  1. [19:04] A divergence from the waking, into the sleeping.
  2.  
  3. An expanse of fantasy and dream, where two could find themselves connected.
  4.  
  5. To the dreamscape, a shifting realm was the demon's brought to by the incantations of the warlock.
  6.  
  7. No trickery or deception in his appearance had, nor the environment.
  8.  
  9. All was plain to see, and K'thul stood before Sak'noth openly.
  10.  
  11. "Abendrot had run the course I've expected it too, Saknoth.
  12.  
  13. I see it has fractured and now shattered by the alliance of Meranthe. I do hope you understand the reasoning for my absence, for I saw no purchase against the coalition of the continent's powers.
  14.  
  15. But..."
  16.  
  17. He'd pursed his lips.
  18.  
  19. "As unfortunate as it may be, I've not come to talked about what has occurred, but rather what is to come.
  20.  
  21. I've heard both you and Varrach had managed to escape the destruction, I am curious as to where the both of you have went."
  22. (K'thul)
  23. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  24.  
  25. [19:10] Falling into a deep sleep, before K'thul now the former Khan lay - in an ever-changing place, due to the powers of a Warlock! And certainly, one of the most powerful at it.
  26.  
  27. The Kaor stood before the Prophet, his gaze focused in his frame - yet remarkably tired and clearly injured, something that was brought into this world due to the nature of what ailed him.
  28.  
  29. "It was expected, it was what would happen - but as the leader, I stayed until the end to delay, drag as many mortals to the destruction as had been planned.
  30.  
  31. However, we are now in the desert - personally, I am moving back and forth between hiding places that I use to store my belongings. Together with Xarxes.
  32.  
  33. But we will require planning and a proper hideout." No mention of K'thul's not being present was made, it was expected - it was due.
  34.  
  35. Since nothing would be gained from his presence there.
  36.  
  37. "We can do a lot regarding this, but I think the ideal would be.. An underwater cave - something that perhaps, through your influence with Mori - might be plausible to do." With that said, now he awaited the Prophet's reaction and response.
  38. (Sak'noth)
  39. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  40.  
  41. [19:17] "My own escape lies in the Silent Expanse, my hiding place I believe should be uncompromised."
  42.  
  43. This is what he wished at-least, but given how he had to frequently move about before the days of Abendrot.
  44.  
  45. It was likely what security he had now was destined to be short.
  46.  
  47. "Combined with you and Xarxes, I am sure I can beseech the Mori and call upon His powers to grant us a secret abode that is unlikely to be discovered.
  48.  
  49. Deep at sea preferably, although it will take boats to get there if that is committed too."
  50.  
  51. There was something that came to mind however.
  52.  
  53. "What of Ebonhold?"
  54.  
  55. He questioned.
  56.  
  57. "I've thought you'd head there."
  58. (K'thul)
  59. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  60.  
  61. [19:20] "We can organize something appropriate and we'll do that.. Close enough to shore - so that we don't all need boats, that or we can use.. Riftmancy, creating rifts in specific places.
  62.  
  63. For only us to use." He informed and then, the next topic came..
  64.  
  65. Being, about the Ebonhold.
  66.  
  67. "If we fell, they will be the next targets - it's only a matter of time before they march upon the place, as Meranteh aims to eliminate the entire demonic 'threat'.
  68.  
  69. Disgusting, hypocritical parasites.. mediocre creatures." The Kaor roared and shuddered, clearly irritated.
  70. (Sak'noth)
  71. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  72.  
  73. [19:23] "That may work..."
  74.  
  75. He muses, although his attention is kept at Ebonhold for the most part.
  76.  
  77. "I will not hide it with you Sak'noth.
  78.  
  79. Those of Ebonhold are of anathema to me, they've committed many slights against my person.
  80.  
  81. From their harboring of a traitor that was aiding Aphros and protection of him, to declaring war on the Mori Himself.
  82.  
  83. They have signed their death warrants, and they shall all die. .
  84.  
  85. Although, I do harbor suspicion that Balrith may be favorable to you still. But...
  86.  
  87. He accepts and takes advice from a particular someone who wishes for your death, Sak'noth."
  88. (K'thul)
  89. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  90.  
  91. [19:28] "I am well aware of the disagreements between you and them, but as always, I abstain because my objective is clear - to consume the mana of this world, helping those who join me in the process.
  92.  
  93. I'm taking no sides, K'thul, and I'll let you all solve this, if he is to die - so be it." Explaining this and once again making it clear, he cowered like a gargoyle.
  94.  
  95. His hand gesturing while talking.
  96.  
  97. "Regardless, many wish my tdeath and I couldn't care less about any of them, but whose specific individual is this?
  98.  
  99. If you brought it to my attention, that must be important." Questioning, he tilted his head to the side before then, waiting for the answer.
  100. (Sak'noth)
  101. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  102.  
  103. [19:31] " Pity ."
  104.  
  105. It is clearly spoken.
  106.  
  107. "I've tried to lure him to Abendrot before the advance of Meranthe's coalition.
  108.  
  109. He demanded your death in return for what I was proposing, I rejected it before he is a worthless dog.
  110.  
  111. That is who Balrith is receiving training from like an animal and takes the word of."
  112.  
  113. His hands rest behind his back.
  114.  
  115. "I wish for his death.
  116.  
  117. I am sure you do as well.
  118.  
  119. I believe a scheme can be reached, where Balrith could bring him to you to die. Of course, you wouldn't be telling him that.
  120.  
  121. If that is something you are interested in."
  122. (K'thul)
  123. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  124.  
  125. [19:35] Of course, the parasite who thought he was important.. Acting with superiority, trying to demand more than he could from a demon and not just anyone, Sak'noth above all.
  126.  
  127. "Oh, of course a worm would try that.. He could not stand for himself, fearing for his existence.. And then ran away, to plot against me.
  128.  
  129. How extraordinary." The creature rolled its eyes briefly, before continuing - "Well, after all the situation, I'm rather hungry for magi mana - we can certainly orchestrate something and then bring about the end of his existence.
  130.  
  131. You.. collect what you need from him and I drink from the mana.. Simple, direct and solves a problem quickly." He said with a few nods of his head.
  132.  
  133. Now.
  134.  
  135. "But we will organize that soon, first we must think of a place to stay and plan things." That would be the priority, of course.
  136. (Sak'noth)
  137. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  138.  
  139. [19:43] " Certainly."
  140.  
  141. He coincided.
  142.  
  143. "I believe it'll be beneficial to us both.
  144.  
  145. Though you will need to get into contact with Balrith and regain connection and trust for the groundwork of that to be made."
  146.  
  147. He so did despise them as well.
  148.  
  149. "If you require a place, I can offer one.
  150.  
  151. Within the desert, although it is secluded.
  152.  
  153. Otherwise, the island where the sewer dungeon may be viable."
  154.  
  155. His hand briefly waves.
  156.  
  157. "If you choose the former where I am at, we can meet so I can show you where I'm situated."
  158. (K'thul)
  159. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  160.  
  161. [19:48] "An island would be appropriate as a base of operations, but for now, I'll meet you at your home." The creature informed before looking around, taking advantage of the..
  162.  
  163. Peace he had there, to breathe and rethink what to do next.
  164.  
  165. "Now if that was everything, I will now take my leave - I'll meet you some other time, K'thul - a letter will be sent." So he nodded and if there was nothing more to say.
  166.  
  167. He would now wish to get out of that plane.
  168. (Sak'noth)
