After the blow of Jake, The Horned King, was near the cauldron already. The Horned King tried to stand up. If anyone would want to attack The Horned King again, they were held back by Taran, who motioned everyone to stay back. This was because The Horned King was standing too close to the Cauldron, within mere seconds after he stood up the bag of bones was sucked inside of the Black Cauldron. "NO! This can't be happening!!! NOOOO!!!" The Horned King shouted as he was consumed by the cauldron... the wind stopped. Taran headed towards the cauldron.

Eilonwy went to Thomas. "You are a mage right? Can you unfreeze Hen Wen? I'll go look if Taran is okay." she said and headed to the cauldron of which Taran just grabbed the lifeless body of Gurgi out of. He sat with the ball of fur in his arms, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Why did he do this? He was our friend." Taran said, not trying to burst into crying. It was silent, until a deep, echoing voice spoke.

"You warriors have been very brave." the cauldron suddenly spoke. "For this, I shall return the heart of your little friend that still dwells within me." it said. A [url=http://www.khwiki.net/images/2/2f/A_Heart_Consumed_by_Darkness_01_KH.png]heart[/url] rose out of the cauldron and went into Gurgi's chest. After a few moments the fur ball opened its eyes again. "I'm hungry." his first words were. Taran was overjoyed, so were Eilonwy and Fflewddur. Eilonwy headed to Taran and hugged him. Gurgi, who had climbed on Taran's head, pushed the heads of Taran and Eilonwy together for a kiss.

Fflewdurr in the meantime headed towards Thomas, Jake and the now freed Hen Wen. "We couldn't have done it without you two of course." he said, checking the harp to see if it didn't break. It didn't so, it was a truth.

Belle was the first one who wanted to leave the scene, when suddenly the two girls arrived. "And here I was, wanting to do some shopping with the girls." Belle joked. "I don't actually like shopping." she added afterwards. After listening to Ascot, Oner and Joshua give their replies to the girls, she thought that Oner might be getting ahead of himself. She touched his shoulder. "They don't seem like people who can take your way of speaking, unlike Ascot's friendly approach which is easy to counter." she turned her head to Ascot. "No offense though." Belle turned her head to Oner again. "Fighting them won't do anything good. Defending the others and ourselves is main priority. I don't think we want any troubles in this town." she said. "And here I was thinking we could have some rest at this place." she said under her breath.

After the two girls had responded to the guys, the black-haired girl summoned a barrier around Ascot and the blonde-haired girl who in turn summoned a guan-dou, a Chinese martial arts weapon. Belle didn't want to interfere. She knew that Ascot always wants to prove himself in fight, he deserves this fight, although it didn't seem like a friendly one. But it also didn't seem like the blonde-haired girl had any intentions to kill Ascot. Belle walked to the black-haired girl. "Your sis, friend or whatever she is, doesn't have the intention to kill him, does she?" she asked for confirmation. If what she thought was true she could relax and watch the fight, on a nearby bench. Otherwise she might had to interfere if a death blow could be placed.
