkor! Perigrim!" Lonot chanted.

As he uttered those words, a blast of beam shot from his fingers killing a bodung. The other two bodungs saw this and became enraged. They gripped their stone axes and charged at the stalwart warriors of might and tuffness.

As the creatures ran at them, Tuck made his attack. He drew back the bowstring and let fly quarrel after quarrel. Each hit it's mark and buried itself deep in the bodung's flesh with a thunk. Blood was shot from the bodung's body forming a small puddle on the ground. The wounded creature let out a bodung grunt and died.

The third bodung had engaged in combat with Marilyn and Bill. Bill had jumped onto the creatures back and was slashing at it's throat with the razor knifes. Marilyn shot one of her extra special darts of lore which hissed through the air ripping apart the bodungs face where the dart had become buried.

The three bodungs where now all dead and the party continued on their dangerous mission. The group continued thier quest through the cave until it became to dark to see what was going on. After a few minutes their own hands were lost right in front of their faces in the pitch black darkness, and magic is nothing if you can't read the inncanation, even if readable there was still nothing to light so fire would be useless. Through this darkness they walked leaning on the walls as to not become lost in this dwarven labyrinth, there hands were held be each other so as to not loose someone. They remained silent until they came to some dim light, and then it was only broken by sighs of relief, and a reassuring statement by the orb saying that they were headed the right way.

It was here that the group set up camp for the night. All the travellers were tired and need to rest and get some food into their stomaches of lore. The group built a small fire and ate some of the food that was in Cory's pack of survival gear.

They decided that they should take turns guarding in case the bodungs decided to attack them in the dark where they wouldn't be able to escape and get help or the like.

The next morning all woke early so they could get through the mines as quikly as posible. The force walked through deeps of darkness for several more hours until they came to a large open room. In the center of the room stood a large pedestal aproximatly 3 feet tall, and carved from marble. It looked like early Garbon Clan craftmenship. The Garbon Clan was one of dwarven clans that once dwelled in the Mon-key mines of old.

Atop the pedestal sat the third orb. Cory picked up the orb and looked deeply into it. Inside he saw the shape of the gods of lore, only this one was ingulfed in flames of heat and fire of heat and flames. "I thank thee brave Cory Alwin Fife! I am Flamor, god of fire and heat, warmth and lava," spoke the god in the orb that had just been retrived from the Mon-key mines where the party of travellers where currently standing at.

Cory placed this orbs with the others in his pack of survival gear. He then asked Soiron where the next orb was. "Next you must mount some flying beasts and fly to the domain of the gods, which is high above the Cloud Town of the dragons you know well," said the orb.

"We'll take the quick root out," said Bodrena as he pushed a rock out of the way of a secret door.

The party walked out and looked about. They were at the location where they had left the pegasuses that they rode sometimes.

The crew then mounted up and flew up to Cloud Town. All were completly tired and decided to stay the night at Cloud Town before they went to the relm of the gods.


Chapter 12
Gabbing With Gods



The next morning Cory woke and they set out to get the orb from Stratos the mighty god of air and stratosphere, which was not unlike that of atomosfear. The gang jumped onto the pegasuses and took of to the relm of the gods, where all the gods live except for Numalt for as all no, Numalt lives in the land of Central-Tennion.

The crew arrived in the relm and were met by some unusual creatures, the likes of which Cory had never seen. They were a race that resembled humans but feathered wings lay upon its back and atop the ears formed a point, like that of an elf's. Another fact separates them from other mortals on the planet Tennion being that they are the only race which can reach the heavens and talk with the angles and gods, but not even the parracks are allowed to speak with the high god Soiron. Another reason why they are the only race which can reach the heavens is that between heaven and earth is a sacred barrier that the spirits of the kind are only aloud to pass. According to myth, though , parracks are angels, in a form of limbo; therefor they can trick the barriar and go to the heavens.

