Far off in the city of Zagar the people were all in a panic running crazy in the streets. There was no safe place here anymore That bastard Polan had done so much damage here and killed so many people, no one know what to do. There wasn't much food, the strong were killing and stealing from the people. It was total chaos in Zagar. And on top of all that, there's this damn darkness that wont go away. Everyone knew somehow it was something Polan did. His revenge. People were doing things to try and bring back the sun. Kalin Ka, a dark priest of an old god named Maz found his way to the outskirts of town. He had a special mission tonight. He and his god were going to bring back the sun. Kalin carried his bag of magic to a place miles away from town where no one would interrupt him. In an old sacred place he knew of there was an altar made of bone , human and animal. No one came here any more, for not many worshiped Maz or any of the old gods any more, And that angered them. Kalin thought it was the old gods that had made Polan so powerful and ruthless. This he knew because of the whispers he heard at night. Late in the night Kalin studying in his tower alone would hear the voice of his god Maz, telling him how mad he was and how to help him get back in power. He also told him he could give him the power to defeat Polan. That pleased Kalin. His wife had died from the poisons of the necromancer, so he would do anything he could to bring him down. Kalin stood at the altar and set the things he needed up. He laid out his circle made of salt and set up his candles and the fire. He had brought with him a goat to sacrifice and different things to burn or present to his god. He took out the sacrificial blade and put it on the table. All was ready. All he had to do was wait until the midnight hour,say his incantation and make his sacrifice then Maz would grant him his favor. The only problem was,no moon. How was he going to know when it was midnight? He could only guess, what could it hurt?
[JUST DO IT NOW!! I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT.]
He heard ringing through the night.He raised his hands and began his call to Maz.
"I CALL TO YOU OH DARK MAZ,
THE GOD OF VENGEANCE.
TO COME FORTH AND BRING TO ME THE POWER
TO AVENGE MY PEOPLE OF ALL THE WRONGS WE HAVE SUFFERED"
The winds began to pick up and blow. Lightning flashed through the dark sky. Kalin reached into his bag and pulled out a hand full of Grain. He tossed them into the fire. The fire blazed up.
"FROM THE EARTH I GIVE TO YOU THE FRUIT."
The wind blew harder. He reached into the bag and pulled out a small bird. He broke its neck and tossed it on the fire. Again it blazed up
" FROM THE SKY, I GIVE YOU LIFE."
The flames grew higher as lightning struck the ground near the altar. This was all working. Kalin reached in his bag. This time he pulled out some sea salt and threw it into the fire.Fire flashed higher and this time the color of the flame changed to a deep red.
" FROM THE THE SEA, I GIVE TO YOU SALTS OF THE WATERS."
Kalin looked at the goat and reached for the knife. He walked over and in one swope he cut the goats throat. Blood spurted all over as he picked it up and threw it on the fire.
" NOW I GIVE YOU LIFE. ALL FOR MY GOD.
COME FORTH AND GRANT ME YOUR BOON DARK MAZ!"
Lightning flashed and crashed to the ground all around Kalin. From the air he heard loud laughter. It wasn't the sound of Maz's laughter he heard. It was a woman. Something was wrong. Maz should be here thanking him for his freedom. Kalin looked to the side were all the lightning had struck the ground. There he saw a pit and a faint transparent image of an old crone rising from the ground.
" I'M FREE, I'M FREE!!"
Kalin turned and fled away from the altar. He know who that had been rising, and fear filled his soul. Polan was a saint compared to what just rose for the ground.
"MUERTE !!!!"
Kalin knew he had made a big mistake. He'd been tricked. His magic was no match for her. Even in her weakened state like she is, he couldnt beat her. But he knew who could, and he had to get to them fast. He had to get to a place called Settlement.
