Adamante
By Adam Madigan

     Leshrac slams the sword into the earth and yells, "I will destroy you Mordifin on this sword I swear!" The sword burns black and its runes glow. Comprehension dawns on Leshrac. The runes read, "to summon one of death simply give up part of your humanity." There are still runes on the blade that he cannot read. The sword fades and the sky darkens.
     Leshrac glances up and there is a person standing before him, "who are you?" he asks the red eyed person."You may call me Xain. By summoning me you condemn yourself to death, mortal." Xain begins to laugh. Leshrac feels pain burning his stomach and is stunned. Xain taunts him, "Why did you summon me? Answer now and I may let you live." Leshrac starts to answer but grabs the sword instead. "If I summoned you then I control you. You have no hold on my unless I part with my soul," he yells at the demon. "True. Just once I wish I would encounter a stupid human."says Xain, "What do you wish to know?" "I wish I could control the powers of the sword. Can you tell me how to do that?" asks Leshrac.
     "I will give these instructions to you. To use the sword it is necessary to go into the Tiran Woods." answers Xain. "The Tiran Woods ehe. You only with to lure me there for my death." Leshrac has known of the woods his entire life but has never ventured there. It is overrun with orcs. Xain is walking towards the woods; "If I wanted to kill you I would not tell you about the rest of the guards coming to eliminate you. Farewell."
     Leshrac turns around and is shot in the left shoulder by and arrow. His vision is blurred but he sees only one enemy. Leshrac lifts his sword with his right hand and rushes the guard. He loses control over himself. He watches as two guards flank him on each side. He is still watching as he is bound with ropes and captured.
