UNDERWORLD "What do you have for me Roshi? speak." Xenark asked as soon as he heard the door creek open with someone stepping into the room and felt a presence coming up behind him. Roshi, his closest and most trusted minion came to a stop behind his Lord and bowed in respect before speaking. "My Lord, the materials and ingredients are ready as well as the location we are to use. It's time for us to begin my Lord." Roshi answered, bowing respectfully. But the hessistance in his voice hadn't gone unoticed by the dark Lord of the underworld.Xenark could tell that Roshi had something else on his mind but was holding back in fear of triggering his anger.This particular servant of his has never been one to keep his mouth closed. No matter how much Xenark wished he would. Always thinking he had the permission to speak whenever he wants. Or that someone, most especially Xenark himself could possibly care for one of unwanted opinions even if they were the only ones left. Xenark didn't
UNDERWORLD But his back was to him and Roshi reminded himself that it would be close to impossible to make out anything like that while his back remained facing him. Whatever he had to say he would have to go in blind and hope it doesn't end with his head on a spike. "What about the project Roshi, has something gone wrong? Are the ingredients not complete? Do we need a bigger cave?" Xenark asked, his voice void if emotions as he kept his back facing his servant. "No my Lord Xenark none of that at all. Everything is as it should be. Even better as a matter of fact."Roshi answered, his forehead starting to sweat as he prepared to say what was in his mind. "Then what is the matter Roshi?"Xenark asked again and Roshi blew out a breath as he started to speak, each word that came out of his mouth causing him to sweat even more as he addressed his master and lord, not having an idea what his fate would be after what he was about to say. "I just __ My Lord I just can't help but worry.
THE UNDERWORLD (PREPARATIONS) Whatever his Lord Xenark asked— more like ordered of him— Roshi made sure to do everything within his powers to get it done and that too to his utmost satisfaction. But it was times like this one that Roshi remembered exactly what it feels like to work for one as high and ad strict as the almighty lord of the underworld. Xenark permits no form of mistakes. There was no chance for errors to be made when you work for him and whatever he asks to be done he demanded be done with literal perfection. And now how was Roshi to tell him that the search for the gatekeeper had once again turned out to be futile?Lord Xenark detests it when things don't turn out his way, and at this very moment with this very issue, they haven't. All the teams he'd sent out in search of any clue as to the whereabouts of Kilishi had all returned with the same report.The leader of the was nowhere to be found. "Th_ there is still nothing about the whereabouts of the keeper my Lord
AWAKENING Xenark remained silent, not speaking a word for the longest time. Then he asked. "Everything is ready for the task ahead you say?" Xenark asked, finally turning around to face his servant for the first time since he came in. "Yes my Lord." Roshi nodded quickly, feeling the slight relief wash through him at the change in topic. "Very well then, let's not waste anymore time." Xenark said as he started to walk towards the door, his most loyal servant in tow. The mission and experiment for the gurs has been mapped out on Xenark's desk for a long time now.Many a night he'd spent pulling apart old books and ancient scripts in hopes of finding something to help with his mission. Gurrs were an ancient creatures that has been extinct for a time. They weren't supposed to be in existence anymore. But if they helped with what he was planning then Xenark would stop at nothing to have them brought back. He didn't care about all what he might have to do, he was more than ready to
THE GURS MUST RISE Xenark knows it won't be easy but he was set and determined to see his plans accomplished. There was nothing else he would have but that. Nothing else would suffice. Xenark knew exactly what he wanted, what he was after. And now that he had finally been able to gather up a the ingredients needed and required to recreate one of the vital instruments needed for his mission, he would stop at nothing to have his victory, or watch the world burn for that very purpose. "Is all in order?"Xenark asked as he walked into the cave where the activities was to take place, his voice ring out as he addressed the man in charge. "At your command my Lord."The man answered, his head bowed in respect as he addressed his leader. "Very well then, let's proceed!" Xenark ordered, giving his men the go ahead to begin with the project and the men immediately scattered, each man to his position as they began the work on the rebirth of the gurrs. A large fire was kept burning at the c
THE RISE OF GURS No one spoke as everyone stared confused at what was inside of the vesle. Instead a new born gurr coming out of it like Xenark and every other person in the cave had expected the giant man made egg remained.the same, expect for horribly smelling liquid now flowing out of it. "What is this?"Xenark asked angrily, his harsh voice finally breaking the silence. Still no one spoke as no single person had a real answer for had happened.Instead the men continued to look between each other as they quietly asked each other what was wrong. "Will someone explain this before I throw you all into that fire pit!? What is the meaning of this nonsense!!? Where is my gurr?!!" Xenark asked, his angry voice ricocheting off the walls of the large cave, sending his men cowering into themselves in raw fear. "Lord Xenark,"The man in charge started as he stepped forward, pausing to look back at the other men and then down at the obviously failed experiment before turning back to his
