Role

Chapter 4

It was at this moment the conspiracy against him truly began. His enemies knew
they likely couldn't take him down from anything external, but they devised a
way that worked brilliantly to take him down from within. Better still, it was
through a basic illusion where if he had bothered to learn even the basics, he
would have seen right through the trick.
A small black mirror was slipped into a collection of artifacts quietly. It was
given enough energies to thrum and practically call out with magical power.
Iliunezyn was furious when he discovered it and realized nobody had told him of
this new artifact. He snatched it up and looked at himself while prodding it a
little with his talent. Angrily he demanded to know how it was used and what it
did. One of his peers was the brother of the sorcerous he slayed in the
'challenge'. He let Iliunezynv know that the mirror was a great object of power
that could only be used once but whomever invoked its power could see their very
distant future. He reminded Iliunezyn that the masters had not approved it's use
for anyone. Iliunezyn didn't think twice. He invoked it's power and he saw...


A bleak landscape of chaotic ruin, great lights of energy and wild magics flying
wildly in the distance like so many small storms. Power thrummed all around and
all around portals opened and closed. Portals, when viewed, showed other worlds
and other planes. Creatures poured in and out of the portals, dark little
demonlings or imps, Iliunezyn wasn't sure. They were black with wings and tails,
some, and they themselves had auras of great magic around them showing their
proclivity to magical talent. Upon a black thrown made of the skull of a great
beast sat Iliunezyn. He was nude but for the mirror he held, he was clearly
ruling over the thousands of little demon creatures as several were listening to
what he was saying before flying off into a portal and winking out of existence.
Here upon the throne of a great beast Zinezsyn clearly ruled over several worlds
at once. Iliunezyn from his throne looked directly at Iliunezyn in the mirror
and gave a slight smile. Such a beautiful creature and vision to behold.


...the mirror faded. Iliuneszyn was forever changed. House Esszyn Del'Aztir was
suddenly far too small for a mage of his talents. He was fit to rule not only
this entire world, but those beyond. And so he began to plan for his future, of
course his mother wouldn't be happy but his power far surpassed her own and
she'd never expect him to lash out at her fatally. Of course that is exactly
what he did. It was one of his final acts as a member of House Esszyn Del'Aztir.