When the forces of good and truth arrived in the relm with a title not unlike that of heaven. There they met two of the creatures entitled parracks. The names of these parracks were Jodung and Jarrion. Jodung was a clerical warlord, who was gifted with the weapon entitled black shafted spear. Jarrion was just tuff. He was the most ultra and was gifted in all schools of the arcane wisdom, and he was also a trained warrior fighter. These characters were heros of lore, part of the elite 3 heros of might. They joined Cory's party to stop evil.

After gabbing with various gods, they party met Stratos and recieved his orb warmly. After getting the orb, the party was invited to a feast of banquet.

All were seated around a large table with all the angels and some of the lesser gods. Soon the food was served up by the slaves. There was steamed sandwiches, maynoise fillets, and an odd bread that turned into milk when biten. Asides from these foods there were numerous other foods from various Tennion cultures, tribes, and races of lore, which looked like they were gross food products to Cory so he didn't eat them.

After the meal while every one was relaxing, Cory spoke to the orb of life.

"Soiron," spoke the Fife, "Where is this orb of Otquid?"

"Deep in the sea," said the orb, "It is guarded by the evil sea monster called Lona. To defeat this fiend you first must find Boren Dinel. He is one of your kind, an Earthling. He is the third of the 3 heros. Rumor has it that he dwells deep within the Forest Goro."

"I will seek him!" shouted the excited Cory.

The next morning the crew set off back to Tennion. They were all tired and smelled bad, for none had bathed in days. It was unamiunsly decided by all to go to the Lake of Gooldbare and get clean. As much as Cory protested he was outnumbered and decided to face his fear and take a bath.

The forces stopped at the lake and got out of their armor and reeking clothes that stunck. They all then dove into the cold water and got clean.

"All clean!" Cory said as he got out of the pool.

His words were cut short by a bee piercing his thigh.

"DAMN! Let's do some foe fightin' guys!" Cory yelled drawing the lore sword and rushing at the bees.

The rest of the crew got out of the pool and got their weapons and got ready to do naked combat with bees. Bill however was unable to do much fighting. The stalwart warriors soon slew the might adversaries and strapped on their gear, ready to head towards the Forest Goro, to find the third of the 3 heros.


Chapter 13
Boren Dinel



The forces of might including the two parracks of the 3 heros fame. They were in the Forest Goro. All was calm and peace when all of a sudden the party was confronted by three rabid raccoon and and a big slug.

"Oh no! Ultra tuffians! We are doomed!" shouted Lonot.

"Thou arts in dire need of aid!" a voice of extreme tuffness shouted.

Suddenly a huge ape-like human, clad in beast furs appeared. He was armed with an extra mace.

"Look it's Boren Dinel!" shouted Jodung, "His tuffness will surly save us!"

With that Boren went into action. He flailed the extra maces about, crushing and cleaving alike. Soon it was just Boren and the Big Slug. The Big Slug attacked, but was Boren was to quik and he dodged the assult. Then it was Boren's turn to attack. He went with a double hit of extra mace, crushing the bones of this Big Slug, but this was no ordinary Big Slug, this was a carnivorous grand slammin' ultro big slug, of the most deadly type, so it was able to survive the assult.

"Damn it's a carnivorous grand slammin' ultro big slug!" Boren shouted, "Jodung! Jarrion! Your help would be much aprecsheated!"

With that the two parracks got ready to help their friend. Jodung whipped out a black-shafted spear, and Jarrion took out his mighty parrackian crossbow.

Jarrion readied a bolt in the bow and let it fly. The bolt flew strait and true, hitting its mark and buring itself deep in the side of the Big Slug's body.

Dark blood shot from the slug's body and formed a large pool of dark coloured blood on the ground.

Jodung then let a black-shafted spear loose from his hand and the spear flew throug the air, hitting the slug in the face. The slug let out a primative grunt and fell dead.

The party then regrouped. Cory looked at their savior. He was a man of about 6 feet, and his head was covered in dark hair. The man was dressed in hides and animal furs, and he was brandishing a set of extra maces. The man looked all around tuff.

"Hail friend!" Cory said.

