Chapter 1: Morality Issues
The Dark Side
A feline pet scrolled into a room accompanied by a Purple Grarrl and Darigan Eyrie. The green Acara grinned as she sat down on a plush golden throne at the far end of the room. Looking a bit too smug she looked over to her attendants. " The Assembly goes well? "
The Eyrie nodded. " The final call started last night. It is a global signal that'll call them to their very city. " Then he bowed. " The preparations for their arrival are nearly complete. We expect two hundred thousand more. "
" Nearly? " Her blue eyes grew lighter for a moment. " Get it done. I don't want any more delays. "
Suddenly the Eyrie screamed while grabbing his throat. " Yes! Of course! " He gasped as she slunk out of the room.
The Grarrl's eyes were widened in shock before the Acara addressed him. " You stay here. " She waited until the Eyrie left the room. " I want you to do something for me... "
Outside the Throne Room doors the Eyrie fumed. " That bitch... " He started as he walked down the hall. " I was ten times the man that whelp ever was, yet she treats me like yesterday's trash! "
Opening the door at the end of the hall he made it out onto the courtyard of the castle. It was yard with stone walls closing it in where the prisoners of this city did everyday business. Among them was an aging Moehog sitting across from an Mynci, just the two he wanted to see. They were playing a game on the table between them involving squares and little shiny pebbles.
" How goes things, Morguss? " The Eyrie said with a smirk.
The Moehog didn't look up from the board. " Terrible. Masila's growing suspicious of us and has tightened security. We can't even think without someone breathing down our necks. "
" Skarl is less of a tyrant than this wench. " The monkey added before placing a piece on the board. " Check. "
The Eyrie sat down beside Morguss. " Have you heard the rumors? They're calling this 'The War of Roses' on light side because... "
" Silence! " Morguss snapped. " I'm trying to concentrate. "
" Don't you silence me! " He shot back. " We've been sold into slavery by a man who claimed to have wanted to protect us. Darigan sold us out. Doesn't that mean anything to you? "
" Not really, Kass. " The Moehog closed her eyes. " You knew we were going to be punished one way or another. It is better that we serve under another master than continue to serve under one we dislike. I know that your ultimate aim is to become a king in your own right, but for now we must bide our time and gather our forces. Darigan will get what's coming to him, as will Masila. Besides..." Opening her eyes again. " They restored you to your former glory. "
The Mynci folded his arms. " While I'm young, Morguss. "
Kass looked down at himself as the group fell silent. That was true. After The Three were done with him he was nothing more than a shadow of his power infused self. They left him a lesser pet who couldn't even stand on his own kind legs! He wandered the forests near Meridell for days as a withered and gray Eyrie before that strange Acara and her Grarrl bodyguard found him.
No... They captured him.
In exchange for the power he once lived for he was forced to serve Masila. No matter how much he resisted she would pull him back in with power he had never heard of! Morguss was able to determine that her power came from some outside source. A person, a place, an item, something! Once they find the source of her power they would rule this planet!
" BLAST! " The Darigan Mynci placed a piece on the board, making five in a row. "
Damn you, monkey! " Morguss screamed while grabbing her twisted wand. " Lets see how smart you are when I turn you into a Mortog! "
Thankfully Vex was a lot faster.
Another semi-intro chapter. Next chapter I'll start moving forward.
