Sir. Galen Farrel:
Galen was again stunned into silence, 'this man is like no one I have met before....he cares not for what happens to this kingdom or its people' Galen could feel the eyes of his companion burning into the back of his skull, he just knew that his companion was starting to have doubts,' If I cant get this man on our side, I may be leading the defense of this kingdom alone and I am sure to fail.'Galen closed his eyes and exhaled, focusing, he had two gifts passed on to him from his bloodline, precognition and the ability to sway others with his words, usually he did this to bolster their courage in battle, but he was running out of options. When he opened his eyes, he was focused, determined, he was not going to loose this man as an ally. " You say you care not for these peoples, fine; however, I see how you wield the darkness around you. It heads your commands as if it were part of your very being. You are proud, confident, and you hold us 'mere' men beneath you; however, I have a feeling that it would infuriate you if someone so far beneath you used the darkness you hold so dear." Galen said,with an edge of determination in his voice, Galen reached into a pouch near his waste and pulled out a letter. "These are the last words of the King of Desmod, inside it contains the description of the shadow warriors, they use darkness as a weapon, same as you; however, unlike you they are animals, they are a disgrace. They have no honor, they have no creed, all they do is slaughter and enslave." Galen looked the Cloaked figure in his eyes, his resolve strengthened by the slight flicker that he say their when he mentioned the shadow warriors, he continued "I know not were you come from, but I do know that once they are done with this world they will find a way to yours. Now is the time to strike, even if you care nothing for us, you will be eliminating a threat to every thing and every one you know.So, what say you, will you stay here, in these rot infested catacombs praying on criminals who are barely worth your time, or will you you join us and show the shadow army what TRUE DARKNESS is?" Galen exhaled, his shoulders relaxed, his eyes still locked onto the Cloaked figures as he waited for an answer.

Vokun:
Vokun barley uttered a word during the exchange. Wanting to gauge Galen's mettle, he simply stepped back and enveloped himself in darkness.

"......HehehehehehhHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" I bended over in laughter "Hohohohehehehehahahahahhaha!" The two mongrels actually thought that the Shadow Army was a threat to the Dark Plains! How amusing he grinned "Mongrel you try to sway me with these words of showing true darkness! Yet even better you try to sway me with your words! You mongrel depend on me, you NEED ME!" The "knight" takes a step back while the other begins to slowly draw his magical weapons. "And YOU mongrel" I point my finger at the masked mongrel "I do believe you recognize the power of your betters no?"

Vokun:
During Galen's Admirably genuine plea, Vokun had enveloped himself completely in the darkness. Trying analyze the figure's intentions. 'Has to be a royal' He bristled. 'I remember many royals sounding like that.' The "royal" laughed at Galen's plea and began to berate him for it. Galen stepped back, surprised by the reaction. Vokun raised his weapons in case the royal sought to attack Galen for having that kind of nerve. "And YOU mongrel." Pointing to Vokun. "I do believe you recognize the power of your betters no?" Behind his mask, Vokun was shocked and dumbfounded. 'He can see me'!? Vokun's mind raced. 'What!?...how?....no...he can't be.' "Your from the other world...aren't you. Vokun finally said. He stepped forward, releasing his cloak of darkness as he did; seemingly materializing just ahead of Galen much to his surprise. "I heard stories but..." Vokun scoured his memory. "I felt it when we entered the cavern". "A presence similar to my own...but far more potent". He stepped closer. "I often saw figure's in the dark as a child" Vokun was now a few feet with the "royal". Gold eyes meeting the strange eyes of the royal. "I alway's thought it my imagination...Just a story we tell to scare each other...I suppose we were wrong".

"Hehehe" I chuckled 'that mongrel is quite interesting.' "Well then mongrel, tell me where did you get these magnificent gifts?"

