RoleChapter 11 To light the pyre. Added Sun Jan 28 06:35:00 2024 at level 36:Upon the beach of Loc Grynmear, Ixen watched the smoke rising into the sky in the distance.
It was summer, and the gardens had been dry. A tipped lantern had been all it had taken, and with it a labour of love was no more.
He wished he could have witnessed the aftermath. Seen the barren soil, devoid of encroaching weeds. Stood in the silence as fires sputtered and died. Known the peace promised through annihilation that was that dire truth put to paper in the texts anathema: and yet with an even greater promise too. A promise brought to him not by the purposeless rampage of Zurcon, but by the whispered tales of another.
The promise that something new would rise from the ashes. That the world would be reborn from that consuming flame. That things could change.
Yes. He wished he could have stood there after the ash had settled, and given prayer to Ocaiye even as his first dark pact had formed with Trallmonnan. Had whispered his words of faith even as the cloying stench of his crimes had risen to cloak him in its dread miasma.
But he was not yet ready. There were those among the Order that for all their empty words and doomed ways of peace would raise their hands against him if pushed, and he was not yet their equal.
Not yet.
Ixen glanced down at the still waters of the lake. The monster was there, brighter than ever before. Spilled blood upon tranquility, a fire to illuminate the path to eutopia.
No. He was not ready yet.
"I will be," vowed the damned.
For the first time, Ixen smiled at the monster.
And the monster smiled back.
We will not speak of the dark roads that Ixen walked down in those following years. Of the unspeakable sacrifices performed upon those unable to contend with a fire giant's natural strength in the pacting of his dark benefactors. . We will not speak of the terrible promises made to the demonic forces in exchange for the power to do what must be done, and the terrible self-inflicted wounds carved upon his soul in the quest of a madman's dream. At least, not yet.
But many years later, a young giant of a hundred years entered Galadon under the cover of twilight. His face was masked with iron, and from behind it shone two eyes of molten gold.
To a house falling into decay he went, and this too was good; for to find purpose in the rotting of the foundations was a worthy thing. A place fitting to begin the craft.
So a dark knight was made.
