Veranu stepped aside to allow the other leaders past, Tork squinted to make out the face of the man next in line, then he realized that he couldn't make out the features because there were none! His face was made up for a chintious material and two eyes peered from atop stalk on his head. He hand out a hand to greet Gilhams hand and as it rose, Tork realized it was no hand but a claw.
"Good day to you Gilham" said the Homarid, "I have heard much about you and looked forward to meeting you and your special friend here." He glanced down at Tork without moving his actual head but just by swivling his eye stalks. He looked up at Gilham again.
"My name is Galeous, I led the Burning Shells at the Molten Sea. Unfortunatly we were overrun and very few of us made it back here to safety."
"I am truly glad you made it alive Galeous and look forward to retaking your homeland together!" Gilham proclaimed.

Galeous hurried away, discussing some private matter with his advisors. In the meantime, a strange bug-like creature emerged from the shadows. The scorpion was bright orange and he had two excited and glittering black eyes. His stinger tail was made up of three individual sections, forming a sort of three-fingered hand on his tail.
"Hello there! I am Arazim, Chieftain of the Lava Tails." Arazim pulled back the sharp points of his tail and put it forward like a hand, which Tork nervously grasped and shook.
"The Mines of Kufai are located within the Torona Range, which has been captured by this... Zorruk. I am looking forward to thrashing his armies! For the Lava Tails!" Arazim produced a sword from a sheath on this back and waved it angrily. Behind him, his scorpion warriors gave a war cry! After this, Tork looked around expectantly. Where was the survivors from the Castle of black mana that Zorruk had taken?

As Arazim sauntered away, waving sword and tail alike with his Lava Tail warriors, a shadow shifted.... then elongated and grew in width. Slowly the the shadows took shape then began to bulge up from the floor. Suddenly, they weren't just shadows but 3 shady looking men standing before Gilham and Tork.
"Greetings." Gilham offered a hand, "My name is Gilham." The three men simply nodded their heads simultaniously at him but said nothing. The man in the middle knelt and faced Tork.
"Greeeeetings young goblin..." the man whisped out, "my name is Osolos, the leader of the Savage Shadowsss. We are ready to retake our castle at any point, I have my men all hidden within the wallsss. It would be a minor thinggg, to reclaim them." He grinned at the end of that, and Tork couldn't help but believe him.
"Perhaps, but perhaps not Osolos... I believe that Zorruk would have though of that. He wouldn't have taken your castle without that in consideration." Gilham pointed out.
"Perhaps, or perhaps that is what he wishes us to believe and is using our fear of an impending trap to keep us at bay! We must act quickly and decicively!" Gilham shook his head.
"No, I understand that you wish to reclaim your home, anyone would, however we have three other peoples displaced and I'm sure that they wish it as much as you do. You must have patience so that we can organize this properly." Osolos sighed a long sigh that sounded like a mixture of air escaping a baloon and a hissing Vaishino as he melted back into the shadows, no doubt to share secrets with his consorts.
"I don't like him." Tork muttered to Gilham, afraid of Osolos hearing from a nearby shadow. Bokwoo tittered nervously from behind him as if in agreement.
"Perhaps not, but he is our ally and we will treat him as such. I would not wish to get into an argument with that one."
"Agreed!"

"Well, there are leaders from each color of mana, right?" Widam nodded after Tork's question. "Well," the goblin continued, "who is the leader of white mana in this world? Is it Keran?"
Widam laughed. "No, my father is also a leader of black mana. Osolos, the general, is his brother, but my father is the king who rules from the castle."
Tork was astonished. "That guy is your uncle?"
"Yep. So, let me introduce you to the Head Priestess at this Temple... who happens to be my mother."
"Hello there, young Tork," came a gentle and smooth voice. "My name is Seripha, queen of the Shadow Realm and Head Priestess at the Temple of Arrune." Seripha was very beautiful, her arms glowing with light and a pair of white wings upon her back.

