A Gathering Storm
Chapter 1
Eight figures were gathered along a long table, a distinct assortment of regal, gaunt, and downright scary. At the head sat a figure devoid of gender, it's body made up of galaxies, having a crest of three shapes at it'shead, and a glowing heart surrounded by a pinkish glow not unlike that of precious stones. It sat there, observing the seven other figures.
Such figures included a seemingly wealthy noble, a gaunt-looking peasant in a hooded robe, a lady adorned with draconic symbols, a lady whose hair is made out of vines, a ghost pirate, a lady with a insect's bottom and legs, and an Egyptian looking man, adorned in golden armor.
The galaxy-being, who identified as The Authority, started the meeting, breaking up any chatter.
"Greetings.", boomed out a voice of a thousand beings, ",welcome. I am glad you made it. As you may well know, I have gathered you here to discuss possible combatants, or 'Heroes', as I may call them. Before we continue, can we get to know each other better? Volunteers?", it asked.
The ghost pirate drunkenly stood up, peg leg buckling and hook swaying, his normal hand holding a bottle of rum. He then proceeds to boom out, "Cap'n Blackheart at yer service!" He then chuckles, telling "Well, if you pay up enough that is! Me bay is always open to the highest bidder ya! Hahaha!" His naval robes swayed to and fro as he spoke, evidencing his drunkeness. Some chuckled, while others looked on in disapproval, especially the noble, who has notable raven-like features in his clothes as well as his face, boasting a cane with a raven up the handle
Said noble introduced himself next, standing up. "My name is Ambrosius Alexander Ravenflight, otherwise known, as the Raven Lord of the Cursed Hollow", flourishing an image of his domain with his cane, emphasizing the title quite sarcastically, while speaking. Some were pissed off at his showing-off, including the peasant, the lady-drake, and the Pharoah-look-alike.
"Now, now, don't do a royal rumble on the first meeting! We got Heroes for that!", chastised The Authority. "Now to carry on with the business at hand? ", reminded The Authority
The Egyptian stood up, his golden vestments gleaming in the starlit room. "I am Ka, the ancient ruler of the sands of Luxoria, home to Sky Temple. ", he declared simply but eloquently. The spider-lady muttered something disapproving to her neighbor, the Raven Lord. Next however to reveal themself was the grizzled peasant.
"I am Athewulf Grimm, known to the people as the Grave Keeper, custodian of the Haunted Mines". The Raven Lord snickered behind his back, while others were waiting for their turn...
"I am the Lady of the Shire, custodian of Dragon Shire, born Alessa Drake Talonflight."
"I, am The Spider Queen, formerly Neithis when living, watcher of my own tomb."
"I am Queen Nightshade, keeper of the Garden of Terror.", said the final figure.
"Well then, now we know each other, shall we move on to the agenda then?", said The Authority.
AN: Literally my first fanfic. Did not include yet the Diablo and Starcraft Lords, since I am basing off from the beta period, along with Consort's Stormclouds.(hence the personalities) This is the genesis stage in his universe.
