Summoned. Rise of a Cardinal.

Post by vampirss »

She was in Twilight when the call came to her. The shadows around her started to whisper, calling for her to return to Dread. She made her way there as quickly as she could, entering the courtyard and through the large stone arches that lead to the Avenue of Dread. As she reached the Entrance Hall, a Guardian popped out to see who had entered. Upon seeing her, he moved to the side and let her down into the bowels of the temple. She moved along the way which sloped downward , the slightest red light coming through small holes as she went, the slight screams of those being tortured in the halls further down heard bringing a slight smirk to her face. How she missed making those screams happen herself during sacrifices.

Moving forward, the heat of lava beyond the thick chamber walls could be felt and seen through the eyes of the tortured souls carved deep into the walls from so many years. Finally she seemed to move to the bottom of the tunnel into a large chamber with stalactites hanging from the ceiling yet her gaze was caught by the four glowing orbs that held within their space a massive swirling shadow. Stopping before it she felt the power coming from it. This was the power of the
Dread Immortal, only He could reach out from prison and affect the depths of Dread in such a manner.

You have done well in your work...
You have done what was asked of you...
Would you do more?


She responded in the only way she could, “
I am always willing to do more.

Would you lead in my name?

Humbly she responded, “
If it is asked of me, yes.

The voice sounded even louder than before at this response, requiring more than the humble response give, “
It is demanded of you...if you are to continue with the powers I am to offer you…

Dropping her head slightly, then lifting it proudly as an Empress and Queen should, she gave the strong reply, “
Then so it shall be done.

It was then she was given her new mission. Accepting this mission with awe and pride, she turned to a place she hadn’t been to in over 200 years. Walking forward, she went into the cavernous chamber where lava flowed into the center pit, three devils standing about. Normally she wouldn’t expect this to be, however, she saw the large mastadon lying on the floor freshly dead and bleeding all over the floor. A large part of it had been torn apart, removing several bones. Using the lava fueled fires of Dread, the devils worked together to put these now charred bones together, a sharp edge chiseled and fired down at the point. One of the devils swung the axe and tore apart the mastadon further. With a nod between them, they knelt down to her and offered the axe. In the back of her mind she heard the voice once more, “
This axe, named Perditio, is yours, made by those you shall command in these Dreadful fires that only they can withstand. Put it to good use as you go forward on your mission.

Taking the axe, she felt the power that surged through it. The fires of Dread still burning deep within it, and felt with every swing she took. Looking at the three devils that were still down on their knees, she moved her hand for them to rise and simply said, “
Let’s get to work.