"Silly goblin, I live here," giggled Aeria. "Why is everyone here like this? Did something bad happen?" She tilted her head at Tork.
Again, Tork paused to consider what to say. Aeria was a very young girl, it seemed, and Tork wondered what she would do if she learned of Zorruk and his evils. He had no answer.
"Don't worry, I already know," said Aeria suddenly. "I can read your mind, you know!" She laughed again.
"Really? What else can you do?"
"Lots of things. But I'm not really sure yet. Gilham found me a long time ago, but I lost my memory. So he sent me here to live with Widam! Isn't that exciting?"
"So, you don't know what you can do or where you really came from? I don't either; Gilham said I'm a shadow goblin from around here, but I don't know about that."
"Great! You are like me! We can have fun together!" Aeria leaped ten feet into the air and clapped her hands. To her own surprise, she hovered there, gravity temporarily failing.
"Hey, you've found another thing you can do!" Tork exclaimed.
"Floating in the air?"
Newly Found Flight
Enchantment- Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has flying as long as it is blue. A feat of the sky that the light has embraced as its own.
"Wheeeeeeee!!!" Exclaimed Aeria as she swooped above Torks head for about the 6th time since she had gotten the hang of the flying.... and Tork still ducked instictively, which caused the usual stream of giggles from Aeria. Bokwoo chirruped and snapped his beak playfully at Aeria and fluttered in the air. Aeria screeched and ducked away. Gilham shook his head disbelievingly.
"This is amazing... I knew she was special but.... nothing like this!" Widam nodded, mouth half open in surprise. Aeria, followed by Bokwoo, who was just happy to have someone to fly with, soared out of a high arch and out into the open air outside.
"So what's Aeria's story anyways? Where did you find her?" Tork questioned.
Widam smiled,
"She was found in the shadow realm, it's where we," she indicated the Savage Shadows corner, which was so dark that you could have sworn there was a hold into space in the corner of the room, " go when we meld with the shadows. Since I've raised her, shes shown no further powers allowing her to travel there. She had no recolection of how she got there or who she was or where she was from. SHe showed so Magical powers before this but nothing so powerful... or lasting."
"Mmhmmm, thats true, lighting small fires mostly, candels and the such. Definietly not flying and definietly not staying there." Gilham added.
"Weird..." added Tork.
Suddenly there was a shriek from outside and Aeria came soaring back in with Bokwoo quickly closing behind her, now flying full out. Bokwoo over took her and hooked his neck between her legs and tossed her onto his back, then landed infront of Tork Gilham and Widam with a skidding scrambling stop. Stared at them with apparent panic in his eyes and squacked
"BOK!!!!" Aeria slipped off his back and ran to Widam.
"Widsy! There are mean black flying things outside! Make em go away!"
"You mean like... crows right?" Tork asked hopefully. Aeria burried her head in Widams side and shook her head.
"No." Suddenly, one of the windows into the stronghold burst inwards and a black shape flew through in the outwards explosion of glass. It swooped downwards towards the conglomerate of refugees from the 4 cities. Gilhams eyes widened.
"Gargoyles! Everyone to arms!" He reached out his arms and pointed at the Gargoyle and muttered some arcane words and suddenly the Gargoyel melted from stone to mud and splashed all over the Homarids who chortled and laughed, enjoying the dampness as they rushed to collect their weapons.
"TOO ARMS!"

Suddenly, Zorruk's forces surged toward the Temple from all directions. Tork watched as the evil lord's troops gathered on the twilit plains outside and marched forward.
Tork stood upon a great wall around the Temple with the other longrange spellcasters, while the soldiers moved to meet the enemy directly. Arazim and his Lava Tails rushed out, the first to meet the enemy. With their tails lifted high, the Scorpions stabbed fiery hot stingers into the Zorruk's front line. The armored humans screamed as the tails struck them.

Suddenly, breaking forth from the lines of Zorruk's forces, came a giant figure. It was unclear whether or not it had legs, arms, or even a head. What was clear, however, was that it was a dangerous beast.
"A Zor-teri! Everyone, be on guard!" Shouted Gilham.
The Zor-teri uttered a chilling howl, then, with startling speed for an entity so large, crashed into the Lava Tail lines, sending dozens of scorpion men flying.

According to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle, Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order, because it is better organized. -- Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times
"My plans are ALWAYS practical! It's the laws of physics that get in the way of my success." Red Mage, 8-Bit Theater.

To the horror of those watching, dozens more of the ferocious Zor-teri emerged from the army of Zorruk. By this time, the Lava Tails had been joined by the warriors of the Crystal Snake Order as well as the elite soldiers from the Temple of Arrune. All had fought valiantly, but the screeching roars of the Zor-teri tore deep into their minds and suddenly fear crept over them.
Panic soon spread, and many soldiers except the most discipline began to retreat. Arazim and Veranu shouted orders, only to be ignored by their followers. Desperate, the leaders turned to the sky... and there was hope once more.
Seripha, Queen of the Realm, flew above their heads, releasing a golden light to the warriors below. Inspired, the soldiers below began to turn back the tide....
Seripha's Call :1mana::symw::symw:

