Fifty years pass. Cecil is still searching for the stone when he learns that Morkyll has long since been slain in a great world. Distraught at the loss of his master, Cecil decides to go on a quest to raise Morkyll from the dead. Along the way he meets a snarky dragon named Gravatak the Apathetic, a redheaded merchant woman named Arrowyn, a trio of Goblin minstrels, and a cowardly wannabe hero named Orogon, amongst other strange characters. Needless to say, hilarity ensues.

''[[http://www.youtube.com/user/tyrantisterror#grid/user/2FC875DC50ADCE40 Cecil's Journey to the Heart of Darkness]]'' is a 30 minute long stop motion short movie lampooning the fantasy genre in general and TheLordOfTheRings in particular. The protagonist of the story is a wraith named Cecil, a MinionWithAnFInEvil to the resident EvilOverlord Morkyll. While Cecil is incredibly loyal to Morkyll and professes to believe in "evil", he has a strong moral compass that keeps him from carrying out his dark lord's missions. Unable to bring himself to destroy the wraith, Morkyll sends Cecil on a mission for a (fictional) magic object called "The McGuffin Stone."
