Far away from the battle with the skele-beast...
Deimos: Vadskye.
Vadskye: Yes?
Deimos: We don't need gods. We can defeat the Unholy One by ourselves, if RSF is willing to comply with my plan.
RSF heard him.
RSF: What plan?
Deimos: I think that the skele-beast was sent to help Gorman escape. It would be foolish, and most unlike the Unholy One to leave it. I think, as soon as the skele-beast gets out, it's going to help Gorman. We have the crystals. Gorman and the skele-beast are sure to come after us. So here's my plan: When that thing and Gorman find us, Vadskye, Dean, MM, and I can stage a battle against them.
RSF: What do I do?
Deimos: You sneak behind them and trap them in time.
RSF: That won't be easy.
Deimos: I know. You'll have to try. As I was saying, after they are trapped, the Unholy One is sure not to leave his best... people behind, so he'll come to free them. Then we strike!
MM: I see. We drain the Unholy One completely, then what?
Deimos: Without his powers, there's no way the skele-beast can still function. If Gorman's under a spell, he'll be free and help us. If not, we pin him under a gryphon, if Dean is willing.
Dean: Fine, Magog!
Deimos: Then, we hit the Unholy One with everything we've got. That should be enough.
MM: And if it's not?
Deimos: RSF can trap him in time temporarily, so we can deal with Gorman, and rest. Then we release him, and fight him again. Simple.
MM: Deimos, I don't think you understand. The Unholy One may not be alone. He may have ressurected his helpers.
Deimos: No matter. I'll freeze them.

Vadskye: "But Deimos, these aren't just little toadies like Dark Spamlings. He could have the legendary Four Horsemen. I'm afraid that won't work. Besides, RSF can only trap one person in time."
Deimos: "Darn, I guess it won't work. Oh well."

'Deimos, I don't think you understand what you're saying'. I said.
'What do you mean?' asked the magog.
MM sighs and rolls his eyes at me. 'I can't believe demons forgot about this just like the humans, since they live longer'.
'Forgot what?' asks Deimos.
I sighed and began to explain.
'Deimos, for a start, if the Unholy One has ressurected any of the Forsaken Ones I've read about we could be in real trouble. Have you ever been told about Grathamel? Surely some of your elders remember him?'
'No, I've never heard of him. Was he a Forsaken One?'
'Very much so' I reply, and for you, the most dangerous.
'Why me?' asked the now concerned Magog.
'Well just as the Unholy One is a physical manifestation of what we call Necromancy, Grathamel was the embodiment of Demonology. I he was to appear with the Unholy One, then you, my scaly friend wouldn't be freezing anyone. You'd be dancing to Grathamel's tune quicker than rats to a flute.'
Deimos visibly gulps with anxiety.
'Ok, perhaps we should work on that plan a bit more.....'

*Trying to sleep after today's events were harder than Mighty Mage thought. The evil thoughts were still floating through him. Thoughts of destruction and misusing his magic. He couldn't discard his crystals though. One possibly because he was only the gaurdian of the Wind Zypher. He couldn't trust RSF alone though. Vadskye seemed to have picked up his old habbits as well. No one could be trusted. Maybe Dean but Mighty Mage was still unsure. He didn't really know him that well. What ifhe was like RSF? He seemed to have a natural hate for the man along with his crystal indiced hate. Heh heh heh heh, he'll probably kill the little bastard tonite......WAIT what am I thinking? This stupid crystal. WHY? It's evil must be drained but the Master Emerald was miles from here. For it to naturally drain will take days. How much longer can we stay like this? Try to sleep Mighty Mage...with one eye open...always one eye...*