The battle under the guidance and inspiration of Seripha, was quickly won. However the battle was not won without a price.
Many had died and many more injured. The forces of the 5 cities were vastly unmanned. Gilham shook his head in the war room.
"No, we simply do not have the forces any longer, we lost our advantage of surprise! Zorruk knows we've banded together once again. He also knows he can beat us. The force that came against us there was simply a large scouting party! There will be three times that at each city. We don't even have half of that amount left battleready!" Arazim hissed and snapped his head around to bear on Gilham,
"1 Lava Tail is worth 10 of their pettyyy, troopsss! We will not sssstand them tarnissshing our homessss!!!" As Arazim finished the other 3 leader burst into similar rants, all lobbying to be loudest and heard. Gilham hung his head and looked defeated. Then he snapped it upright and slammed his fist into the table, making it jump with strength that bellied his physical appearance.
"We WILL NOT leave your homes to be overrun with Zorruk's filth! No! We will not allow Zorruk to rule over all of use and make us his slaves and most of all, we will not let this world fall into ruin and disrepair! We will find troops and we will retake all that belongs to us!" A roar came up from the other 3 leaders. Osolos remained quiet, but a sly grin rippled across his inconsistent face. Tork even felt himself pulled up into it.
"How do you propose we aquire these troops Gilham?" asked the smooth voice of Seripha from the opposite end of the table. Gilham just grinned,
"We call in a few extra favours."

"Gilham, wait! Where are you going? We need you here!" exclaimed Widam. "You can't leave!"
"I must return to the world of light, Widam!" countered Gilham. "I can only hope my home dimension has not also fallen to Zorruk.... I will try to bring back the reinforcements as quickly as possible!"
Widam nodded. "Here. Here is the portal! I'll see you later, Gilham, Tork!" With a flash, she vanished into the shadows once more.
"Let us go now, Tork," said Gilham, activating the portal. Tork nodded, stepping into the rippling dimensional barrier. Gilham followed suit. A nervous Bokwoo came last.
"Headmaster, you've returned!" cried a voice as Gilham stepped from the portal on the other end. A student's voice.
"Ah, Koreal! How are you?" Gilham asked his student. "Has anything happened while I was gone?"
"Much, Headmaster. That man that you told me about, Zorruk, his forces are here already! We've managed to fight them off, but..." Koreal looking down in shame. "They will be returning soon."
"It.. is as I feared then," realized Gilham. "If we can get reinforcements from some of the other nations around here, we might have enough to fight off Zorruk."
"Tork!" Gilham called. "We are going to the Southern Lands of Caldira! There, we will meet the ancient tribe of elves, who may assist us in our quest!"
"Good idea, Headmaster!" interrupted Koreal. "If you reach Teranon, Shrine to the Ancients, the Elves there will help you!"
Teranon, Shrine to the Ancients
Legendary Land
:symtap:: Add :symg::symg: to your mana pool. This mana may only be used to pay for Elf spells.
"Hold on a minute Gilham... I may have an idea! I accept your idea to go to Teranon, however, I may be useful elsewhere." Gilham cocked his head and stared down puzzedly at the small goblin.
"This is an academy of magic right?" Gilham nodded.
"Temporal and Elemental magics but yes."
"Excellent, can anyone here open up a teleport like Widam?"
Gilham nodded slowly
"Yes, but only professors Horuk and Balloc.... are they still alive Koreal?"
The student shook his head.
"Balloc fell pushing back the wave of troops, and Horuk is just barely clinging to life after taking a spear to the chest. He may have enough energy to send you somewhere, but not enough to get you back again."
"Hmm, that may have to do, I'll find my own way back." Gilham raised an eyebrow,
"What do you plan to do?"
"Like you said sir, call in some favors... now I need a teleport to my home village... and some elaborate robes, they need not be my size, simply elaborate." Gilham, nodded slowly. Catching on to what he was planning,
"Yes, that could work... quickly now Koreal, fetch me my graduation robes and meet me in the infirmary.... which is where Horuk is correct?" The student just nodded, completly dumbfounded. "Good, now make haste.... GO!" Koreal spun on his heel and booked it down the hallway. "Good, now follow me Tork."
The two sprinted down the hallway, Tork struggling to keep up until Bokwoo slid his head between Torks knees and flipped him onto his back with a 'squark'. They skidded into the infirmary and Gilham rushed to the injured instrutors side and began to whisper urgently into his ear. He stood straight and nodded as Koreal sprinted into the room with a long flowing red wizards robes with gold spirals stitched into them. Tork shrugged them on, and stepped forward. Gilham gestured to the mage in the bed who weakly raised his arms into the air and wove them in complex patterns while muttering softly. All of a sudden a magical doorway opened infront of him. The man on the bed had sweat streaming down his face.
"GO! Quickly Tork! and make all haste back!"
Tork stepped towards it and it rippled like a wave and contorted and he paused.
"GO!" Gilham shouted as he pushed Tork through the mirror and out into the middle of his home village camp, the last thing he heard was Bokwoo's questioning chirrup as the portal closed behind him. Tork stood and brushed sand off his new cloak and looked around. There to greet him where 15 goblins armed with crude spears and all aimed directly at him. Tork cleared his throat, pushed the man he probably just killed and Bokwoo and Gilham from his mind and prepared for the most difficult performance, he'd ever make.

