"The War-lord"

It was the day after Pach had come to us, so December 25, 1694, and very cold and snowy. Pach was up in his room asleep when I knocked on his door and called, "Little Pach, time to rise, it is three o'clock and time to get breakfast for our Christmas gatherers." The young Warlock appeared from the small room designed for washing in. "Be there in one second Reuben." He smiled as he peered around the doorway. "You are amazing Pach. You are even awake before Jenna, and she has been doing this for a while now." I said as I smiled back at him, he was dressed in a plain white shirt with button up sleeves and well taylored black knee-button breeches his bootlets securely on his tiny feet and clean stockings completed his attire. He was just tting his hair back with a black ribbon which finished his look perfectly. He was a vision of splendid young manhood.
In a minute he was ready and we went downstairs, I rapped on Jenna's door, "Rise and with it niece!" I called to her. "One second Uncle." She called impatiently, she was soon ready and joined Pach and I down stairs. She immediately began setting tables while Pach and I went into the kitchen area where Viktor was already hard at work. "Mary Magdelaine! Do you work in your sleep as well Herr Helgaar?" Pach asked Viktor and the giant said, "Well, sometimes I manage to pull myself away from work." We had a good chuckle over that one.
Suddenly the dark was shattered with the sound of a massive explosion, We ran outside to see what had happened if we could. There, on the horizon was a gathered swarm of warriors from the deadly realm called Rof. "What is this about?" I wondered aloud, but Pach was gone, he ran upstairs to get the Gauntlet of Power. "The army of Rof! Mary Magdelaine! What does this mean?" Pach was frantic as he ran back down stairs, he ran in front of me and shouted, "Aurei! Paud di i cout midin Nowme!" (stop! And explain this advance now my General) in the language of Rof. Suddenly a giant monster of an immortal made his way to the front line of the army, the giant was not impressivly muscular, but impressive enough. He weilded a massive sword with the greatest of ease. Pach gasped, he took one step backward in recognition of this monster, the eyes were a strange shade of green, unseen by any till now. "Necat shom be auch tie Oublion, ghet maga, Magnis!" ( I am Oublion, your worst nightmare Champion!) "Ootappa soita chi deeki i Magnis?" (How know you that I am the chosen Champion?") Pach asked, "Jentaro, be ghatu nahara,yoi sio kunu toh Magnis, taren di chak beddi tore?" (I was told to expect the Champion and since you spoke you are he, correct?) The thunderous voice of the monster sliced throught the falling snowstorm. "Maharen vi, copi tian Kinshawn?" (Do you bring a challenge from Kinshawn?") Pach asked, "Better. I bring a challenge from Oublion DeathRain!" And with those words, Oublion advanced and dealt a devastating blow to Pach, which threw the young Champion off his feet but little more damage because it was the Gauntlet that took the brunt of the force. "You challenge me Oublion?" Pach shouted as he leapt to his feet, "Foi, tu ou com pia timiti?" (Yes, and do you accept?) Asked Oublion, "Foi, tia moc!" (Yes, I do) Answered Pach.
The monster Oublion easily 96 inches tall and over 30 stones, compared to Pach at barely 69 inches and not even 10 stones. Clearly Pach was out matched, in every way, save one, intelligence. Pach stood absolutely prepared for anything this giant could throw at him, Oublion attacked with a force Pach could never have prepared for, a bolt of lightning shot from Oublion's fingertips and threw Pach against a brick wall. Pach was dazed but not helpless, he could still defend himself.
"Miu kau!" He shouted in the language of DarkHaven and formed a flaming sword. "PONTU!" Shouted Oublion and in a breath the army of Rof flooded the streets of Vienna, everyone ran for cover against the fury of these warmongers. The marauders burned and pillaged homes and businesses, the home of Tomas Carvener was taken in an instant, he was a widower who wanted to be with his wife, so now, he was.
One of the warriors grabbed up the week old daughter of Marie Sebbet, the frantic Frau Sebbet screamed her protest, that was all it took for Pach who instantly smote the monster with the flaming sword and caught the baby unharmed, with his kinetic mind. He returned the baby girl unharmed to her mother, "Thou shalt harm not the innocent!" Pach shouted at his victim. One of the monsters invaded my inn and attacked Viktor, the giant sliced Viktor's shoulder open and grabbed the Dutch giant with ease and slammed him against the cook stove, which was very hot, Viktor burned his hands arms and legs on the hot stove. Pach ran in and vanquished that one with his double edged makat, a spiral bladed dagger that twists into its victim. "Are you alright Viktor?" Pach called to the giant Dutchman, "I will be, go, stop them Pach." Viktor shouted and made his way outside and lay in the snow to cool the burns. Pach ran back outside, he saw the carnage and destruction and knew he had to do something, "Sycatten CHI'AN!" Pach shouted and in an instant the giant ruby on the Gauntlet of Power glittered and in the blink of an eye, a collossus black dragon shot forth from it.
This was Sygrace, the giant black dragon-priest of Isentari. The icy blue flame shot forth freezing all the army of Rof in their tracks. Except for Oublion, Cyrana and Penlus, the two generals and a captain high mark. "SOUVAN KU OUBLION! MAKU TI OOKU DARU SANTARU!" Spoke the dragon lord (Relinquish now Oublion! Least I kill them all) "Ovak tuf. Wono taug oosan ooko, Parro!" Oublion said, (For now. We shall meet again though, Priest.), "Jesenu espete' taro vai." Sygrace said inn the tongue of Isentari, (So then let it be). And so, grudgingly, Oublion gave the order to retreat to his minions, and they left Vienna without further incident.
The town was in disrepair, but not total ruin, we rejoiced that Christmas Day that we were alive, yet we were saddened by the deaths of 19 souls, we spent a quiet Christmas celebrating the birth of our Saviour, then we set to cleaning up our town and burying the dead. Through it all, Antonio was very busy conducting Christmas ceremonies and then conducting the funerals of the dead. J, Sebastian told Pach, "You are amazing. Unshakable in the face of death." "You, my dear J. Sebastian, would have been surprised at how frightened I was actually." Pach said as he eyed the Gauntlet gratefully. "You? Frightened? I find that hard to believe Pachelbel." J. Sebastian said, remember, this is before they became the close friends they would later on. We all knew, (especially Pach), we would see Oublion and his legions again.