Dean slept fitfully that night. Dark energy from the Ice Mace twisting his dreams, turning them to nightmares. Nightmares of waking up with the Unholy One standing over him and his companions already slain. Dreams of his companions betraying him into the hands of the Unholy One. Dreams of MM losing control and incinerating them as they slept. Churning round and around his brain. He awoke bleary-eyed and fatigued, not sure if he could spend anymore nights dreaming those dreams
RSF was already awake and eating breakfast. The wolves Dean had summoned the night before had hunted them a tasty deer, and Deimos had butchered it easily with is sharp claws. The deer stew's smell brought Dean out of his dark thoughts and he moved to serve himself a portion, pointedly ignoring RSF. If the time-mage made one of his cutting remarks this morning Dean was going to kill him with his bare hands.
NO! I WON'T!
This couldn't go on.
Bringing MM a serving of stew I roused him from his blankets, noticing that MM slept with one eye open. Maybe he was having the same kind of dreams I was.
'We need to talk' I said, when MM was fully awake.
'About what?' MM asked. 'The last time we needed to talk you tried to convince me that Vadskye was an evil mastermind. Or are you still trying to convince me?'
'No, not that' I said. 'Though we still only have his word about where he was. And it seems awfully coincidental tha-'
MM raised an eyebrow at me sternly.
'Okay, I didn't want to talk about that. I wanted to talk about these crystals we're carrying. We're miles from the master Emerald, and we're being bathed in pure evil every second we hold on to them'.
'Are you saying abandon them? Because there's no way-'
'No I'm not saying abandon them. I'm saying that maybe there is a way to shield ourselves from the effect of the taint they're carrying them. I don't know a shielding spell that strong, but I wondered if you might? Or if we could combine both of ours whether that would work'.
MM shook his head. 'No, I don't think that combining two shields would be strong enough. Coming from two different people they wouldn't fit together perfectly, and the taint could still leach out. And I'm not sure there ARE any single shielding spells strong enough to withstand the continuous foulness being given out. We'll just have to try and deal with it as best we can'.
'Perhaps not gentlemen', said a familiar arrogant voice behind us.
Spinning around I said angrily' Do you always listen in to private conversations? What do you want RSF?'
Grinning at me annoyingly he said, 'Actually I was coming over to see if you would send up your griffin scouts again, but I overheard enough to come up with an answer to our problem'.
'And what might that be?' MM asked sharply. RSF was starting to annoy even MM. The situation was getting worse. Burn the man! What was his plan?
'My time-trap spell could deal with them. I can carry them about with us, temporarily displaced in time, so that the evil residue wouldn't touch us'.
'No' I said bluntly.
'That means I would have to hand you over the Ice Mace, and MM would have to give up the Ruby and Zephyr's Emerald. Leaving you in control of all four gems. I just don't trust you enough for that RSF.'
MM agreed with me, but he took longer to voice his opinion than I would have liked.
'As you wish' replied RSF. 'But the offer stands. Incase you decide later to change your mind'.
He moved off and started packing up the camp with Deimos and Vadskye. I sat with MM and watched him.
'We can't give him all four gems MM. You told me yourself, he's just waiting for an opportunity to betray us. He only needs us for those gems. What's to stop us from disappearing with them once he has them'.
MM sat for a long time staring off into the distance.
'I don't know Dean. He needs us, you me and Vadskye to use them all. He can't use all four gems at once. And it's getting harder.....to.....regulate my emotions. I think all of our choices are bad ones. But which is worse Dean?'
His voice dropped to a whisper.
'Which is worse.....'
We trudged on that day, my griffins finding no trace of the angel or the Unholy One. The area was unpopulated, so there was no tell-tale screaming villagers to point our way for us. But we were travelling steadily northwest.
'I think we're heading towards the Unholy One's mausoleum', said Vadskye. 'I definetly recognise some of these landmarks from when we flew here, don't you Dean?'
I wasn't sure, but then it all fit together. Where else would the Unholy One run to, if not it's base? I berated myself for not thinking of it sooner. I was so stupid. How dare Vadskye make me feel stupid. I still think there's something suspicious about hi- NO! Dammit I have to keep my thoughts straight! I can't give in to the taint!
It went on like that all day. Us barely speaking for fear of sparking rage in one of the others, and as night drew close I dreaded another night of fitful sleep and nightmares. In the end that was what decided it for me.
That and MM's words haunting me.
The longer he endured the taint, the easier it would be to lose control. I spoke with him again before we made our decision.
'I want to be sure we're doing the right thing' I said. 'We need to stay alive, we're the only ones with the means to deal with the Unholy One. And to do that we need to trust that the most dangerous man in the land won't turn on us when we give up our greatest weapons. Is that what we're doing?'
MM sighed. 'Yes Dean, that's what we're doing. Are you satisfied. Do you need to analyse it one last time? We do what we must'.
So we did what we must.
We did it before we went to sleep. RSF smiled sardonically as we handed him the gems and the Mace, the passed his hands over them. There was a bright purple flash and then they were gone. I felt a tension so great in me release I almost fell to the ground.
MM breathed in and out for a long time. His eyes closed, I heard him whisper:
'Please let us have done the right thing....'
That night I slept peacefully. If I dreamed, I didn't remember when I woke up......

