+ | After drinking from the well, Rastik led Paul to his armor and then offered himself up for Paul to draw power from. Paul killed Rastik to activate the [[Ironkeeper]]s to face the army of the light that had started attacking the city. Paul entered the battle and defeated [[Kraisis]], using his soul to raise more drull to fight for the dark. Feotora then insisted on fighting Paul, but was wounded and retreated with the light's army. After the battle, Paul was drawn to a courtroom on [[Earth]] where he was taken into custody by police who believed him to have been holding [[Lin Yang-Tanasin]] and the other people in the room hostage. He was dragged from the courtroom, powerless.{{book ref|do1|4}} |
