Ob Nixilis, Demon Lord currently trapped on Zendikar. Once a planeswalker, he had lost his spark. He seeked to reignite the powers that would allow him to traverse the planes. Once a human in a world of eternal war, Nixilis sought out the chamber of demons. There, he begged for the demons to end the war. Instead, the demons killed every being on Ob's home plane, and Ob's spark ignited when one of the demons possessed him. Once on Zendikar, a lithomancer trapped him by taking his spark. To reignite it, Ob sought out the Khalni Heart. However, an elf stood in his way.
"Nissa, baby. How ya been?" Ob's voice was chilling, yet somehow friendly. Nissa knew this was all a setup. Ob was here to take the Heart, but the reason was unknown to the elf walker. "What are you doing here, Ob?" "Well, a certain something is gonna help me do another certain something." Ob's tone was playful, almost childlike. "This here flower, the Heart as ya call it, is gonna help me regain a part of me I lost." Nissa, dumbfounded by the demon's words, pondered. "I cannot let you take the Heart. Zendikar is in grave danger and the Heart is going to help save the plane." At this remark, Ob simply laughed. "I'm afraid not, sweetheart. The flower's mine!" He lunged. Nissa called forth her guardian, the great Ashaya. Ashaya was the embodiment of Zendikar, an awoken world as some would call it.
Ashaya wrapped her massive wooden appendages around the heart. "HOW DARE YOU TRY AND KEEP MY FROM REIGNITING MY SPARK!!!" 'So, Ob is trying to reignite his spark. When did he lose it?' Nissa's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden crack of wood. Splinters flew as the demon lord struck the Awoken World's back with immense strength. Nissa called upon the forest's beasts to defend the Heart and Ashaya. Massive beasts, hydras, basilisks, and the smaller fungi, plants, insects, and wolves surrounded the demon.
Embracing the presence of the new horde, Ob retreated to the dark, yelling out in disgust. "THE HEART WILL BE MINE!" "Thank you noble forest dwellers." Nissa retrieved the Heart from Ashaya and started heading back to the search party. Once back at camp, Nissa went to her tent and settled down for the night. "Rolen," Nissa commanded. "First thing tomorrow, we need to head out and find Jori En. I have a few friends she probably knows the whereabouts of." This message was spread throughout the party. The next morning, the party set out for Munda's current encampment. Unbeknownst to them was the devastation that would follow their small trek, for they were being followed by more than a demon's laugh.