OOC: Okay I need to go back a night since I’m a little behind on my posting.
The night before...
Gorman: “We need to talk.”
RSF: “So you decided to listen to me after all.”
Gorman: “I think you may be right about the Unholy One being an untrustworthy ally.”
RSF: “May?”
Gorman: “Okay, you are right.”
RSF smiles and remains silent. Gorman gives him a glare not liking the smugness of RSF.
Gorman: “You know more than what you told me. You said that he can only be trusted through bondage. You know a way to enslave him. Do you not?”
RSF: “I like a man that gets down to business. Of course I knew more. I wasn’t just going to tell you everything. If you were perceptive at all you would have come back asking more questions, which you did.”
Gorman remains silent an gives RSF an impatient eye.
RSF: “Yes… so… in the town there is a library. Being the sneak that you are, you probably were watching us do some research on the Forsaken Ones and caught a nice glimpse of Shadowcaster. However I did some research of my own far before those men went researching on the Forsaken Ones. I had some different things in mind and found there to be catacombs beneath the library. In the basement there is a door which has been magically sealed. There is no power great enough in existence to open that door except for one thing. All four of the magical gems must be placed upon the altar to open the door. There is ancient scripture on the door. It reads something like this…
RSF: “Within this tomb lies the power to defeat, the power to trap, the power to summon, and the power to control the Forsaken Ones; the power to defeat, the ancient library the Supreme Magi; the power to trap, the master emerald; the power to summon, the ring of Armageddon. I will never give you the Land’s Opal, so you can bring it to the Unholy One when we can control them as much as we want. Now you said you wanted to summon the Forsaken Ones correct? I believe that when you summon them you must be able to control them after you do so. I simply want to learn the magic, make myself more powerful. You can do what you wish with the ring of summoning.”
The following night…
RSF slips away from camp silently and with all haste possible. He finds his way into a clearing and looks up to find Gorman. He doesn’t see him, but knows that he will follow him. He summons another familiar, a horse this time. He mounts himself onto his new ride and takes off like a bolt of lightning.
In just a few hours he arrives back in town. Not but a few seconds after he dismounts outside of the library he sees Gorman fly down, landing quietly by his side. The two exchange untrusting glances, but RSF knows that Gorman is going after a ring that does not exist. He knows very well that the pendant is the key to both summoning and having control over the Forsaken Ones. He leads Gorman down to the basement and places the gems in the altar. The entire room goes pitch black. The gems are releasing the dark energies of the Unholy One and absorbing massive amounts of light energy.
RSF: “This happened the first time I came here. Don’t touch the gems, they are keeping the door open. See? Watch!”
RSF grabs the gem and pulls on it, but it is stuck in place being held by some magical spell.
RSF: “It’s stuck! I guess no one will be getting those gems. Okay so I’ll go look for some books on how to use the ring, you go find the ring, but be careful, I think these ancient artifacts are well protected by magical spells and some of them may even be guarded by powerful creatures.”

Dean woke the next morning, refreshed and rested.
I climbed out of my blankets, amazed at how a good nights sleep could wash away so much negativity.
I still couldn't like RSF, but as I thought about him I no longer felt the need to kill him.
Then I saw his empty blankets.
'I'LL KILL THE BASTARD!!!!!!'
My cry brought the others out of their blankets. Vadskye was the first by my side, a pair of long daggers in his hands.
'Whassa matter?' he asked, not fully awake. Deimos was next to arrive.
'What's going on?' he asked, looking around as MM joined us. 'Hey where's RSF?'
I looked at MM as I said, 'He's disappeared. Without a trace.'
I saw MM's shoulders slump.
Then he squared his shoulders and said,
'Okay. He needs to die. Now.'
I agreed.

This must have been first time that one of Dingo’s plans went exactly as they should. No interruptions. He was starting to get a cramp in his right shoulder.
Dingo: How much longer?
Artist: Not much, I’m almost finished.
Dingo had been sitting there for hours. He recalled what had happened over the past few weeks…
After that chaotic fighting and the Unholy One left. Dingo went around the town, helping people out. Getting more and more worshippers everyday. His power was growing. Dingo constantly went to the Realm of Gods. It was a good way to relax. He had met a lot of new friends and allies. Once all the repairs in town were made, Dingo visited the King. The King, Hypnotized of course; made Dingo a Royal Knight. He became the Kings right hand and personal bodyguard…
Dingo smiled. He would soon become Ruler of the town. Since the King didn’t have any sons and his Will stated that Dingo would become King.
Artist: Ok, we are finished here.
Dingo looked at the painting. It was worth the wait.
Dingo: Good Job.
The painting was hung in the gallery, and it was beautiful.
He went outside. He began to wonder what had happened to RSF and Shadowcaster. Had the Unholy One or that crew of mages killed them? Dingo decided maybe it was time for an adventure.

