Chapter 6

Time has passed, and Xorkiuth advanced, doing things his way. The
world passed by a torment. The fortress was closed and reopened, but
the most important thing that happened was the Masterpiece plan that
Lord Morius devised. He brought back the Scions of the Eternal Night,
forging a new alliance using... the Unholy Icon of the Scarab.

During that time, Xorkiuth was in reach of the heroes of the Land, a
lone duergar fighting against the world. He judged noone worth of his
company, so he walked alone. Day after day, was a struggle, but each
day he waked, his pride gave him the strength he needed to move
forward. And so he did, facing victories and defeats with the same
pride he always had.

Two important things happened during this time, first was that Lord
Morius, with his new toy (the Scion Cabal), spoke a lot about the
need of suffering. Xorkiuth made his best to try to understand that,
but the truth is that he did not. Even so, the second important thing
happened, he was accpeted in the chasm of the Scions, with the task
to accelerate the changes the world was to soon see.

But, his Pride was tested. The archmage dared to hide secrets from
Xorkiuth. He dared to not teach him powers, he did to others in the
chasm. Xorkiuth tougth: "Do he think mages are better than me? Do
they desearve more?". Xorkiuth spoke out loud: NO!

Xorkiuth learned all he could about the items sent to another plane,
including the Icon of the Scarab. He learned It's power was not lost
just transfered. This knowledge is all he needed. So, he turned his
back to the chasm. Noone would be treated better than him, they did
not desearve his presence.

As of Lord Morius, He preached and teached so much about suffering,
thata ended up awakening an ancient Lord of Suffering,one known to
be, another Immortal to the Scions. And so, He would have to share
some of his power, again.

Xorkiuth stood to all this, doing what he does in moments conflicts,
he focused his attention to Himself, his inner vices. His conclusion
was quite simple: Indulge, not suffering.
