It was dark... The choking kind of dark. Where light barely ever penetrates it's black depths, and even hearing is limited... The musty, rotten smell seemed to be the only thing that ever made his presence actively known. Then ever so slightly, an eerie green glow started to flicker in the void... And then it glowed to it's full power, shrouding a small area in a dim, evil light. It was a crystal ball... Covered with dust, on a small stone table, green mist swirling in the glass orb like storm clouds. Eventually, a bony, pale white hand with flesh so tight, that every small detail of the of the carpals and metacarpals was easily seen, with long black nails and covered with expensive rings, descended on the spherical device. The unnatural hand paused before an eerie voice echoed. A voice that was so unnaturally dry that it almost hissed. [glow=black,2,300]"It seems we have some company."[/glow] It whispered. The clouds in the crystal ball slowly faded away to reveal the swamps of The Bitter Coast, and several travelers clad in cloaks walking silently over the marshy ground. [glow=black,2,300]"The real question is... What are they here for? Is it me they seek? Or have these lesser undead stumbled onto my territory without knowing?"[/glow] The raspy voice asked to no one in particular. Then a cackle... An eerie, bone chilling cackle. [glow=black,2,300]"Either way, they don't belong here... Whatever they are here for matters little to me.... They are intruders.... And will dealt with accordingly... Their bones will be put to good use."[/glow] Then the glow vanished... And for a second, two, red glowing pinpoints were visible in the gloom before they too disappeared... Leaving the room in total darkness once more.
