<center>The Shadows of Yserbius II</center><center>The Return</center>
<center>Chapter 1.</center>
The loud clanging of Sword and Shield echo through the cool night air. Man against beast. The last Knight battles a creature some call En-li-kil. Blood leaking from the seams of his armor, this valiant Warrior sworn to an oath to rid this land of this menace, fights to keep air in his lungs and life in his body as he circles this beast sword raised at the ready. He knows he is perhaps the last to battle this beast, if there will be more he is not sure. He only knows in his heart that this is where his whole life has been going.
Slime like substance oozing from gaping sword wounds, En-Li-Kil circles this Cold warrior. Unlike times before when he was able to convince other warriors they had triumphed with the illusion of Death, this warrior was not falling prey to such trickery. Lunging hard at an apparent opening in the knights defenses En-li-kil lashes out hard with several long Steel talons. Sparks in the dimly lit room as his claws rake deep scars into the Breastplate of this Knight. There is something different about this night, this battle.
The glint of torchlight on a steel blade gives little more than a quick warning En-li-kill lowers himself quickly only to hear a sharp blade whistle through the air where his neck was.
There was no one to witness what happened next. Weakened by the loss of Blood the Knight swung a death blow to the head of this beast only to find the beast still with speed enough to duck. The momentum of the Great Blade and perhaps the weakened state of the man causes the sword to spin the warrior around entangling his legs and causing him to fall to the floor. The Beast sensing this was his last chance to rid himself of this warrior leapt into the air his claws out stretched ready to rip human flesh to shreds.
Had one been there that night deep in the Heart of the Yserbius Volcano. They would have heard a terrible cry and seen how the Fallen Knight his sword still raises and at the ready laughed through dying breaths when En-Li-Kil Impaled himself on the sword in a last attempt to achieve victory. Those who would have been there would have seen the weary knight roll the lifeless body of En-Li-Kil off of himself. As the last bits of his own life seep out of his body and across the floor.
That last night rolls into another night, the torches go dim eventually, and then go out as they are not replaced. Time goes on and where once Man battled Beast one sees blood stains and a few pieces of rusty armor The Doorways now sealed and the Taverns down the hill closed from lack of patrons stand boarded up.
………………………………
“I tell you it was an accident!” says a lower demi-god, “No mortal Knight should have ever been able to kill En-Li-Kil”
“It was the Sword of Truth I tell you” says the other, “That sword removed the Illusion En-Li-Kil was able to weave for so many years”
“Who has played this trick on destiny Lord?” as both creatures look to the head of table somewhere in a distant realm.
“I am not sure my sons” A Great Horned beast roars as he turns the events over in his mind.
“We have no more amusement Father” ask the younger Damon “there are no more great battles to watch.”
“Where have all the great warriors gone father?” ask the other.
“There are no more great warriors because there are no more great battles my sons” Says as a plan begins to formulate.
“Stand Back Children and watch the Master at work” The giant Damon rises Looks across time and simply thinks his plan into existence. The Child like Damons watch across time and smile as they witness their fathers mastery of the Universe.
“FOOLS!!” Erupts from thin air followed by a Brilliant display of light. “Do you think to upset the balance of the Universe? You cannot Resurrect En-Li-Kil so easily.”
“Do you think Evil can exist without Good?” The Light says as it hovers in the same room as the Damons. “For if you Resurrect En-Li-Kil, I shall Resurrect the Last Great Knight”
“Surely you will not” the Damon roars across the room. “We cannot have the Knight and En-Li-Kil locked in combat throughout the ages.”
Good listens to the ranting of Evil for moment before adding,” There are warriors who once wandered the realm of Yserbius seeking to remove your En-Li-Kil now that he has returned I assure you so shall they. You have tampered with Natural Order of things for it is so well known that no mortal man can fight save win against that which is not living. Thus I have granted the same existence to the Last Knight. Some will come one day to rid Yserbius of En-Li-Kil once more. We will set pitfalls and such in their path to prevent them from easily finding En-Li-Kil. Should there ever be a warrior or warriors with the fortitude and skill to pass a series of test. The Last Knight will come to them and they will be carried to the Battle Ground where once Good met evil. And there they shall play out this battle over again The Last Great Knight will assist brave warriors in the defeat of En-Li-Kil. And because you have given life to that which should not be alive this scene will play out for so long as there are those who will come. Your En-Li-Kil will die a thousand deaths and The Last Great Knight will be resurrected a thousand times. As long as evil walks the Realm so shall good.”
“And that is not all I have done” adds Good
“What have you done now?” Roars Evil as fiery lights shoot out of his eyes
“I have given life to the Sword of Truth again” Says Good, “It is with this Warriors will call the Last Knight to them for the final battle once they have complete the Quest for the Sword.. Only the Bravest of warriors will be able to complete the many quest required to obtain the Sword”
Evil seeing all his plans falling to pieces throws a giant fireball from fingertips across the room to GOOD. In less than a blink Good vanished as the Fireball passes through harmlessly and vanishes. A distant Laughter rings for sometime in the room.
<center>Chapter II</center>
TThe Sounds of a Pry bar squeak as old dried boards are removed from the door of a tavern. Hung on old Leather straps the great Oak Door makes an eerie sound as it swings open. Greylok and Madigan ease into the dark interior sword in one hand torch in the other.
A couple old battle scarred Warriors ease into the old Tavern and look around at the old place.Memories filling their minds and tears their eyes almost.
“Well here she be again brother” Says GreyLok. “Just like I remember her last”
“Little rough round the edges but she will clean up nicely” adds Madigan
“Tell me again what possesses you to come back here again” Ask Madigan
“To many folks passin through here have told me of strange things yonder in the Cano and been having these dreams” Says Greylok, “I know in my heart of hearts brother that foul beast has returned.”
“We are too old now to fight like we once did, you know that” says Madigan with a smirk on his face.
His eyes twinkle as he stares out the doorway to the distant Volcano Greylok adds,” Aye perhaps we are my brother. We will make ready this tavern and the Rooms upstairs and then we shall dispatch messengers to the furtherest lands and call forth great warriors of every sort. Both Warrior and Magician will we send for. Where ever there be those who will stand against Evil we shall have them go.”
“Brother many will come far too many for this Tavern” says Madigan.
“There are other taverns and Inns in the nearby towns, we and others will make those ready as well. There will be room enough for all. Greylok Speaks as he walks to the door.
In the distance the evil sound of vile beast echo’s through the evening night in the volcano. “Let us make fast” says Greylok “Lest the evil forces overwhelm all that is good”
