Epilogue Part 1

This part is just a lot of text. I'm not going to comment on it. It's the standard RPG wrap up text that tries to make sense of the nonsensical story you've just lived through.

I know, I know

It's been a while, I apologize. As you've seen, I did beat the game. I have actually started Final Fantasy 2 as well. I have yet to post the epilogue of Final Fantasy, and then I will start in on the posts for number 2.

The battle for our lives!

This was it. The power behind the fiends. The demon behind the wasting of the world. The really bad guy we wanted to beat. Chaos!



He had access to crazy spells we had never seen or heard of. Like this crazy firestorm.






Or this bone chilling blizzard.



And a tornado that beat us back.







It's like he had masterful control over all of the elements.

He rained down lightning upon us.



And sent an earthquake to shake us to our very foundations. Notice that Blinky had succumbed to an earlier attack.



He was even able to take multiple hits from our most powerful spell: Inky's "Flare".









But finally. After throwing nearly ever spell and nearly every ounce of strength at him something in the cosmos snapped.



Chaos was defeated!









Peace and tranquility was restored.

The final level and the final enemy

We stepped down in to the stygian depths of the Temple of Chaos.



We walked into the central chamber and came face to face with...



Someone familiar...




Our old foe Garland! What was he doing 2000 years in the past?



That caused us to take a step back.



And now the James Bond villian syndrome begins...











Okay, that looks ominous and ungood for us.



Not good!



He's talking crazy. But that just makes him all the more scary (not to mention that he just transformed himself into a giant demonic creature).

One more fiend again

After picking up the masamune we headed towards the next stairway. Blocking our way was the multiheaded dragon Tiamat.



We tried to poison the dastardly dragon numerous times



It finally worked and we were able to continue our quest.

Ooo, even more shiny

In nearly the deepest depths of the dungeon we found a long hallway.



We followed all the way to the end where we found a treasure chest all alone.




Inside we found the Masamune sword, the "Mightiest Sword of All"



We decided to let Blinky use it since Clyde already had Excalibur, which is no slouch of a sword.

More fiendish Fiends

Down another level and we stepped up to another stair case.



Yep, you guessed it. Marilith stood in our way.




Bye, bye, Fiend of Fire.



The next floor of the dungeon brought us to an ominous hallway.



Kraken!! (This is who defeated us earlier.)



Again, we defeated our foe.

A blast from...in...the past

I almost forgot, we had to fight the big, evil Death Eye before we reached the evil plate in the ground.



On our way down we reached Level 30.




A couple of floors deeper we came upon a stair surrounded by pillars.



As we stepped closer to the stairs who should leap out of the shadows but Lich! How could this be? We defeated Lich long ago. But wait! Was that long ago or a long time in the future? Of course, we were 2000 years in the past. Lich, and the other fiends, were bound to be still alive back in this age.



Lich was dispatched without too much effort.

Through the floor

We came upon a room with a couple of chests and a stone plate. The stone plate seemed to be not nice.



What's that odd feeling that something like this has happened before? Is that deja vu?

But we had a hunch that in this case the old adage of "music sooths the savage beast" would hold true. We looked in our packs to see if we had anything that would help us.



Of course, the Lute! I didn't mention it at the time as it seemed such a stupid gift for the service we had rendered. But when we rescued Princess Sarah she gave us her prized lute as a thank you. Amazingly enough that insignificant gift turned out to be one of the most important events in our quest. Thank you Princess Sarah, thank you.


So we played the apparently magical lute...



...and the stone disappeared and revealed a ladder to the lower dungeons.



Spooky!
Soon after that we gained another level, this time it was 28.



And not long after that we gained level 29. This dungeon was almost as lucrative than that power leveling peninsula so long ago.
