Sprite looks at him, "Ready to go?" 
Vidar hesitated, "Yeah. I think so."
As they continue walking they try to locate the third and final conduit. After a few hours of walking through Twin Peaks, they eventually find it. 
Vidar looks in awe, "This is it. The third conduit that will lead us to the heart of the Griffonborn." 
Sprite looks around cautiously and says, "Be careful. There could be danger here."
Suddenly Xenon shows himself.
"Well well well, if it isn't my young Griffonborn. I've been watching you," he laughs. Xenon sits on the conduit looking at them from atop. 
Vidar looks angered but Sprite reassures Vidar from within, "Stay calm Vidar, keep a clear head." 
Vidar nods silently. 
Xenon continues, "It's been a long time since I saw you two." 
"What do you want?" Vidar says firmly. 
Xenon says with a grin, "You two are the only ones that have the power to excite me and make me feel truly alive." 
He then stands up and hovers towards Vidar, "Let's make a deal, I'll grant you both power beyond your imagination, you just have to follow my command." Xenon then licks his lips and laughs maniacally.
Vidar says, "The only deal that I'll make is you setting my sister free and turning yourself in to the Nariku Knights." 
Xenon grins and licks his lips, "How fascinating, I like your ambition," he mockingly pouts looking at Vidar, "but sadly that's not possible." 
Vidar narrows his eyes, "What do you mean it's not possible?" 
Xenon starts laughing maniacally and lunges towards Vidar to attack him using a sharp Water Echo blade aimed towards Vidars shoulder.
"Now, you'll agree to my offer or die here."
Vidar, angry at Xenon's attempt to attack, summons a powerful force of wind that throws Xenon back and forms a large wind wall to protect himself. 
"I'll never agree to your terms, you monster!" He screams. 
Xenon charges back at Vidar but is blocked by a strong gust of wind. Xenon creates multiple clones of himself and uses his feet to form a drill made of ice that dives into the ground. The clones of Xenon all dash forward to try and attack Vidar through the wind wall. As the clones close in on Vidar he unleashes a powerful blast of wind that blows the clones away. Xenon comes through the ground from underneath Vidars feet and grabs ahold of him and begins to use his Ice Echo ability to restrain him. Xenon then begins a chant to bind Vidar's power within him and looks directly into Vidar's eyes.
"I won."
While inside Vidars mind Sprite says, "He has another thing coming for him. Let your body go still Vidar." 
He relaxed his body and his eyes began to glow blue. Vidar creates five different clones of himself and starts to rain lightning bolts down on Xenon. Xenon produces a clone of himself and jumps back as he evaporates into thin air with a laugh. One of the lightning bolts strikes the final conduit, destroying it. The five clones then shoot lightning bolts out in every direction.
Vidar, now out of breath and exhausted from using his Lightning Echo ability, says, "That was too close, are you okay?" 
Sprite responds seriously, "I'm alright, but this will be the last time that I use that before you are ready. We need to get you trained properly with your lightning as well as all of the other Echo elements if you are going to master being a Griffonborn." 
Sprite uses Fire Echo ability to partly heal Vidars fatigue and then smiles brightly. 
"Thank you Sprite, I'll take your advice and start training to be the best Griffonborn I can be." 
Sprite says, "Great, now let's head back to the temple. I think we have destroyed all the conduits now." 
Vidar nods, "Yes, Let's go." 
As the two travel back to Akaris, they overlook a wide open field stretching far and wide. Vidar can't help but marvel at the sheer beauty of the scene. 
Sprite looks up at Vidar and smiles, "Today was a success." 
"Has the spell been broken?" Vidar asks Akaris after they arrive at the Rift Temple.
Akaris says, "Only one way to find out my young Griffonborn. Head over to the capital of Rakoth where the village leader is." 
Vidar and Sprite look at each other and set off on their journey towards the capital. Eventually they arrive at the capital and look for Aegir. When they find and greet him, he doesn't speak.
"Are you feeling okay?" asked Vidar.
Aegir stays quiet and doesn't talk while a small ball of darkness comes out of him. Sprite senses something is wrong.
