Arioch - The Forgotton Lore of Darkness

[Redder]

In an old run down temple somewhere within the land
With guards at the entrance, and their spears in hand
Their red and grey armour gleems in the moonlit night
as a stir from outside the door, offers them a fright.

"Who goes there?" asks a guard, his spear at the ready
A voice replies through the darkness and states quite firmly
"The bearer of evil tidings." was what the guards heard
They looked at each other, puzzled by what was answered.

"Draw near, O bearer of evil tidings." the guard replied
"Are you mad?" said another guard whom stood by his side
Yet by then it was too late, their fate had been found
As Arioch stood forth over the two bodies on the ground.

His Ansharian plate absorbs all that could be light
as the moon fades from view through his magic of night
A Brother of Darkness, he sweeps through the Fort's door
leaving a trail of dead guards, lying bloodied on the floor.

The epic had begun, a tale of unheard and unspoken lore
that will pierce right through the ages, a tale of War!
For the Brother of the Night had started the quest
To the Halls of Amenti, where none know any rest.

The One had been brought forth, by his brother Uroch
and now the time is ticking, the gods celestial clock
The Power is to be found, deep from the depths below
as Arioch now treads, where others fear and dread to go!
