Prelude
The room was dark, no lighting to be seen, though it seemed light radiated from the ominous red mist that covered the room. Two humanoid shapes were at the center of the room. "It has been located my lord," said one of the dark figures.
Its voice had an air like tone and strangely echoed in the small room. The figure was about twice the size of a man, though awkwardly, was kneeling to another, but smaller figure.
"Shall I send someone to retrieve the stone?"
"Yes," said the standing figure. It answered, in a dark, deep, monotone voice; the voice's pitch was of a young man's.
"Finally, after centuries of searching, it has been found...," the figure turned its back to the kneeling figure. "Send Kruak to retrieve it."
The kneeling figure jolted up from what was said. "My lord… is that necessary? It's such a trivial task. Scouts have said nothing in that plane can stand against even a fledgling…"
"There may be... complications my adsecula, for word has reached me of one of our prisoners managed to escape Terilron. We do not know how much this one knows, but we don't want another mistake to ruin us," said the standing figure, with an added bitterness at the end.
"…Yes my lord. I will send for him now." The large figure stood up and gave a slight bow. As this happened, the lumbering shadow merged into the darkness and shadows of the room.
The other figure then walked toward one of the stone walls, one with a small mirror that was placed within the wall, seamless from stone to glass.
"The race begins," said the figure, laughing as clouds appeared to swirl in the reflection, revealing a pair of red eyes glaring out of it.
A girl with lavender hair woke up with a start on her bed, sweat covering her face. She sat up from the bed and looked around. It was around midnight, she guessed, since it was dark outside the window. Everything looked fine, except for the lamp next to her, which was smoldering, resembling a black thick tree branch.
"Damn," the dark girl thought. 'Guess I'm using candles for a while longer'. The girl lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes. Her mind wandered back to the dream she had, pieces of it coming to her vividly and disappearing as fast as it came. 'Just a nightmare,' she thought, half awake. 'I knew something was wrong with that pizza…' She drifted back to the serenity and oblivion of sleep.
adsecula means follower, or servant. (Latin)
