Ex 02: Abyss II

[cole]: Big brother, how long before we reached "Edea" we been traveling non stop for over three weeks! But i haven't even manage to get a glimpse of "Oracle mountain" where "Edea" supposed to be, were not lost are we?

[nasshir]: of course not! Were just taking a detour, i've been trying to avoid places where there a lot of monsters gathering, that's why we were greatly delayed, and besides i'm a holder of "Seeker" job, i'll be an insult if a seeker is lost during his travels...

[cole]: yeah i know... Sigh! But i also know that being a seeker doesn't guarantee you'll never get lost, but still, i wish i got the seeker job too, it's quite a convenient job to have, to be able to see great distance and able to detect energy signatures, for a keeper it'll be a great help, when seeking valuable and new information... Sigh...

[nasshir]: don't be depressed look!

[cole]: whoa! Its bigger that i thought.

[nasshir]: what do you expect? Oracle mountain is fifth biggest and tallest mountain in Grandule, look over there just below the mountain, that's the town of "vision" under control of "Edea's Oracle conclave" it was established to give refuge to the pilgrims who travels the endless stairs for their pilgrimage to reach "EDEA" and seek to know their fortune!

[cole]: "Vision" huh, so that's our end destination for today, i wish...

[Nasshir]: i know, you don't have to say it, let's go we still have a long way to go before we reach "vision"...

......................................................................................................

A man as big as a bear, with a height of more than three meters, with bulging muscle, that put any body builder to shame, as he remove his gigantic axe embedded in the head of the huge dragon like monster, blood spurts like fountain, yeaaaah! "He shouted", then all the mercenary shout! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

[mercenary]: commander Glen! Are we really going?

[Glen]: hahaha! What do you think? You're our strategist [jonah] you tell me?

[Jonah]: i don't know commander, there's not much information about this "Abyss", and all records says it's dangerous, it's been rank as calamity rank danger zone by the guild! We don't have enough information about it for me to give a proper assessment.

[Glen]: that's why we're heading to [Edea] to get more information! Any word on locating a keeper? [Edea] can give us information where the abyss gate will appear, but only a keeper give us an accurate information about abyss! I have a feeling something great is waiting for us there...

[Jonah]: i have sent several of our tracker to locate a keeper but i haven't got no news of them yet.

[Glen]: hmmm i see... Make preparation [Jonah] we move in first light tomorrow our destination...[Edea]

............................................................................................

Somewhere in [wailing death] forest, in a certain cave, a sound of agonizing cries and deathly screams can be heard non stop, sounds of tortured souls can be heard deep within it, the cave is a natural labyrinth, and death awaits those who enters it uninvited, deep within it in a certain chamber, a man can be seen sitting in a stone chair reading some book, except the chamber is pitch black, and yet it does not seems to bother the man as he continues to read the old black book, "massssster! a hiss like voice can be heard outside the pitch black chamber,

hmmmm... "What do you want?" Said the man reading the black book.

Masssssterrr our "visionary" has been successful, we now know where the gates to the abyss will emerge!

Good! A thousand years i have waited, "said the man reading the black book" he wave his hand and the black book he's holding disappear into thin air, standing up and walking outside the chamber, only now his appearance can be seen clearly, dark long hair, has a fierce angelic face that make any girl's heart skip a beat upon seeing his face, wearing a dark red robe with glowing golden symbols, the symbols are moving around like a fish swimming in waters, the robe is covered by some kind of aura. he has golden eyes radiating with power, and on his forehead two majestic horn can be seen although one of the horns is broken, his name is [Beherit] prince of the fallen ancient demonic race, [Beherit] continue to walk passed the creature who give him the news, the creature bowed as [Beherit] walked passed it, he continue to walk down the corridor into the big black metallic door, the creature walk behind him, as he neared the door the door opens up revealing a huge chamber, the chamber is gigantic about a size of football field, and in the center a huge golden crystal can be seen floating, the golden crystal is surrounded with glowing mystical symbols...

As [Beherit] walked to the huge golden crystal, he put his hand on in, and the golden crystal started to glows brighter, revealing a female figure inside it the female is beautiful a beauty that can ruin a city, she has golden long hair, she's wearing a black gothic gown with golden inlaid design, its sleeveless design shows her thin pearl white arm, the gown sticks close to her body showing her ample breast and slender curve of her body, she wears no jewelry except a simple black string necklace with small red pearl a size of a marble, her eyes is close but there's a hint of smile in her beautiful face, shes inside the golden crystal frozen in time...

[Beherit]: my love soon, very soon i'll be able to revive you... And those responsible for your death...

"A glint of smile appear on his face, a sinister smile that will make one tremble with fear"

He stand there for a long time not moving, not saying anything just looking at the woman inside the golden crystal, then....

[Beherit]: Brego! Where will the gates to the abyss appear?

"Brego a 4 meter tall draconic creature with with four dragon like wings on his back, it has four arms, it's similar to a gargoyle in appearance, with two great sword strap on its sides"

[Brego]: there are several gates that will appear, 30 days from now, the closest to us is somewhere on "blood swamp" west of us according to our visionaries...

[Beherit] "blood swamp" huh.. [Beur]! Ready our forces! And lead them to "blood swamp" kill anyone or anything that barred your way..

Suddenly a figure appeared in the shadow, he's a hulking man with several scars on his face, two red horns towers in his forehead, he's wearing a blood red full plate armor, he has a menacing look, he is also [Beherit] bodyguard and closest friend, he project a powerful battle aura, he look like a god of war, ready to kill in a moments notice..

[Beur]:..............

He bows and disappeared into the shadows...

[Beherit] wave his hand and a black staff made of jet black wood with red runes carve into the whole staff, appears he grab it and he too disappeared into the shadows..."
