"Baro'seth! Baro'seth! Where the hell are you stupid wizard?" A voice of angry orc echoes in the halls of the Black Citadel
"Yes." Baro'seth stays calm with a poker face
"Hah, why are you always late, little elf? You know how I demand perfection." Han'dul the Demonlord angers
"You said that the meeting will begin in 10 o'clock. This is still 9." Baro'seth still calm
"Watch you clever tounge, mongrel. Remember that I was the one who saved your live that time." Han'dul getting angrier
"Save me? The gods are the one who saved me. You did nothing old fool. If not because of them I will not be here, helping you with all of your stupid plans." Baro'seth spits
"Aaaarrrgghhh" Han'dul roars "Enough. Now listen to my orders, there is a demon hunter stalking around our world, killing our soldiers. I want him die."
"And you ask me to do that?" Baro'seth asks
"You still ask about that!! Go now!" Han'dul yells
"Okay." Baro'seth turns his back
Sneaking around the forests, Baro'seth keeps watching Falladion and Tinarcison silently. Then Baro'seth gets his knife out of his pocket. He was about to throw it, but then.
"Wait, I could sense something." Falladion feels something is wrong
"What are you talking about Falladion?" Tinarcison didn't feel anything
Baro'seth keeps his knife in his pocket.
"Never mind." Falladion declined
Baro'seth thinks again, he knew that he won't be able to defeat them just by one knife. His magic skills are well known already, he is going to prepare for some kind of trap. He went to a place, where Falladion and Tinarcison would've gone. There he created a circle of power that caused an arcane storm, a one that could be only stopped by sacrifices. And the next day, Falladion and Tinarcison did walk on that way. When they arrived, an arcane explosion greets them rudely, knocking them back, causing the arcane storm burst out.
"What is it?" Tinarcison asks
"An arcane storm" Archmage Fadol said "Very dangerous one. It could kill us all in few minutes."
"Then how could we stop it." Tinarcison asks while some demons patrol in that place
"I'll handle the demons first." Falladion said
"An arcane storm is thirst for victims, more died because of it, the more it will vanish slowly." Fadol answers
"Then let's lure those demons to this storm." Tinarcison relaxed
"Falladion, don't kill them yet. Bring them here." Tinarcison commands
"Piece a cake." Falladion smiles
Falladion kicks the demons one by one into the arcane storm. And slowly the arcane storm starting to vanish, but before it could completely vanish, no more demons to be sacrificed.
"No more demons!" Falladion reports
"Now what are we going to do?" Archmage Fadol confused
"I will sacrifice myself." From far a voice said. It was Marwynn. "I cannot adapt to work in team, I shall sacrifice myself rather become a burden to this team."
"Marwynn?" Tinarcison surprised
"Don't try to stop me." Marwynn said. He entered the arcane storm and it vanished.
"Is it done?" Tinarcison asks
"Yes. It has been a very heroic sacrifice, from our dear friend." Archmage Fadol mourns
"Yes, I never thought he could do that." Falladion mourns as well
"Well I had to say that was pretty hardcore, even for an idiot." A voice heard from behind a rock. There Baro'seth shows himself. "I am Baro'seth, servant of Han'dul the Master Warlock. I saw great things from all of you. I think it will be enough to defeat the Pitlord Commander."
"Pitlord Commander?" Trisnanta look like very scarred. "What is a Pitlord Commander actually?" her face turns into confused
"You shall see it yourself later, when you reach the Black Citadel." Baro'seth turns into dusts and flew away with the winds
"Han'dul? I've heard about this guy somewhere. Yeah, he is the leader of the Shadow Summoners, they worshiped the dark titan, which the name I forget." Falladion tells
"And that elf is his servant. He seems to be a good guy." Tinarcison said
"Yes, I agree with you. I think he needs us to free him from being a servant of Han'dul." Vaurok agrees
"Then we should be hurry." Tinarcison walks
"Wait, with Marwynn dead. Shouldn't we find a substitution for him?" Rugat Deadeye asks
"Perhaps you are right. I'll ask Zöltar to join us." Tinarcison agrees
And they all moves deeper into the unknown world to find this Black Citadel and put an end to all of these violence. []
