[ 84] Scorn: Malachive begins his plans. Mon Jun 18 11:58:23 2001 To: all -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Malachive walked through the rubble of what was once Dae'tok. What was once the most powerful Empire in the world was now a pile of rock. No one within hundreds of miles had survived the hit. Other Icewall kingdoms such as Ganth and Nordmaar had even felt the aftershocks. Snow was melted, oceans flooded kingdoms as far as New Thalos and Arkane. This was truly a devastating impact and it could have been a lot worse. Malachive was now unburdened by the limitations of the mortal mind. He knows the secrets to many things beyond mortal comprehension but still, as anyone around his age of 20 years; he couldn't piece a lot of things together. "Of my father wants me to conquer this world, why not just throw a meteor at all kingdoms that resist?" He thought. "Indeed," said a voice from behind him. Malachive had sensed no one near him, so he knew whoever this voice came from was a God of some type. A woman with pale skin and long black hair stood with more beauty in her smile than all wonders of the world combined. Instantly, Malachive recognized her. "Mother!" Malachive said with a boyish excitement. Drakkara embraced her son and for a moment one would never know the evil within these two hearts. "You do not know the trouble your father went through getting the rock to land. The same people who would see you dead everything they could to stop it. So now the responsibility is yours to conquer the world. And while I would have you off this world safe, these events must come to pass" Drakkara said. "I guess I can understand that. Already there are many who attack me." Malachive replied. "Elves, Knights and even kingdoms have come for my head. If not protected by your Black Tower and some of the Demons, my life would already be at an end. "And what of the immortals? The ones who suck life to sustain their own?" "The vampires? Mother, they have long forgotten their dark gift as a prize to be cherished. They have long stopped being thankful for eternal life and immortal powers. They are a lost cause. I have hope for many, but only a few of those are worthy of their gift. And I do mean a seldom few." "Perhaps you should teach them a lesson?" "Can I?" Malachive paused for a moment. "I'm still getting used to this. My powers grow daily and I am coming to understand its limits are far beyond what I imagined." Drakkara grinned an evil smile. "The first steps have been taken. The rest is your responsibility. I will help guide you all that I can, but you should know that the more your father and I involve ourselves, the more the others will become involved as well. Even the neutral Gods fear you and will do what they must to kill you. We created you without their permission or their council. However you were created with purpose and as my son you have all of the tools to ensure our victory. You know what to do." In an instant, she was gone. "Indeed mother, indeed. The beginning of the end is now and I know just how to start." Malachive, his eyes a flaming black. |
