Spellbinder1995

Correon:
Impossible. The fools. It was the Spellbinders themselves who caused the Darkness, not the Marauders!

Paul Reynolds:
What?

Correon:
The old Spellbinders were trying to increase their powers, but something went wrong. Listen. "Moments after the experiment began, the earth convulsed. Cracks appeared in the ground and mountains of fire arose."

Paul Reynolds:
Earthquakes and volcanoes. That's why your world is so different from mine. Go on.

Correon:
"The sky was black with clouds and the sun disappeared. The trees began to die."

Paul Reynolds:
It sounds like a nuclear winter. In my world, people learned how to turn fireworks into bombs. One bomb can destroy a whole castle. And nuclear bombs a million times more powerful.

Correon:
[whispers] Madness.

Paul Reynolds:
If enough of these went off, they would blow so much dust into the atmosphere that it would block out the sun. It would cause a winter that would last for years and all the animals and trees would die. That's what the old Spellbinders must've done.

Correon:
They were arrogant fools. Like Ashka!

Paul Reynolds:
And Ashka already knows how to turn fireworks into bombs.

Correon:
Then she must not be allowed to learn the secret of making gunpowder. We must find a way of sending you home.
