Chapter 4

How far away from Keld are we?”
     “What? Oh sorry Stratadon. We are approximately one days march away.”
     Prophet piped in, “it’s getting dark sir may I suggest that we set up camp and give the soldiers some rest.”
     “Good idea Prophet.”
     Stopping his Gargadon Stratadon dismounted and turned towards his troops, “Okay men we’re setting up camp here. I need four volunteers to keep watch.”
     “We’ll do it,” Lieutenants Sinnertwin and QW piped in at the same time.
     “That’s two any body else?”
     At that two other arms slowly raised up. “Alright, everyone else I want you to get some sleep,” with that Strat turned and slowly started to walk around the area they decided to camp out at.
     “Sir?”
     “What is it Prophet?”
     “I just realized something.”
     “What’s that?”
     “If we attack the phyrexians tonight we could catch them by surprise and our army would ha -”
     “Shhhh,” Stratadon silenced Prophet, “did you hear that?”
     “I’m afraid I didn’t sir.”
     “Listen”
     “It sounds as if there is a battle at the camp.”
The two comrades heard a long piercing howl. As they turned towards the camp they saw several extremely huge kavu attacking the soldiers. “What do we do sir?” Prophet quizzed.
     We have to help the men.”
With that they both drew their weapons and charged towards the camp.


“Hey QW I’m going to get some shut eye do you mind keeping watch first?”
     “Go ahead Sinnertwin. I’ll take first watch and you can take second.”
     “Did you hear that?” Dias asked.
     “Yeah it sounds like Bowman and Charles are getting into another fight.”
     “Sir, can Dias and I go watch?” Cletus pleaded.
     “Yeah we’ll take the first watch.”
With that Dias and Cletus ran off.

After a while the sounds of the fight slowly died. “Hey Sinnertwin.” QW says shaking his friend awake, “where are Dias and Cletus?”
     “I don’t know.”
     “I’m going to go look for them.”
     “Fine I’ll be right here.” Sinnertwin replied sleepily.
With that QW turned towards the dark camp and slowly edged towards it. Within moments Sinnertwin was falling asleep.
     “Hello?”
     “Hey is anyone there”
     “It’s dark can someone turn on a lantern?”
QW heard a loud snap and turning around he found himself staring face to face with a large wolf like kavu. QW tried to draw his sword but was knocked down with a swift smack from the kavu’s massive claw. The agile beast stared straight down at QW and then took his head in both of its fore claws and crushed QW head.

Sinnertwin awoke with a start. He was a very light sleeper and as soon as he heard a twig snap his eyes were open and his hand was reaching for the small battle axe that he carried instead of a sword. As the thing neared him he brought the axe to bear and one blade rested against the jugular of what ever it was that stood in front of him.
     A raspy voice sounded out, “Who do you think you are?”
     “I am Sinnertwin lieutenant of the red faction of the Coalition.”
     “Hahahahahahahaha.”
As the voice laughed Sinnertwin was lifted off of his feet and a black orb was brought to his face it started to pulse. Sinnertwin had his eye’s shut as hard as he could. “Open your eye’s boy and see your future,” the voice rasped out.
Sinnertwin opened his eyes and as he did the figure moved out of the shadows. Sinnertwin found himself staring straight at the mystical Phyrexian praetor Reaper. With a mighty thrust Reaper drove the black orb into Sinnertwin’s chest. And then pulled his hand out. Sinnertwin stopped struggling and let himself relax.
     “Perfect,” Reaper hissed, “my device is complete with this we will defeat the Dominarians and lay claim to what is rightfully ours.”

A few hours later Stratadon slowly brought himself back into consciousness. He got up and looked around. He saw Prophet lying near he hurried over to her and checked for a pulse.
     “She’s still alive. But for how long?” he asked himself.
     “I can help her.”
     “What? Who are you?”
     “I am your new master.”
     “I will never obey you. You scum.”
     “O but you must if you ever wish for your friend to survive through the night.”
And with that Stratadon looked from Prophet to Reaper. He hung his head in defeat and backed away. Reaper glided over to Prophet’s body and took out a small black orb. He thrust it straight into her chest. Prophet opened her eyes and got up.
     “Capture him.” Reaper ordered.
Stratadon looked at Prophet then at the newly arrived Sinnertwin their eyes glowing a dark red. He backed off. As the slowly advanced upon him, he turned and ran. Suddenly a sharp pain shot up the back of his leg and up into his right arm.
     “Auuuuugh!” Stratadon screamed in pain.
Reaper and his two new aids walked up to Stratadon and took him back to Reaper’s laboratory, which was situated far underneath the main camp.