"Hail! I am called Boren Dinel! What is your name?" the man asked.

"I am Cory Alwin Fife and these are my friends, Bodrena, Lonot, Tuck, Bill, Marilyn, Jodung, and Jarrion. This is Pepper, the mighty war beast of lore," Cory said.

"I have heard of thee," the hero of olden times said, "Thou art in need of my help."

"Yes, that's why we were walking through here. We were coming to visit you."

"Good! Let's us make haste back to my woodland fort!" said Boren.

The group walked a little while until they were at a small clearing. There was a small log building in the clearing, as well as a garden of fruit and vegetables. There was also a wooden training goon in the clearing.

As the party passed the goon on their way to the house Boren smashed the head off the goon with one blow from the set of extra mace.

The party was let into the house and all took seats around a table which was in the center of the log building.

The building was made out of logs and there was a table in it. Suddenly a huge lizard like creature appeared near the table.

"Eeehhhh! A monster!" Bill squealed.

"That's no monster. It's Mossie, my pet moschops," Boren said, "He is a beast of true tuffness."

"Oh," said Bill still in a frightened tone of voice.

"Anyway, why were you people looking for me?" asked Boren.

"We are on a quest to retrive the orbs and defeat Numalt," said Marilyn, "We have all the orbs but one, and it dwells deep in the ocean, were it is guarded by a sea monster named Lona."

"I shall help thee!" Boren said, "Let's make hastey haste of speed to the beach."

With that the group, now including Boren and Mossie, rushed towards the beach and the final orb. Cory only hoped that they weren't to late.


Chapter 14
Battle of the Citadel



The crew began their long walk to the beach. The trip was fairly univentful on the first day. On the second day the group walked near the human citadel of defense.

The building was under attack from orcs, and the tuffians known as bodungs.

"Friends we must help the human soldiers who are under assult!" shouted Cory.

"Aye we must help them!" shouted Tuck.

With that the force went into action. Tuck, Marilyn, and Jarrion got behind a fallen log and readied their projectiles. Lonot began speaking an incantation of lore. As he did Cory, Jodung, Bodrena, Bill, and Boren, not to mention Mossie and Pepper, began an assult on the assulters.

Mossie gouged and crushed orcs and bodungs alike under his massive feet that were equipped with claws that were razor sharp.

As Mossie ravaged, Tuck notched an arrow of red in his mighty bow and pulled back on the string.

"Tuck hits everything!" he yelled as he released the bowstring.

The arrow flew through the air and hit its mark strait and true, burying itself deep in the bodung captain's flesh with a sound not unlike that of a thunk.

Seeing their captain fall the orcs and bodungs became confused and stopped assulting the castle and began fleeing into the nearby woods, most never made their way into the woods though, because Mossie's might feet stopped them in their tracks.

Soon all orcs and bodungs were defeated, but the battle was not over yet. A troop of dark knights mounted on the dreaded might pigs still ravaged the citadel.

The crew of good guys saw the dark knights and rushed towards them.

Cory trust the lore sword into the forces of darkness, kill knight after knight. Each knight was equiped with a blade of black as well as a complete suit of blacked armor. The lore sword which was pure goodness easily cleaved right throught the evil armor, but the weapons of the others could barely put a dent in the evil protective gear.

Soon Cory had slain all of the evil knights and the citadel was no longer under assult.

The leader of the citadel came out of the building and onto the bloodied battle field. This man was clad in a suit of chain mail over which he wore a tunic bearing the logo of the High King.

"Hail friends!" he spoke.

"Hail knight of the old code," said Bodrena, "I see thou dost wear the logo of the High King. The same one who has not been seen for over three centuries."

"Aye, for it is only he who can save us," said the battle ravaged knight of the old code who was wielding a morning star.

"We are on our way to revive the High King and defeat the evil Numalt," said Cory.

"Then I shall delay thee no longer," said the knight, "Make haste, for all of Tennion depends on you!"

The group of heroes then proceded to the beach.

