Locations/Replays:
- Temple of the Light - cannot be replayed
«Scene: The Hero, holding Book of Lore, and Zorbak, stand in front of the place where the Ancient Dragon Tome used to be - the lowest floor of the Light Temple.»
Hero: Whew… that's all of the pages! Ready, Book of Lore?
Book of Lore: Yup! Mmmmmm… those pages were delicious!
Book of Lore: Are you sure you want to hear this, though? It contains secrets no human should know.
«The Hero shakes the Book of Lore.»
Hero: Yes!!
Book of Lore: OK! OK!… the Tome was entitled: The Elemental Planes: LIGHT vs DARKNESS
Hero: Sounds cliché.
Zorbak: Meh… yeah. I'm bored. Let's get a Pizza.
Book of Lore: WHAT!? Do you realize that this contains the secrets to our universe, Vordred, Artix, and… and….
Zorbak: Does it tell me how to get 15% off a X-tra large pan pizza with everything on it?
Hero: I did just battle 20 floors of undead… Pizza sounds pretty good right now.
Book of Lore: Hey! THIS IS SERIOUS! Do you want to know the secret behind Vordred or not!?
Hero: …. Yes.
Book of Lore: Very well then… The Elemental Planes: LIGHT vs DARKNESS.

«Scene: The Hero, the Book of Lore, and Zorbak, all silhouetted, look at a bunch of floating, glowing orbs meant to represent the Elemental Planes.»
«The base of the model is an hourglass shape, and is glowing yellow-ish white. Multiple rings surround the center of the hourglass shape, all also glowing yellow-ish white. Orbiting on these yellow rings are orbs representing the Elemental planes of Fire, Water, Wind, Metal, Earth, and Energy. On the top of the hourglass is an orb representing the Elemental plane of Light, and on the bottom of the hourglass is an orb representing the Elemental plane of Darkness.»
Book of Lore: Before there were Loremasters to write history, this world was chosen to be the battlegrounds for the planes of Fire, Water, Wind, Metal, Earth, Energy, Light and Darkness.
Zorbak: Yeah, yeah… everyone knows about the 8 elements.
Book of Lore: Every 100 years the Masters of the Elemental planes bring a champion into the world.
Hero: A Champion? What would one of these elemental Champions do?
Book of Lore: Well, each elemental has a different goal. Some want to keep balance. Some want to increase their presence. Some… want to win.
«The floating model of the Elemental planes disappears.»
Zorbak: Booooooooring….
Hero: Wait. Win? How does an element win?
Book of Lore: Well, for example, the plane of Darkness is currently trying to engulf our entire world in darkness, then add our world to its own.
Hero: I see. Like one country conquering another… but instead of a country, they want our entire plane of reality?
Book of Lore: Yes. The Champion of Darkness was sent here to wipe out all life on our world and do just that.
Zorbak: Meh, okay…. NOW this is getting interesting.
Hero: So is Vordred, the Paladin Slayer, the Champion of Darkness?
Book of Lore: No. Not yet at least. Vordred needs to do something before he can become the Champion of Darkness.
Hero: Does Vordred need to slay the Champion of Light?
«Artix runs into the room.»
Artix: Greetings and salutations!
Hero: ARTIX!?!?
Zorbak: ARTIX!?!?
Artix: Good to see you too! But, awww man, why did you not wait for me to slay the Dracolich?
Hero: How did you get here?
Artix: I snuck out of prison to battle Vordred and the tunnel took me straight here.
Hero: I have so many questions… first…
«A Dracolich attacks Artix, grabbing him with its skeletal mouth.»
Zorbak: MEH! Another Dracolich!
«Artix is hanging upside down from the mouth of the Dracolich.»
Artix: FINALLY!!!!!!! I GET TO BATTLE UNDEAD IN DOOMWOOD TOO!!!!!!
Hero: Don't worry Artix, I will get you down from there.
Artix: No wait! Please. Can I get this one?
Hero: What is with you and battling the undead?
«Artix's left hand glows yellow.»
Artix: EXORCISM!!!!!!!
«Yellow energy flashes all over the screen and the Dracolich falls to pieces.»
Zorbak: Woah…
Hero: I thought you couldn't cast Light-based magic?
Artix: I never said I could.
Hero: So how did you just do that?
Artix: Here… put your hand on my shoulder.
«Hero walks over to Artix and places their hand on his shoulder. The background darkens and glowing Spirit Orbs become visible around them. The screen zooms out.»
Hero: Woah… are those spirit orbs?
«A blue-colored spirit orb appears.»
Dragon Spirit: YES. AND THANK YOU BOTH FOR SAVING ME AND MY BROTHER.
Artix: You are welcome.
Hero: You… are welcome?
Dragon Spirit: IT WAS NOXUS WHO DID THIS TO US. TRAPPED US IN THAT SKELETAL FORM.
Artix: It is alright now mighty Dragon. You may move on to the light and find happiness.
Dragon Spirit: I DO NOT WISH TO GO. I WANT TO FIGHT SO THAT THIS FATE BEFALLS NO OTHER DRAGON.
Zorbak: What are you guys looking at!? I can't see a thing!!
Dragon Spirit: COULD I JOIN YOU IN YOUR BATTLE AGAINST NOXUS AND VORDRED?
«Artix nods.»
«The Dragon Spirit Orb floats to Artix and disappears. Artix's whole body flashes white.»
Hero: … I understand everything now.
Zorbak: Guys! Guys! What is going on? Meh. I feel so left out.
«The background has returned to normal - no floating Spirit Orbs are visible.»
Artix: It was nice seeing you… I am off to defeat Noxus then battle Vordred, the PaladinSlayer!
«Cysero and Beleen enter the room.»
Cyerso: There he is!!! Get him!!!
Beleen: There he is!!! Get him!!!
«Screen zooms out to reveal that Artix has disappeared.»
Cysero: Hey Hero! He sure can run fast considering that's full plate armor.
Beleen: Oh, hiya Hero!
Book of Lore: If Vordred slays Artix, he will become the Champion of Darkness and gain the full powers.
Cysero: Yup! Why do you think we've been chasing him?
Hero: So what is plan B?
Beleen: I know! Lets get a Pizza. Do you have any coupons in your Book of Lore?
Hero: !!!
Cysero: I think we need to return to the Necropolis and defeat the source of this trouble… Noxus.