"I, GHORUUSH, REQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE," announced Tork, hoping that they would help.
"What is require?" muttered a goblin. Another wondered aloud what in the world "assistance" meant.
Tork sighed inwardly and shouted to the crowd, "NEED HELP!" Perhaps those were simpler terms? He moved stiffly; the robes was massive, far too large for a goblin. These were Gilham's clothes?
"Ghorush!" cried a chieftain goblin, raising his makeshift sword. "We will help! No more killing!"
Tork grinned. He had only killed one and it was only be accident. Well, at least it proved his point. He bellowed, "I WILL TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE FOR YOU TO FIGHT THERE!"
A great cheer burst from the goblins. There had never been a big fight for at least two years and Tork decided to put this to good use. Behind, him the portal opened according to plan. Stepping backward, he entered the portal, followed by hordes of goblins.
"Good afternoon, goblins!" announced Gilham, as the crowds of rowdy goblins appeared on the lawn. "In a couple of minutes, people wearing all black will come hear. Kill as many as possible!" He winked at Tork.
"Look! There!" screamed a goblin. "Here they are coming!" An medium-sized ship approached the shore of the island and several of Zorruk's men charged toward them. "Attack!" shouted the goblins and Zorruk's men were enveloped by a horde of green goblins.

Once the transports were empty and there was nothing left to kill, pillage or eat on the transports, the goblins returned outside to prostrate themselves before their new 'god'.
YOU HAVE DONE WELL MY GREEN BRETHER....BROTHERS" he corrected as he saw some confused faces at the mention of 'bretheren'.
"HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT DONE! THERE ARE MORE TO KILL, BUT YOU MUST BE PATIE... YOU MUST WAIT, WE HAVE OTHERS WE MUST GET FIRST BEFORE WE GO TO WAR!!!" the goblin tribes gibbered amongst eachother, excitied at the prospect of more killing. Tork sighed and stumbled into the academy followed by Gilham.
"Hmm, well done my green friend. That was admirably done. However, I do believe we may have a problem..." Tork grunted and glanced at him,
"I do not believe the elves of Teranon will fight alongside goblins, should we want to use both of their forces, we will need to keep them separate through out the battle." Tork nodded,
"Yes, of course you're right. However we should head there immediatly to collect them."
"Agreed.... oh and how did you manage to get another portal to open?"
"Oh right... yes well I dug into some of my old things and found this wand of Teleportation, I was surprised it even had any juice left in it."
"Well, you were right on time and I"m sure glad I didn't have to find my own way back." Tork grinned.
"As am I."

"Hello Gilham," greeted a slender elf as Gilham and Tork stepped from the portal. "I have not seen you for many years! What is going on in the outside of the forest?"
"Leron," Gilham began, "a powerful being called Zorruk has called up an army to advance upon the world. I require your assistance."
Leron was stunned. "Zorruk? THE Zorruk, spoken of in many legends of Elvish lore?! He.. has returned, just as the stories foretell!"
"Yes, the very same. What other information do you have about him, Leron?" Gilham inquired.
Leron fingered his Elven bow absently. "Zorruk... Not much is truly known, but millenia ago, he ruled over much of a realm called The Shadow Realm. Multiple invasions of our world he attempted and nearly succeeded."
Leron continued his recount of the legend, "At the moment of his defeat, he activated an ancient artifact and the world was devestated. After that, knowledge of Zorruk and the Shadow Realm was lost..."

"Excellent, I will come with you and aid your mages in opening a portal in the correct location," he turned to face Tork, "here, take this and lead the armies here to the castle, then on to the land of the Homarids, I will meet you there." Tork nodded grinned.
"See you there." Gilham nodded with a grin.
"Farewell my good friend. We will defeat him together. Tell Widam what we've planned she'll know what to do." And with that, he stepped backwards into the portal, followed by Leron. Gilham watched the portal seal itself behind him and allowed himself a slight moment of worry to break through then banished it and concentrated on the goal ahead of him.

"Widam, I've returned with some aid!" Tork cried, the portal glowing behind him. "My old tribe!"
The shadow princess was impressed. "Really? Where's Gilham?"
"He's helping the elves in our world. He's going to meet up with us at the Molten Sea, land of the Homarids!"
"That's right? Well, let's get going then! The Homarids will be glad to know what we are doing!"
Suddenly, the portal shimmered again and the goblins rushed through. Tork told them, "WE MUST GO SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY TO DEFEAT MORE OF THOSE GUYS!" More cheering ensured. Tork turned to Widam and said, "Get the Homarids and some other troops. We're going to the Molten Sea now!"
"The Molten Sea, eh?" interrupted Galeous, leader of the Homarids. "We will show the way to Azuir, Island of the Shells!"

