Who I am is irrelevant. My name will be forgotten by history as will the name of the moon whose shadow I'm using to conceal my presence. I am an observer. Perhaps what I observe will not go unnoticed in this history.
I observe a man called Erebus. He goes about his business, and his business takes him to a dark place. It is referred to as The Ruins by him, and some others. It's a dangerous place. He faces a creature, riddled with disease, once a man, but Erebus nor those accompanying him know that. I know it because Erebus and his gathering are not all I observe.
The creature is a sorcerer, it uses two crystals to guide it's techniques. In this case it has chosen to encase it's victims in ice, using a primitive Barta technique. Let us see what happens...
"Damn you Volt, I told you to keep an eye on those claws, with so many of them around I can't even swing my blade properly."
It seems Erebus isn't too pleased with the perfomance of the team he has lead here.
"Yeah well screw you, bus-man" It seems that Volt too, isn't too pleased. Marvelon and Subgirl look at each other puzzled.
"C'mon guys" Subgirl says, "we're all here for the same reason, let's get to it". They battle on and make their way into a room filled with horrors. Deformed monsters detect them and start their dance of destruction. A misshapen horse type launches deadly attacks and in the back of the room, the sorcerer prepares his trap.
Erebus streaks forward, his blade at the ready, facing the sorcerer, he is unprepared for the sudden attack. A flash of blue and white and then... nothing.
Erebus is alone, he is in a room he's not seen before.
"Hello" he says. There is no response. His weapon is gone, as is his Mag. "Hello!" He shouts, "Is there anyone here" He makes for what he think is a door, on the far side. The sorcerer appears again, Erebus flinches. Without his weapon he is powerful, but not enough, he knows. Air goes solid around and Erebus is pinned to the ground. The sorcerer speaks and it sounds like a thousand metal snakes sliding over ice echoing in Erebus's head.
"Death is upon you" it resounds in his head his ears seems like they are going to burst, the pain unbearable. Erebus screams, light fills his vision, then black blobs, they spin and grow larger. The noise is swelling, the pain increases. Erebus screams at the top of his voice and then... nothing.
The room materialises around him, his weapon back in his hand, he looks over his shoulder and in the blur sees his Mag back too. In the distance he can see Volt and Subgirl slashing into the Sorcerer, it dies and reverts to a blob on the floor.
Marvelon leans in close to Erebus
"Are you alright? You look shaken." Marvelons face looks worried.
"I'm ok Erebus says, just a little dizzy" He shrugs and they carry on.
You see dear reader, there are things I observe you would otherwise never know. Let's hope Erebus and his friends will be alright.
