"This necklace has always belonged to the protector of what is good and just in the kingdom. Now, it belongs to you."

Soon, new grass would poke through, and memories of the battle would recede into the past. But Eriene knew this was not the end. This dragon lay slain in the Yonderland.

A Evil can easily be defeated.
