11. After Damien returned to Naurorod, he spoke with the Clan Elders of Mirza and all that had transpired. The Elders were unanimous in their agreement - Mirza must pay. Gathering a great portion from each Clan, the Elders (save for Charminei, Alexian, and Damien) set out to go crush Mirza.

Summer, Year 1002

12. Meanwhile, Mirza had taken a personal trip to Flux and spoke with a priestess, Dreamwarp, there, asking for divinations. He found that Soahc is very pleased with all the mayhem he had spread, and the next choice of destination should be Naurorod - which is where the vast majority of his forces are headed!

13. A great fight was wrought in Naurorod at Clan Fira, between the ragtag remains of the their clan and Clan Char against the massive amount of Fire and Water types rallying for Mirza's cause. Though the casualties ran high, the clans were triumphant in driving off their attackers. Meanwhile, the army of the Fires arrived at Mirza's camp only to find 10 people there, who had little to no idea of what had become of their leader. After they dispatched of the small group, the army hurried home as fast as they could.

14. After the defeat at Fira, Mirza is teleported near Ilyamen then completely abandoned by Raphael. After pulling himself together, Mirza sets out for the foot of the mountain near Flux to await his army. Once the army arrives, he departs for Naurorod to challenge Damien.

15. While the remainder of Mirza's army is away, a small portion lingers in Maelstrom and is run into by a group of one signs, lead by a man named Zlatan, which intends to bring an end to the attempted genocide. After a difficult battle, the one signers win and take one of the followers, Evan, to the capital of Caelium for questioning. The questioning reveals to Shadow that Mirza is headed to Naurorod. After receiving that news, Shadow instructs the Mind named Locke to send that information to Damien before setting out himself.

16. Mirza has arrived in Naurorod but has yet to confront the Fires. However, he mentions having something that he is convinced will turn the tide of battle in his favor.

17. A final battle occured in Clan Lhach Linnod of Naurorod. Damien and Mirza squared off one on one while the fights raged on. There was plenty of death and injuries on both sides of the war, but Naurorod came out triumphant as Damien and his niece Ann finish off Mirza, while the clansfolk triumph over the army!

THE SINGLE-SIGNS ARE SAFE! NAUROROD HAS WON THE WAR!
