I wiped the blood of my hands and jumped out the pit. I had an idea and needed to clear this mess up, I looked towards the village and decided maybe I need to see the extent of my powers. Runes glowed under my feet and I shot in the air. I was at the village walls in minutes, the people where frantically running to the posts. I could see the village elder beside that man again. I think I’m going to call that man beardy; also that girl who mocked me was with them too.

“Hey can everyone hear me ok?”

Lots of people looked up at me. I guess my voice was loud enough.

“Good, so I’m going to destroy your whole village now. I decided I don’t need you dwarves right at this moment, but don’t worry you brought me some amusement.”

As I was talking a giant rune appeared above the village, the elder and his companions looked up in horror with their faces gone pale.

“Oh don’t worry about if this is going to be painful or not, because it is going to be very painful. Sounds fun right.”

Power gathers in the air around the village, black lightning shoot from the giant rune above the village. Everything it touches just disappears. Buildings evaporate into nothing, just leaving an imprint that it was there at one time. People ran and screamed put couldn’t hide no matter where they were. Beard guy was running towards a house before my lightning struck it, he fell to his knees screaming to the heavens before he turned to nothing. The elder died trying to protect the rest of his people, but they all died in the end. All that remained is a clear field with square dirt patches in it.

“I should hurry back while I can” I said flying to my lair.

I told everyone to head back there and wait for me in the throne room. I walked inside and sat down in my stone chair, everyone was present.

“Follow me until death” I boomed

“Yes!” they responded

An orange and white rune shown under everyone, cover half of the chambers floor. I saw all their souls in their bodies; I engraved runes in all the creatures’ souls. Then I connected the rune with a rune I put on my soul, the creatures disappeared from the throne room. I knew that they were transported to another plain of existence where I could summon them at any time.

“Now that I got that out the way I should do something about security while I got some time left”

Using my power I created golems made of stone, I made three different types of golems. A skinny smooth golem whose arms and legs where blades. They were very nimble and did flips and jumps all over the place. I liked them a lot. Next where golem that was about the same build as the other golems but did have blades for arms and legs, they had four legs and four arms with a hole in each hand. From the hole the shoot out an arrow made of wind. They are going to travel with a few blade golems when they do patrols around the lair. Lastly is the golem for my throne room. It was also build like the rest but had both of their equities, it had four legs and four arm all bladed shape. When the golem uses its magical power when it slashes it could produce cuts of wind that travel through the air. I call them the elites. I keep them in the throne room and let the others patrol the lair in groups. I summon a coffin and place runes of protection on it and get inside. One of the golems seals it.

“Using all that power has really tired me out. I knew doing this was the only way I can be safe as I sleep to recover. I might do a little adventuring when I wake up, go visit a big town and see what humans are like”

Darkness drifted in.
