The Awakening
"The Awakening"
A very stormy night was this July 18, 1704 when the evil wizard Danaren, sent his minions to the north gate of the surrounding walls of HauntWise Palace the ruling home of Rofi Bloodrain, the young but vicious King of SevenGate. There were six who ventured fearfully to HauntWise, they did not intend to go inside the ancient wall, good thing as it would have been utter suicide, "I think we were sent on this mission because Danaren considers us expendable." Grumbled Emaro, one of Danaren's main henchmen "We are sent to almost certain death to retrieve the body of a dead Prince of BlackDomain, what is Danaren thinking?" Asked Morgain another of the legion of the damned as they called themselves because of this deadly mission.
They cam to Treasen's grave and quickly but very carefully unearthed the body of Treasen. There lay a beautiful silver and black coffin in which lay Treasen. "This is what we need. This is Treasen!" Edar shouted before he remembered where they were. "Who goes there? Advance and be recognized!" Shouted Cyrana Cryptis from his perch on the high tower of BiLoft. The suddenly frightened workers fled as fast as possibly carrying the heavy silver coffin between them, they ran to the region called Soffis and Danaren scooped up his legion, coffin and all, and whisked them to his lair of evil in FalconsCrest Keep. He eyed the coffin eagerly, his dark as hell-pit black-brown eyes searched for the mark to open the entombment of Treasen who had some seven years prior to this, died for the life of our own J. Sebastain as the music of J. Sebastian made even Treasen's instable mind calm. His own father, the evil LeShane Subrad had taken the life of his youngest child himself, causing dire hardship between he and his wife, the evil incarnate, Gliden.
"I know Rofi sealed you in here to keep you from the world that rejected you, Treasen, but I have a use for you. You shall take the Gauntlet of Power from Johann Pachelbel and bring it to me along with his lifeless body!" Danaren said as he used his magic staff to search the well defined runes on the coffin, this was done to confuse would be grave robbers. "So, you have gained much wisdom in your reign as King of Rof have you Rofi? It shall be for naught as I shall revive Treasen and make him an intrument to do my bidding!" The evil young wizard said with a wicked smirk across his thin face, his pallor skin flushed with frustration as he brushedn his hand along the seal on the coffin. "How can I reach you Treasen? There must be a way in to get to you." Danaren whispered as he comtemplated his prize within. "Perhaps a few drops of blood from one of his kindred would break the seal." Spoke Emidoc, Danaren's best friend. "You may well be right at that. Go then, fetch me the blood of Oublion DeathRain." Danaren said, "Oublion? It could not be one of the others? Perhaps Tovon, or Eberten?" Emidoc failry whimpered, "Enough! Ouiblion is the one he wa s closest to, so it must be Oublion! Now go!" Danaren said heartlessly, he indeed, had no compassion for anyone, not even his closest friend. Danaren was a cold and ungiving wizard with a heart as cold as the frozen wastelands of the North Country where Stav hailed from.
"I need this entire vile filled with the blood of Oublion DeathRain. Make certain no impurities come in contact with it. It must remain as pure as the blood of the insane one himself." Danaren said as he produced a vile as large as a horseshoe nail. "I am supposed to get blood from Oublion how?" Emidoc asked, "Use your imagination Emidoc. You once imagined yourself as King of Rof and you are still not." Danaren said, "If I am caught Rofi will kill me! It is suicide!" Emidoc said fearfully, "Rofi BloodRain is a child. Certainlly you are not afraid of a child, are you?" Danaren asked, "This one, any one with a stable thought would be afraid of." Emidoc said, Danaren laughed, "Well the sooner you complete your task the better we shall all be. I will soon have the Gauntlet of Power and you, my dearest Emidoc, shall be the second to not the Champion of the Gauntlet,but more over, the Master of the Gauntlet of Power!" Danaren's maniacl laugh rang throughout his castle called FalconsCrest Keep. Very reluctantly, Emidoc left for SevenGate and an unknown fate which awaited him.
