Prologue
Arcane explosions and healing spells were thrown all over the place. The sounds we only accentuated by the clangor of a metal blade. A young man was hacking into a walking corpse only to find that he did minimal damage to it. He impaled the undead with his sword pushed it back, whispered a few arcane words and released a blast of fire into the carcass. He took his sword out to see around him a pile of bodies that he had killed for the second time.
Cindres was doing one of the most foolish things that ever came to his mind. He was infiltrating the fortress of a powerful necromancer. As he began to catch his breath a now familiar cloaked figure entered the room again. "Perhaps, Cindres Corzoan, you have misunderstood me. You have committed the worst heinous offense you could perform against me. You have come into my lair and attempted to kill me. You will not live. Give up now and save yourself the embarrassment of putting all this energy to stop the inevitable."
Cindres only smiled. "Why do you necromancers always talk so much? Its like you try to kill us with your big words."
Now irritated the man of death magic shook his head, "You are the most dim witted creature to ever live. You will die by the hand of Morbid Destruction." With a quick flick of his wrist all the warriors that have now been burned past recognition rose again and readied to attack against Cindres.
Cindres was prepared for such. He raised his hands above his head, and as he did so, a black orb puled all the undead in. Flashes of violet, blue and green explosion could be seen. In moments, a small crater was left in the room with not even a sign of ash for Morbid Destruction to raise them from.
"If it a duel you want. Then so be it." The Morbid Destruction said as he took off his cloak. The colorless skin was ghastly and made Cindres’ stomach turn.
"Finally." The young mage said as he stretched. He extended his hand and a large claw appeared. It tried to hold the target, but as it approached Morbid gave it a light tap and it faded away.
"I thought you were being serious about this." The necromancer said as he raised his hand over his head. A pair of large bone hands came from beneath Cindres and grabbed his ankles. With his hand still above his head. He pointed upward then brought his arm down to point at the Red Mage and said, "Fire."
A single portal appeared and one flaming spear hurtled across the room. Cindres struggled to the best of his ability to escape, but nothing worked. He cast a disruption spell at the skeletal hands, which made them flee to where ever they came. He looked up to see the spear seconds away from him. As it was about to pierce his body it stopped. A green barrier flashed as it turned around and dashed back at its maker.
The necromancer was too taken aback to respond fast enough. The burning javelin buried itself deep in his chest. Morbid turned around to see another young man similar in age. He had a smirk on his face as he said, "Aren’t reflection spells annoying?" Morbid was full of anger and confusion. The other young mage pointed for him to turn around. He did to see Cindres coming at him sword in hand.
Morbid spoke one word, "Stop." And Cindres was paralyzed in place. He turned to the other one; "You must be Blaizen Forzet. Pity that you have to die," He pushed his hand forward and Blaizen’s soul was ejecting from his body. The white essence was then sucked into a gem on the necromancer’s ring. He turned back towards Cindres who was disabled, he waived his hand and gloated, "I now have a hand full of souls." He looked a little more intently at Cindres to see a single tear roll down his cheek. Before he could react, he was kicked across the room, by the angry young man. Morbid Destruction attempted the same soul-stealing trick on Cindres, but the man’s youthful reflexes foiled it.
Cindres came in again, but this time he stabbed him in the abdomen. Now with two weapons lodged in his body, Morbid began to get desperate. "I’m sorry to tell you that all you efforts are useless. I will kill us both and my people will come and bring me back to life while you will be lost forever." With that he looked down and mentioned words of death. In seconds, both of their bodies fell with their souls being forced out of their remains.
