As soon as Charmay turned her back, Kelek
changed himself back to his real identity. Then,
staring at the startled Charmay, he put a charm
on her.
You are tmder my power now, Kelek told
her. This charm will make you believe that I am
your dearest friend. Kelek laughed a dry and
scary laugh.
Why, Kelek, how nice to see you, Charmay
said with a warm smile. Why do you visit me
today?
She was complet e I Q
You have something that I need, my dear
Charmay, said Kelek. Give me the scroll that
tells of the Treasure of Time.
Kelek, no, Charmay pleaded. The An-
cients have said that no one should disturb the
Treasure of Time.
I am not afraid. Give it to merroarJ!
Keleks fierce glance held Charmay like a
magnet. Reluctantly, she handed him the scroll.
The Treasure of Time will soon be mine!
Kelek exclaimed. He could barely contain his joy
as he walked down the path away from
Charrnays dwelling.
I-Ie didnt notice a erce little gure hiding
behind a wall. It was Elkhorn, a ghter Dwarf
who hated Kelek and his evil.
- What are you doing here, you vile serpent?
Ellthorn cried out, his dagger poised, ready to
attack.

Slss/1! Stronghearts sword attacked the web of
snakes now. A few mighty strokes, and Elkhorn
was free-.
Come! We must hurry! cried Strongheart.
Kelek may have already beaten us to the
Treasure of Time!

An illusion! Strongheart cried, realizing his
mistake too late. He raised his sword to attack.
That was an illusionbut my blade is real! ' he
cried angrily.

Keleks bony hand reached forward to open
the chest. Suddenly a giant bat ew into the
mvern. Kelek started to shoo it away, but the bat
changed form and became. . .
. . .Charmay!
You didnt really imagine that your spell
would last, did you, Kelek?" she cried. I could
never stay an ally of yours for long. But I tar?! give
you some friendly advice. Do not open that
treasure chest. No one can control the Treasure of
Time. No one!
Too late! " cried Kelek. He opened the chest.
The room lled with explosions of light. Flares
of red and gold swirled around the evil sorcerer.
Green smoke filled the room. Bolts of blue
lightning flamed around Kelek, and sparks leapt
off his ngertips.
Finally, the smoke cleared, the eerie lights
faded.
Standing before the amazed trio was a young
man.
Lookits Kelek! cried Elkhorn. But he
looks to be about 20 years old!
Yes, indeed it is I, grinned the young
Kelek. Now, say your goodbyes, fools! I believe
a nice reball will make a lovely death for the
three of you! Ha ha!

The young Kelek pulled back his arm and pre-
pared to throw the powerful reball that would
destroy Strongheart and his companions.
Fire! he cried.
But instead of a whirling, hot mass of ame, a
single spark floated through the air and landed at
Stronghearfs feet.

Back in Charmays chamber, Strongheart
laughed at the memory of the mighty Kelek cry-
ing like a child. How long will he be like that,
Charmay? asked the warrior.
Not very long, was her reply. It will take
months-not years-for him to break the en-
chantment. But in the meantime, we will not
have much to fear from his evil. Poor Kelek. He
didnt realize that the Treasure of Timeis Time
itself!
