Lekinsar Deballak paced the cold marble floor of The War
Room, waiting for the dismal report. His cruel eyes scoured the
distant northern horizon. Through the Ensorcelled windows he
gazed, looking for some sign of what he knew was to come....
Then the Apprentice burst in.
Lekinsar spun to face him, ready to kill the messenger.
"What is the news?" he demanded hotly. The lad cowered in fear,
ready to sprint for the door; Lekinsar's response would be fast
and furious.
"It is as we feared. The Fellowship of Steel marches upon us.
They have unearthed the Orb of True Sight. Our Talisman of
Vanishing is useless. They can penetrate our cloak of
Invisibility," he stammered.
Lekinsar's face exploded in contorted fury. "How many!"
"Scrying reports," but the boy could not finish. Fear held
his tongue in an iron grip.
"HOW MANY!"
With a simple thought, Lekinsar wrenched control of the
boy's vocal cords and forced the words from his mouth. "Three
hundred warriors, a thousand Golems, five thousand Imps,
Elementals.... They come now and will be upon us by morning!"
The apprentice never had a chance to escape. There was no
lightning bolt to dodge, no fireball to flee from. In the blink
of an eye Lekinsar's rage was unleashed. The lad exploded into
a cloud of red mist. A moment later, his blood soaked robe
splattered to the floor.
Lekinsar gestured and was gone.
He reappeared deep beneath the Hosttower in The Scrying
Chamber. Wizards monitoring crystal balls everywhere looked up
from their futile work at their High Wizard.
Lekinsar made his announcement. "All is not lost brothers.
Our Cryptic Alliance shall be remembered for all eternity! Release
the Demons and Hell Hounds! Bring in the Skeletons! Slow them
down! The Fellowship of Steel will never have Tarmara. The
Gathering of Chaos will show the world what Power is! Prepare
for the Apocalypse! Brothers! We have the Mana and the temples
to annihilate Tarmara, and we shall do it!"
Thus was the fate of Tarmara. The Gathering of Chaos,
preferring Death to defeat, laid waste to the world, stalemating
The Great War. Now the WIZARD WARS continue....
