War of the Gods

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 10791

Meanwhile, Charles Ranier was watching. He regretted about having to lie to them, especially Exotica. But he had to. They couldn't possibly understand what was really going on.

So the Elementals decided to destroy Aqualaria after all, he thought. That didn't surprise him. The Elementals didn't care for the people of Aqualaria. They just lorded it over them, without any care for the people under their thumb. Charles knew this, as he was one of them, once.

He remembered all those years ago, when he had been an Elemental, just like the rest of them, lording it over the people of Aqualaria and consuming the essence of the people that were sacrificed to them.

He could be just a madman, albiet a dangerous one, or a serious threat to everything. He knew he had to stop Kharven, for he could take many lives.

But he also knew that he could turn this situation to his advantage. So he had sent Fred, Astra, Velus, and Exotica to Aqualaria to find the Stone of Destiny. But he had sent them at a point after Kharven would have enough power to enter the temple.

For, once Kharven had breached the temple, Charles would have pulled the Stone of Destiny out to his Tower. The reason that the Elementals kept the Stone so heavily guarded was that it was the only thing that could kill them. And that was just what he intended to do.
