You remove the talisman and toss it away. It shatters as soon as it hits the ground, and from it you see a dark mist burst out. The mist curls upwards before vanishing.

The dragon's voice booms.

“I see your heart, human. Very well, I shall tell you what needs be done. Listen well.”

“The false king has hidden himself from me, and I cannot overcome him, trapped as I am in this cave. He has secreted away his true name in puzzles I cannot reach. Uncover his name and take it to the beginning. Reject him thrice, and then speak his name to the wind.”

The dragon closes its eyes. Suddenly, a rip in space opens before you. Through it, you see the throne room where you began your quest.

“Go.”

THE END
