Unrevealed Guild Wars
Disclaimer: I don't own Ravnica or the names used here which are found in Ravnica (MTG) except Zadiri. I just wrote this story to share my thoughts.
Chapter 1: Congregation Beneath
It was all set for Mirri to return to the jungles of her elders. She entered a tunnel that led her into a wide space without realizing that she was already in the outskirts of Ravnica. A grumbling voice could be heard and dirty water dripping from crevices of a vandalized wall made the atmosphere in the place more suspicious. While walking, she crossed upon a swamp of black gooey substance that unexpectedly boiled.
(Gulp) she swallowed a big gulp of saliva
She knew that she won't be able to see the home of her elders again, for slimy tendrils seemed to be prowling behind her. Mirri rushed to the nearest light post so that people (if ever there were) would come to see and help her but it was too late. The tendrils turned out to be enormous tentacles that grabbed hold of Mirri's sleek body. Her bones were crushed sounding like a glass set in a box that got ran over by a truck. Blood oozed out of her mouth as her lungs were pierced through by the shards of her broken ribs. A creature rose from the unusual swamp that further appeared to be a kraken. It roared and slammed its tentacles wildly destroying some nearby structures. As soon as it felt contented of the havoc it had wrecked, the kraken withdrew in the swamp.
An orb of light came flashing at the Dimir's headquarter and slowly turned into a woman wearing a conspicuous dress with intriquet designs of jewels and other alloys of ancient vogue. She was Zadiri, the champion doppelganger of the house Dimir. She walked across the vast space just filled with stalactites, stalagmites and sougherings.
The place was a very large cavern with conical mineral deposits built up on the floor and mineral deposits built up on the cavern's roof. At the center of the place lied an inverted pyramidal structure known as the Dimir's multi-conventional house.
Zadiri, the kraken a while ago that withdrew in the swamp portal, walked towards the multi-conventional house carrying Mirri on her right shoulder. As Zadiri entered the house, she climbed complex stairways that looked very contradicting to the outside façade. The inside seemed to be bigger than of the appearance of the outside. Finally she reached a room out of thousands of other rooms and entered while gasping.
"The void Entity is late!" exclaimed a man that sat at the other end of the golden rectangular table.
The man's hair had an odd fashion, tied in a very complicated manner. He was as broad as were two grown up grizzly bears. His skin was pale and his lips were sanguine with a sharp tooth revealed at the left end of his lips. Furthermore, he is a vampire.
"Szadek, I'm pleased to offer you Mirri from your wife's Golgari Guild. Mirri, the cat warrior can serve as a hostage to the Golgari!" Zadiri recommended.
"Well I agree with you, Zadiri….." muttered Circu, Dimir's honorable human lobotomist, looking at Szadek's face for a sign of approval perhaps based on the movement of his facial muscles.
"A HOSTAGE! You expect that to be a hostage!? You killed it! (Thinking) but I have a better Idea!" exclaimed Szadek.
"Do not tremble for Savra, my dear wife is now trying to penetrate our façade. As for you Zadiri, place Mirri on that limestone table. Circu! You know what I'm thinking. A little bit of magic, I call it! Prepare to have a new guild member" The vampire lord commanded.
"I'm loving this….." Zadiri whispered to herself.
Chapter summary: While Mirri was on her way to the jungles owned by the Golgari guild, she encountered a great endeavor that changed her life forever. Szadek thought of a plan that can make the war even better and enjoyable for House Dimir.
