Agran stood watching over his Castle yard from the bridge connecting his two dark castle towers down below his the Dorgzon worked training both on ground combat using either their retractable claws, duel wielding short swords with a wave pattern in the blade which was made up of cursed black steel, or a long sword of the same make and material they also practiced flying in the air using their wings and a two shot crossbow. Agran known better as the Shadow knight smiled under the dark mask of his helmet as a raven caw broke his thoughts and a raven with a message for him landed on his shoulder he took the message it was from one of his new Dorgzon scouts it he had found the group of survivors from Aiglasas the boy William who now wielded his fathers sword was with them the message read as the following
  "The boy and his friends have reached the Vanguards Shield and managed to defeat the Crimson Warrior and his two battalions with the aid of the mages from DragonsHold, the boy still does not know what power his sword which he now calls Oathkeeper holds within but the poison worked and he lashed out severely wounding his Dwarf friend Erick, but then he was able to fight the demon planted by the poison and broke free of the enchantment he has a strong mind they found a map they're heading back to DragonsHold as I write this message."

    "It's sad the boy survived the poison and the demon but at least we might've gotten the dwarf." Agran said to himself as he looked over his new army below him. The Dorgzon are massive Lizard men, on average they were 6.5 feet tall, with large black bat like wings, black scales, along with a snout filled with hundreds of needle like teeth, and blood red eyes that shone in the dark to top them off. No one even  knows they exist yet those who see them dismiss them as demons they are a truly frightening enemy, they're as quiet as the night they can fly to scale walls, and stronger then an Orc able to move their swords almost as extensions of their arms they were masters with swords or a crossbow.
     The Black knight cleared his throat as he announced to his men below, "THE TIME HAS COME YOU HAVE ALL TRAINED WELL IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS WE WILL TRAVEL TO DRAGONSHOLD AND KILL THOSE PESKY MAGES ALONG WITH THE BOY AND HIS FRIENDS THEY WILL DIE AND YOU WILL FEAST ON THEIR CORPSES!!" Agran yelled this to his army and they responded with roars and howls as they lusted over the thought of battle.
   "FOR TONIGHT WE WILL EAT AND PREPARE AND TOMORROW AT DUSK WE WILL TRAVEL TO THEIR FORTRESS AND SLAUGHTER THEM ALL!" Agran started again the roaring rose through their ranks as they headed inside to eat. "They'll all die and we will win this war without the Hallowed Vanguard nobody can stand against the Dorgzon and live." Agran stated to himself with a laugh as he walked into his chamber to catch up on his sleep.
   Agran took off all of his armor instead putting on a dark colored tunic and trousers he looked at his face in the mirror as he used the washbasin to clean the sweat and grime from his face he had short steel grey hair with violet eyes a pale well built face a muscular pale body and a long scar running down his right cheek  from the last battle where he engaged in combat with the general of the Hallowed Vanguard and instead of killing Agran he embarrassed him giving him this scar centuries ago but Agran thanks to his Vampiric immortality survives all these years now ready to finish what he started so long ago.
   "The boy William doesn't even realize that his sword is the same one used by the general to give him this scar it was a shard of the guardians spear which broke and was reforged into several artifacts, The Sword, the shield, and the armor set, all belonging to the first general of the Hallowed Vanguard the Sword being passed down from father to son now lying in the hold of William. The other artifacts were no where to be found probably kept by the Hallowed Vanguard now hiding in their fortresses set out along the great mountain range oblivious to the outside world  and what is currently happening.
     Agran smiles and chuckles as he lays down not in a coffin but a king sized bed with curtains along the edges to shade him from the light. He falls asleep anxiously awaiting his battle to come for he would be joining this battle to kill William himself.
