Moi Memo's: I've the rest of the story in my head. And I'm going to update, like it or not… (evil smirk). This is simply a taste of what should be expected.


Prologue

..oOo..

The pillars, all we know so well. Each stood for a little essence of Nosgoth. But that is not what this tale is about. The pillars are merely witness to what is to transpire. Amongst the lieutenants, only one was missing now. The most admired and envied out of all. Blessed with a tongue sharp enough to enrage anyone who is unfortunate enough to meet it's edge.