THE RELEASE It was already night. Which meant it was completely dark outside save for the bit of lights coming from the moon and the stars. "I_ I mean, Master___" He quickly started again in a poor attempt to repair the damages he'd done but Xenark held up a hand in a silent command for him to be silent. "I suggest you put all your strength and efforts into doing what you are here to do and stop fooling yourself in an attempt to fool me. Get back to work and this time do it right!!!" Xenark commanded darkly and the man jumped in his spot from his tone before saying a quick Yes my Lord and giving a quick bow as as rushed back to his team. Hours past as the men worked tirelessly to build up another egg that was expected to hartch a gurr.Xenark watched with a face void of emotions as the men pushed and rolled the egg into the now empty vesle, dropping it into the pit of blazing fire before and then proceeded on working to power and keep the fire alive. When the time came to take
The metal vesle creaked and everyone froze, holding their breath as the lit came open. "Incompetent fools!!!"Xenark yelled angrily, causing all of his men to flinch and look down in fear as stared back at yet another failure. The large egg was completely melted to liquid this time around, mixed with some of the ravens blood that had been added to the combination when it was built. But just like the first time, there was no sign of a gurr and the men didn't need to be told to know that their master wasn't happy. "You fools must be tired of living. How many trials do you need to reborn just one gurr?!!"Xenark asked, his voice full of rage as he glared hardly at the men around him. No one was brave enough to tell him that a gurr couldn't be considered as 'just' He was making them recreate something that wasn't even supposed to exist anymore and the last thing he should have expected it to be was easy. Again the men wondered what might have gone wrong.Was the raven blood not pure
Radius was a demon with a unique power that made it a formidable opponent for any who dared to face it. Unlike many other demons, Radius did not rely on brute strength or magical spells to defeat its enemies. Instead, it had the ability to move through the earth itself, traversing the underground tunnels and caverns with ease. This gave it a distinct advantage in battle, allowing it to launch surprise attacks on unsuspecting foes and avoid attacks that would otherwise be fatal.As soon as Sanxi and Kilish learned of Radius's existence, they knew they would need to come up with a plan to defeat it. They spent hours researching and studying the demon's movements, trying to find weaknesses that they could exploit. They learned that Radius typically moved through the earth in a straight line, following the path of least resistance. This meant that it was relatively predictable in its movements, and they could anticipate where it would appear next.Sanxi decided that they needed to lure Ra
As Sanxi trained, he became stronger and more confident in his abilities. Kilish was impressed by his progress and knew that he would soon be ready to face the next demon that would inevitably rise.Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months without any sign of a new demon. Sanxi and Kilish continued to train and prepare for the next challenge, but they began to grow restless with the lack of action. They knew that it was only a matter of time before another demon rose, and they wanted to be ready.Finally, after several months of waiting, a new demon emerged from the depths of the underworld. Its name was Gorgor, and it was said to have the power of mind control. Gorgor's appearance was different from any demon that Sanxi and Kilish had faced before. It was much larger, with a hideous face and glowing red eyes that seemed to bore into their souls.Sanxi and Kilish knew that they were facing their toughest challenge yet. Gorgor's mind control powers made it nearly impossible
Sanxi and Kilish had barely recovered from their previous battles before a new demon emerged. This time, the demon was called Roro, and it was said to have the power of mind manipulation, able to control the thoughts and actions of others.The two warriors knew they had to act fast and come up with a strategy to defeat Roro before it could do too much damage. They discussed their plan of attack and decided that Kilish would use his telekinetic powers to try and disrupt Roro's focus while Sanxi used her speed and agility to launch a surprise attack.As they approached the demon, they could feel the weight of its power, as if it was trying to penetrate their minds and manipulate their thoughts. Kilish concentrated hard, and with a burst of energy, he sent a wave of telekinetic energy towards Roro, causing it to lose focus.Sanxi seized the opportunity and charged forward, dodging Roro's attempts to manipulate her mind. She launched a series of lightning-fast attacks, striking the demon
