Deep in the jasmine desert temple an S rank adventuring party comprised of a knight , 2 mages, a monk and archer found themselves beaten by the temple guardian. He was human like creature, a ginn of the highest caliber . 9 foot tall drak skinned with four arm shackles on each one, he wore nothing but a pair of white harem pants for clothes and on his back was a tattoo of a of a giant fig tree his hair was white and curly the white of his eyes were black with tattoo of a black tear streak running down from his eye to his chin and his name was Ishmael master of the black desert sands.
Ishmael walked up to the group of adventurers and looked down at them with pity. " is this really what the kingdom of waves has to offer these are the so called strongest worries of your kingdom pathetic I've had more fun fighting the bugs roming my dungeon"
The leader of the adventurers a baired red hair Caucasian man in his 40s covered in platinum armor stumbled to his feet using his long sword as a crutch "please spare us we only came for nobles men who were lost in your dungeon, please give us there location and we'll get them and be out of your hair"
Ishmael snarled at the man with an annoyed look in his eyes. he was perpered to kill the adventurers that was until he recognize a tattoo on the shoulder of the monk revealed now that his robes were torn. The tattoo was one of a fig tree surrounded by 3 ring. Ishmael was intrigued by this tattoo it was similar to the mark of the people who created him. He needed to know more to know if he was a descendant of these people for if he was then maybe just maybe he could final be freed.
Ishmael stomped twice and the dungeon room began to wrap. The once rocky cave wall turned into polished granite beautiful patterns carpet lined the floor, gems like Dimond, Sapphire and emeralds were encrusted in the walls and in the center of the room was a throne with animal status of sheep lions and tigers protruding from behind it all in a pose of crying and roaring.
Ishmael walked up to his throne, sat down and began to speak "the noble men your seeking are all dead, killed by one of the monsters roming the dungeon, which one was it again I believe it was my one of my pet, ah yes my ground dragon Terra serves them right the only way they could have ran into Terra is if they were able to open the dungeon vault and we both know why they entered the ancient artifact now as Raphael will stay in the temple as long as i guard it but you may, have the opportunity to leave this plsce" .
The knight was confused at why they were spared but regardless he was grateful. He planning to negotiate with the ginn to get the nobles bodies from the vault but considering his current position he could only negotiate to leave withhisparty." So the noble men are die then we have no business let us leave and you won't hear from us again".
Ishmael laughed his voice shaking the room "dear knight do you think I'm a fool, if I just let you leave like that you'll just come back with more people to try and kill me again not that it would change anything there could be a thousand of you and you would still lose to me".
The knight looked worried and confused " but you said you would let us leave"
Ishmael cut him off "I said you may get the opportunity to leave but that is only if the answer to my follow questions satisfy me, you the monk with white hair step forward and tell me your name and clan".
The monk was dark skinned and covered in bruises his curly white hair filled with dust and debris from the previous fight his robes were completely torn up only his black harem pants remained. Looking at him like this the knight recognized how similar the gin and the monk looked. The monk stepped forward and stated "my name is Solomon of the clan of lapis garden"
Ishmael was disappointed for a moment think he was from another clan but then he asked "what is there relation to the clan of Eden".
Solomon replied " That's the original name of my clan before we merged with the clan of lapis ".
Ishmael was disappointed he was hoping that the clan had merely changed there name and not mix with others this made his plans more difficult but not impossible "so your a half breed how disappointing regardless you might be useful I assume the white haired mage is also from your clan"
Solomon nod his head.
Ishmael smiled " good good two half breeds that should be enough alright the rest of you can leave these two will stay with me come over hear child let me have a good look at you".
The mage look fearfully at the ginn not knowing what he wanted her for she slowly walked towards him quivering with every step. The knight was angry at the request to leave members of his party behind he stepped in front of a the mage and demanded the ginn to tell him why he want them.
Ishmael frowned at the knight mistaking his chivalrous deeds for arrogance "my plans are none of your concerns and I dare you demand answers from me after you were the one who invaded my dungeon to steal my artifact and clam my life"
The knight plead with the ginn "we only wanted the artifact and the noble men we never wanted to fight you so please spare my comrades they were merely following orders"
Ishmael dashed to the knight grabbing him by the throat and holding him in the air. The party perpered to attack the ginn but a strange force pinned them to the ground Ishmael angered retorted "do you think following orders is a good enough excuse for making an attempt to kill what if I came to your house slaughtered your family and tried to kill you would forgive me if I said I was just following orders"
Solomon plead "I'll stay just let the other go"
'My plans require both of you stay' said Ishmael
The mage screamed "I'll stay as well just let everyone else leave"
Ishmael smiled and replied with an "understood" a bright blue flame emanating glyph of an forgot tongue surrounded the knight and other part members the flame didn't burn them as a matter of fact it was cold to the touch. The flame teleported them to the gate of the dungeon and left a mark on the back of there hand.
