Both magical arts are forbidden for warriors to learn and if anyone finds out, then Flare will die slowly and horribly.With armies massing to the south and east, the king charges Flare with a secret and vital mission. He orders Flare to the catacombs under Mount Ogular to retrieve Ossendar, the sword of the last member of the Dragon Order.Flare takes his squad of soldiers and heads south, amazed by his mission. Not only is Ossendar supposed to be a powerful weapon, but it's also one of the identifiers that the Kelcer Prophecy uses to describe the coming destroyer. Kelcer prophesied in explicit terms of the horrors that the restorer of the Dragon Order would do; one of the first signs of the destroyer is that he will wield Ossendar.
