A Step Into the Past:
Once Upon a Time...
Deep within the confinds of Palace, a Man named Vizar visits King Nahum. Walikng through the golden halls of the Palace Vizar is greeted by The King's Captian of the Gaurd. "Who may I say is calling?" asked The Captain. "Vizar Agustis, I have been summoned." "Very well wait here" said the Captain. Entering the throne room the Captian approched King Nahum. ""My King, a man by name of Vizar has come to seek an audiance, he says he was summoned". "Yes, I have asked him here" replied the King. "Please send him in". "Yes my Knig" said The Captian as he keeled slightly and then returned to the hall. "Come this way" said the Captain with hesitation. He didn't like this man, soemthing about him troubled him. Weither it was thel ook in his eye or the subtle tone of his voice, something didn't measure right.
As the Captian and Vizar entered the throne room a bright golden light struck there faces. tHe light was comnig from large stained glass window behiend the window. As they aproched the thorne, they both kneeled. The Captain moved to the right of his King, while Vizar stood before him. "I have heard that you have learned the great arts of astrology and magic". "And it was my wish that you could share with me some of your findings". "Of course my king, a humble servant is always willing to display his work to his master..". Vizar gave Nahum and vile look as he reached into his cloak. The Captain alarm ed rose ot hsi feet and drew his sword. "Hold it!" he shouted. "Darrin put away your sword" ordered the King. "He is merley revealing an instrument". Pulling out a strange device Vizar looked at Darrin with vile smile and said "Jumpy, jumpy". "This my king is a device unlike any other, it allows any common man to see the cosmos".
Holding out his hand the King said "May I see it more closely?" "But of course my King" said Vizar as he walked foward to hand it to the king. Darrin intercepting it took it out of Vizar's hand and handed it to the King Nahum. Taking a loo kat it King Nahum said "MArvelous, waht very strange yet intriguing device". "Oh but my lord that is nothing when comapred to the arts of magic.." said Vizar. Putting the device aside the King asked "Woudl please deminstate kidnly some magic?". "Oh course my knig, of course.." replied Vizar with a smile. Darrin leaning towards his king spoke quietly "My king do you think it wise to allow him to preform magic?," "Don't be so zealous, it will be fine" replied the King. Stepping back a few feet Vizar lifted his hands and began to spout out strange words. A bright green glow surrounded hsi hands as deminstrated his magical abbilties.
His first deminstration was moving a chair, and then he caste fire. The King smiled as he watched with glee the wonders before hsi eyes. But Darrin was not impressed, that feeling that Vizar was dangerious stuck with him and now more than ever hsi consern grew. after watching a few more deminstations Darrin rose from his chair and said "That's enough.." But Vizar didn't stop, instead he continued to dispaly his powers. Again Darrin said "That's enough!". Again Vizar didn't obey hsi command. Reaching for hsi sword Darrin said "I command you to stop right now!". Turning to face Darrin Vizar said with smile "You didn't say please!". Then like shockwave Darri nwas thrown threw the glass window, shattering glass and nearly kocking over the King andh si throne.
The King rose to his feet and unsheathed hsi sword "You viper!." "How dare you harm the Captian of the King!". Scalwling Vizar sent several peices of debris towards the king. "Foolish King, you should have listened to your captian". "I did not come to give a show, I came to take a throne!". The King dodged the debris and movbed foward. Looking at weapons on the walls, Vizar summoned a sword to his hand. Leaping foward Vizar swung wildly. TKnig Nahum blocked his attack skilfully and held in lock up. "You shall pay for your defiance!" shouted the King as he broke from lockup. King Nahum then sprunmt foward unleashing a combination of skillful blows. But Vizar was already a step ahead of him and with one quick maunver he struck the King in back. The blow knocked King Nahum to his kees. Nahum could feel his body go numb and his breath felt taken away.
Creeping up behiend him Vizar took the Knig by th hair and held hsi blade ready. "Now my King, you shall die.." "But before I end your sad exictance, I wil lgive you soem last words". King Nahum bearly able to breath gasped and spoek thses words "I.. shall.. be.. avenged.." With vile smile Vizar echoed "Prehaps, but not today.." Then with swift stroke Vizar pierced the King through his chest. Vizar fface stayed unchanged, his expression joyful. THen relequeshing the blade Vizar allowed Knig Nahum's body to fall. As Nahum's body hit the carpet, dozen's of soldier rushed into the room with arms. Turning towards them Vizar but laughed. He then echoed several words and the mass of soldeirs were lifted into the air and thrown against the wall. Mizar continued to laugh as he sat upon the thorne. "At last it is all mine..."
Outside thwe broken window was Darrin holding on to the palace's wall. Scalling the wall he reached the broke window. He coudl hear Vizar laughing inforn of him and behold his eyes was his Knig fallen. It ass in thatm oment that Darri nbecame overcoem with rage. He grabbed the throne and shoved it as hard as he could sendinng Vizar tubling to the floor. Stepping down few steps Darrin unsheathed his sword and said "You dafted fool!" "You shall pay for your treachry with your life!" Darrin then sprung foward swinging wildly. Vizar quickly called a blade to his hand and he blocked the reapted blows. Vizar was unable to to use hsi magic, for Darrin's attacks were reletnlyess. It was like a cosntant hammer hitting his hands, keeping him from moving. Finally Darri nbroke off hsi attack and held in defensive stance. "I will make you pay for what oyu have done!"
"I'm afraid that your part in this tale is over valiant knight" said Vizar as he lifted his hands. Several weapons from the walsl began to shake and then suddenly they flugn towards Darrin. Darrin countered msot of them, except a samll knife punchured his side. Darrin gasped for his breath was takken away. However this did not stop him. Darrin leapt foward continue hsi vlaiant assault. But wit each swing he felt his energy dry up. His body was wounded now, and all his energy was being focused on it's mend. At last Vizar pierced Darrin's arm with a swift stroke. And with quick maunver Vizar knocked Darrin to the ground. "I must say you made a valiant effort captain, but now you ahve failed". "Not only by not killing me, but by not avenging your king". "Soon shall you join him in death". Vizar lifted his blade and prepared to strike. "It too bad really, you would made a great Captain". "Oh well.." Vizar lowered hsi blade into Darrin's chest. But before he could have satifaction, Darrin pulling a knife from his belt struck the wicked sorxcerer in the gut.
Vizar shouted in pai, as he stabbed Darrin in the chest. Pull backward Vizar took the knife out of his belly and fell to the floor. It is with regreat that I say Vizar lived to reign over Andlasia for seventeen years. He also married abd bour several children. One whom he named Almar. Those were dark times of Andlasia, but they passed and Vizar died from terrible diesease. Although all of Adnlasia was effected by these events, one family in paticular was effected more so. Darrin had had a wife and two children. His eldest daughter Elise and his young son Lorwance. Lorwance was to young to understand, but Elise was twelve and she became bitter. She sworn to avenge her father and kill the offspring of Vizar.
So now oyu know the Dark Age of Andlasia, it is with great joy I say things did get better and that happyness returned. But it is said that the offspring of Vizar still lives and that is shall pose a threat not only to the King but also to all of Andlasia.
