| The general looked up to find a dark knight with a nasty blade. He saw the knight just long enough to activate time stop. The knight, in the middle of swinging his sword stood there frozen. Peterson placed a rock under the blade for ammusement and walked off next to the only other person that stayed during the attack of the dragon. The mighty blade of the knight sliced through the rock with tremendous force like a knife through a melted stick of butter. "God grant you to die B**ch!!!" The General unloaded a machine gun clip on the knight driving him to his horse. The knight took off in thunder and fury. "alright where the hell am i?!?" The general put away his gun and walked into mooregate panting. "Hello friend" Warder stood behind him "Who the hell are you?" "I am Warder, and god bless thy cursed speech" "well I'm five star General Peterson, so you call me general sir before anything you say. I am an experimental time commando" I don't know what the f**K happened but now im here........help me leave" A gust of wind blew behind him "Hello General! I am arcti......" The general spun around half startled to death; he spat out hundreds of curse words before greeting the all mighty immortal with "What the hell do you want?" The powerful god frowned at him and grabed him around the neck with the energy being exerted from his right arm. "That!!!" Arctidus yelled so that all of cosrin could hear him. The ground shook as he spoke. Birds took to the skies. "That! That is what life will turn into all too soon!" "you.......you are too arrogant. I would kill you now but laws bind me and Clarity wishes to see you...." "Who is clarity oh lord?" Peterson mocked "Do you have any idea what rank you are talking.." But he vanished before he said another word. Arctidus calmely explained to the newly formed cattle-like audience that he is on Clarity's protective island now. Archadis, Father of Chrisbo, stood at the center of Senturium, the great Pinnacle Tower. The Pinnacle Tower was the highest point in the utopian realmz of Senturium. It stretched up for miles. From its highest point. One could see as far as the edges of the world. To the east, lay the golden kingdom of Arctidus' family, his own tower lay on the eastern turret of the kingdom. To the west he could see the forests of eternal light. To the south lay the shores of the blessed waters, and to the north was the immense fortess of the planes. From there one could transport themselves to any plane whether it be the highest realm of the heavens, or the lowest pit of the hells. Archadis gestured at the fortess and in a flash of light, appeared at the gateway to the prime. Such a portal took one to the mysterious "key island", where one would then fly south to the mortal world of Cosrin. Archadis further gestured at the ground below him. A hazey cloud opened itself in the floor. He looked down upon cosrin. He saw a fire fight as he watched a dark knight battle a......a mortal......but not of this land....he had a crossbow of sorts. perhaps a ballista... strange.. He gazed closer. The dark knight was....HEROD! Curse that corrupted lad! Oh the days when ones own grandson defects to the unspoken studies of terror! May the light see him through! But what of this terror knight? Could it be that Ulius is free again? it could not be so. Were he set free the entire land of Cosrin would be a flaming void. Archadis' mind trailed back to the days when he was a lad and his great ancestor, Immortal Arctidus, the creator, told him during his schooling days of the destructive powers of terror and about Ulius. Arctidus, THE greater immortal, created Senturium from the void of the upper planes. He and many other immortals that he then allowed entrance to, began to create life throughout the magnificant fields and heavenly mountain ranges. They then formed a pact not to interfere with mortal life unless absolutely unavoidable or to stop another immortal of evil intent. This immortal was Ulius. Ulius came into being an immortal without a purpose. He felt great jealousy for Arctidus and had an unbreakable animosity for him. One day, overhearing some of the other immortals, he heard of a greater immortal that had once tampered with fear. He attempted to mix the powers of absolute fear with the tempting power of persuasion and the destructive power of all gods of war. He wanted to create a new type of magic what would freeze beings in fear yet keep them interested in the devastation that he wreaked upon them. Such a sadistic power was created that it ingulfed him and almost his entire world. What was left of that land lay on the 14th plane of the Hells, one that no mortal or immortal alike would venture into it. Ulius went there one day. He found demons of terroristic power, unthinkable power, and of no boundary, spawning themselfs from, nothing as they faught eachother. They molded the plane itself to each of their own advantage. The entire world was constantly warping itself it nearly killed Ulius. This sparked something in the immortal. He never returned from that plane for hundreds of thousands of years. When he did, he had mastered the power he called TERROR, more obliterating than any immortal ever to come into being. He immediately wasted no time in attacking Senturium in hope of twisting the land into an evil empire. Archadis remembered the day that Ulius attacked. It was as if he were in hell itself, yet only for a spit moment. In exactly 15 seconds time all of senturium had been destroyed and then returned to its normal state. Archadis found himself nearly bled to death and then healed, miraculously. It was then that he saw Ulius battle Arctidus. Ulius brought forth the worst of his creations but Arctidus fended them off with the powers of divine light until finally driving Ulius back to the hells he had come from. All was well until later than day when day became night and the land lit up in flames again. He rushed to where Ulius was, not quite sure of Arctidus' location. With all speed he found Chrisbo covered in demons, fighting them as if it were his last day. Risking his own death, Archadis engaged the demons and destroyed them bringing him down to near death......but this time without heal. He drove his sword through Ulius and called upon the council of Gods. He used the last of his power to transport Chrisbo to a safe place. He then placed an artificial history in the lads head to make him think he had defeated a dark lord and was on a quest for a sword of the Paladins. Such a sword existed, but had never been found..... Archadis snapped back to real time.... "I must go to Cosrin". he thought to himself........ "to prevent total annhilation..." |
