Arc 2: Darkar Things
Prologue: A Foe from the Past
Shadowhaunt: Lord Argulus Darkar sat on his throne on either side was a table, on one table was his helmet and visor Black and Purple like the rest of his armor which he was currently, he had taken it off as he had been tired of wearing it, on the other was a book: his current novel: The Adventures of the Golden Sun, a Mercenary company's tale, also leaning against that table was a massive mace, his personal mace Nightbringer. At the Moment said Phoenix was busy brushing his long neck length blonde hair, his red eyes were focused on his current a mirror he was holding. Guards, armored Phoenix warriors, watched the entrance and stood watch on the room. Suddenly the door was flung open and the guards were flung against the wall, into the room marched another Phoenix, with pale scarred skin, shoulder length Blood red hair and eyes, he was clad in Crimson full plate armor with black and blue gemstones studding it and a giant orange gem in center, also he wore an amulet, at his side were two axes with spiked knuckle fists built into the handles, in his hand was a staff that menaced with spikes, to either side of him were warriors clad in armor with the heraldry of a Phoenix standing atop a thicket with skulls mixed in, also there were monsters made of tar to either side of these, and large 8 foot tall constructs in similar garb.
"Lord Darkar, your reign as the Lord of Shadowhaunt is over, as is the dominance of house Darkar, I am Abolithon and you know me, I have come for vengeance and more!" Abolithon stated, he was the Phoenix with the blood red hair.
"Abolithon, you weren't able to defeat my son, what makes you think you stand a chance against me" Argulus stated stepping up from his throne and grabbing his two-handed mace which he could wield in one hand, rising to his full 7-foot height.
"My powers have more than doubled since last we met also I have a few new tricks up my sleeve" Abolithon stated.
"Twice the Pride, double the Fall" Argulus stated and charged towards Abolithon, only to be thrown back, the staff in Abolithon's hand turned into a two-handed axe, a surge of magical energy coming out from it.
The two Phoenixes clashed, their weapons tearing into each other, suddenly Argulus felt overmatched something he hadn't felt in a long time, each blow from his mace Abolithon dodged, which was near impossible as the mace was not some unbalanced weapon, but a lightweight weapon made of Relix and wouldn't be so easy to dodge, which was what Abolithon was doing, suddenly he felt a lack of control over his movements, Abolithon was turning him about like he was rag doll; he recognized it as blood magic and asserted control, then he received a surge of magic blasting him across the room into the throne. "I warned you I have grown stronger; now you are weaker" Abolithon stated, Lord Darkar then realized his magic was being leeched from him, and he upped his wards to guard against this, but each blow was exhausting his wards and stretching them to breaking, he hadn't fought for a while and was out of practice, suddenly Argulus winced as he received a blow from behind, he turned and saw five Phoenix, three men two women, they were clad in black and red armor and wore helmets that masked their face, the blow was followed up by more than by strikes from Abolithon, who then flung him up into the ceiling. "I warned you I had grown stronger since we last met, don't bother summoning your guards, I've replaced most of them with my own, those who are yours are either at outposts far from Shadowhaunt or locked in your own dungeons, where you will soon be imprisoned, by the way I didn't introduced you to my children, Ambition deal with him!" Abolithon stated, then Lord Darkar received a blow from the center masked Phoenix, and he saw no more.
"Father Shadowhaunt is secure, General Seraloth reports that he has seen to the last of the defenders, we have total victory "Ambition stated.
"Excellent, Vengeance, Deception, take Lord Darkar to his own dungeon and lock him up; also make sure to put him in the worst cell" Abolithon ordered.
"It was newly refurbished father" one of the female Phoenixes stated.
"That is bad news Asarna, that changes things, take him to the newly refurbished cell that was once bad" Abolithon ordered, the two Phoenixes dragged the limp Lord Argulus Darkar away. "Victory my warriors, now we begin stage two: Ambition take some of your warriors and commandeer one of the Darkar Flying Castles so that we can head for the Tree of Life in the Gloomy-Wood Forest here on Magix, I want you to capture several Pixies, we need intel" Abolithon ordered. "Now we begin our search for the Codex and our quest for Relix, once our goal is achieved; House Shadowthorn will rise to supplant House Darkar" Abolithon continued, he sat on Lord Darkar's throne in triumph and placed his helmet on the table in place of Argulus's own, then put his own book on top of Argulus's, the book was titled Blood and Shadow: history of House Shadowthorn, he then took Argulus's mirror and looked at his scarred face. "Soon Erasiel you will face my wrath" Abolithon thought to himself.
