Il Zhagra Nu Dalhinyat Fel Gitran

Chapter 1: Prologue

It was not a dark and stormy night, but there was a chill in the air. The moon loomed overhead, closer than normal.Firax shuddered as he walked.He looked behind him for the fourth time.

He could not shake the feeling that he was being watched. He shuddered again and ran a hand through his light blue hair. The ring on his hand seemed to catch on everything. He had found the ring a few days ago in a pawn shop. A simple band made of onyx and jade. It seemed so familiar to him, but he couldn't place it.

But Firax was right, he was being watched. But not from this plane of existence. The ring he had purchased for $12 was not just a normal ring. It was wanted by Xarif. For if he possessed this ring, the Council of 7 and 13, the makers of the universe, would have no choice but to kneel before him. But the ring he wanted happened to fall into the hands of his unknowing nemisis. He needed that ring. He had to have Il Zhagra Nu Dalhinyat Fel Gitran, the Ring of Nightmares and Blessings.
