The Black Wizard
Look to the sky, the pale blue sky, the gathering of
immortal clouds, the powerful living light of the crimson
sun. Remember it, treasure what you see, and not for the
fortune of all earth and beyond allow yourself to forget
this blessed vision, this holly sight, this precious
memory.
For now, the ravens up high in the kingdom of clouds carry
the secret story of the prophecy, the evil prophecy that
tells of the day the skies will turn red with blood and then
black with death, the day the clouds turn to smoke and the
only crimson shall come out of the wicked flames of doom.
My father was Lueckrist, the great Wizard of Shal-Zanouk,
and as one might suspect he has taken care of training me
and teaching me the art of wizardry since I was a young lad.
He had every intention for me to inherit his place, his
position, his power and his name.
Every day we would at first speak and read and memorize, and
then later on as I grew older practiced what we have
learnt.
By my 16th birthday I was an excellent Mage, and by my 30th
birthday I had known all he had the power to teach me.
"As of now" he told me then, "You can only learn more by
traveling and living".
I smiled as I looked forward to a fascinating future of
learning and doing.
It was then when the treacherous eye of faith first caught
glance of me, for the Holly War has started.
The race of Goblins, allied with the Trolls and Orcs, have
decided to conquer to sacred Elven city of Ralegath.
Being Men, loyal allies of the Dwarves and Elves, we were
called to defend the city.
It was then that my father had tragically died, taking
30,000 enemy warriors with him by casting the Sacrifice of
Valor spell (sending a humongous amount of energy out of
your own body killing all evil in sight).
Thanks to the victory achieved by my father's death, the
city was saved, and the forces of evil had now become the
haunted side.
Everything would've gone ok if I hadn't been caught by the
King of Trolls.
At his dark chamber, his Troll Clerics tortured my soul and
blackened my spirit. When I awoke, I've felt the beauty of
the black blood in my veins, the desire of chaos and
destruction, the love of death and pain.
I was a Black Wizard now, a lethal weapon in the hands of
the evil forces.
With my knowledge and power working against them and without
my father to protect them, the Elven Lords soon gave in, and
the Dwarfish Kings followed soon enough.
After 5 years of war, we have conquered the entire earth.
The time of darkness had begun, and the Black Government
ruled the earth.
But they have forgotten about me. The desire to slaughter
and destroy hadn't been softened by our victory.
I wanted more, I needed more!
So I established a rebellion. Soon enough the Black
Government gave in to my powers, and I was the ruler of all,
me alone, the evil mighty Dark Lord.
Now, that I was all out of enemies, I began killing what and
who I wished, in all kinds of sick repulsive ways.
One day I cut a man piece by piece, without allowing him to
die. For twenty hours I've toyed with the worthless been
until I finally let go.
One dwarf I've turned into 10,000 ants whom I haunted and
burnt one by one. And the one who was my Master, the Warlord
of Trolls, I ate him alive, sucking the blood of his body
parts and licking his bones.
Eventually there was nothing left. I was the last living
creature in the kingdom of Dark Earth.
Still, my need to destroy tortured me. That was when I
turned to the foundations of the realm.
I've murdered and blackened everything. Land, seas,
mountains, trees and plants, and eventually the sun and the
skies.
After that I began to burn all that was left, using the fire
of doom I have conjured.
Now, all I could do was sit and wait until there would be
nothing at all left to destroy, nothing left in the world,
except for myself...and after I shall destroy myself to
satisfy my own urge to destroy, the End of Existence shall
take place, until the ignorance of another Creator God and
his people shall awake me, as if calling my name "Awake,
Dark Master, the land is ready for your wrath!!!"
