Orthos, Crystal Wyrm Ascendant
As the Wyrm tunnels through the planet for its 'training' for the later fight against the shroud, it is suddenly cut off by another coming up from below. The Wyrm dodges, and is forced to change direction by another of the forces. The two others slowly force Orthos to come up upon the surface of a Plateau, storm clouds overhead. The wyrm gets into a sitting position as the two come out of the ground in front of him. To the Wyrm's suprise, it is
both of the others that were supposedly prophecized to fight the shroud, and both show signs of being under its influence.
The recently corrupted 'speaks' to Orthos in the language of the Crystal Wyrms, "
The teachings about the shroud are false, brother of the prophecy. Join us in the listening of the prophecy, and be enlightened."
Tanzeret, Jotun Oracle Ascendant
The Oracle finished his speech, and suddenly, some of the Religeon's inquisitors arrive. The trolls the group has brought begins to force the crowd to disperse, and you see a few wounded. One of the Jotun inquisitors comes over to the Oracle. The Jotun throws the Oracle off of the platform, onto the ground below, and as the Oracle grimaces from the pain of another bone breaking from the fall. The Inquisitor shouts to the panicking crowd, "Do not believe the lies of this man! He is attempting you to fall from the glory of Tantiy, and fall into the pits of the Malevolence! He is a useless Jotun, trying to get you to follow him down to the path of man! Do not forget what happened, when they fell from the grace of the Tantiy's creation, and turned towards the Malevolence! The first wars erupted and they were changed into abominations! This one wants to have the same befall you! Do not listen!"
When the Inquisitor had finished, the last of the people had been forced from the area. The Inquisitor lept down, landing upon one of the cripple's broken legs, causing the Oracle further pain. The Inquisitor then spoke to the Oracle, "Now that that is taken care of, what should we do with you?"
Blutegel, Unified Merfolk Ascendant
The unified merfolk wanders through the halls of the abandoned city, a sense of unease pervading through the being. Why had this place been left like this? Other cities that fell had been scrapped to be added to the larger cities, but this one was left alone. It struggled to recall what was known about the fall of this city, but all it could remember was that within a month of the last visitors to the place, all of the inhabitants had disappeared. The combined creature wandered its way to past one of the old quarters, when it heard a whisper. Blutegel stopped to listen, but could barely hear it. It wandered over to the door and opened it. There was nothing inside. It then felt a cold chill brush up against it, and when it began to turn, the unified merfolk heard the whispered, echoing words, "Do not turn around."
