As he turns around, you almost go into shock. The prisoner is no other than
the king him self! But your highness, you ask, why have you played this joke
on me? I have nearly died many times and all to serve you well, and you in
return sent me to far away lands where I could have been killed eternally
were it not by the healer at the Alchemist Temple who kept retrieving my body.
"Silence!" --He commands you-- "The Royal Guards will come if they hear you
have come to my rescue." Rescue from what? you ask, now a little tired of his
game. "FROM KHALAL HIMSELF!" he answers. "Some time ago --he begins to tell
you-- I ruled over all of the lands in the world. Everybody was happy and I
ruled with wisdom and justice. When our population grew too big for our city,
I ordered the construction of cities to the North, East, and West of here. But
eventually this was not enough, so I ordered to begin construction of cities
on the South countries of the land. One day, as the builders were digging in
what is now know as the Land Of Eternal Confusion, a body was unearthed. It
was about 2 and 1/2 meters tall and was like nothing we had ever seen before.
When the group of builders who unearthed the body touched it, they became
strange creatures... some became Evil's Shadows, others Elementals, many others
Insectoids. As time passed, they mutated into many other forms and spirits.
One of them served as the way for the dead body to channel its wraith. After
the first appearance, the constructions were abandoned by everyone. It was
only then that I was told by my advisors of such transformations. I sent most
of my guards to try to kill this mutations, but the more we killed, the more we
found. The group of gosts on charge of the other mutations are known as the
Wraiths of Khalal. One of such wraiths, their leader, adopted a human form
and transformed itself into a mirror image of my own. It quickly took control
of the castle and placed me in this jail so that I could not stop their plans
to awaken Khalal. The Wraith-King could not kill me because I carry this
medallion given to me by the wise men of the towns to protect me against their
evil powers. Without, I would have died long ago."
"The wraith of Khalal sitting at the palace can easily be killed, as long as it
does not have the things it needs to awaken Khalal: AN EVIL PRIEST'S CASSOCK,
A MAGNETIC ROD, A MAGIC ORB, A SPEAR OF FEAR, THE SKULL OF ODIN, AN UNHOLY BOOK
OF RITES, THE SILENT OCARINA, A GOLDEN GOBLET, AND INCENSE FROM THE MISTERIOUS
SWAMPS. It should be no problem getting this town back in order."
You nearly fainted as the list of items needed to awaken Khalal has been
provided to the Wraith of Khalal by no other than you! How could I have been
so fool? --You ask your self-- "It may not be too late yet," the King answers
you... "If you could find the ceremonial place before the awakening, you can
prevent it from ever happenning." You agree that it would be the least you
can do. After this, you free him and he leaves.
