Dawn and Sventar woke with a long slow stretch and yawn, after lettin his eyes adjust he looked to his left and saw his daughter Terca sleeping soundly. He smirked to himself remembering what they had done the night before and his smirk grew as he remembered Terca telling him about her aunt and how every time she came into heat both her aunts and her mother Droch would leave and only her mother and aunt Sarth would return only to leave again in four days to fetch her other aunt. Sventar wanted to hear more but Terca was reluctent to say more so he helped her open up with a long night of powerful sex, taking his daughter again and again til she was weak kneed and more then happy to talk while they laid in bed til they both drifted off to sleep.
As Sventar dressed he thought about what Terca had said about her aunt being the mistress of chaos and how she was still untouched by any male. He then wondered why and why his mate Droch and her eldest sister took thier youngest far away to be locked away during her heat. He then remembered the half muttered words his daughter said as she fell asleep, "From chaos comes destruction." his daughters words were like a puzzle that needed solving, What did she mean and what was the secret of her aunt.
Sventar looked out the window of his bed chamber towards the setting sun as he remembered Terca tail .. "Follow the suns path til the last sight of its fire is gone, At that time speak the words of the Fola clan and the way will be open to the empire of Fola. Move to the black cliffs and into the mist you must go, there at the end you will find the keep..........
Sventar smiles slyly " Oh my dear Droch ...... I can not pass this up......I must find out .
As time passed the day came that Droch brought Terca to him to stay with him while she took care of family matters. As normal Droch spoke little and all but avoided any long contact with Sventar, She gave him a short hug and nuzzle of affection but left quickly. Sventar looked to Terca and smiled at her for she had grown much in her strength and in her beauty. Terca smiled up at her father with that sparkle of mischif he had seen before, He knew what she wanted and as much as he would like to he had other plans in mind. Sventar summoned a servent over and told them to see to Terca's needs while he was gone. Terca smile fadded as fast as a falling stone. "Father...you are leaving?" she said in a pleading tone. Sventar looked back at her as he was walking away in a hurried step. " I have something to attend to my little one, I'll be back soon" with those words he was gone leaving Terca standing there with the servent beside her. "But.........I was ......" Terca whimpered in a soft tone.
Sventar hurried to his chambers and grabed the few items he had readied and moved to the balcony and took flight, once in the air he began to look for Droch. It wasn't much later he saw her in the distance flying and keeping a very safe distance he followed her til she landed and he did so as well doing well to keep the wind in his face and move up as to see her again. He found her standing in a clearing and there he saw two others standing with Droch. Sventar had never seen them befor and as he studied them from his safe place he could see one was taller and dressed in the way a warrior would. Sventar smiled as he studied her form, powerful and sleek yet in so many ways she held that of one who would be dominate in every part of her life. He smirked and thought to himself < So this is Sar`Lotha......how very intergueing.>He studied her armor and noted how flawlessly it moved with her and was no doubt fitted to her exact needs. Sventar couldn't help but wonder how she would be in bed and his mind wondered slightly on how he would conquer her.
His eyes move from the one to the second with Droch as she came into veiw. Sventar raied a brow as looked at her, She seemed very unlike Droch and the other he looked closily and noticed she had no wings. She was smaller in build and seemed less fearsome then the others and Sventar couldn't help but wonder if this was Vorcha? The same Vorcha that Terca said was the mistress of chaos.
It was while Sventar was pondering that Sar`Lotha turned from her sisters and held her hand out in front of her and in a harsh dark language that caused the air to chill and silence fall to the area. Sventar was quick to watch and noticed that the sun had just slipped out of sight. It was only a moments breath that past before the air in front of Sar`Lotha began to glow and then a black gate seemed to open before her, She then looked back at her sisters and motioned them to enter, Droch walked through first followed by Vorcha Sar`Lotha began to enter but stopped and looked back once, her ears twitching as she listened. Sventar stayed still as the stone beside him til he saw her turn back and enter. Sventar was barely able to start to leap and the gateway closed.
Sventar roared at missing his chance but quickly smiled and remembered what he heard Sar`Lotha say that opened the gate all he had to do now was wait til tomarrows sunset and he would have his way in.
The night was cold and a lite drizzle had started as Sventar sat under a tree grumbling about the foul weather. "This had better be worth my sitting here getting wet rather then being home with Terca" he grumbled knowing that the time he would need to return home then back would be almost two days. So he sat and waited grumbling at times as his mind wandered to Terca soft flesh caresing his cock while he thrusted into her again and again. "DAMN IT!" he roared.
Slowly night became day and the day past far to slowly as far as Sventar was concerned but at long last the day was ending and he stood waiting for that moment to say the words he heard Sar`Lotha say. It was moments before that awaited time he wondered... "FUCK...how did she pronounce that was it Vaarquica or Varrkwica?" He face palmed himself and grumbled and look to the setting sun and took a deep breath as the last flame wisped from sight. At that moment he raised his hand before himself and spoke the words " Dra`ulrick Vaarquica Fola" Sventar stood there for what to him felt like a hour before he saw the thin thread of light and then the black light of the dark gate opening before him.
