h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

MY weaponry is naught compared to Lady Elandra the ruler of Imardin, she was once the the head warrior here and a very close... friend

I have not much desire left to kill anyone asides those that would try to overpower and make us their slaves, I will fight for these people to and the animals of these lands to my very last breath and many of the animals I call upon are willing to do the same not to have the poison currupt them too and form different creatures of their souls

I... hmmm well...

Would you like to show me to your office

*gestures towards the door just as it starts to rain, coming straight through the none existant roof*

Sorry there is no ceiling it is the only way I could live in these walls

[Kraken II]: "Yes Lord Wolsey, sir- I would. The outdoors indoors? Now that's a thing worth traveling around to. I miss the ocean so sometimes... some day perhaps you can show me how to stuff a lake inside a chamber. Er,- I was only kidding. It... would be kind of frivolous and likely annoy the other residents and tenants here. Yes, but of course. Here, I'll show you the way."

*Kraken makes a note of where the widening sliver of light for the door is as he walks through*

*follows*

*walks in picks up a larger than normal sized long bow and a quiver of arrows then leaves*

*Enters and waits for Lycan*

*Enters and places ingredients into the the hollow of a Tree*

I am sorry for what I am about to do

*nods to Zantir, then pushes his magics out to seal the room*

WE only have one chance at this

we fail and...

I know...

*pushes out his magics to fill the room too, then removes a chain from around his neck to reveal a pecular medalion, the channel for his magics covered in spikes he grips it hard and blood runs freely down his arm*

Do what must be done Lycan

*the fabric of space and time warps within the rooms bounds*

*Lycan grips the bark of the tree then growls gutturally* come forth my brother I need your strength

*A darker form of Lycan comes forth from the bark of the tree growling and gnashing his teeth*

[Evil Lycan] How did you summon me forth?

[Lycan] The ground here is connected to all and as long as you are part of that ground I can summon you from anywhere in the world, you should know that you are as much a caretaker as I

[Evil] *spits* I rule over animals not care you them. why do you need me?

[Lycan] To make me whole again

[Evil] you shall never have that privilege

[Lycan] I shall subvert you and make your power mine, I shall be a full being again

*the two beings grip hold of the tree, their animal like hands tear into the trees bark pulling at the trees life force*

*The two beings become three a light glowing luminescent being, a being of pure darkness and the neutral grey of the wolf. The wolf starts on its hind legs too paws braced against the tree*

*The tree springs into life and the hollow becomes whole, the ingredients disappear and are lost. The tree Explodes upwards and outwards and threatens to take over the room but the three do not let go.*

*The tree once relatively small starts to merge with others in the room and even shoots up to tower above guild itself*

*See that Lycan can't quite push it to the end Zantir joins in the embrace of the tree and his blood flows freely down the side of the tree to the roots and the tree continues to grow.*

*Zantir closes his eyes and concentrates harder on pushing his magic into the tree lettig it flow through his blood*

*The three beings start to bleed too and blood pools at base of the tree*

*ethereal whispers* it shall happen this power shall once again be reborn*

*The trees girth starts to decrease though still gets taller and the branches spread out and roots start to cover the guild itself covering it in armour though only minutes old in reality is truly ancient*

*The magics of the tree start to push outwards*

*ZAntir falls away from the tree he knows he has done all he can*

*The Three beings howl in unison then there is a flash and one single Lycan is thrown away to the wall and slumps to the ground and falls into a deep slumber*

Sleep well Lycan Wolsey sleep well

*Zantir staggers free of the room*

errgh....

*Lycan tries to stand but falls back down to the floor*

*He shivers and sweat is running down is forehead*

An image of the pirate demon and his half demon son arguing and trying to smithy an unusual weapon outside the necropolis forms in a pooled-reflection of the sweat droplets on the ground.

And it is not clear why...

*Lycan tries to stnd again but coughs violently*

Alicia...

Why is the sweat on the ground forming a tiny-shallow vague reflecting pool instead of simply evaporating?

*It shifts to showing that of whom he has referred [to], instead*

*the pool blurs then Alicia gets stabbed and screams out in pain*

Hoooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwlll

*The pools shifts slightly as everyone around dies at the hands of the Dark Alliance. Then a flash of light and then the images shown are those of Alicia leading the army to victory at Yurick*

*The pools flashes again and Alicia is Screaming at Zantir in the council chamber, she draws her ceremonial blade and goes at him and stabs him in the gut, his blood pools down upon the floor yet he doesn't seem to move and still seems to be alive*

*Flashing again the pool goes to Alicia in a dark house crying on a bed alone with no one around but a cat sitting on the bed*

Alicia... I'm sorry...

*knocks on the door just as lycan howls*

Lycan?
*runs into the room and kneels by lycan*

Alicia...

*Lycan's fever is running wild*

Please don't tell anyone... *He coughs so hard it sounds like he is trying to hack up his lungs*
