"I Have waited for far too long! You can't keep eluding me!"
The Dark Lord roared. His deep angry voice responded and echoed all around the valleys.
In his hands he held the golden spectre.
He looked at the tool and his fury rose again. His bloodshot eyes were even more red at this moment. He raised it high above his head again.
"I Vaarup, Lord of all the mortals and the immortals, I must reign forever, and you are not going to stop me, not now not ever! I will get to you b**ch and suck out all your blood! Then we shall see what your good for nothing boyfriend will do!" After he roared this, he began a series of chanting as he poured a green liquid onto the golden spectre.
With these actions a faint light started emerging from the spectre. It started glowing. The Dark Lord's eyes started glowing too. He looked at the spectre unbelievingly. His eyes widened in surprise!
"It's working! It's working!" he exclaimed. Happiness flooded his heart as he couldn't believe that his tricks and magic had actually activated the golden spectre of the time traveller.
Wasn't it said that only the royal blood of the Old King's daughter could activate it?
Hahahaha!
The Dark Lord burst out into a terrible laughter as his huge belly rocked back and forth with his mirth!
"I got you! I got you!" he shouted. From the caves below many anxious faces looked out on to the mount where he stood performing his magic!
"I shall now surely proceed to...what! What happened! Shit! Shit!"
The glow had suddenly died off. It was after all a faint glow. The spectre had not come to life as it was supposed to.
"No! No! You can't go off! You can't!" he lamented pitifully as he turned the golden spectre in his hands. Quickly he poured more of that green liquid and chanted more mysterious words.
Nothing happened.
Perplexed! He took a knife and cut his palm. Dark blood oozed out and fell on the rod.
Still nothing!
"Aaaargh!" he roared angrily and flung the golden spectre away!
He turned in anger and flew to the open ground at the foot of the mountains. The field was huge like three football fields. It was however concealed from sight by the towering mountains all around it!
After landing on the field, he flung backward his black robe and cried out loudly!
"Bring out to me all the league 1 legions!"
A rumbling sound was heard and various shouts came from within the numerous caves inside the mountains. Footsteps and people shouting filled the air.
Then thousands of men and women were marched into the open field. They ranged from as young as fourteen years of age to as old as fifty! They matched in groups of like a hundred each and stood silently before the Dark Lord. Each group had someone in charge of them.
"Your time has come, my army!" the Dark Lord began addressing them. "Your time to repay me for the gift of life I have given you is now! Your training and initiation is over! You all know what to do! My special agents will see to it that all of you are returned to your homes and do as you are required! You must conquer the world for your master! All the diligent ones will be greatly rewarded! And the lazy ones will face my wrath! Now prepare to leave!"
It was around midnight and his voice, deep and scary hit everyone present. Its dark force made them tremble unwillingly. These were once normal people residing in villages and towns all over the earth. But the Dark Lord took them captive. For sometimes he has imparted his spirit into some of them. These are those willing to serve his course. Now he was sending them back to the various places on earth where they had come from. They are his army!
Countless numbers of monster bats suddenly swam down on this army and lifted them away. Some bats took two people, others just one and even others carried as many as four people by its claws.
Well past midnight, in all villages and towns on earth, when everyone was asleep, thousands of people who had disappeared for some few days suddenly arrived. Nobody saw them because it was at night.
Then the huge bats silently filled the night sky, making the night even darker, as they flew away.
*******
When the monster bats left, the inner circle of the Dark Lord gathered. These were over a hundred men whom he specially recruited to train those whom he has just released.
"I can't let you go and lead them! Not just yet! You still have a lot more to train!" he roared to them, though not as viciously as at first.
"But my Lord," one of them began with a shaking voice. In the presence of this being they all felt jitters.
"Speak Rumai!"
"I just wanted to ask if the special appointee you selected has arrived and agreed to face you-know-who. My stats inform me that you-know-who is back on this land!"
Gasp!
A coldness ran throughout the meeting. All these agents knew the one person whom it was said was the only one capable of fighting the Dark Lord. They dared not mention his name before the dark Lord and therefore chose to refer to him as the you-know-who.
That person had disappeared a few days ago! Nobody knew where to!
Now he was back!
They all trembled!
If he could fight their supreme master, who were they?
"Are your beads telling you the truth?" the Dark Lord asked, sounding distant.
"I am certain supreme master!" he replied. The others shuddered. The Dark Lord didn't like this.
"Calm down all of you!" He roared. They all quieted down.
"There's no need to fear! I am more powerful than that monkey you all fear! The secret about him is to end his life now at his infancy! And my special appointee has agreed to his task!"
The agents heaved a sigh of relief. They even secretly admired the human who had agreed to fight that terrible man whom prophecies talked about. They all knew the tactic being used by their supreme master.
It was believed that this young man was not powerful now but with years he would be. Therefore, the Dark Lord wanted him eliminated as early as now.
But still there are some who feared. Those who knew a certain little secret. The secret that their supreme master has been trying to kill this human ever since it was born.
But until now he had constantly failed!
Those who knew this truth were sorely afraid of the being called Frank Delap on earth!
