Here's chapter 3 I know it's a little slow updating but I like to make sure I'm few chapters ahead of the game so I don't just post a chapter and wind up leaving it to fall into the back pages never to be completed.
Chapter 3: Good help is so hard to find.
"I have had it!"
Prince Phobos was in a bad mood.
"I HAVE HAD IT!"
"A very bad mood.
For the past few months every time Phobos had had a new plan to destroy the Guardians or help him conquer the earth or even to build up his troops the Guardians had stopped his plans. It infuriated him to no end that these five 'girls, were the one thing holding him back.
"You incompetent fools can't you do anything right!" he raged at Archeron and the Murmerers guards who were bowed before him.
"Sire please allow me to explain…" "Archeron who was now in his humanoid form started.
Phobos locked his eyes on Archeron has if he were trying to kill him with those dark orbs (according to a few guards he had been known to just that on rare occasions!). Archeron went silent before gulping loudly.
"Yes please do explain General." Phobos seemed have calmed now the anger in voice seemed to have vanished replaced with something more akin to curiosity.
"Explain to me how your troops are constantly being defeated by five little girls! Five girls that have forced my plans to a stand still! Phobos demanded the anger in his voice rising has he continued.
Archeron open his mouth to speak but the word didn't come.
Its like the earth people say. Phobos said sitting into his throne flexing his fingers a sinister smile creeping across his face.
"If you want something done right you have to do it yourself."
Phobos stood from his throne and marched off through the dark corridors Archeron following close behind.
After travelling a complicated route through the maze like corridors. The two reached a brass elevator. The two grunts seeing 'their prince and the general marching toward them hurriedly hauled open the heavy brass doors. When they had entered the two immediately set to working hauling the heavy handle round to lower the elevator down the long shaft. After several minutes they finally reached the bottom. The two marched down the long corridor and eventually arrived at a pair of tall dark brown double doors with strange arcane symbols carved all across its surface. The guards at the doors open them has Phobos and Archeron approached allowing them to enter. Archeron took in the new room and asked:
"What is this place?" He had never actually seen this particular room before. The walls were lined with similar arcane symbols to those on the doors. The room was quite large but with a low set ceiling. Humanoid beings in dark hooded robes lined the walls chanting a strange inhuman prayer possibly a spell of some sort Archeron wasn't sure. In the centre of the room was three large 'tomb coffin like structures which appeared to have heavy locks presumably designed to hold something very powerful.
"This is the solution to my Guardian problem."
Phobos explained staring ahead towards a massive arcane looking machine of some design. It had a large emblem on the front with hexagon star symbol carved into it. Located in each quarter were large iron shackles waiting for an occupant. A sacrifice Archeron knew.
"Are we ready to begin yet?" Phobos asked turning to one of the grey skinned robed worshippers.
"The spell is ready my liege however I should for warn you that powering these creatures with the elements will require large amounts of energy both to activate and maintain them." The worshipper explained in a dead sounding voice.
We now require only the necessary sacrifice and of course your mighty powers to initiate their activation.
"Good, attach him to the emblem," Phobos said gesturing to a shocked Archeron.
Wha b-b-but my liege! Archeron stammered 'has two of the worshippers grabbed him by the arms. He tried to struggle but they were surprisingly strong. The two dragged him to emblem and slammed him into it disorientating him. He was drowsy for a few moments has he felt the heavy shackles locking his arms and legs into place.
"P-please my lord reconsider!" Archeron pleaded.
"Good help is so hard to find, these days" Phobos explained in a bored tone.
"You general have failed me once to often but now you will finally succeed. You should be happy you are playing such an important part in the Guardians destruction." Phobos grinned.
Archeron looked about in a terrified fashion has Phobos took his place commencing the ritual. He began chanting a strange inhuman prayer. "The worshippers repeating each of his lines. After the third verse of the strange incantation Phobos raised his hands, which began to spark with dark energy. Two dark beams shot towards Archeron leeching the life out of him. The two worshippers manning the arcane machine began turning the heavy cranks, which fuelled Archerons life force energy into the three tombs. Archeron roared in agony has he felt his life force being drained away. Finally Phobos and the worshippers stopped their deathly chanting. And rushed to heave open the heavy tombs.
Phobos took one last look at Archeron his body now wrinkled like a human raisin. 'His six eye sockets shrunken and empty.
"I never did like spiders much anyway. Phobos said disdainfully.
I always preferred snakes. He informed the now lifeless body attached to the emblem.
Phobos approached the tombs in time to see three tall figures each wearing the same dark robes has the worshippers emerge.
The three warriors stepped out and stood in front of Phobos. For a moment it seemed has if they might attack him. They then went into a bowing position before "phobos placing their hands across their chests.
"We are the Sentinels of rock, steel, and ice. We pledge our allegiance to prince Phobos." The one in the middle announce in a mechanical sounding voice.
