A World Embroiled in Chaos

Chapter Thirty-Five: Dark Plan IV

A/N: The second chapter of the day… I even might be able to throw in a third… but don't count on it. Anyways, on with the traditional disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER: Refer to Chapter One's Disclaimer.

Back in Kirth's tower…

Kirth slammed his fist into the wall behind where he sat, creating a rather unsightly crater. "…He's truly stronger than me… Kyle really has become… the more powerful of the two of us… and Yirek… has left." He yelled, to his second in command, Zalthyr. The remaining generals were present. "Okay. Now… for your assignments…" Kirth added. In front of him stood Zalthyr, Kevin, and two others: a strong-looking man, and a clever-looking woman. "Zalthyr, you remain here with me." He stated. Zalthyr simply nodded. "Kevin, I have special orders for you, but I want to wait a little while longer before telling them to you." He said. Kevin, as well, nodded. "As for you two, you will remain in your positions." Kirth said to the remaining two. "Orgoth, return to the mountains. Zyalia, I want you to return to the desert, and make negotiations with Draco D' Zasclir." Kirth spoke. Orgoth nodded, and left. "The Draco D' Zasclir?" Zyalia asked.

"Yes. Zyalia, I know he has a fierce reputation, but you are my most powerful general, third of all the silver rogues… bested only by Zalthyr, and myself. Offer him a position as one of my generals, as I'm beginning to run low, and he's much stronger than those fools Tirios and Meyrg. If he refuses, kill him." Kirth explained. "As you wish." Zyalia nodded, beginning to leave. "Sister." Zalthyr spoke. Zyalia turned around. "Yes?" She asked. "…Good Luck." Zalthyr replied. "Don't worry big bro… I'm the next best to you. I won't fail." Zyalia assured, and left the room. "…I'm glad that I've stumbled upon your two, when your parents orphaned you." Kirth explained. Zalthyr nodded.

"Now, let us discuss things." Kirth said. "The bounty hunters so far have been failing… so raise the prices." He said. "I see. To what amounts?" Zalthyr asked. "Kyle… the reward on him will go up from one hundred zillion to simply as much money as imaginable." Kirth began, as Zalthyr nodded, writing this all down. "Alyssa… is wanted, for one hundred million (100,000,000) coins, alive. Yureidoru is for eighty million coins (80,000,000). Jeff is for fifty million coins (50,000,000). Also, there have been two other very powerful warriors who have been making large dents in my plan wherever they go. Their names are Harris and Badge. They don't travel together, but their motives are eerily similar: my demise. List them as the same price as Alyssa. (100,000,000) coins…and put the price of ten thousand (10,000) coins on any who are associated with these people." Kirth explained. Zalthyr nodded, and finished writing what prices went on whom. "Shall I put the signs up?" Kevin asked. "No. Zalthyr will do it. You have other things in mind." Kirth stated. Zalthyr nodded, and left the room.

"Now, Kirth… about the dark power I was promised…" Kevin stated. "Patience. Time will get you what you want." Kirth stated. Kevin nodded. "Well, actually, the first step should be to attain your legendary Attack. Have you sensed it, yet?" Kirth asked. "Actually, I just have. It's somewhere… in the catacombs below Grandville." Kevin said, while sensing the scroll of his legendary attack. "Hah. Looks like you've got a tough location. The catacombs under Grandville have existed for over thirty thousand years, and they're well hidden. Plus, the labyrinth in the catacombs is very complex. Finding your scroll in there won't be easy." Kirth laughed. "…Don't worry, I'll succeed." Kevin stated, while leaving. Kirth simply smirked as he sat on his throne.

Coming up: Yeah. I'll probably get a THIRD chapter in today. It'll be in the mountains. Expect it before ten tonight… but I'm not completely positive that I'll get to writing. However, it'll probably come out tonight. Don't blame me if it doesn't, though…

Until Next Chapter,