Sir. Galen Farrel:
Galen was taken aback by the cloaked figures utter dismissal of him. In fact, the figure was more interested in Galen's companion who--- Galen's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of his companion. The man materialized in front of him out of thin air,'how the hell did he do that?' Galen asked himself as he listened to his companion and the cloaked figure speak. 'Some how they are connected,' Galen thought.' so maybe he can reason with him.' Galen to had heard tales of a Dark world, but had dismissed them as stories, tales of fantasy, now; however, he knew they were very real. Their only hope for gaining the cloaked man as an ally lay on the shoulder's of his companion.

Vokun:
"Hehehe." "The royal chuckled.' "Well then mongrel, tell me where did you get these magnificent gifts?" Vokun stared deep into the "royal's" eyes. "Dragons blood". Vokun said. "Years ago i made a last stand at my kingdom's castle." "In order to protect a few people i drank it. "The power changed me, molded me into a man with the power of a dragon". "Sometime after that i told a shaman what i done to receive these "gifts". "He told me i was unique". "That dragons blood will kill any who take it immediately not give them power". "He said my body naturally received the power and when the effects left i retained some parts of it". " Now, my people had always told stories about dragons." "We were associated with them since before the first tower". That reason has been lost to time. But if you are from the other world...than you would be old enough to know why that is. "As well as why dragons seem to be nonexistent today and why the are are monsters flaunting powers i know you hold dear". As Vokun spoke his eyes seemed to glow much brighter. His breath came out smelling of brimstone and as if to drive his point home he ever so swiftly changed his pupils to that of a dragons before returning them to normal.

'So that explains the mongrels gifts.' I simply nodded my head in confirmation "Well then I guess since you survived the blood that means one of two things." Raising my hand raising one finger. "One you are of dragon descent." Raising another finger. "Two you have had the unfortunality of being the host of a Shadow Wraith as a child."

Sir. Galen Farrel:
Galen could smell brimstone, it was faint but growing stronger, his companion and the cloaked man were speaking of dragons; however, Galen paid them no attention. His precognition had kicked n a few moments before the cloaked man's. Galen lunged forward, knocking himself and his companion to the ground while the cloaked man teleported, as a barrage of arrows, pulsating with darkness, ripped through the air where they had once been standing. Galen was on his feet in moments,'it has to be a scouting party of shadow warriors' Galen thought,'they must have used the catacombs exit, which lead to the plains, to gain access to the city undetected'. The duo were on their feet, weapons drawn as the scouts charged into the cavern, weapons as black as midnight slashed wildly through the air. Galen blocked with his shield, turning and slashing one that had attacked his back, 'How many of them are there' Galen thought as more poured in from the tunnel. He glanced at his companion who was fighting along side the cloaked man, both of them holding their own. The cloaked mans precognition keeping him one step ahead while Galen's companion shredded all who got near with his blades. The battle lasted for nearly twenty minutes, bodies of the shadow warriors were laying in heaps across the cavern floor.All was quiet as time slowed for Galen as his precog kicked in again , without thinking he un-slung his crossbow from his back, hands flew to load it, spun on his heels and fired. The bolt flew strait and true, striking an unseen shadow warrior between his eyes as he raised his blade to slash the cloaked man. Time returned to normal and all was still, Galen's companion jogged to the corridor the force had come from but saw nothing, returning to find the cloaked man looking from Galen to the Shadow warrior, now shown to ware the garb of their assassins, lying dead on the floor.