Widam went to the head of the room where the refugees where being held and cleared her throat... loudly. Magically if Tork was right.
"Friends and comrades, I come to you with good news, we have found reinforcments and can begin the retaking of our homelands!" A great cheer went up from the assembly of nations. "We will head first to The Molten Sea and take Azuir, back with our comrades beside us and..." Widam trailed off as the air infront of her seemed to boil and twist. Blackness filled the swirls infront of her then solidified into a man, Osolos to be exact.
"I told you and Gilham that we were prepared and ready to retake our castle! My men are in position and ready! We can take my castle and demoralize the enemies troops and get my men as reinforcements all at the same time! Why would you not take this opportunity!?" Widam leaned in closer to him, noses almost touching,
"And if you remember both Gilham and I told you that chances are good it's a trap! Zorruk isn't stupid Osolos, and I'm not willing to risk our entire war effort on one battle. We will speak more of this later!" She swiped an arm at him and he dissipated in a cloud of blacksmoke that creapt into the nearest shadow.
"Regardless," Widam continued, ignoring Osolos interuption completely, "We will march to the Molten Sea, and Gilham will meet us there with the elves and Tork will lead a column of goblins into the fray as well. Prepare yourselves to leave immediately!" The assembly cheered and then rushed for their equipment as Widam stepped out of the room. Tork was there waiting for her.
"ME! Lead a column!?" Widam cocked her head at him and shook it.
"Of course little goblin, who else would lead the goblins but their god?" she asked teasingly and patted him on the shoulder as she passed. "Good luck General." Tork just sighed and smacked his head into the palm of his hand.
"How did I get myself into this?" He asked himself. The only answer he got was Bokwoo coming up and rubbing his plumed head against Torks back... and that gave Tork an idea...

Sorry about the double post, but I'm going to try to ressurect this thread. I miss it :'(...
*********Story**********
After a weeks worth of marching, and minor squabbles amongst the goblin tribes, the amassed troops arrived at the outskits of the land of the Molten Sea. The armies marched through the remenants of the land that had once been covered in small villages and towns. The Homairds stopped to mourn the loss of the people they had sworn to protect. Eventually, they arrived on the shores of the Molten Sea. The water that once shone red because of the red coral reefs beneath it now was blanketed in black.
Widam stolled up the water and dipped her finger in. Holding it up to her face she turned it from side to side.
"Oil..." she muttered. Tork manuevered Bokwoo up next to her, now quite adept at steering the unruley bird.
"Where are they?" Tork asked, and Widam turned to face him,
"I dont know... they should be here..." Bokwoo chirruped and backup from the sea. A murmur rustled through the troops. A ripple ran across the surface of the water and Widam scampered back to where the troops stood.
"Men! Women! Stand your ground!"
Tork glanced around... there was no sign of Gilham and the elves.
All of a sudden a huge head reared out of the water in front of them, followed by two more, they screeched horrible cries and hauled themselves back onto the land and beganto worm their way towards the troops.
"Sludge worms!!! Don't let them touch you! ARCHERS! AIM FOR THEIR EYES!" Widam screamed as troops scrambled to bring weapons to bear.

Hey, it wasn't dead! I just was trying to find time to revive it! Oh great, I wanted to post the next part...
********
Suddenly, a great wooden ship roared out of the horizon. Startled, the sludge wurms turned to observe the new threats, and then returned their focus onto Widam's soldiers and the goblins.
Hordes of elves crowded on the ship and two figures stepped forward: Leron the elf and his friend Gilham. "Elf archers!" roared Gilham. He was about to order them to fire upon the wurms, when a horrific roar ripped across the sky. Glancing upward, Gilham gasped. "Corrupted drakes! Shoot them down!"
The flapping of massive wings could be heard coming from giant black drakes that loomed overhead. Gaping maws opened, shooting out heavy bursts of fire. "Fire!" screamed Leron.
And fire they did. A great volley of arrows blasted into the sky and from the shore, Tork could've sworn that the arrows blotted out the sun entirely. The drakes were then shreded to bits by the power of the elven arrows.
Volley of the Elves :4mana::symg::symg:

