Chapter 2 - The Cursed Amulet
Mordus hasnt been seen by the meridellians for a very long time. For years, Mordus has been hiding in his secret lair, gathering power and creating potions and objects that had a deadly purpose. One day, he heard that Shazrion was creating an emerald amulet used to summon earth faeries thatll richen soil ,and help the meridellian farmers. "But thatll change, completely." Said Mordus. He spent the next few weeks, working on a cursed potion thatll turn anything that was meant to do a good thing do the opposite.
The potion, in a couple of weeks, was finally complete. Shazrion was deep asleep in his comfy, king-sized bed. .This was Morduss opporitunity. He switched one of Shazrions potions with his potion and teleported back into his secret lair. The next day, Shazrion added the last potion required to make the amulet, which was actually the cursed one. A few drops landed on the amulet. It glowed, signaling its completion. Seddenly, everything went wrong. Instead of summoning earth faeries, it summoned a disaster. Rain drops the size of a regular ping pong ball fell from the black, cumulonimbus cloud infested skies. Lightning crashed and its target burned and exploded. Deafening thunder roared, wakening the sleeping Meridellians. Wind going in an unimaginable speed uprooted trees and tore off the roofs of houses. Bits of the outer layer of the Meridellian castle broke off and flowed with the wind. But that was only the beginning. Purple, waterproof fire spread rapidly into the crop fields and into the old fashoned houses of the Meridellian citizens. Tornadoes destroyed and ripped up everything in its path. King Russel, the current king of meridell, sat on his throne, shaking and frightened. Meanwhile, Shezrion just finished writing an entry in his diary. He immediately shut the book closed and started trying out spells, trying to calm the supernatural storm. But it was way too much powerful for him. The castle walls started to weaken. Starting from the top, the castle began to collapse. Everyone in it perished.
Not long after the castle fully collapsed, the amulets glow started to fade, along with the disaster. Its job was complete, for now. Two creatures crawled out of its shelter. A pregnant female usul and her husband. They, luckily, were one of the survivors. They gasped at the horrible sight. Bits of shattered furniture, houses, and plants were all over the place. Dead bodies were scattered all over the place. They nearly fainted in shock.
