Epilogue Part II

orcall, Kurt and other companions showed McBykar, that friendship was the most worthy goal to reach. Also crazy events, roleplaying and funny adventures welt together the friendships, as McBykar, Kurt and Sorcall decided to found an own guild: The Pilgrims.

The number of members grew to ten, and that was not too few and not too many. All members except one knew themselves in real life, so we also could rely on each other in Britannia. We had a lot of fun, as we finally placed the guildstone in our little house.

McBykar invested a lot of time in the guild, and finally we organized the first official membership ritual for all of us: The Banana Run to the Dragon Shrine. The object was to run naked to the shrine in Despise and return to the entrance alive. It was not easy, and one had to be tricky with running and hiding, and also very lucky to pass the Run.

The celebration of the guild foundation took place on scorpion island. We organized a nice picnic with scorpion barbecue. A bath in the cool sea water and a who-can-cast-fast firewall game kept us busy for some hours.
All in all The Pilgrims was a great team to have fun with and do crazy things. Without any rules or laws.

McBykar now had experienced many things. Weddings, funerals, boat trips and many more. But one thing still was new for him...

Then came the day of destiny for McBykar, as he met ShadowGal, the most beautiful woman of Vesper. His thoughts were disturbed, his mind was tangled. He just wasn't able to think clearly anymore.
His friends, especially Kurt, were watching him with sorrow as he finally lost his heart to the young lady.

ShadowGal was charming and always had some nice words ready, so McBykar even ignored that Kurt also had thrown an eye on her. Suddenly McBykar was seen more often in Vesper, than in Trinsic, his home town. He wrote poems and couldn't sleep anymore. How would all this end?

Well, it ended sad: ShadowGal finally told McBykar, that her heart was beating for Kurt. This news broke McBykars heart. Totally down and frustrated he lost control about himself. Blindd the silent was so full of sorrow, that he talked to McBykar and invited him for a drink at the Vesper tavern, to forget all the sorrow and pain. But it didn't help. McBykar was feeling ill and poisoned, and the offer of ShadowGal to stay friends didn't help. He said: "It's always the same with women. First they tear out your heart, then they want to stay friends with you!"

Finally McBykar died while his friends were desperately trying to help him. But his destiny was not, to die by a broken heart, but to find out more about the strange news he was receiving about Mad Biker's grave. So a healer in Moonglow brought McBykar back to life, so he could continue his quest.
All friends were relieved about the turn, and tried to help him as good as they could.