Sventar smiled and stepped through the opening " Far too easy" he thought to himself, it was after his eyes adjusted to the odd light within the realm that he noticed the bones and decaying bodies scattered around and then felt the sudden pull on his lifes force and how heavy he suddenly felt. He forced himself to run for all he was worth towards a light and as he leaped for the light and landed on hard dirt he looked back and saw the cave entrance he had just leaped out of. He hurried to his feet and looked around then back to the cave. " Anyone but I would have been dead within a breath from the drain of that cave" He said softly to himself and looked around again. "Now I see it is imposable to get this far for mortals they would be dead before they could move ten feet." He smirked and whispered and moved on.
Sventar walked along the aged stone road and looking about he wondered, spreading his wings he went to take flight only to only move a foot from the ground before settling back down. "WHAT kind of tricks is this?" He growled and stomped on grumbling for several hours as he walked.
The dark was gone soon and the soft glow of dawns light came to sky as Sventar walked along at times grumbling as he hated walking. His attention was soon caught as he heard voices and he quickly moved to the thick woods and took cover. He soon grumbled as he couldn't beleave he was hidding, but if it was Droch and her sister how would he explay his being here and IF Sar`Lotha attacked him.....what disavantage would he have here. He knew better that to chance a fight on the others home land for he already saw one way this land was protected. Yes better to avoid being found he thought and stayed still. Slowly he heard the voices draw closer and then he noticed they were above him. He moved slowly as they passed and looking carefully in the sky he saw Droch and her sister Sar`Lotha in flight heading towards the gate.
Sventar looked around then back to the two sisters as they got farther away "So this land favors thier family.....Very interesting" he thought to himself as he moved on following the road.
It was near the noon hour Sventar saw the black cliffs and within a hour he began to notice a mist about, and at this he stopped and waited to see if he felt as if the mist did anything to him. After a moment feeling nothing he moved into the mist and walked through it for a hour before it cleard and before him was a great plain and beyong that he could see a fortress. as he moved forward he was in awe at the massive fortress carved into the cliff stone itself. All around were signs of the past attempts to take the keep, even he was in marvel at its raw brute power standing there in a almost challanging way.
Sventar stoped as he heard a chuckle, he looked about and turned around and saw a rather small female standing between the mist and him. Looking around he saw no others and looked back at the female feline like being dressed in what looked like parts of cloaks and adorned with trinkets all about her self.
" And who are you ?" Sventar asked in a commanding tone
The small female smiled " I am she who guards the keep.......So who dares to come to the keep of the black cliffs?" she said in a soft almost playful voice.
Sventar raised a brow at this whisp of a female who seemed more a childs size then that of a guardian who had but only a twisted walking stick with bobbles on it.
In a commanding voice "I am Sventar ruler of the nine lands and destroyer of armies.....You little one as a guard have let me come between you and what you guard,..... not very smart."
The little female smiled " I am Sar`Vak Zar and its you have to get past me to escape"
Suddenly Sventar felt the ground rumble and saw what looked like raw energy flowing from the ground to the small female. He growled as he could feel her power grow.
Sventar drew his weapon and growled and charged her, not waiting to give this female a chance to have the first attack. He swung his sword in a wide powerful arc. The guardian eyes widened as the blade came at her, the hiss of it slicing through the air as it moved faint but very much there. Vak Zar only closed her eyes and Sventar was shocked as a pilar of stone burst from the ground stopping his swing with a loud CLANG!
Sventar growled from the shock that rang through his blade and charged the guardian going to get to her before she could react, onlt to have something suddenly hit him from the left side with such massive force and power it sent him flying several yards away and hitting the ground leaving a large impacked mark in the ground. Shacking his head he quickly got to his feet and roared in rage at being hit, spreading his wings he drew in as much power as he could quickly and refocused himself.
"Impressive little one, But I shall not be so easy to beat with a sucker punch!" he roared as he resumed the attack charging at her with blade readied. The guardian smiles evilly as if enjoying a truily fearsome foe.
"Perrfect!" she responed in a eager tone as she spun her walking stick then suddenly stuck the ground with the end of it and yelled. "VARCOMA EARTHA MAGMA!"
Sventar was well into his attack and his swing when the ground split open and a blast of flame and magma exploded between them making him dodge to one side then back. Sventar pulled back his sword readied for a attack as he watched the massive molten limb of a huge magma giant slam onto the ground as it roared and climbed from the earth moving to engauge Sventar. The land rumbled and the earth shook for over a hour with the battle between the guardian and Sventar each giving no ground in thier resolve to be victorious, til at long last the sounds of battle were no more.
The land between the mist and the great forttress laid upturned and in areas burning, the marks of war dotted the landscape everywhere one would look. Through the settling dust , smoke and dieing fires stood the shadow of one. The stance was haggard and tired but as he slowly flexed his one unbroken wing Sventar moved slowly toward the motionless body of the guardian and even as he panted in deep breaths tired from a battle even he had never seen the likes and power of he knelt down watching her.
In a low ragged voice "For all my battles....You have been a most worthy foe little guardian...."coughs".....I will not end your life...For even I can respect one who fights with such resolve." Slowly he stood up and took a few steps before stopping and looking back at her. "But now I am going to claim what ever you protect as MINE!" Sventar turned and headed towards the massive fortress doors and with what streangth he had left pushed the massive doors open and entered it great hall and disapeared into its darkness.
