Chapter 10 The Coming of Dread
-------------------
" Sire, I understand the need to rebuild to Kelethin, but there are far more pressing matters at hand."
"What could be more necessary then rebuilding Kelethin?"
"We know that the orcs are by themselves completely incapable of using the sorcery. From what we were able to draw from the orcs, leads us to beleive that Dark Elves had been assisting the Orcs."
"You're not telling me anything new Raziel, we have known that they had been forming an alliance for quite some time."
"True, but their previous actions had been minor. But the inclusion of such massive amounts of the undead, into their ranks and the fact that the undead continued to moan something about "dread comes". I believe that they we have only seen the beginning of something much larger.."
"You dont believe in such old myths do you?"
"I didnt until yesterday's battle."
".....and it will be a time of great strife. When the moons are united in darkness and the dead shall walk upon the earth once more."
" A chilling prophecy."
"Yes. but how can this be verified? The only Tier'dal we know of in the area was killed in
the battle."
"It is unfortunate that D'vinn was killed before he could be interrogated. I guess you musrt have to use your Double agent."
"Double agent? I have no double agent."
"You mean , you dont know about Mathasar?"
"Commander Mathasar? what about him?"
"He has been suppling information to D'vinn and Emporer Crush. "
'WHAT!?! Why didn't you say anything before?"
"I didnt say anything because I thought he was working for you. A double agent can bevery valuable in a war you know."
"Mathasar..I cant belive that he would betry us.. He was one of my most trusted Commanders."
"Apperances can be decieving."
"Guards! Find Commander Mathasar, bind him and bring him here!"
"Yes Sir!"
----------------------------------
"Let Go of me! thats's an order!"
"I'm sorry sir. King's orders. You are to be bound and presented before him for interrogation."
"On what grounds!"
"Treason"
"WHAT!?!"
"Please comply or we will be forced to render you unconscious."
"Fine.."
--------------------------
"Mathasar."
"M'lord. What is the meaning of this. Why am I being restrained?"
"We have reason to belive you are in league with the Teir'dal. I hope..no I pray that we are mistaken."
"Ill make this short. You are mistaken!"
"Is that so Mathasar?"
"You! You have no right to adress me like that. Call me Commander."
"I can and will address you as I feel. Now tell us, why are the Tier'dal trying torevive the
Dread King?"
"I know nothing of him except old wives tales."
"Please enlighten us."
"Grrr.. This apprehensivable! M'lord please release me!"
"I will release you when I feel that you are innocent and not a moment before. Now tell us what do you know about the Dread King?"
"Alright. Long ago, Tunare and Elrossi Marr battle the evil of Cazic Thule. During the wart, Cazic Thule was losing, he needed a new weapon a new right hand to aid him in his war. He went from the plane of Fear and stole several artifacts from Innourk. He then connected them to a rib from his body and placed it in a tomb. His priests then slit their wrists and let the blood fill the tomb. The tomb was then sealed away until the day of the Selquinox-The day of Double Moon eclispe. A day of complete darkness. The darkness filled the tomb and then the one of pure darkness and dread. The one all people fear. The Dread King was spawned.
The Dread King was powerful, infact too powerful. He was uncontrollable, in his rampage he nearly destroyed the alter planes. In desperation the God's formed a temporary alliance and stripped him of most ofhis power and sought to bind him forever. But with his last remaining strength, he broke free and retreated to the mortal realm. There he began regain his power and massed an army of the undead. The Dread King rampaged the face of Norrath, destroying everything including the Great Combine Empire. But he was eventually halted, in Faydwer. There he battled the greatest of The Empire. They were unable to defeat him, bu they managed to succeed were the God's failed. They bound him and sealed him deep underneath Faydwer. But it was prophecied that at the next Selquinox, he will rise again and conquer everything."
"A very haunting prophecy, now tell us why are the Teir'dal trying to restore him?"
"I dont know!"
"Stop your lying Mathasar! I know your a mole planted by the Teir'dal. I saw you giving
D'vinn our battle plans!"
"I did no such thing!"
"Then why are you hiding your true form by a simple enchanter's illusion?"
"....."
"I thought so. Now tell us the truth why are the Teir'dal trying to revive the Dread King? "
"haha...I never would have thought any one could have seen through the shapeshift....It no longers matters now...I will tell you. We are giving the ultimate servant to our Lord!! All will serve our Lord Innourok!!"
"Fool, dont you realize that the Dread King cant be controlled? Dont you realize that he will destroy everyone?"
"He will serve us, because Innourok will rule all!"
"Not a chance. Innourok shall never conquer these lands. I will lay down my life for them.
I am it's protector."
** "haha..So tell me. Who's going to protect the protector? BIOMORPH!"
The bonds and the armor encompassing Mathasar shattered, as his High elfs form rapidally gave away to a new larger form. With in seconds Mathasar towered over the people in the room standing at 8 feet, with razor sharp claws and fangs, he had transform into some type of winged demon. He was some type of strange hybrid.
'What the??"
"HAHAHAHAHHAAHA. You all will die!" Mathasar flapped his massive wings sending huge gust of winds through the throne room, knocking everyone to the ground. He leapt into the air and smashed through the ceiling, taking off into the sky.
--------------------------
"Theere is no sign of Mathasar. Im sorry M'lord"
"He is the least of our worries now."
"Yes. Sire, the recent battle with the orcs has depleted our forces. If we are going to prepare ourselves, we must sseek more forces."
"Can we expect anything from Erudin?"
"Yes. but with the Selquinox approaching, I doubt they would arrive in time. "
"Then we must make do then."
"Not entirely. With your permission and your financial backing, I can recruit additional forces."
"You mean mercenaries? I wont be caught dead, having my forces working with mercenaries."
"If you dont, you will be dead"
"I suppose your right. You have my support. Go. and hurry."
"By your leave."