Destroy all creatures with flying. They can't be regenerated. "Creatures of sky, beware."
While the sludge wurms watched the drakes get shot out of the air, the goblins attacked them. Horde after horde charged blindly into the fray, each taking down a wurm. For hours the war cries of the goblins echoed down the beaches of the Molten Sea. With each cry a new horde sacrificed itself to bring down another wurm. Eventually, the shrieks of pain of the wurms began to outnumber the cries of the goblins as more and more wurms fell to the mob.
As the last of the wurms collapsed on the beach Zorruk's forces made landfall.
Within minutes they too were overrun by goblins. However, this time the other forces also attacked the men. The beach rang with the clash of blades as over the hours the fighting continued. Soon, the sea was once again a deep red, this time with blood. Slowly but surely Zorruk's men began to win the battle. Another ship had boarded Gilham's ship and were holding the elves off as more and more vessels disgorged their loads of men onto the beach. The defenders were too busy staying alive to notice the men sneaking up behind them.
With a cry of "For Zorruk" the men attacked the defenders on all sides. Fortified armor gave way like paper under the torrential downpour of blades. Elves, goblins, wizards, shadows, soldiers and snakes all fell by the hundreds. Tork was surrounded by 50 men and only through the power of Gilham's cloak was he able to survive.
Somewhere off to the side the Homarids and scorpions were conversing...
"Maybe we should summon it?" Galeous said.
"No, it is too dangerous, we can't control it." replied Arazim.
"But it could be our only chance at victory."
"No, maybe we can still win."
At this one of the homarids gestured toward the slaughter occurring on the beach.
"On second thought, we probably should summon it." Azarim amended.
The scorpions and homarids began chanting an ancient incantation.
Back on the beach things were looking grim. Zorruk's men now had the defenders surrounded and were kiling them off slowly. Tork was being lead up next to be sacrificed.
Suddenly, a great behemoth burst from the waters, its crustacean body glistening in the sun. It let out a fearsome cry and lunged toward the beach. At the sound of its cry the men fell screaming in agony to the ground. So did many of the elves, goblins, scorpions, homarids, snakes, wizards, soldiers and shadows. The molten Kufai Leviathan had arrived.

The Kufai Leviathan immediately rampaged across the battlefield, blasting any movement with a concentrated fire blast. Many on both sides fell to its might.
Galeous cried, "Arazim, you fool! You forgot to add the control magic clause!"
"What?" roared Arazim. "You're the one that forgot! I don't know control magic!"
Galeous sighed heavily. "Very well, let's do it now then!" The group of scorpions and homarids began to create the enchantment...

As the final magical word was spoken, the Leviathan stopped what it was doing, which happened to be ripping apart a viashino. It turned it head, shook it (spraying blood everywhere) and then turned and rolled over the enemy. Hundreds of men were either eaten or crushed beneath it's mass. There was noone left to fight within a few moments. The Leviathan roared and then slowly faded away with the wind.

Under the control of Galeous, the Leviathan had devestated the enemy. Now, the great beast had vanished beneath the sea once more. Corpses littered the beach and ships. The various races continued to weed out remaining soldiers from Zorruk's army, but for the most part, the battle had been won.
The leaders gathered to discuss the next move. Galeous was adamant in sailing to the capital of his land and retaking it, but the more conservative Gilham wanted to wait for the wounded to heal and gain reinforcements from the various pockets of Homarid resistance against Zorruk. This was agreed to, so a temporary camp was set up to heal the the wounded.

Tork wove his way through the goblin section of the Healing Camp. The other soldiers had refused to lie next to the rowdy and smelly goblins. Tork tried to look aloof as a god should, but he found it hard when he saw so many of his kin injured, some mortally so, they just hadn't realized it yet. He gave reasurrance and his "blessing" where it was needed. Truely the battle had come at a steep cost, the only group to come out relatively unscathed were the elves, who had arrived after the battle had started. Tork felt a wave of despair wash over him.
This was the first of many battles and already their troops were greatly diminished, how could they keep this up? How could they possibly win???

Veranu stepped aside to allow the other leaders past, Tork squinted to make out the face of the man next in line, then he realized that he couldn't make out the features because there were none! His face was made up for a chintious material and two eyes peered from atop stalk on his head. He hand out a hand to greet Gilhams hand and as it rose, Tork realized it was no hand but a claw.
"Good day to you Gilham" said the Homarid, "I have heard much about you and looked forward to meeting you and your special friend here." He glanced down at Tork without moving his actual head but just by swivling his eye stalks. He looked up at Gilham again.
"My name is Galeous, I led the Burning Shells at the Molten Sea. Unfortunatly we were overrun and very few of us made it back here to safety."
"I am truly glad you made it alive Galeous and look forward to retaking your homeland together!" Gilham proclaimed.

