Iltherian’s Sword - Chapter 03

It was silent here. The silence of undisturbed centuries. A silence so complete it crushed everything else.

There was a stirring here. It wasn’t a very loud noise. A mere whisper so slight that anywhere else it would’ve been overlooked. But here it was as a cacophony, an assault on the deep silence.

'Ah, at last, at last...it has finally come...'

In the deep darkness of this place, shadows began moving, sliding, slithering across the floor. The shreds of darkness were being drawn into a larger, greater darkness. When it was done, it was as if the room was lighter, even though the room was locked in the perpetual darkness of the underground.

'Yes...come to me...Tis time...come to me...'

The dark form darted from side to side, whirling about in a passionate, darkling dance. The air crackled with a maniacal excitement, a palpable force which would have incinerated anyone unfortunate to have been there.

'Yes, yes! At last, ‘tis time! Time...Time...At last, all will be complete!'