"We will have to stop at the small village of Eithan to purchase the mystical chemical oxayle. Oxayle is a chemical that was invented by the alchemist Zut Alor. It allows people to beathe under water like that of fishes and mer-folk," said Lonot.

"Do we have the funds?" asked Marilyn.

"Aye, friend Marilyn. I shall cover the charge," said Boren as he jinggled a large pouch filled with coins that hung from a belt on his waist.

Soon the party of adventurers were in the small fishing village of Eithan. They made their way to the general store. There they purchased several vials of the mystical chemical. Then went to the stable. At the stable they stabled all the animals they had, including Pepper and Mossie.

They then walked to the beach. All adventures were handed vials except for Bodrena, Lonot, and Marilyn who were to stay on guard on the beach.

They vials were drunken down and the heros swam down into the dark ocean.


Chapter 15
The Final Orb



The group of submariners made their way towards the deep sea lair of the sea monster Lona.

Fish of all sorts sawm about making the vision conditions poorer than the should have been in the crystal clear waters of Tennion's oceans.

Soon the group of travelers were at the lair of the sea monster. The beast however was asleep, with a huge fin rapped around the orb.

"We must get the orb from the fin," Jodung said, "Bill your skills are needed friend."

Bill sawm over to the beast and pryed the orb out of the monster's grasp. But dexterity was not occurring. The beast awoke and let out a might growl. Cory then realized that he would be fighting for his life and for all of Tennion.

"Weapons can not hurt this fiend!" shouted Boren, "Three heros we must forfill the prophecy!"

With that the three heros killed themselves and then their spirts formed into a mighty protector of the orb.

"Flee mortals," spoke the booming voice of Boren, "You have the orb now flee!"

"Come on guys let's get out of here!" shouted Cory.

As the group swam back to the surface Cory saw the protector and Lona kill each other simultaneously. The group returned to the surface now baring all of the orbs.

Cory spoke to Soiron, "I have all of the orbs! What must I do now?"

"You must return to the Relm of the Gods, where I will get the orbs from you and form the powerful High King of the lore," said the orb.

With that the party returned to their Pegasuses. As they mounted the beasts Cory noticed that the sky was almost completly darkened.

As they flew through Cloud Town on their way to the relm of the gods Cory heard Boren's voice loud and clear in his mind, "Take care of Mossie for me. He likes to eat turnips and beef."

"I will Boren," spoke Cory, "Take care of thy self."

Soon the group was at the relm of the gods. The group was escorted to the chamber of the high god Soiron.

Soiron looked different to Cory in person, he was the same shape as Cory had always seen him as only he was bigger and more transparent.

"Bring forth the orbs!" said Soiron.

Cory place the five orbs down infront of the god.

"Now I must say the words of power!" stated Soiron.

"UHT! UHT!" the god shouted in a booming voice. As he stated these might words there was a clap of thunder and the orbs exploded in a blaze that looked not unlike that of the item known as pyrotechniques to you or I (pyrotechniques are what make KISS the Detroit rockers famous).

The smoke cleared and where all excpected to see a mighty king of justice they saw only a crown.

"Our quest has failed!" Cory said in a disapointed voice.

"Tennion is doomed," spoke Tuck.

"At least we made a valient effort," said the wizard named Lonot.

The group's sorrow was crushed by Soiron's hearty laughter, "HA! HA! HA! I understand now! The king has been here all along!"

"Who? Who is our savior?" asked Bodrena.

" Tis Cory Alwin Fife!" stated the Life god as he place the crown on Cory's head, "All along he battled Numalt, weakening his forces. It is Cory who has unltimatly destroyed Numalt! Numalt ='s dead! Cory ='s High King of Tennion!"

Cory looked around his friends. They had done it. They had saved Tennion. Tennion was now a peace ridden place. If evil ever did appear in Cory's kingdom, however, he and his buddies would be ready to take care of the threat to Tennion, whatever the threat may be even if it is a more threatening threat then the one they had just won at. Cory ruled Tennion.
