Baldur's Gate II Throne of Bhaal (30 page)

Abdel nodded, knowing it was true. But, there was still something he needed to know.

“So, what happens to me? What is my destiny now?”

The great figure standing before him vanished. The Abyssal realm of Bhaal dissolved, and Abdel found himself standing on a trail he had crossed many times before. A half mile to the north the road led to his childhood home of Candlekeep. To the south it met up with the trade routes that wound throughout the width and breadth of the Sword Coast, down into the Southlands and across the entire continent of Faerun.

Your destiny, the infinite voice said inside Abdel’s head in answer to his question, is whatever you choose to make it.

Realizing that he was once again wandering around completely naked, Abdel could only sigh. He hesitated a brief second, then started up the path toward the mountaintop silhouette of Candlekeep, just barely visible in the rapidly fading sun.
