M1 - Epilogue"My, my, you two took quite a beating," the Sorcerer commented as he lit his desk's candle. He eased back into his chair, after scooting away a few vials of unknown chemicals. Some rolled on the floor, only to stop when they lightly brushed against Mil's feet.The Zoroark had been attended do, bandaged until he almost looked like the result of a Cofagrigus' Mummy ability. He was sore from getting battered around by what he later learned was called the 'Minotauros'. With an exasperated sigh, he lifted his index and thumb from either side of the bridge of his nose."Regardless, you did a job well done," the Sorcerer chimed as he closed the dusty old tome he had pulled several days prior to the Test of Wisdom. And then he frowned. "Have you spoken to Arthur at all since you've returned?"Mil shook his head no. "No, I havenae..." he added in dismally. There was a deep frown carved on his features as he became lost in a thought train. He leaned against the wagon's door frame. "Sor

From above, chunks of rock began to fall, cratering the ground on impact. One nearly crushed Arthur, spearing the pedestal instead.Panicked, the fox darted over to Mil, cowering between his legs. The older vulpine scooped him up, taking a moment to assess their situation; it was rather easy to discern what was happening. The place was falling apart."Did we pick the wrong one?" Arthur squeaked desperately, holding the quill tight. It was the only thing he could do at this point."Dinnae ask me," Mil breathed back as he lowered his form and rushed for the wall that had opened up. Light poured in, flashing, lightning and thunder crashing, the outside!The Eevee stole a glance over the Zoroark's shoulder, looking on in horror as the other two pedestals were destroyed by falling boulders. Flashes of light illuminated the dark space, and he could have sworn th
