HeadLines ****************************************************************** The Grip of Death. ***************** It was a normal sunny day in the Travelers Rest when Torkalen and I were working hard on the current Mystique. When all of a sudden, right before my eyes, death grasped at his soul and left nothing but Torkalen's corpse. I was amazed at what I had just witnessed. It seems that even the immortals cannot escape the grasp of death. I was told by Torkalen that this was brought on by a tarot card and that Ronus and Vhrael suffered the same fate. Questions ran through my head as I wondered. What are the chances that all three of these happen at the same time? Who drew these cards? Are the immortals not immortal after all? The question was never answered. Many strange things have been happening to people of Thera. If you have any reports of any strange happenings please send us a note and tell us your story. Blood for Balance. ****************** When I walked into Seringale I noticed that there was a three-way battle for cabal items. The Knights were taking the Justice's item, the Legion was taking the Knights item, and the Justices were pretty much fighting their way to gain back their item. It all started when the Knights bravely raided the Legion's grounds and grabbed their item. When Remmenon noticed this, he first thought it was the Justices, but then to his surprise found out otherwise. So, Remmenon, ''the one man army'' as he calls himself, went to the Knights castle and slew their guardian to retrieve his item. He ran with it, only to be stopped by Vakarath, Grunky, and Taira hunting him like a dog. They cleverly trapped him and left his corpse lifeless. With the help of Xanetes they stormed the castle again to retrieve his item once more. It was not easy. Prastin and Nattfjod healed the guardian and used their henchman to deter them. After the long battle they finally slew it. Once he had his item, he fled to the forest of illusions knowing full well he was being hunted. He knew that it was pointless to head back to the fortress for them to take it back again. So, Remmenon recruited Shaelyn to serve the Dark Army and got Shaelyn to join Xanetes and told them to attack their guardian, take back their item and bring it to their fortress. That gave Remmenon plenty of time to get their own item back to the fortress - or so they thought. On his way north of the forest of illusions when he was met by Runath who attacked him. Eventually the item returned back home to its rightful place. Remmenon then spoke with a sigh, '' The Dark Army has given me nothing but trouble. I was stronger without it. '' When I asked him if he was going to leave the Legion because of this weakness, he said that he planned on taking Kolok's position as the mortal leader and making a few changes. Is Groq failing to bring the Legion to a greater power? Or is Remmenon the one who will bring the bite back to the pack? It was then at this time when Remmenon came to us telling us that his item was once again taken by the Knights. Being a follower of true balance in things I felt a sort of need to restore things to their rightful way. Even though the Legion is foul and purely evil, us Heralds sort of need them. If it wasn't for evil, there would be no good to stop them, if there was no chaos, there would be no law to bring order to them. Without the constant shifting in strength between good and evil, chaos and order, us Heralds would have little or nothing to write about. It is then when Xazappith and I decided to assist Remmenon, and retrieve his item. It was unfair that he was outnumbered three to one. A load of guilt pricked at my heart as I thought of what actions I was about to take. My hesitation to go through with it was burrowing in my soul. I warned the castle of our intentions telling them that we did not intend to harm them, but only retrieve what rightfully belonged to Remmenon. I pleaded for Remmenon to let me think on what I was doing. I did not want to bring war between Knights and Heralds. Before I knew it, the raid had begun, and I was attacking the Knights and the castle. We were forced to flee, but Xazappith did not make it out alive. My choice brought death to Xazappith. It was then when I realized my mistake. It was right to bring back balance to the way of our world, but not through violence. An important lesson was learned at a great expense. - Zanderic (Continued on headlines2) |
