"Dark matter? I've never heard of such a thing. Though I suppose that's to be expected considering matter is a term I only learned two days ago." (Gernam)

"Even in my world very little is known about it. It was only proven to exist a few years ago. For the longest time it was simply a hypothetical substance. As you've just experienced though, it is very real." (Darren)

The lich scratched it's skull.

"I remember you saying that an object had to have an enourmous amount of mass to have a gravitational pull. How did that tiny ball pull me off my feet and nearly crush me to deat.... Ahem re-death?"(Gernam)

"Believe it or not dark matter represents most of the universes mass. However it's so dense that one about a 100th the size of that marble would weigh as much as the largest mountain in my world." (Darren)

"And weight mages can conjure this at will? That is very unnerving. I'm also surprised that none of them every realized it was a materialization type of magic instead of a force type." (Gernam)

"I'm sure they did. However not knowing full well what they were handling they may have inadvertently materialized one larger than the marble sized one I did and without the restrictions. Most likely killing themselves. Even worse they may have dissipated it to fast. As you noticed mine was small enough to where the gravitational field could be disrupted easily thus allowing me a few seconds to dissipate it. If I would have done it to fast a super nova could have a occurred. Or worse a black hole. An anomaly with gravity so great not even light can escape it." (Darren)

"Incredible, would you mind going into more detail on these black holes?" (Gernam)

"Do you want another 6 hour learning marathon?" (Darren)

"Point taken. Lets go ahead and tell everyone else you're awake. By the way Urvos and Nigel took the portal back to Armons study. They'll be back. They are resigning as guards. As Urvos put it "We need more excitement in our lives." That and something else about how the dwarven mob might come after them after they find out that those two are connected to the deaths of five of its members." (Gernam)

"Dwarven mob?" (Darren)

"Only thing I know about them is that they are called the Nulguard." (Gernam)

"That's hilarious. I mean I'm sure one doesn't want to piss them off. I just can't help but laugh at that situation though. I mean come on getting a hit put on you by a 4 foot mobster is comedy story waiting to write itself." (Darren)

"Ha, sounds like it. Anyway lets go get Tal'gore and the rest." (Gernam)

Darren Nodded and got out of bed. The two of them then walked out of the room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two beings stood facing each other. One a warrior clad in gleaming white armor. Wielding a sword as bright as the sun. The other his face shadowed so that it couldn't be seen. He wore a pure white overcoat, under it was clothing unrecognizable by the warrior in white. The warrior squeezed his sword and charged. However as the sword arced downward, a sword of pure darkness appeared in the unarmed man's hand. The moment the two swords clashed the sword of light shattered. However the sword of darkness did not stop and continued racing towards the warrior. It easily sliced through the armor narrowly missing the man underneath. Seeing his chest plate was useless the man discarded it. Revealing himself to be extremely handsome. However one would notice the white wings which spread out to be longer than 4 meters from tip to tip. The angelic man extended his hands and in each of them two more swords of light appeared. However, the man in the strange clothes bent his knees. Lifting a hand above his hand a monstrous double sided spear of darkness appeared in his hand. With little effort he hurled the spear at the angelic man. Obliterating him in an instant.

Grand General Saphiel shot up drenched in a cold sweat. The general felt something he hadn't felt in a very long time fear. Hurrying out of bed he dressed himself. He had to see the king, and quickly. Or else all of Razielon was at risk.

Saphiel stood in the royal court waiting for the king and the other generals currently in the capitol to arrive.

Unsurprisingly the king was the first to arrive. Danforth Raziel II was the ninth in his line. If you didn't include his brother Cornelius. The circumstances surrounding Cornelius's death screamed suspicious. He died of food poisoning a week before he was to take the throne. Danforth was a man of hulking proportions. Raised as a warrior he loathed his brothers political tactics. Many of the generals suspected this was Danforth's doing, but the king denied these suspicions.

The first general to arrive was 3rd general Nelfin. Like all the generals he was blessed by one of the archangels. Nelfin was blessed by Azreal the Angel of Death. While most of the generals were revered by the worshipers of Tillium the Redeemer, Nelfin was the only one who was reviled. His greataxe, Hades, was said to age anything it cut. His armor was the only armor among the generals that was black.

After Nelfin came 1st General Xavius. Unlike the other generals Xavious wore tight fitting leather armor. On his left side hung two daggers. Rend and Tear. These daggers were indeed misnomers. As they did not tear or rend. They possessed the ability to phase through skin and armor. Only cutting the internals. Or the eyes if you were unlucky. Xavius was the chosen of Uriel. The Archangel of Confirmation whose goal was to bring all humans into Tillium's light.

The final general Present in Fullguard (The Capitol) was 6th general Octurus. Octurus while loved by the people was perhaps the most enigmatic of the generals. With a contingent of only 4 underlings most people knew nothing of him. He was never seen without his heavy white platemail known as Heaven's Ward. Blessed by Tillium himself the armor was impenetrable. On his back was the greatsword, Gehenna. The sword itself was what stood out the most about the man. With a rounded tip akin to a semi-circle. The sword itself was pitch-black providing a stark contrast with his gleaming white armor. If one were to look closely one might notice a small groove running right down the middle of the flat of the blade. This groove is where the blade split into two. When split the greatsword would become two black longswords, Sodom and Gomorrah. When swung this blade would send out a wave of pure mana. Cutting down all in its path. Octurus was blessed by Micheal the archangel of war.

Sephiel was blessed by Tillium himself hence why he was called the Grand General.

With all present the king turned towards the grand general.

"Why have you called us Sephiel?" (Danforth)

"I have received a vision." (Sephiel)