The knight immediately tried to renter the dungeon but there archer stopped him "sir if we try to fight the ginn again we'll just die and the others sacrifice will be in vain its best if we go back to the guild and form a raid party"
The knight looked defeated but he had to agree with his archer he walked away with what was left of his party completely and utterly defeated for he could only hope that his friends would be alive by the time they return.
Back in the dungeon Ishmael dispersed the ability holding them to the ground "now that the pest are gone we can continue our conversation young lady comfort and tell me your name" the mage thought sacred followed the ginns orders and walked forward the ginn looked at her admiring her Beauty . Her hair was white long and curly her skin dark and smooth she wore a purple robe but although it wasn't form fitting her hips were quite visible through it.
(and for the perverts out there she was a B cup yes I like women with small chest deal with it there will be more variety later)
When she finally reached in front of the ginn after slowly and nervously walking toward him she replied in a shaky voice "My name is rose how... how may I be of service"
Ishmael shrunk down to a less intimidating but still imposing 6 foot tall and with a soft and calm voice he told rose " dear child there is no need to be afraid I won't hurt you are your friend I only want to make a simple deal with you" rose and Solomon recognized the shift in character they thought to them selves is he really flirting with her right now are am I delusional from being slammed into the ground by his ability.
Solomon stood up and asked " what is the deal"
ignoring him Ishmael turns to Rose and replied "you see my dear rose long ago your clan created me and many others as weapons of war I Ishmael one of the most powerful, was assigned to guard this dungeon and the artifact with in it until the war between lapis and eden was done and considering the fact they merged i would say my work here is done now that I've explained that brief bit of history, the deal is I need someone from your clan to act as a host so that I may leave the dungeon but considering you're both half breeds I'll need to divide my power equally between both of you so you don't die from a over load of power"
Solomon recognized the flaws in his story asked " if you were only to guard the dungeon until the end of the war then why didn't anyone come to relieve you of your duties "
Ishmael annoyed answered " I don't know and I really don't care I just want to be freed from this place if you want to know why then you'll have to ask my superior yourself that is if he's still alive, oh what am I talking about of course that old fart is dead"
Solomon looked at the ginn and plamed is face he thought to himself " this guy really did think this over, I can bet there's a fail safe to this but knowing the history of Eden they aren't mindless killer's so it shouldn't be something like instant death maybe it'll be a trial or something like in the stories"
Ishmael smiled joyful that he would be able to finally leave this play "now that you are all caught up on on the situation it's about time we begin the ritual now, SINK INTO THE ETERNAL WORLD OF DREAMS AND SERVITUDE (קֶשֶׁר) KASUER".
The ground rumpled and the walls begin breaking apart. A giant black and purple portal apaerd on the ground between the ginn and the two adventurers and form it sprung three giant black hands grabbing everyone in the room and dragging them into the portal.
Everything went black and the two adventurers were floating in a sea of Darkness black trendal stuck into there skin leaking the darkness into there blood turning there vains black there eyes briefly changed to a shade of purple and white of their eyes to a black . Tattoos of tear streaks appeared on there checks resembling the ones on the ginn and they began to hear a voice " hhhhaaaa your trying to escape your duties uh Ishmael " Ishmael voice rumbled from the darkness "OLD MAN THE WAR IS OVER DIDN'T THE TWO CLAN MERGE LET ME LEAVE THIS PLACE"
the voice replied to Ishmael with anger " you fool we merged cause there was a bigger treat and you know that, you just want to leave behind all that we worked so hard to achieve , fine since you want to leave so bad I'll let you leave but I will put you to work come to the temple in Edom with the artifact were we'll discuss your new mission"
Ishmael arrogantly replied "or what don't you see I already got my ticket out of here" the fig tree tattoo on Ishmael's back started glowing and began burning into his skin " HHHHHHHAAAA!!! WHAT IS THIS "
The voice from the darkness replied " what, you thought that tattoo was for decoration if you don't follow my orders both you and the children will be terminated so when you finish your little fusion make your to the temple or your life is forfeit".
Ishmael screamed " DAMN YOU OLD MAN!!!"
After the merge was complete the hands removed the from the sea of Darkness and placed them outside temple. rose curled herself up into the fetal position trying to process what happened while Solomon annoyed and concerned though to himself "why did I have a feeling something like this would happen"
Then the voice of Ishmael spoke to from within there minds " DAMN IT I'M THAT DAMN OLD BASTERDS SLAVE AGAIN HHHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
