Merlin the wizard takes out the Time Key. The Curator of the Llafair Museum declares,"Ye shall return to this reality when thou hath finished thy Quest, die an unpredictable death or use a Return Key which I hope ye have been both wise to take and Equip.".
After being beat down by the larger than life creature Merlin appears in the portal again with a flagrant smile trying to show 'someone' he was not phased by what happened.
All this time Krusten observed but did not interfere but she was curious so she approaches the man. "Merlin is it? I think we have met before in the tavern. Are you alright? I witnessed the creature take you down and now you are here again!"
Dusting off his clothes he looks up at the woman and grins, "Yes, I was doing a test, pay no mind to that lost it was all just part of an elaborate illusion that the librarian wanted me to participate in."
Seeing no one else and nothing coming towards her she takes out the key for a return to her own world. She thinks about her armies and that there may be something else coming that will involve some preparation.
