Through the pain I suffer… through pain I gain strength… through the pain I silently rage… and through the pain I wait… but... Through her pain I suffered the most! Through her pain…my heart for the world changed!
→→→→→→→→ Excerpt for the diary of Lanthios
As Jesthenis walked to the kids to tell them the bad news, he suddenly found himself unable to move, shocked he turned to yell at Azeal but he found himself unable to talk properly, like his tongue was under some kind of curse.
[I'm sorry, Jesthenis, it looks like I changed my mind! BLOOD KNIGHTS take him away!] said Azael with passionate eyes.
In Jesthenis' mind filled with rage, he yelled [enough], for he was done taking all these insults to his knight pride! And so, he willed the light around himself that gave him back his freedom to move.
And like a rocket he jetted himself forward with sword in hand and was about to slice Azael smuggest expression in two, when another sword got between his and Azael's face! Seeing his new opponent all Jesthenis managed to squeeze out his mouth before being knocked out was... [You... to...]
With Jesthenis out of the way the necrolord was free to approach the children and say with all smiles and slanted eyes [Hello kids! I will be your new caretaker and tutor for the both of you!]
Layla being suspicious asked {where did Jesthenis and miss Alanus go?}
[OH, well they have both been reassigned elsewhere so… you both only have me! Now let me introduce myself. My name is Azael, the necrolord! Now little Ms. Sunstriker. Do you perhaps know what a necrolord is or does?] said Azael with a cunning smile
[ Yes!] said Layla proudly while puffing her chest out before continuing, [necrolords are a sub study of magic that is similar to that of a warlock, or more like they are almost one in the same, but one leans more towards the study of undead then demons] replied Layla with cute haughtiness
[Clap, Good you know what they are, you've seemed to have kept up with your studies that good, so have you ever thought about changing to learn either school of magic? I can tell you learning magic under the mages is great for starters but if you want to grasp real power you need to venture out more! Otherwise, you will always be limited to that of a two-bit spell caster.
Who only knows how to hide and run away hoping a warrior will come and save them! I can see you also have a real knack for fire magic so I implore you to learn the ways of destruction magic for it will surely benefit you more!] said Azael like he was pitching a sale.
[I... Don't know... I always wanted to be a great fire mage like my mother...] replied Layla softly
Azael, now physically annoyed that he didn't get the answer he wanted, was about to say something when he noticed Lanthios staring dead eyes at him!
[what you are looking at inbred!] yelled Azael as he let loose a few pouches into Lanthios' gut that were too fast for him to react to! hitting the floor Lanthios coughs out bloody vomit while on his knees!
[That's better! That's where an inbred like you belong! On the floor! Groveling at my feet!] said Azael with much cruelty
But even on his knees Lanthios eyes shone in unwillness!
[So that wasn't enough for you! Ugh... inbred!] yelled Azael in much hate
[Stop! Stop it! Don't hurt him anymore! He is my servant to berate, not yours!] yelled Layla with much sorrow.
[umm... Brat get this through your tiny skull, one I do what I want and berate who I want, two as your new caretaker it is my job to teach! And it looks like your "pet" needs to learn some lessons!] said Azael as he smacked Layla causing her to fall backwards with a yelp! However, Lanthios now with a visual handprint on his face, tries to claw at Azael!
To which Azael simply scuffs and puts multi curses on Lanthios in an instant, causing him to stop mid-way! With coughing blood, he spilled, with bleeding eyes they yelled, with clawing chest he screamed in agony!
{So, this is what a warlock curse feels like in real life…. Fuck me! It hurts everywhere. It's like every organ is crawling with ants, that my blood is flowing backwards, with every nerve on fire all at the same time! And what's worse, I can feel my mana sleeping away! Like it's being drawn somewhere!
No wonder affliction warlock was such a pain in pvp! I feel so sorry for all those toons I made feel this way! If only I mastered that damn paladin bobble, I wouldn't be in this mess now!} thought Lanthios as he laid squirming there on the floor
[Tsk... Tsk... some blood knight you turned out to be! And here I thought the Sunsrikers were better at teaching... HA! What fools! Look little pup I won't be teaching you the way of the blood knight for that is not something a dog like you should learn!
Umm If I recall correctly your mother was a shaman… that magic is perfect for a mutt such as yourself! Oh, how I like the irony in that!
For shamans are at the mercy of the elements to be of any use! They are like a slave to them, where you mutt are at the mercy of us blood Elves and a slave as well! HA! How hilarious!] After laughing at Lanthios expenses for a few Azael then says
{well, at least I can use you as a test subject for my plan to see if I can twist the elements in a way that won't be too torturous. After all I have met some dark shamans before
however they all result in failures for, they torture the elements to much! Sure, they gain great power but it's a dead end in the long run for they can only use the surrounding elements in their area…
so once they venture outside their area of influence not only will the element outside refuse to heed their call, hell, they will even attack them if given the chance...] said Azael with great pondering
But while he was pondering Layla was pissed and shot the biggest fire butterfly she could make! Directly at Azael back! However just as the roaring flames of a beautiful butterfly so much as touch the fringes of Azael garments the fire poof out of existence like it was never there.
[Sigh... little lady didn't your previous instruction tell you that when you're using magic… you should never use it on people who are more atone to the arcane arts than you? Here is lesson number one, why don't you focus your mana to your little, tiny eyes and look at me, that should let you know the difference in magic skill.] said Azael in a suggest matter
Following what he said Layla focused her mana into her eyes but when she did, she instantly regretted it because her child-like mind couldn't comprehend what she was seeing!
For as her eyes looked upon the ghost of hollow souls, the broken form of demonic souls, with torturous scream they called for mercy! With tortured screams they tore away at her blazing heart, but though painful heart, she turned cold, for as she looked deeper…
She was rot with fear, for purple black flames protruded out of Azrael like a starving whale looking for food! With fearful eyes she closed shut, for deeper in her mind she could have sworn she saw Alanus among the hollowed souls!
[Oh dear... Did you see something you shouldn't have… Mahaha!] laugh Azrael much evilly
{growl} said Lanthios
[Oh! I almost forgot about you, please forgive my rudeness, but now that we are on the topic of forgetfulness. I do need to punish Layla for attacking her senior! After all, we can't have that!
O and before you say what she saw was punishment enough… that doesn't count for I was teaching a lesson! And teaching does not count as punishment!
But now that I think about it, that annoying contract you two have going on seems to transfer whatever damage she gets to you… umm… you poor thing… I Know let's test its limits. I just have to know how much that contract can transfer for future punishments!
Ha, I'm such a genius! OH! But don't worry I will control my spells just the right amount you can trust me!] said Azael as he started placing curses on Layla