"Hello there! I am Arazim, Chieftain of the Lava Tails." Arazim pulled back the sharp points of his tail and put it forward like a hand, which Tork nervously grasped and shook.
"The Mines of Kufai are located within the Torona Range, which has been captured by this... Zorruk. I am looking forward to thrashing his armies! For the Lava Tails!" Arazim produced a sword from a sheath on this back and waved it angrily. Behind him, his scorpion warriors gave a war cry! After this, Tork looked around expectantly. Where was the survivors from the Castle of black mana that Zorruk had taken?

"Greetings." Gilham offered a hand, "My name is Gilham." The three men simply nodded their heads simultaniously at him but said nothing. The man in the middle knelt and faced Tork.
"Greeeeetings young goblin..." the man whisped out, "my name is Osolos, the leader of the Savage Shadowsss. We are ready to retake our castle at any point, I have my men all hidden within the wallsss. It would be a minor thinggg, to reclaim them." He grinned at the end of that, and Tork couldn't help but believe him.
"Perhaps, but perhaps not Osolos... I believe that Zorruk would have though of that. He wouldn't have taken your castle without that in consideration." Gilham pointed out.
"Perhaps, or perhaps that is what he wishes us to believe and is using our fear of an impending trap to keep us at bay! We must act quickly and decicively!" Gilham shook his head.
"No, I understand that you wish to reclaim your home, anyone would, however we have three other peoples displaced and I'm sure that they wish it as much as you do. You must have patience so that we can organize this properly." Osolos sighed a long sigh that sounded like a mixture of air escaping a baloon and a hissing Vaishino as he melted back into the shadows, no doubt to share secrets with his consorts.
"I don't like him." Tork muttered to Gilham, afraid of Osolos hearing from a nearby shadow. Bokwoo tittered nervously from behind him as if in agreement.
"Perhaps not, but he is our ally and we will treat him as such. I would not wish to get into an argument with that one."
"Agreed!"

"You already did. Of course," said the princess.
"Well, there are leaders from each color of mana, right?" Widam nodded after Tork's question. "Well," the goblin continued, "who is the leader of white mana in this world? Is it Keran?"
Widam laughed. "No, my father is also a leader of black mana. Osolos, the general, is his brother, but my father is the king who rules from the castle."
Tork was astonished. "That guy is your uncle?"
"Yep. So, let me introduce you to the Head Priestess at this Temple... who happens to be my mother."
"Hello there, young Tork," came a gentle and smooth voice. "My name is Seripha, queen of the Shadow Realm and Head Priestess at the Temple of Arrune." Seripha was very beautiful, her arms glowing with light and a pair of white wings upon her back.

"Silly goblin, I live here," giggled Aeria. "Why is everyone here like this? Did something bad happen?" She tilted her head at Tork.
Again, Tork paused to consider what to say. Aeria was a very young girl, it seemed, and Tork wondered what she would do if she learned of Zorruk and his evils. He had no answer.
"Don't worry, I already know," said Aeria suddenly. "I can read your mind, you know!" She laughed again.
"Really? What else can you do?"
"Lots of things. But I'm not really sure yet. Gilham found me a long time ago, but I lost my memory. So he sent me here to live with Widam! Isn't that exciting?"
"So, you don't know what you can do or where you really came from? I don't either; Gilham said I'm a shadow goblin from around here, but I don't know about that."
"Great! You are like me! We can have fun together!" Aeria leaped ten feet into the air and clapped her hands. To her own surprise, she hovered there, gravity temporarily failing.
"Hey, you've found another thing you can do!" Tork exclaimed.

"This is amazing... I knew she was special but.... nothing like this!" Widam nodded, mouth half open in surprise. Aeria, followed by Bokwoo, who was just happy to have someone to fly with, soared out of a high arch and out into the open air outside.
"So what's Aeria's story anyways? Where did you find her?" Tork questioned.
Widam smiled,
"She was found in the shadow realm, it's where we," she indicated the Savage Shadows corner, which was so dark that you could have sworn there was a hold into space in the corner of the room, " go when we meld with the shadows. Since I've raised her, shes shown no further powers allowing her to travel there. She had no recolection of how she got there or who she was or where she was from. SHe showed so Magical powers before this but nothing so powerful... or lasting."
"Mmhmmm, thats true, lighting small fires mostly, candels and the such. Definietly not flying and definietly not staying there." Gilham added.
"Weird..." added Tork.
Suddenly there was a shriek from outside and Aeria came soaring back in with Bokwoo quickly closing behind her, now flying full out. Bokwoo over took her and hooked his neck between her legs and tossed her onto his back, then landed infront of Tork Gilham and Widam with a skidding scrambling stop. Stared at them with apparent panic in his eyes and squacked
"BOK!!!!" Aeria slipped off his back and ran to Widam.
"Widsy! There are mean black flying things outside! Make em go away!"
"You mean like... crows right?" Tork asked hopefully. Aeria burried her head in Widams side and shook her head.
"No." Suddenly, one of the windows into the stronghold burst inwards and a black shape flew through in the outwards explosion of glass. It swooped downwards towards the conglomerate of refugees from the 4 cities. Gilhams eyes widened.
"Gargoyles! Everyone to arms!" He reached out his arms and pointed at the Gargoyle and muttered some arcane words and suddenly the Gargoyel melted from stone to mud and splashed all over the Homarids who chortled and laughed, enjoying the dampness as they rushed to collect their weapons.

