On a faraway land …

Where drought could be seen at the stretch of the lands and no sunlight could even reach.

​​

A cave surrounded with dark energy …

There lies a source of horrifying dark force.

Sequestered in an isolated territory,

And hidden away from the prying eyes of a living soul.

Inside the cave,

There resides different species of dark creatures.

Feeding off to a dark essence of magic emitted by the existence of the 'Dark Lord' of all these dark creatures.

In exchange of their great and fearsome powers, an eternal promise of contract of service with the 'Dark Lord'.

They will serve the cause of the one and only, the Demon King!

Among his servants and followers, the Great Necromancer, Zaeqir.

When one of the followers of the 'Dark Lord' woke up from her own slumber due to her severe injuries,

The Great Necromancer, Zaeqir, greeted her …

"Finally! You have awaken from your long slumber …"

Xiara, the dark banshee, looked at her hands and checked her wounds.

"I really thought I was dead already. The last thing I could remember was that feral wolf having a tight grip over my neck as I bleed profusely. Do not tell me you revived me from death, Zaeqir!" Xiara asked her fellow servant of the 'Dark Lord'.

"If I did? What will be wrong to revive a great follower and servant of our 'Dark Lord', hmm?"

"I do not want to be under your tyrant control. I would prefer death than become your lackey. It is not foreign to me regarding the knowledge of what happens to those you revive.

No freedom … Forever bound to your will!" pointed out by the dark banshee.

She started moving her own limbs and stretched her numb muscles from laying for too long.

In a small compartment where Zaeqir kept her wounded and fragile body,

The image of other wounded and inanimate creatures covered with red cloth appeared in Xiara's sight.

A part of the dark cave that only few are authorized to enter.

"Tell me! Was I revived or not?" Xiara, the dark banshee, demanded for answers.

Only evil laugh was the reply of the Great Necromancer, Zaeqir.

A hint of frustration and agitation were showing over Xiara's face.

…

…

There was a sudden change in the rotten stinking air within the room.

Xiara's eyes began to shift into a deadly look and full of contempt.

"Fine, I did not revive you! I arrived just in time before they got the chance to take you out completely." Zaeqir revealed to Xiara.

*** Flashback ***

Right after Selene warned Fluffy of not letting the dark banshee get away.

Fluffy tighten its grip over the dark banshee's bleeding neck.

Not caring if the dark banshee dies or not, as long as the dark banshee remains within its grasp.

Xiara was already spitting blood and barely hanging on with her own life.

While Selene was fast approaching,

A sudden appearance of Zaeqir from out of nowhere.

In the attempt of saving Xiara from the impending doom that she was about to experience.

"Dark Illusion! Hallow Soul!" Zaeqir summoned one of his powerful dark magic.

>>

Is a dark magic that creates pain and misery towards anyone that get struck by this spell. It uses the fear of its target and utilizes it to trigger the pain and misery.

Fluffy whimpered in great pain from a scene of the death of his mate and killing her through his own claws and canines. His bleeding mate died and it was all his fault.

It was a dark illusion created by Zaeqir and it even got worst through showing Fluffy his image of becoming entirely feral and killing the two siblings, Lucas and Selene, entrusted on his care.

Their death happens due to perfectly falling into the nature of savagery, a complete feral form.

This dark illusion even created an intense pain within Fluffy that made him trap into this loop of pain.

Even unconscious, his own subconsciousness was dealing with a never-ending torment brought by the dark illusion of Zaeqir.

Despite being unconscious, Fluffy kept shaking from the never-ending pain brought by the combination of two powerful dark magic.

>>

And …

>>

A dark magic that weakens one soul and attacks the light magic that protects one soul from the darkness. This kind of ability allows one creature to be vulnerable into a limitless experience of pain and misery. In other words, an ability to cause torment and torture towards its target.

Immediately, Zaeqir took Xiara's body and opened a portal that will lead them back to their hidden hideout.

*** End of Flashback ***

"If you were late even for a second, I would have been a corpse for you to revive. That will be the next worst thing to happen on me." Xiara told Zaeqir about the worst case scenario.

"Then you should be thankful to me!" Zaeqir pointing out to Xiara.

"So what happens now? It looks like you were right! The death of that she-wolf must happen … If she will not be converted into being one of us then it is better to have her dead than let her become our problem in the future."

"As I have told you, she has tremendous power within her. I bet that her powers are not yet fully mature. To be able to wield such intensity and level of power. She is indeed a problem for the return of our 'Dark Lord'."

"I completely understand your dilemma, Zaeqir! She summoned all elements within her will. All were being utilized altogether. If we want the rise of darkness to be successful then there is one thing that we must accomplish …" Xiara further elaborated to her fellow servant of the 'Dark Lord'.

"Yes! Her conversion or her death! Those are the objectives that we must accomplish. As soon as possible! Once we get the chance during the war of the werewolves, we will strike again!"

Then Zaeqir furthered, "I think we have obtained something significant that we could use against her." As he remarked at the sight of the corpse of Laquisha.

A new objective formed by the two great followers of the 'Dark Lord' …

For his long-awaited return and …

The rise of darkness!
