[106] Scorn: Maylstrom's Invasion of Verminasia Sat Aug 26 21:44:50 2006 To: all -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It was supposed to be a sneak attack" the great red dragon Maylstrom thought to himself. "It was supposed to be a quick victory. The weeks I spent gathering the tribes from the tropical south all wasted because of Seanan." The dragon knew shortly before the battle that the mage Seanan had sent word about the invasion. He had warned everyone. And Verminasia still almost fell. "I had not expected all who call themselves good or otherwise to assist. How the world has changed." Maylstrom flew down into the woods almost landing on a startled traveler. With one effortless motion, he bit the man in half. Looking down at the dead mans face, Maylstrom frowned. "This world will not fall to force. Yes... I understand now. It will fall to greed." Maylstrom studied the dead mans face carefully. His massive form shrunk down until it matched every fiber of the dead mans. "I have a better plan and if I must walk as one of them for a while, then so be it." The human walked away from the corpse and headed for the city near by. |
