The night was one of beauty with the stars looking over the Earth. A calm breeze took the Shaman's hair, making it dance. She was sitting on a ledge looking at the distance. Being alone made her feel free from the world. It also made her remember the times before she was a shaman. Twiddling her necklace to reminisce. Before her calling, adventure was the thrill that she longed for. With six other cohorts she traveled across the land destroying and raiding anyone who dared oppose them. She had missed the companionship, but the killing was hard to forget, even if it was for the greater good. Those days, she silently thanked, were behind her.
Sipping on the wine that was a present from the late visionary, she began to thinking about The Necromancer. Her spirit was seemed to hide something for a long time. It made her uneasy. This unsettled her as she thought about Nebra. Moria thought her power would surpass her own, but they were equal in skill and potential in hand to hand combat.
The wind started to pick up around her,
knocking the jar of wine over. Moria slowly rose.
"GRRRRRRROOOOOOUUU!!" Echoed from the temple.
"Ami...." Moria whispered.
"GRRRRRRRRRROUUUUU!!" The cry was louder. She glanced at her right arm and saw it was transformed into one of a monster or demon. Moira chuckled.
"I must admit Nebra you had me fooled. Thinking that you were actually a necromancer....... we could have been friends."
From the shadows, a Dark dragon as tall as the ceiling slowly appeared. The demonic scent was pugnacious. Facing off each other, the shaman stood against the dragon in silence. Only the wind blew, carrying Moira's silver hair. They waited for the the first sign of an opening attack.
"If you truly were powerful before, you would leave my appentice alone!!" Moria yelled in anger. Nessai, in her dragon form, was shocked that this mere shaman, from what she could tell, could sense the presence of Ami.
"Shocked?," Moria smiled revealing a row of fangs. She pointed her right arm towards Nessai. In rage, Nessai launched a strike with speed and ferocity. Coming down on her was the jaws of death.
"Too late," The shaman whispered. Nessai stopped in her tracks. The wailed nashed her teeth but couldn't move a inch. "It's nothing personal but it's better fight in your natural form," The shaman said. Grasping her claw the dragon shrunk down and changed from.
Now Nessai shrank and shifted until she was in her first form and resembled Ami. Still in Moira's grasp of power, she grew more irritated. "You have no idea who you are messing with!!" Nessai yelled. Moria held Nessai where she had stopped her. Walking slowly towards her, Nessai was lowered until she was only inches from the ground. Moira walked closer and closer until they stood face to face. Moira searched until she found Ami, trapped under the Nebra's influence. The necromancer knew what she was doing and began fearing the inevitable.
The Necromancer spat at Moira, "Your tricks will never truly get rid of me. I will return even if you try and banish me to Dark Realm." Wiping the spit, in retaliation, threw her in the temple. All she did know was wait for her. The temple was pitch black, but Moira's eye sight was keen in the dark. Listening and sensing every movement around her she waited. For a period of time she stood her ground. Then she felt a pebble touch her foot. and in blink of an eye, she blocked a melee attack from behind where Nessai was in mid air. ZSHH. And like that she vanished.
"I've already won!" Moria proclaimed, "Even if you have my apprentice's power you cannot wield it any better than he could!"
"Lies!" Nessai shrieked as she tried to claw out Moira's side as her hand transformed into a claw of a Grizzly bear.
"You are weak and short-sighted Nessai," Moira explained calmly, blocking all of Nessai's attacks, " and as far as I can tell, you are no where near as strong as you used to be."
"YOU KNOW NOTHING, MOIRA!!!"
"Then show me. All you have been is nothing but a pest. Please, don't waste my time," Moira grinned with this statement and continued to block Nessai's attempts to strike her. Nessai, in a rage, continued to attack. Becoming faster and and faster as she became more enraged.
"ENOUGH!!" Nessai screamed, " I SHALL CONSUME YOUR PRECIOUS APPRENTICE!! Let's see just how well you will last when I have his power!" Moira hesitated and was swatted off to the side by Nessai's claw. Moira knew she had precious seconds before Ami was gone forever. 'You must do what must be done,' she said to her self. Closing her eyes, a veil darkness began surrounded her.