"Oh the things I do for you Danaren. It is best that I am your closest friend or this would not be in my interest to be doing this mision of suicidal tendencies. Otherwise wizard, you would be doing this on your own." Emidoc spoke to a Danaren who was not there, good thing as Danaren's cold heart would not have stopped him from smitting even his closest freind. Emidoc knew this too, likely why he never said such things to Danaren's face. Emidoc reached the west wall of the Seventh Realm and called softly top the darkness, "Let what is seen, be unseen and appear as a dream." He was suddenly enveloped with a misty cloud which made him appear in dreamscape form, he then moved easily throught he black as hell-pits corridors of the eerie palace called HauntWise. "Gods of the Realm, this is a true fortress. No wonder no one can penetrate HauntWise. This place is a cavern above ground!" The wizard's apprentice said as he crept about looking for Oublion. He opened a door and went in cautiously approaching the sleeping figure, itwas not Oublion, the sleeping auburn haired personage was none other than Rofi himself, Fearfully, Emidoc turned and left as quick as he could, "Gods of the Realms! Rofi! Goddess Beyri be with me!" He said as he fairly ran down a black as hell's night corridor. he crept into a dark room and used his illuminant eyes to light the room, but not enough to wake the sleeper, this time it was Oublion.
"Oublion, at last." Emidoc said in a whisper, he approached the giant immortal and slit the palm of the right hand open and collected the necessary blood easily enough, then as Oublion began to stir a little Emidoc fled and in doing so released the spell of dreamscape from over the Palace HauntWise. The sudden pain woke Oublion and he sat up and said "What is this?" The slave girl he was sleeping with opened her eyes and purred, "I guess you must have cut yourself in your sleep my Prince." "I should not have thought so, on the other hand who knows." Oublion said as he got up and made his way to the wash stand, he ripped a long piece of cloth from the pile of hand rags there and wrapped up the wound, it was on his way back to bed that a lightning strike illuminated a misty footprint very fresh on the floor, "WHAT IS THIS?" His great voice rang throughout HauntWise in the process waking Rofi from a sound sleep, "Gods of Rof! What was that?" He scrambled from his bed and ran out into the dark corridor and down the small stair well to Oublion's room, "OUBLION? IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?" The door whipped open and the giant Prince of BlackDomain stood there angry and seething through grit teeth. "LOOK AT THIS!" He demanded of his young King, Rofi looked at the bound cut on Oublion's hand and then the giant immortal shouted, "NOW, LOOK AT THAT!" And Rofi looked down at the floor of Oublion's room and there was the misty foot print still, "WIZARDS!" Rofi growled menacingly, "Wizards? Here? In HauntWise? But how my King?" asked the slave girl, whose name was Marna. "They come and go as they please in misty forms called dreamscapes child, I must find out who has been here. Go now Marna, fix our breakfast we shall be to the dining room soon." Rofi said kindly to the girl, "Sire. What shall I make you for breakfast?" Marna asked cautiously, "Bacon and whatever else, but lots of bacon to be certain. Eggs will be very nice." Rofi said, Marna looked to Oublion who nodded and waved his hand indicating her to go. After Marna left, Rofi glared at the foot print and spat, "Wizards! Hmph! Thieving monsters. Did they take anything from you Oublion?" Rofi asked, "YES! MY BLOOD! WHAT DO THEY NEED THAT FOR?" Oublion roared, "I know not unless..." Rofi and Oublion looked into each others' eyes and shouted "TREASEN!" And they fairly flew out Oublion's window which was nearest Treasen's grave and they lit safe and sound on the bare earth there within the ancient cemetery of Rof. They ran to the northest region and found the grave of Treasen violated, "NOOOOOOOO!" Oublion shouted so that even far away in Vienna Pach was rousted from his sleep by the great howl like a million wolves. "Mary Magdelaine! Oublion DeathRain! What could be wrong?" The kinestic asked the air around him, the usually calm eye of Sygrace was suddenly an eerie jaded green and glowing like a hot coal. This was a warning of pending danger of the worst possible sort, but what? "Sygrace? What is it?" Pach asked in a small frightened voice, "Vioku ti augo, mi naka whi ghi via Treasen." Answered Sygrace, Pach's wife, Judith was awake and though she did not understand most of what was said, she recognized the name of Treasen. "What about Treasen? Is he not dead Johann?" She asked, "Yes. Sygrace said, there is a dire dread in the air and it smells of Treasen." Pach answered his wife openly, she and his children Wilhelm, Igeni and Charles were quite accustomed to the goings on of Pach, Wilhelm and Igeni were thrilled but often Judith was terrified that he would die in a battle. "But, Treasen is dead. He cannot be a problem now." Judith almost whimpered, "Judith, my Sweet Rose, you know in the dealings I have any strange occurance may manifest itself. There is obviously a reason for Treasen to be a threat once more." Pach said as he grabbed up the gauntlet and it actually burned his hand, he dropped it with a yelp from his soft lips, "Johann? Are you alright?" Judith asked concernedly, "The Gauntlet. It is very hot. It must be the pending danger. Sygrace says it is a deadly threat not simply dangerous." Pach spoke these words as though dangerous were the lesser of two evils. Evidently it was.
