Title: Ascension's End [2]
Author: Lord Rune Artisem
And then all the faces turned to death and ruin... The Darkness returned... And then He appeared...
A face of death with eyes of great red flares... His hands were claws with great spears-like-tips... Greater in size than the deadly Lord of the Abyss... And a voice unlike any I had heard before...
"I have brought you to this place for a single purpose..." He said...
"So I would assume... But who are you and what do you want with me?" I replied after what seemed eternity...
"I am known by many names to many different creatures. I am He who stands within the Void, the greatest of all Darkness, the true Lord of Destruction. And I have brought you here to give you purpose." He sneered...
I said nothing and continued to watch the great terror that stood before me...
"Long have I watched the realm you call Sosaria... And for many of your years has it been protected by a King... A King who was not of the realm of Sosaria... That King is no longer within your realm... Now my many agents have begun to engulf it for their own goals. Many desire to hold power over the weak and to be their new king. And even some desire to create war so that pain and suffering shall flow like crimson blood. You are one who has long perused a path of power even if it meant killing children or enslaving an entire town or even plotting against all those you would call friend. Yes... I know you well, Rune Artisem..." He said with his terrible voice...
"I wish the realm of Sosaria to be no more. It is something that brings out the Light in most creatures and that cannot be. I have need of an Avatar... Someone to bring death to all... Men... Women... Children... Friends... Enemies... Loved ones... I have need of you to do this." He went on...
"And if I should refuse this?" I muttered...
His laughter was even more frightening then his voice. "Should you refuse then I shall destroy your very essence and you will be no more. I shall see to it that the few you actually care for are butchered like cattle in my name!"
"How shall I benefit from this?" I asked...
"I shall grant upon you great power. You shall be free of your little box but you shall be no demi-lich. You shall be Eternal... I will remake you in my own image and grant to you a staff from my essence!" He stated and then returned to his laughter...
"I... accept..." I slowly said...
With that He lifted up his great arms and each of his hands came to each of my sides, but he did not touch me. I then felt a great surge of power throughout my very essence... At first it felt as if I was burning but then that feeling turned to pleasure... The pleasure of power... So much power!!!
"Behold! I have now remade you in my own image! Go forth now my Avatar! Bring death to all that dwell within Sosaria!" He commanded.
"As you wish it, my master..." I said with a new found confidence as I stood, transformed, before He.
I then joined him in laughter and then all went dark to me... I then awoke upon the floor of my tower...
And so my new goal was at hand...
