Chapter 24
so Frankeen has explained all the members of the dark hand of the order to me in full detail, not sure if this guy's brain is as rotten as his body but either way it's good since I can't beat it out of him.
that aside there are twelve members total with eight of them being actual members and the other four being either constructs or summons. I'll just tell you what I remember as I remember it.
to begin I'll start with Frankeen just for the sake of it, as you know he is an undead human made possible through " Dark Alchemy " by Dr. Frankeen van Dunn. he is the lowest ranking member of the dark hand of the order basically because he can longer be seen as human, but at the same time is one of their most powerful members. he is an undead human, has nigh immortality, has basic weapons mastery, has basic dark arts mastery particularly the undead arts, has increased stamina, speed, strength, a healing factor as a result of altered physiology, also has heightened perception and most importantly he commands the undergod summons of death " Anubis ". anyway you look at it, there is no way I'm beating this guy in a one on one.
then there's Dragomir lebaniss, and if you're wondering if he is related to that Dagon lebaniss then yeah, you are correct. though I don't think they're siblings, half siblings maybe, Frankeen never really went into detail about his past, so I'm assuming he doesn't know or he doesn't care to know. but Dragomir Is another top dog in the dark hand of the order, I think he's third based on ranking in their organization. he indulged in some dark alchemy a while back and as a result gained the ability to shapeshift into some sort of lizard dragon abomination, pretty nifty for a guy named Dragomir. he has what Frankeen would describe as Brutish strength, increased stamina, high endurance levels, higher than human speeds, heightened senses, towering physique, close quarter combat expert, transmutation magic and what Frankeen describes as hell fire magic and manipulation. this guy is basically a walking tank.
lyrr and fae, both of them being siblings and from the lefae village in a kingdom further south of The Oak Kingdom, and the most recent additions to the dark hand of the order. fae being the oldest of twenty two years and lyrr being only seventeen years of age, even at the young ages of sixteen and ten they weren't spared from the harsh reality of the accursed ones. after an accursed one, a werewolf, Agatha the blood red killed their parents and younger siblings before their eyes, they decided to take matters into their own hands. though knowing they could not defeat the wolf on their own, they would employ the aid of magic, a task Wich would take them three whole years to accomplish. by the ages of nineteen and thirteen they would hunt the werewolf till they saw her lifeless body before their eyes which would only prove their formidability and determination, the sisters would then come to hunt werewolves simply for sport and later as a means to earn a living. by the time they were twenty one years and fifteen years of age, the dark order would come to lafae village to hunt the supposed werewolf but would come to discover that the wolf had already been fallen by the girls and a few years back when they were younger. the order would recognize their potential and recruit them on their sacred pilgrimage. physically they are nothing special, but intellectually they are a force to be reckoned with. always by each other's side and inseparable like their magic. lyrr practices golem magic and has three constructs of which she supplies with mama continuously, known amoung the order for her excess mana reserves. the golems partly created through the efforts of her sister are Aethwind the bird like golem, Iynhide the man like golem and Bansteed the centuar like. each having it's own individuality and telepathically linked to her, she is not to be trifled with. fae on the other hand uses a more intellectual approach, and has more knowledge in alchemy and healing magic, she is one of the mentalist of the dark order. I think she was the one that healed my jaw earlier.
Maeve lacan, another powerhouse of the dark order. an exceptional warrior, trained by the kings holy maidens. a fighting force from the lacan women's temple in the kingdom of lacan, where they trained girls who were either abandoned and had nowhere to go or those who had simply lost their family, it was a training facility for the king of lacan and was open and exclusive to girls alone where he would create an elite fighting force. after spending some time in this facility and learning close quarter combat techniques, an invasion of the lacan kingdom by another would occur, resulting in the destruction of the facility and all it's agents, Maeve being the only surviving member of the facility. the lacan kingdom would however somehow manage to resist the invasion and the king who would later discover her survival would deny any service she might render to the kingdom and would order her immediate execution, though she would escape and roam the border villages of the kingdom where she would meet Dragomir lebaniss and proceed to join the hand of the dark order together, but not because she wanted revenge or anything of the sort but in her words not wanting all that she learned over the years to be for naught. she
is a normal human with peak human capabilities, trained human strength, trained human speed, trained human stamina, trained human endurance, flexibility, agility, dangerous hand to hand combat and weapons mastery. a strict hand to hand combatant and weapons user, she likes to get up and personal, likes to savor the kill, a more stab now ask questions later type of gal.
