- THE
- CONCLUSION
- OF
- THE
- GOLDENFELL
- STORY
- -
Goldenfell
- should
- have
- been
- a
- land
- at
- peace.
- The
- Xarlerii
- invaders
- had
- been
- destroyed
- and
- the
- kingdom’s
- former
- enemies,
- the
- Skellan
- Elves,
- were
- now
- integrating
- into
- Goldenfell’s
- society
- after
- helping
- to
- eliminate
- their
- common
- foe.
- Thomaline
- and
- Brandt
- had
- wanted
- to
- concentrate
- on
- other
- issues
- as
- the
- land
- was
- supposedly
- free
- from
- danger,
- but
- three
- problems
- were
- now
- developing.
- Someone
- called
- the
- 'River
- Lord',
- was
- sending
- messages
- to
- Thomaline
- and
- that
- person
- was
- from
- the
- other
- side
- of
- the
- Ward
- that
- protected
- the
- elves
- and
- their
- land.
- This
- was
- someone
- who
- clearly
- knew
- of
- the
- hidden
- kingdom’s
- existence,
- and
- no
- one
- knew
- what
- danger
- he
- might
- pose.
- It
- had
- also
- been
- learned
- that
- the
- former
- Councilor
- Mendeth,
- a
- murderer
- who
- had
- betrayed
- Thomaline,
- Brandt
- and
- Goldenfell
- and
- who
- had
- escaped
- before
- the
- battle
- with
- the
- Xarlerii,
- was
- in
- hiding
- and
- plotting
- his
- revenge.
- Thirdly,
- there
- were
- the
- ambitions
- of
- the
- prince
- of
- the
- Skellan
- Elves.
- Prince
- Cathos
- had
- not
- settled
- into
- a
- peaceful
- existence
- within
- the
- fortress
- of
- Goldenspire.
- He
- could
- not
- accept
- that
- Brandt,
- a
- mere
- Man,
- could
- be
- the
- Consort
- to
- the
- Queen.
- The
- prince
- was
- now
- scheming
- to
- remove
- Brandt
- by
- any
- mean
- necessary
- as
- he
- wanted
- Thomaline
- for
- himself.
- Three
- separate
- problems,
- but
- how
- were
- they intertwined?
