The Marakese

The Dark Army

Seronn looked at the skies and the dark forests around him. Time for vengeance nears, he understands. Arakanese still practices his sword skills under the darkness, his shining blade illuminating where he stood. Mordin rested, well sure that he was ready for any kind of battle. Zoreus and the wolves went in deep into the forests and searched for their prey. They climbed trees and looked everywhere to quench their thirst for blood. The eveil army stood there motionless. Some of them stood there sleeping , some of them just stood there thirsting for the battle that was to come. Hurin and Derinn were inside the house as they were in deep discussion about something. Adriella stood next to the basement where Wily was housed. Have you eaten anything? she asked Wily. There was no answer at first, so she decided to ask again. Have you eaten anything? she asked this time in a louder tone. These things cannot be eaten by me, nor any other Marakese, she replied. You eat what is given or you die here! said Adriella and walked atop to the living room, where she joined her brother. 

"The news of their betrayal has reached the ears of the Marakese" said Adriella. They must be trembling already! said Derinn. Must be a easy fight for us, said Hurin. My brother! do not underestimate the fight in a Marakese. You should no that. They are capable of great things when the time arises, she warned them. I know sister, but this time the fight would be too mich for them I reckon, replied Hurin. Let us prepare for the worst anyway, she said to them. How are your eyes, asked Hurin to his sister. They are fine. They should be able to do the job, she replied. We need your eyes sister, said Hurin. Adriella did not speak further. She got up and left. 

"Arakanese came over and approached Seronn". What do you really want Seronn? he asked him. I want what the evil lord wants, replied Seronn as he normally does. Arakanese was not impressed with the answer. What do you want? he emphasized. Revenge! replied Seronn. I knew it, he said. Even me , replied Arakanese. I seek revenge, that is what makes me train and fight this hard, he said. Seronn looked around  " Everything here wants revenge" he said to Arakanese. Arakanese was confused and he asked him to repeat what he had just said. Don't you see , everyone here wants revenge. The whole forest, the people , the dead, the undead. Everything here wants revenge, replied Seronn. Arakanese looked back at the the evil army. Even them? he asked Seronn. Yes, especially them, said Seronn. Whose head do they seek? he asked Seronn. That is something that you have to ask them, replied Seronn. Arakanese looked around and he saw Mordin, and he knew that all he ever seeked was revenge. Adriella and the others too seek revenge, he knew that. He looked at Seronn and realised what he said was true. This side of the army, Arakanese found himself wanted revenge. Seronn looked at Arakanese and Arakanese felt a shiver in his spine. He knew that the man in front of him looked deep into his soul. Seronn nodded as he was dismayed by what he saw! What is wrong? asked Arakanese. You still have a soul, he said to him. Do you have one? he asked back. No, I lost mine a long time ago, replied Seronn. Does everyone here not have a soul too, asked Arakanese. I do not know about that, said Seronn. But I know one thing, he said. What is that? asked Arakanese. I know that they are not the kind of people to betray one another. And I Know about you Arakanese! you are a reptile that shifts sides without blinking an eye. You would not think for a second to wven murder your family if it helped you in your endeavors! said Seronn. 

Arakanese was scared to his wits as he saw the true nature of Seronn, unfold before him. Not many have seen it and lived on to talk about it. Arakanese knew that it was time for him to leave the presence of this evil entity. He slowly turned back, and as he did! Seronn held him by his neck and crushed it. Arakanese called out for help and there came Mordin. Arakanese was relieved to see Mordin there and thought that he was going to save him! Mordin punched his chest so hard that into broke into two pieces. The punch was so strong he flew away from the tight grasp of Seronn and fell a few meters away! Arakanese was dead! I hope you know whose side you are on? asked Seronn to Mordin. Yes sire, replied Mordin without a seconds hesitation. I serve you, he said and knelt down on knee, pledging his allegiance. Now bury him! said Seronn. Adriella and Hurin came out to see what the noise was about. " Arakanese said he saw something and he ran towards the forest" replied Seronn. And Mrodin too , there he runs after something , said Seronn pointing at Mordin. What was that? asked Adriella. Nothing significant! said Seronn. I can handle it, he said and walked in the same direction. " Let me have a look at that too" he said to them. Mordin held the broken body of Arakanese in his arms and went deep into the forest to bury him. Seronn closely followed him. They finally came to a place that looked like the perfect spot to bury someone. " Bury him deep" he ordered Mordin." Bury him like I was buried" he uttered.
