A long time ago, the hero Balthazar sealed Morddred in an item called the Banshee's Heart. Your task is to find the Banshee's Heart and seal him away again.

"You grip your sword as you enter Morddred's throne room where you find Morddred, his back turned to you as he stares out of a large window.

'Magnificent, isn't it? All of En is mine. Now that I've burnt it all to the ground I will rebuild it in my own image,' he turns around revealing an emaciated, greying face covered in scars. His eyes are wide and bloodshot glinting with insanity. Morddred draws his large battle axe.

'Look at you. The Chosen One here to defeat me. Laughable. Tell me, Hero, do you know what it's like to be trapped in a spacial void for 100 years? Your physical body is destroyed. Your mind does not perceive. Even pain is a gift when you can't feel anything. Soon you will know this suffering. When I have beaten you to the point that you beg me for mercy I will grant it by sealing you away in the Banshee's Heart. Then, with the people's hopes destroyed by your defeat, no one will stand in my way. En shall truly be mine! Ready, Hero? LET'S GO!'"

When The Final Scene ends:
	say "Morddred looks up at you defiantly. 'You think you've defeated me?' he gasps, spitting out blood, 'I'll return, and when I do, I'll be back with more power and fury than you will be able to handle! HAHAHAHA!' 

Pulling out the Banshee's Heart, you look Morddred in his eyes. 

'How's this for power and fury?!' you yell as you activate the Banshee's Heart! With a scream Morddred, disappears into the depths of the heart! Then you raise it above your head and thrust it to the ground where it shatters into a million pieces! Morddred is no more.

You return as all heroes do: walking triumphantly over the horizon in the wake of a rising sun. The people of En throw you a grand party. For the first time in a long time people laugh and dance and make merry. At the feast that night, Isabella stands before the crowd and addresses the people:

'People of En! Thanks to the Chosen One, Morddred is gone forever. But this is only the beginning of our labors. Morddred has left our lands ravaged and dead. It will take a long time to make it fertile once more. That is where we come in. Through hard work we can rise from the ashes and be great again! Tomorrow a new age begins! Now feast! There are steaks and ribs for everyone, deliciously seasoned and barbecued!' A cheer rises from the crowd. 

You look out at the crowd and your eyes fall on a small group of familiar faces. It's Balthazar standing with...your family! Balthazar smiles at you and your family waves and blows you kisses. Then they fade away into the air. You smile knowing their souls can finally rest in peace.

The End.";
