[Imryrr Armunn D|O]

---

The young girl stepped out from behind her father's shadow. Her white, intelligent eyes piercing from beyond the dark shroud that she wore.
Her first day attending the Dark Order training drills.

Imryrr now stood on the battlements of Armunn Keep. Tall and proud as her father before her had. Her hands bracing the stone railing as she looked out upon DarkCove. Thinking. Remembering that day of introduction.

She walked behind the Dark Knight, mimicking his stride. As they wallked together to survey the troops, she could feel the eyes upon her. She was the one being surveyed this day. She felt amused stares, proud stares, curious stares. All of them shared one thing in common. Respect. Respect for the daughter of their Lord. All but one. She had her back to this particular man at the time, but stopped short to merely turn and look at him. She noted his strong facial features. Hardly a wrinkle on his brow. His eyes showed her no respect. And in so doing, disrespected his dark Lord. She knew then, that this one would not last long in the ranks of the Dark Order.
She knew respect of battle was a seperate thing. Respect as a soldier would have to be earned. That was their way. This man had gained that. But she would later prove to be right in her prediction. There was a certain order that had to be followed. Albeit, a harsh, demanding one. An order of rank. An order of leadership. Not everyone could follow orders. Not everyone understood that several individuals made up the smooth working unit that was the Dark Order. A fighting unit. Every order had a purpose. And every order had to be followed for the entire unit to work. One order disobeyed at peace time could lose a battle in the future. This was what that man had failed to understand those many years ago.

Imryrr shifted her weight. Her lower body was still stiffened by the effects of the shadow wraith attack many months before. She was still paying the price of the confrontation.
A simple, quick touch of the thing had paralyzed her for weeks. And now......the dark daughter stood straighter against the cold pain in her legs. It never went away. The pain was always there. Always a reminder of what took away the world she had known as a child.

***********************************************************************************

I walked back into the keep and down to the study. It is my study, though mother keeps me surrounded by many things that were once father's. A reminder of his accomplishments. But also a reminder of his failures. And so I will not rebuild his Dark Order. I build my own.

Things in DarkCove are coming along nicely. The citizens have learned who rules here. Taxes are being paid. Shipments for supplies are slow, but progressing. And it seems I am but a rumor in the lands outside my own. I cannot help but smile at this thought. Rumors. Yes. Many things are progressing nicely indeed.
DarkCove's citizens seem to be adjusting well to me, and the life I allow them. Prosperity will come soon for the town. And as they go about their daily life, word will get out about the Dark Order's ....possible....return.
I stroked the nearby map of Sosaria with my fingertips, pausing just slightly over the blue area of Yew. By the time this rumor is proven true to everyone.... I smile again.... we will already be upon them.

It is coming along the way that I wish it. Not showy. Not flashy. That is not needed at this time. I use our name to build my Dark Order. The darkness will strengthen us to a glorious force this realm has never seen. I am merging the best of many talents. Soldiers for glory. For honor. For power. One rule. One order. OUR Dark Order.

Oh the life of serving lightbringers. A soldier, a meer commoner, all the same in the eyes of the lightbringer nobles. Serve them, fight for them, watch as they line there pockets with gold and claim fame and fortune for thier noble families.
Smite them all to hell I say. What am I thinking? I have chosen to serve the light, it is my duty. I will make my rounds patrolling and training to perfect my mastery of archery and put some gold in my pocket. Such is the life of a soldier of the light.

*forward a few hours into the dungeon Shame*

*sigh* I am here. Slaying boring earth elemental after earth elemental. Oh yes, a scorpion. *kills it and continues on*

*rounds a corner in the dungeon and runs into an old friend*

"Hello Tezrian. Long time no see. Where have ya been hiding?" I asked exitedly.

"Aye, I have been training and gathering reagents. I have joined the Dark Order." she said.

"Dark Order? I have heard rumors of them. They are evil. Against the light." I exclaimed.

"Evil only as serving ourselves and not living under others rule." she said with a snicker.

"Dark Order has provided me a home. I serve the dark daughter of Lord Tarothin, Imryrr Armunn." she said.

"I would like to hear more about this Dark Order" I said with much interest.

"You may accompany me to the Dark Order Keep when I am done training and return to the Keep. I will find you when I'm ready." she said hastily then ran off down the dungeon.

*continues on with his training while thinking things over in his head*

A path I stand before. A path of light, or a path of potential darkness. Yet so clearly different but so intertwined. I have served the light all my life, driven by the hatred of the slavers. How do I turn away from the path of light and virtues?

*thinks of Tezrian and her flowing beautiful red hair*

Ah Tez, the woman I lust after. The lust for a woman. The one unstopable power in the universe that will turn a Holy man evil, befall the greatest of empires, raise great armies of conquest and turn a friend to a murderer of loved ones.
I will follow the path of darkness for her.

*Tez returns*

"Are you ready to accompany me to the Keep?" she asked.

"Yes." I answered.

I will see what this Dark Order, this new family, has to offer and if I can serve.....