In FalconsCrest Keep Emidoc returned with the blood vile and Danaren opened it and mixed half with morning glory oil and this opened the coffin of Treasen by melting away the seal placed by Rofi. He opened the coffin revealing Treasen's body, "Ah there you are my beautiful Prince. I shall make you alive again, only not as you were." Danaren said with a wicked laugh, Emidoc stood fearfully by, he so desparatly feared Treasen the insane Prince of BlackDomain. Danaren mixed trhe remainder of Oublion's blood with belladonna poison and opened Treasen's mouth and poured the deadly mixture down the throat of the dead Prince. Then he spoke the words of revival in the language of BlackDomain, "Siova timik sadu, sadu, sadu, minen touk tiarouk!" His voice was loud, demanding and clear, in an instant Treasen's dark eyes opened slowly, he drew a breath, a taste unfelt for a number of years. "I am the master of your mind now Treasen. I am Danaren, Wizard of FalconsCrest Keep. You will do my bidding for me now. Do you understand me Treasen?" Danaren asked the insane one, Treasen 's eyes were not the usual playful eyes if a childish mind, but rather, hateful, murderous orbs of cold unrelenting and unfeeling lack of emotion. "What is your desire Danaren my master?" Treasen asked, ""You will go to Vienna and take the Gauntlet of Power from Johann Pachelbel and bring me the body of the Champion there and then shall I claim the Gauntlet as mine and proclaim I am the Master of the gauntlet of Power!" Danaren said with an evil smirk on his actually quite handsome face. Without another word Treasen left for Vienna. Meanwhile in HauntWise Palace the name Rofi extracted from the mist manifested itself as "Emidoc", "A minion of that slime Danaren. I might have known." Said Rofi, "What does he want Treasen for though?" Oublion asked, "The Gauntlet of Power!" Rofi shouted, "We must make haste for Vienna!" Said the king of SevenGate as he grabbed his cloak of flight and ran for the west balcony on the seventh story of HauntWise. Oublion caught the tail winds of Rofi's flight and followed easily on his King's open air flight. They made it to Vienna but not before Treasen. Just as they lit in Canon Circle a mighty thunderbolt was seen and thunder deafened everyone in town, hundreds of unsuspecting people poured out of their houses to see what was happening, I and my friend Viktor were among them, further away stood J. Sebastian and his family, Antonio and his adopted son Adriano, and Pach and Judith, the Pachelbel children remained in the house knowing he dangers their father often faces. In an instant Treasen appeared atop a church his deadly crossbow armed with four arrows. He shot them at the unsuspecting crowd killing six people with just the four arrows, Oublion and Rofi appeared at that exact instant, "Mary Magdelaine!" Pach shouted in disbelief. "TREASEN! STOP!" Oublion shouted to his brother, Treasen turned to Oublion and snarled, he drew his armed finger bows up and shot them at Oublion and Rofi, Oublion managed to move out of the way, Rofi did not though as the arrow struck him full in the chest. Rofi cried out in unspeakable pain as he fell to the ground bleeding and possibly even dying. "Sweet Savior!" Pach screamed as he watched the seemingly unshakable Rofi fall. The young Champion strapped on the Gauntlet of Power and ran forth to meet Treasen, "Damn it Treasen! What are you doing?" Oublion shouted at his beloved brother, Treasen faced Oublion and snarled again, itb was fearsome to see Treasen as a dangerous vent of unbridled vicious power instead of the usually playful but misguided child of BlackDomain. "Gowiva nok tunia vonulu Sebe Oublion!" Treasen shouted then aimed another arrow at his brotherr, this time the arrow found its mark in Oublion's right bicep. Oublion bellowed in pain as the barbed tipped arrow ripped through his arm and was left hanging on the other side of his mighty bicep. Treasen then leapt from the church tower and landed on the cobblestones within reach of Pach. "Good evening Champion!" was all he said as he shot a deadly barbed arrow into Pach's heart killing the young Champion instantly, Judith screamed in agony and terror.