Balta was said to have the power of teleportation, similar to Zalgar, but with the added ability to teleport objects and people with it. Its teleportation was not limited by distance or line of sight, making it an incredibly dangerous opponent.As news of Balta's rise spread, Kilish and Sanxi immediately began to plan their attack. They knew that they had to act quickly, as Balta's powers would make it very difficult to locate and defeat it.Kilish began to research ancient texts and legends, searching for any information that could give them an advantage. He spent days pouring over dusty tomes and scrolls, his eyes growing tired and his mind numb from the endless reading.Finally, Kilish found what he was looking for. He discovered a ritual that would allow him to temporarily suppress Balta's powers of teleportation, giving them a chance to strike.The ritual involved a complex series of incantations and sacrifices, and would require the assistance of Sanxi and several other powerful
As Sanxi and Kilish rested, they both felt a sudden chill run down their spines. They knew what that meant - another demon was about to rise. But this time, they sensed something different. It wasn't just one demon, but three. They looked at each other, and without words, they knew they had to prepare themselves for whatever was to come.The first demon to appear was named Lorax. Lorax was a demon with the power to control the weather. He could summon thunderstorms, blizzards, and hurricanes with a mere snap of his fingers. As he emerged from the darkness, he immediately raised his arms and called forth a bolt of lightning. Sanxi and Kilish dodged the attack and began to counter with their own moves. But Lorax was not easily defeated, and he retaliated with more ferocity. He summoned a blizzard that almost froze Sanxi and Kilish in their tracks, but they were able to overcome it with their resilience.The second demon to appear was named Roko. Roko was a demon with the power of streng
As they made their way out of the temple, Master Kilish and Sanxi knew that they could not afford to fail. The fate of the world rested on their shoulders, and they were determined to do whatever it took to defeat Kalza.Sanxi was a young man, but he was just as committed to the cause as Master Kilish. He had trained hard for this moment, and he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.Together, they set off towards Kalza's lair, located deep in the heart of the Forbidden Forest. They knew that it would be a dangerous journey, filled with traps and obstacles designed to prevent them from reaching their goal.But they were not deterred. With the Orb of Destruction in hand, they were unstoppable.As they made their way through the forest, they encountered many dangerous creatures. But Master Kilish and Sanxi were skilled warriors, and they were able to defeat each one with ease.Finally, they reached Kalza's lair. It was a dark, foreboding place, filled with the stench of death
As Kilish and Sanxi continued their journey, they were suddenly met with a new challenge in the form of another demon. This demon was known as Pitolo, and it had the power of invisibility. This meant that it could move about undetected and launch surprise attacks, making it an incredibly dangerous opponent to face in battle.As soon as they heard of the demon's powers, Kilish and Sanxi knew that they needed to come up with a plan if they were going to stand a chance against it. They began to train even harder, focusing on developing their senses and instincts so that they could detect Pitolo's movements even when it was invisible.Their training paid off, as they were able to sense Pitolo's presence even before it launched its first attack. The demon was swift and powerful, but Kilish and Sanxi were able to dodge its strikes and counter with attacks of their own.Pitolo was a master of deception, often using its invisibility to create illusions and disorient its opponents. But Kilish
Rodin, the demon of division, rose from the depths of the underworld, with his eyes gleaming with an ominous light. His demonic power was a unique one; he had the ability to split himself into three different entities.Sanxi and Kilish had barely finished recovering from their previous battle with Moorax when they heard the news of Rodin's arrival. They knew that this was going to be a tough fight, but they had no idea what they were up against.Rodin appeared before them, his body splitting into three identical copies of himself. Each copy had a distinct aura of darkness around them, and the air was thick with the stench of sulfur."Welcome, warriors," Rodin said, his voice cold and sinister. "I have come to claim your souls, and you shall not stand in my way."Sanxi and Kilish stood firm, their determination to protect their kingdom and people unwavering."Your threats mean nothing to us," Kilish replied, his voice filled with conviction. "We will never allow demons like you to harm
As Moorax rose, Kilish had just returned from his retreat, feeling re-energized and stronger than ever. Sanxi filled him in on the latest demon that had risen, and they both knew that they had to act quickly.Kilish suggested that they split up and search for Moorax in different areas of the kingdom. He believed that if they could pinpoint his location, they could launch a surprise attack and take him down before he had a chance to use his powers against them.Sanxi agreed and they set off in different directions. Kilish headed towards the mountains, where he believed Moorax would be drawn to the rich mineral deposits in the area. Sanxi headed towards the outskirts of the kingdom, where he thought Moorax might be gathering earth to strengthen himself.As Kilish climbed higher and higher up the mountain, he could feel the power of the earth beneath him growing stronger. He knew that Moorax was close. Suddenly, he heard a loud rumbling sound coming from deep within the mountain. Kilish
