===''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''=== [[File:Tellah tells his story.PNG|thumb|right|Tellah telling Cecil his story inside the Underground Waterway.]] Tellah was furious and pursued them but had grown slow in his old age and lost track of them in the passages leading to the [[Underground Waterway (Final Fantasy IV)|Underground Waterway]]. A weakened Tellah was unable to defeat the [[Octomammoth (Final Fantasy IV 2D)|Octomammoth]], a powerful monster guarding the exit from the Underground Waterway, and was trapped deep underground. When [[Cecil Harvey]] and [[Rydia]] travel through the Underground Waterway searching for the [[Sand Pearl]], they come across Tellah and offer their help. The three defeat Octomammoth and head to Damcyan. [[File:Anna Death IV iOS.PNG|thumb|left|Tellah and the others witnessing Anna's death.]] When Tellah arrives in Damcyan, the [[Red Wings]] [[Battle of Damcyan|raid the city]] and steal the [[Fire Crystal (term)#Final Fantasy IV|Crystal of Fire]]. The Red Wings destroy most of the city, killing or injuring most of the populace. Anna suffers grave injuries and when Tellah finds his daughter near death, [[You spoony bard!|he turns on Edward in rage]]. Anna stops the fight, explaining she loves Edward and that a dark man named [[Golbez]] had led the attack on Damcyan. Anna dies moments later and Tellah swears revenge on Golbez and leaves alone. When Cecil, [[Palom]], and [[Porom]] climb [[Mount Ordeals]] on Cecil's quest to become a [[Paladin (job)|Paladin]], they encounter Tellah on the mountain, searching for [[Meteor (Final Fantasy IV)|Meteor]], a spell of incredible power. Tellah helps his them reach the summit and along the way they twice fight and defeat [[Scarmiglione#Final Fantasy IV|Scarmiglione]] of Earth, one of Golbez's Elemental [[Archfiends]]. At the summit they discover a room full of mirrors where a mysterious light appears, calling Cecil "my son", and assists Cecil in his transformation into a Paladin. As the light departs, Tellah rediscovers his missing spells, including "Meteor". [[File:Tellah rejoins the party ffiv ios.PNG|thumb|right|Tellah in Mt. Ordeals.]] Cecil, Tellah, Palom, and Porom return to [[Mysidia (Final Fantasy IV)|Mysidia]], where the [[Elder of Mysidia]] congratulates them. Tellah tells the Elder of his plans to defeat Golbez using Meteor, but the Elder reminds Tellah he should never fight with a vengeance, and that Tellah would die if he were to cast Meteor, due to his old age. Tellah is not swayed. The party heads for [[Baron Castle]] and discover the king of [[Baron (Final Fantasy IV)|Baron]] has been secretly succeeded by the Archfiend [[Cagnazzo]]. Cagnazzo makes the walls crumble on the party and Palom and Porom petrify themselves to hold the walls back and save the party. Tellah tries to heal them, it does not work because the twins petrified themselves willingly. Cecil's former friend who is now working for Golbez, [[Kain Highwind|Kain]], issues an ultimatum: Cecil must either get Kain the [[Earth Crystal (term)#Final Fantasy IV|Crystal of Earth]] or his childhood friend and love interest [[Rosa Joanna Farrell|Rosa]] would die. They retrieve the Crystal from the [[Dark Elf (Final Fantasy IV)|Dark Elf]] in [[Lodestone Cavern]], but before departing to hand over the Crystal to Kain, the party visits Edward who is recuperating in the [[Troia]] inn. Tellah tells Edward, Anna was happy to be loved by a man like Edward and Edward asks Tellah to avenge Anna for his sake too. [[File:Tellah Death DS.PNG|thumb|left|The party mourns Tellah's death.]] Kain guides Cecil's party to the [[Tower of Zot (Final Fantasy IV)|Tower of Zot]], where they meet Golbez, who takes the Crystal but would not free Rosa. Tellah attacks Golbez and casts spells on him, but finds they have no effect. Left with no choice, he decides to cast Meteor, despite warnings from his friends that it will destroy him. He then converts his own life energy into the necessary magic power to cast Meteor, which severely wounds Golbez. Cecil rushes to strike him, but Golbez knocks him down, and escapes. Golbez's control of Kain is broken, and he goes back to being Cecil's friend. Everyone surrounds Tellah, who is dying due to casting Meteor at the cost of his own life. Tellah realizes too late that he failed because he lost himself to his own hatred. In his last breath, Tellah asks the party to avenge Anna for him and he dies from his wounds. When Cecil and his friends travel to the [[Red Moon]] to battle [[Zemus]], the being who manipulated Golbez to steal the [[Earth (Final Fantasy IV)|Earth's]] Crystals, they fight the incarnation of Zemus's hatred: [[Zeromus (Final Fantasy IV)|Zeromus]]. The [[afterlife|spirits]] of Tellah and Anna appear during the battle and grant the party their power to help overcome the evil.