Vokun:
The "royal" nodded head in confirmation. "Well then I guess since you survived the blood that means one of two things." Raising his and raising one finger. "One you are of dragon descent." Raising another finger. "Two you have had the unfortunality of being the host of a Shadow Wraith as a child." Vokun was dumbfounded."What is a Shadow Wraith and what do you know of Dovahk-." Vokun was on the ground. Galen had tackled him to save him from arrows. 'Black Arrows'. He realized. 'Shadow warriors.' The warriors got onto their feet, weapons drawn as the Shadow soldiers charged into the cavern, weapons as black as midnight slashed wildly through the air. Vokun let his bloodlust consume him. Dynasty trashed arteries, Destiny relieved them of limbs. The "royal' was next to him. Vivisecting the Shadows with quiet laughter. Galen looked as if he need help but quickly turned the tide on his part. Vokun's chest began to feel warm, brimstone fuming from his mouth. He thought about unleashing it but decided against it. 'the fire would harm us in here as well' He remind himself. For twenty minutes they fought, till all were dripping black droplets from their blades. The battle was seemed over until Galen grabbed his cross bow and fired behind the "royal". Killing an unseen assailant. Vokun ran toward the corridor the assailant came from but saw just an empty corridor. He smell the air, listened for heartbeats or breathing. There was nothing...all was silent. He returned to the others standing over the body of a Shadow assassin.

The Mongrel had lunged at his companion to knock him down I seen why a mere three seconds later I opened up a corridor of Darkness to another area in the room several Shadow Armies ran in 'Scours...How distasteful' I grinned unseen by any 'Time to Die!' He tore through the Shadow Army scouts like butter 'How many of these mongrels will be foolish enough to attack me?' His precognition keeping him one step ahead of the quickly dwindling enemies. Slaying the last one. 'Thats the last of them.' Unknown to him the leader of the Scouting party remained and was going to strike him. He knew this but wanted to see for himself if these mongrels were truthful and not simply another set of foolish humans. 'Let us see who you both truly are.' Waiting for the strike to come. If they were false he'd kill the miserable excuse of a Shadow Entity. The blow did not come he heard the whistling of an arrow of sorta being fired and once he turned to the would-be attacker he was dead with a crossbow bolt between the eyes. 'Thats impressive' I turn to the mongrel 'Ah yes the Knight' He had quickly shot the captain with a crossbow with a single hand...Most Impressive.'

Sir. Galen Farrel:
"We are short on time," Galen said, "when the scouts do not report back, their army will know they were compromised and attack immediately." Galen looked at the Cloaked man, but his eyes gave nothing away. " I know what you think of us, and I know that you do not care if we live or die but we need your help, and I know you are honorable and skilled in battle for this battle proves that. Together we are more than a match for the shadow warrior. If you are worried about standing against the full army I can have the kingdom's army ready at a moments notice. So I one last time......WILL YOU HELP US drive back these abominations?" Galen stopped, wiping the last of the black blood from his long sword before he sheathed it, he looked back to the cloaked man, saying a prayer to himself, for the man to accept.

"We are short on time," The mongrel began to speak once more "when the scouts do not report back, their army will know they were compromised and attack immediately." The mongrel looked at me trying to find something in my eyes. I gave him no such pleasure. " I know what you think of us, and I know that you do not care if we live or die but we need your help, and I know you are honorable and skilled in battle for this battle proves that. Together we are more than a match for the shadow warrior. If you are worried about standing against the full army I can have the kingdom's army ready at a moments notice. So I one last time......WILL YOU HELP US drive back these abominations?" The mongrel stopped, wiping the last of the black blood from the long sword he wielded before he sheathed it, he looked back to me. "Very well I shall....lend you my strength mongrels." The mong-Knight looked surprised but joyful. "BUT." This caused the Knight to pause in his actions. "I want to form a contract."

Sir. Galen Farrel:
Galen was overjoyed that the cloaked man had accepted his request, 'Finally things are starting to look up!' he thought; however, this joy was brief. "BUT." the cloaked man said "I want to form a contract." Galen glanced at his companion, looking for any hint that he knew what to do, the only look he received was one that was as confused as his. *sigh* " Very well," Galen said " What are the terms of this ....... Contract?" Galen felt something strange, a shift in the air...it seemed to get colder as the cloaked mans eyes smiled in obvious delight. 'What am I getting myself into' Galen thought as he waited for the terms.
