=== The Prophecy===
Ravencaster would show up in Xanadu and and take over Xanadu castle. The king and his men rushed into the ballroom to confront Ravencaster and found they had walked into a trap. Ravencaster had enchanted the room in the short time he was in it so that the king's men were powerless to stop Ravencaster from killing the king. Ravencaster scoffed at the king's foolishness and recanted a prophecy that had come to him in a vision:
"I have already seen the coming fire, My dear King.
Even if I do not end you here, your days are numbered.
You will die, just like the ones who have come before you and the ones who will come after you.
The most feared yet revered shall tread this Earth once more.
Defeated once, but not twice, the most loyal servant shall cement his place upon this Earth.
Four fragments shall scatter across the Earth, penetrable only by the sword you hold most sacred.
The sins of man shall be relished in, for it is only our nature.
A new age shall be born, the Age of Artheemius!"
Ravencaster then approached the king, placing a finger upon his forehead preparing to finish him, when calamity
struck Ravencaster. Ravencaster toppled over, dead, for age had finally caught up to the man. In Ravencaster's haste he had refused to acknowledge he was ill and now, he lay dead. Bukoski, having just been spared from death by a fortunate turn of events nearly whited out. The Kingdom of Harracktor had avoided disaster only by fortunate timing. The threat of Ravencaster was gone, but the prophecy he had delivered was something to ponder.