Sprite says, "Oh boy, somethings coming." 
Vidar had been on this quest to save Aegir from the curse that had befallen him, something that has seemed to take a very long time. The ball was the Orb of Darkness, a powerful artifact that was said to hold the key to breaking any curse. Vidar knew that he had found what he was looking for. As Vidar goes to reach for the Orb of Darkness a giant Griffin, a size Vidar has never seen before, jumps out of the orb. The Griffin roared and extended its wings and claws, ready to fight. 
Vidar takes a fighting stance and shouted in a powerful voice, "I will not allow you to torment Aegir's mind anymore!" 
Vidar created a huge ball of Earth Echo energy and lunged at the Griffin. The Griffin is now angry so he shoots small condensed darts of Void Echo energy towards Vidar. Vidar manages to dodge each one and gets close to the Griffin.
"Do not let any of these orbs hit you Vidar, they have a unique ability where if they touch you it'll damage your soul!" Sprite shouts.
Vidar acknowledges the warning and begins to focus. He concentrates and his body glows with a bright white light. Sprite senses what Vidar is attempting to do because of their connection with each other. Sprite can hear Vidars thoughts in real time and helps him channel the Echo energy inside him, as well as amplify Vidars powers. Sprite casts a spell that binds the Echo energies into a shield protection, blocking any incoming attacks from the Griffin. Angered by this, the Void Griffin lunges towards Vidar, thrusting its talons at Vidar only to be repelled by the shield. Vidar then waves his right hand and rocks start to circle his hands forming a protective dome around himself and the Griffin. The Griffin then tries to break the dome but fails again and again. Sharp branches begin to materialize in Vidars other hand and he shoots it towards the Griffin. The branches manage to hit the Griffin and weaken it, even more enraged by this the Griffin flys up and, cloaking itself in Void Echo energy, starts to spin, drilling through Vidars protective shield while shooting laser beams at Vidar. Vidar, forming another shield in front of himself, manages to protect him from the beam while the dome around him starts to break. Seeing that the Griffin might soon penetrate the dome, Vidar then quickly, in sync with Sprite, launches a fire induced fist of flaming Echo energy right at the Griffin's head, overpowering him and the Griffin collapses. With the Griffin defeated, Vidar and Sprite catch their breath in relief. Aegir is now freed from the affliction and comes to his senses. 
Aegir, confused, says, "Who are you? What happened to me?" 
Vidar In a welcoming and calm manner says, "My name is Vidar. Do you remember anything of what happened to you?" 
Aegir says, "All I can remember is a guy saying that he'd be a better fit to rule in my place. When I asked him who he was he referred to me as a mortal and him to be some kind of god." 
Surprised, both Vidar and Sprite look at each other and then back to Aegir. 
"Did he say what his name was?" Vidar asked.
"He said his name was Xenon, does that ring any bells to you?" 
"Yes, I know of Xenon. That son of a biscuit eater is the guy who kidnapped my sister Reya." 
"Can you remember anything else about him?" asks Sprite. 
Aegir says, "I am so sorry that's happened to you, but this is all of the information I know about. If there's anything that I can do that can be of service please let me know." 
Vidar says determinedly, "I just need information about the whereabouts of Xenon. He always seems to be one step ahead of everything I try to do and I keep missing him."
Aegir says, "I did hear a while ago that a mysterious figure keeps popping up in Imoy, but I warn you, that village is very dangerous."
Vidar and Sprite both look at Aegir with a mixture of fright and awe in their eyes. 
"I appreciate the warning," says Vidar. 
Sprite, so that only Vidar hears him, says, "Let's look for him in some other areas. We should go to a less dangerous village to see if we can find him." 
Vidar nods his head in agreement before turning back to Aegir. 
"Thanks for the warning, Aegir." 
Aegir smiled and said "No need to thank me." 
Vidar while inside his mind speaks to Sprite and says, "We should head back to the Pyro Myrtle Tavern to see how Jeremy is." 
Sprite nods his head in agreement and the two of them begin to make their way back to the tavern to see if they have any information regarding the mysterious figure.