Unholy One: Ahh, Gorman has completed his job. Apparently he has convinced RSF to help. Good. Ahh, the energy released. I feel stronger already. Time to bring back the horsemen.
The unholy one marches to the hidden room, where the tombs of the four horsemen are.
Unholy One: Awaken! The time is apon us! We will not fail to rule this time! United we shall stand! Humans, Mages, and even Arch Angels shall fall before us!!! AWAKEN!!!!
Replying to his command, the statues begin to come to life. Pestilence's locusts begin buzzing around excitedly. Death takes a long, rattling breath and exhales. War swings his battle mace around.
War: You! How long have we been imprisoned?
Unholy One: Ahh..war..my old buddy..hehe. I'd say somewhere between 5000-10000 years.
Pestilence: Whaaaat?? Thissssss isssss impossssssss-ee-bel. Where are ze ozhersss?
Unholy One: You four are the first i released.
Famine: Then we must find the others. The Demon lord first. The demons will be a powerful ally.

Gorman: “I am no fool. There is no ring now is there? There is something you are not telling me. That is why I will not be taking my eye off you.”
RSF: “Even when you are being attacked by several iron golems?”
Gorman gives another glare at RSF.
Gorman: “I only need one eye to fight.”
RSF chuckles and shakes his head at the angel.
RSF: “Well… I’m going THIS way. So if you’re going to keep your eye on me, then I would recommend that you should follow.”

*Well after that momentary grrrr fest, Mighty Mage decided that maybe Vadskye had a point. Besides, he was a theif after all. Who would know devious minds better than a person that had one. The only problem was that Dean had a valid point as well. RSF had only one concern and that was gaining more for himself. If he could harness this kind of power he would have no more need for Dingo anymore. The poor fool was probably still in the town.*
Mighty Mage: That's it...
Vadskye: What now?
Mighty Mage: Dingo. We need to go get Dingo.
Dean: Who?
Mighty Mage: Dingo, he was RSF's partner before this whole thing started.
Dean: So how can he posibly help us? If he was RSF's partner don't you think he would help him?
Vadskye: I see where he's going with this.
Mighty Mage: Exactly. If we tell Dingo that RSF has ditched him in order to gain more power for himself he'll HAVE to help us. With his godly powers we may have a chance.
Vadskye: True but who's to say he won't just go off on his own. Last I remember he was no better than RSF himself. And his hypno hand. Did you remember that?
Mighty Mage: Right...that.
Dean: So this Dingo, he's a god?
Mighty Mage: A self proclaimed god. He gained all these powers a while back and so he now considerers himself a god.
Dean: So do we go find him? I think we should go after RSF. He's probably already at the Emerald Chamber by now.
Mighty Mage: Exactly. What are we gonna do when we get there? Have a nice chat over Tea and cookies?
Vadskye: Oooh, one point for MM.
Dean: Ok, you make sence but I still don't know about this Dingo character. Wasn't he the one with those dark creatures?
Mighty Mage: Yes but we may be able to use them. We don't have our crystals...RSF does. Our magic is pretty much useless against the Forsaken Ones, that we already know. What else can we do but try?
*What do our heroes do now? Should they risk engaging the Forsaken Ones or should they attempt to pull the Spam god Dingo to their cause? Somthing must be done...and done quickly.*

The shimmering subsided, and as his eyes adjusted to the darkness that he had been wrenched from just moments ago, Shadowcaster realized that he and Lith were in some sort of a temple, perhaps a mausoleum. Whatever it was, it appeared to be deserted. But appearances can be deceiving.
Voices rang through the hallway, echoing more than usual. As the vampiric elf noticed the voices, he quickly darted off in search of the source, motioning for the shadow mage to follow. He did so, though reluctantly, and soon found himself in the inner sanctum of the dark temple. He glanced to the middle of the floor, where six figures stood, four on horses, one in a cloak, and Lith. The vampire spoke.
"So the four have risen, I see, good for you," he said with a nonchalant tone.
"And who are you, elf?" the Unholy One piped in.
"That will be of little concern when you find who I have brought with me," he turned to the shadow mage. "Shadowcaster! Come down here!"
The shadow mage was mortified, but dared not try anything before he knew more about his companion. Gathering such information was very difficult, though. He shuffled slowly down to the others. Lith smiled as he arrived, the others seemed transfixed on the weapon he had sheathed at his side.
"This is Alivia's heir, her descendant. He's with me, and unless you want me to break that lineage, then you'll have to do something for me."
"And what is that?" the Unholy One asked as his companions remained silent. He seemed indignant and reluctant to strike a bargain, but Shadowcaster's presence had already made up his mind.
"Resurrect the vampire queen, tonight!"