Treasen scooped up the body of Pach and vanished into no where. "PACH! NOOO!" Schouted Antonio, everyone was dumbstruck to what just happened, Rofi, mortally wounded, Oublion wounded at all and Pach dead and taken? This could not be. Treasen took the Gauntlet of Power from Pach and held it close to him. "Mine!" Treasen grinned wickedly and took Pach's body to Danaren.
I had Oublion carry Rofi intro my inn and up the stairs to room 16, here the King of SevenGate was tended to and so was Oublion's wound. "What happened to Treasen ,Oublion?" J. Sebastian asked, "If I knew I would ratify it Bach." Oublion said, "Rofi said it is a wizard named Danaren, have you heard of him?" The giant immortal asked, "I have." Came a voice from behind the others crowded around Rofi and Oublion, it was Oublion's brother, Ignazi Decaden, "I would have expected you to have Ignazi. There were many wizards constantly mulling around Idengate. Who then is this Danaren?" Oublion fairly demanded, "He is a power monger. He feeds on power and will use any source to get it." If he gets his hands on Pach's Gauntlet of Power, he will be unstoppable." Ignazi said, "HE HAS THE GAUNTLET ALREADY IGNAZI! HE MURDERED PACH AND TOOK THEM BOTH AWAY TO LORD KNOWS WHERE!" Antonio shouted, he was still very excited concerning the events around that early morning. "Oh how awful! Then nothing will stop Danaren now!" Ignazi said disheartened. Was all hope lost?
Meanwhile in Danaren's castle, the evil wizard eyed Pach's lifeless body and stroked the soft cheek of the dead Champion, "Perfect. Just what I need. Only one thing more now. The Gauntlet of Power, Treasen." Danaren said as he put his arms out to accept the Gauntlet. Treasen growled menacingly and said, "No!"Danaren was shocked, "GIVE THE GAUNTLET TO ME TREASEN!" Danaren said forcefully as a collection of his minions gathered in the altar room, "I SAID NO!" Growled Treasen as he waved his hand and obliterated the roomful of minions, Emidoc was shocked at this display of power, "He is turned on you Danaren!" Emidoc said, "NO!" Danaren shouted as he drew a deadly silver blade and stood poised to destroy Treasen if the young Prince of BlackDomain further resisted . Treasen grinned an evil smirk and drew his arm up and outward , Danaren had never seen a native of the land of BlackDomain use a swatch wave as a means of defence, "Fool, I know well the defence tactics of BlackDomain, you are not fooling me one bit Treasen, I know that is not a defence stance." Danaren said as he laughed at Treasen, not a wise idea, insane as Treasen may have been, his mind was incredibly wily in other ways, "Yes, it is Danaren." Treasen said in a heartbeat Treasen shot one of his deadly accurate wristebows and impaled Danaren's evil heart, Emidoc was shocked and tried to stop the insane one, but that was to no availe as Treasen easily smote the wizards apprentice by ripping his head off and throwing it on top of Danaren's body. Then he placed the Gauntlet on his own arm and claimed absolute power. This ultimately struck fear into the hearts of Isentari, the insane Treasen, in possession of the Gauntlet of Power? The idea was terrifying. He left for Vienna once more with the body of Pach in his left arm, he unceremoniously threw the body of the Champion onto the cobblestones, "Pach! Sweet Savior! We are doomed!" Shouted Viktor as he collected the dead Champion. "Maybe he will listen to me." J. Sebastian ventured, "Perhaps, he died for you the first time, perhaps, yes, he will listen this time as well." Antonio said hopefully.
They hurried to J. Sebastian's home and grabbed the violin on the kitchen table, they ran to the town square and J. Sebastian stood tall and straight if not terrified out of his wits, if this failed what then? He played his music as best his trembling fingers allowed. Treasen heard the music and stopped his onslaught in mid motion, he followed the music to J. Sebastian who played the music that calmed Treasen before, hoping nothing will have changed. Treasen stood listening and carefully released the Gauntlet of Power from his arm and laid it at J. Sebastian's feet, then with one of his own barb tipped arrows and thrust it into his heart taking his own life and giving back to those whose he took. J. Sebastian shouted, "NO! TREASEN!" But it was too late, Treasen was returned to the dead and all he killed were revived except Danaren and his legions. They were gone for good, but all the townfolk who died including Pach and Rofi were revived and this time when Rofi reburied Treasen only he, Oublion and Pach, knew where the new gravesite was.
In Pace Requiescat, Treasen
