Journal 21

[16:34] With battle soon to arrive, there was a topic at hand the ascended desire to touch upon. And with the sigh of Tyranny approaching? This was no better time than now.

"Ah... King. I've something of importance to speak with you. However, I can't say it may be favorable for. You." A stoic expression as they spoke, stepping closer into sight. "As you know... We'd failed to gain the vale, let alone starfall… Many of our people had waned in motivation. To sum it up shortly... Your title as king remains, but. I? Will no longer be a lieutenant. Rather? I shall be the one to take hold over this current state of affairs to push our people forward. At least until we've a means of standing on our own."

Staving the need to pace, their hand waved off to Eugo beside them.

"My apprentice, eugo. Has come up with an amazing idea I've come to spearhead forward. All will contribute to it. Whether it be by blood or artifacts... But regardless... Yes. I shall be assuming into leadership, a joint effort."
(Irkalla)

[16:37] "I'll allow it."

He'd grown reclusive, and taken too much time with self-doubt and thought.

"I am not one to plan for long-scale rituals or events, at least not now. Having one of you step up was the plan, anyway. Speak of Eugo's plan, and I'll listen."

Tyranny was a fighter, barely a king, and not a sorcerer. Long-scale plans involving essence was never truly his forte and thus this change happens seamlessly.

"I still have the Cornerstone, and I know you're going to need it. I'll give it freely while I continue attempting to buy time for us against Barsburg."

[16:42] Irkalla says, "Wait"
[16:42] Irkalla says, "Eugo"
[16:42] Eugo La Ravias asks, "Yes?"
[16:42] Irkalla says, "Don't you dare say a word right now..."
[16:42] Tyranny asks, "Hm?"
[16:42] Irkalla says, "Go with tyranny, into a building..."
[16:42] Eugo La Ravias says, "Fair.."
[16:42] Tyranny says, "...ah."
[16:42] Irkalla says, "We don't need barsburg people hearing..."
[16:46] Eugo's new appearance was one to be marveled, The flesh burned and rotted. A twisted thing that looked more like a demon than the Ascended did. And yet Eugo didn't seem all that interested in gauging the Demon Lords reaction.

He'd been organizing things for a while now, Setting up the 'Traps' for their guests that were sure to arrive quite soon. However Tyranny was rather agreeable, He expected nothing less after all they had everyones best interest in mind.

"We failed to capture the Vale, That much is true. But it means little when we have the power of Helheim right under our feet." The demon displays outwards towards the Dreadwoods.

"This area may have been poisoned by the gathering of many demons but that only makes it the perfect gateway to Helheim. I believe we must create a Spiritual Zone of our own, Through witchcraft and sorcery we can forge a contract with the Dark Lord." The echos of Eugo's voice only grew louder as his clear passion for the project was ejected forwards.


"We have spent years gathering Artifacts and now? I believe it is time we make use of them before our enemies seek to land a finishing blow. Thus I have begun to corrupt the Dreadwoods further, As we've been idle I have set up four conduit points that will work to fuel our ritual once Barsburg invades our Woods." He then turns to look towards Irkalla.

"And I have also been working to enslave our enemies just as they have done to us. A curse I've been working on that will let magi who are under its influence be even more vulenerable to Hexes." Clearly the Dark Shaman lived up to his name. Always schemeing and planning for the next thing.

[16:52] "Catch."

The Phantom Cornerstone is thrown to Eugo, a shimmering stone that has the potential to power any kind of building. There was no smile on his face, but he wasn't unhappy.

Rather, it was coming time for the King of Demons to let the next generation take things over, and for him to settle the score with a group of people.

"Use it for the good of our people, and I will have no problem defending it while I still stand. My sword has, and will be, pledged to the protection of this place."

"If not as a king, than as a guardian."

His sword manifests in his hands, and he finally cracks a small smile. "Do me proud. Avenge those who have fallen. Secure the next generation. That is what I ask of you, if I could not do it myself."

[16:53] {Item} You picked up Phantom Cornerstone. Dropped by Tyranny..
[16:53] Irkalla says, "Bah... You're not dead yet..."
[16:53] Irkalla says, "Quiet."
[16:53] Eugo La Ravias says, "I see no one better to be King than you Lord Tyranny."
[16:53] Eugo La Ravias says, "However you now have a Shaman and a Witch supporting you."
[16:53] Eugo La Ravias says, "We three will show Esshar and the world at large that Darkness still exists."
[16:54] Tyranny says, "I have not said I have, or will die."
[16:54] Tyranny says, "But my list is long, Irkalla. Eugo."
[16:54] Tyranny says, "Thus, is the sword of my soul dedicated to my people. As it was, and as it will be."
[16:55] Irkalla says, "Good... It will be required. For us to survive..."
[16:55] Eugo looks at the Cornerstone it was marvelous....He could make good use of it.

[16:55] Irkalla says, "That stone will be crucial to our project..."
[16:55] Eugo La Ravias says, "Indeed."
[16:56] Eugo La Ravias says, "We only have one chance. We had best be prepared in any way possible."
[17:00] Tyranny says, "I have my faith in you."
[17:00] Tyranny says, "For now, I will await Walter's arrival, sword in hand. "
[17:01] Eugo La Ravias says, "Mhm very well. I will focus on hexing the Barsburg soldiers to fight for us."
[17:03] Irkalla says, "Good good... Now that, that's out of the way? I shall return to watch over the captives."
[17:04] Eugo La Ravias says, "I as well."