Tork stood upon a great wall around the Temple with the other longrange spellcasters, while the soldiers moved to meet the enemy directly. Arazim and his Lava Tails rushed out, the first to meet the enemy. With their tails lifted high, the Scorpions stabbed fiery hot stingers into the Zorruk's front line. The armored humans screamed as the tails struck them.

Many had died and many more injured. The forces of the 5 cities were vastly unmanned. Gilham shook his head in the war room.
"No, we simply do not have the forces any longer, we lost our advantage of surprise! Zorruk knows we've banded together once again. He also knows he can beat us. The force that came against us there was simply a large scouting party! There will be three times that at each city. We don't even have half of that amount left battleready!" Arazim hissed and snapped his head around to bear on Gilham,
"1 Lava Tail is worth 10 of their pettyyy, troopsss! We will not sssstand them tarnissshing our homessss!!!" As Arazim finished the other 3 leader burst into similar rants, all lobbying to be loudest and heard. Gilham hung his head and looked defeated. Then he snapped it upright and slammed his fist into the table, making it jump with strength that bellied his physical appearance.
"We WILL NOT leave your homes to be overrun with Zorruk's filth! No! We will not allow Zorruk to rule over all of use and make us his slaves and most of all, we will not let this world fall into ruin and disrepair! We will find troops and we will retake all that belongs to us!" A roar came up from the other 3 leaders. Osolos remained quiet, but a sly grin rippled across his inconsistent face. Tork even felt himself pulled up into it.
"How do you propose we aquire these troops Gilham?" asked the smooth voice of Seripha from the opposite end of the table. Gilham just grinned,
"We call in a few extra favours."

"I must return to the world of light, Widam!" countered Gilham. "I can only hope my home dimension has not also fallen to Zorruk.... I will try to bring back the reinforcements as quickly as possible!"
Widam nodded. "Here. Here is the portal! I'll see you later, Gilham, Tork!" With a flash, she vanished into the shadows once more.
"Let us go now, Tork," said Gilham, activating the portal. Tork nodded, stepping into the rippling dimensional barrier. Gilham followed suit. A nervous Bokwoo came last.
"Headmaster, you've returned!" cried a voice as Gilham stepped from the portal on the other end. A student's voice.
"Ah, Koreal! How are you?" Gilham asked his student. "Has anything happened while I was gone?"
"Much, Headmaster. That man that you told me about, Zorruk, his forces are here already! We've managed to fight them off, but..." Koreal looking down in shame. "They will be returning soon."
"It.. is as I feared then," realized Gilham. "If we can get reinforcements from some of the other nations around here, we might have enough to fight off Zorruk."
"Tork!" Gilham called. "We are going to the Southern Lands of Caldira! There, we will meet the ancient tribe of elves, who may assist us in our quest!"
"Good idea, Headmaster!" interrupted Koreal. "If you reach Teranon, Shrine to the Ancients, the Elves there will help you!"

"This is an academy of magic right?" Gilham nodded.
"Temporal and Elemental magics but yes."
"Excellent, can anyone here open up a teleport like Widam?"
Gilham nodded slowly
"Yes, but only professors Horuk and Balloc.... are they still alive Koreal?"
The student shook his head.
"Balloc fell pushing back the wave of troops, and Horuk is just barely clinging to life after taking a spear to the chest. He may have enough energy to send you somewhere, but not enough to get you back again."
"Hmm, that may have to do, I'll find my own way back." Gilham raised an eyebrow,
"What do you plan to do?"
"Like you said sir, call in some favors... now I need a teleport to my home village... and some elaborate robes, they need not be my size, simply elaborate." Gilham, nodded slowly. Catching on to what he was planning,
"Yes, that could work... quickly now Koreal, fetch me my graduation robes and meet me in the infirmary.... which is where Horuk is correct?" The student just nodded, completly dumbfounded. "Good, now make haste.... GO!" Koreal spun on his heel and booked it down the hallway. "Good, now follow me Tork."
The two sprinted down the hallway, Tork struggling to keep up until Bokwoo slid his head between Torks knees and flipped him onto his back with a 'squark'. They skidded into the infirmary and Gilham rushed to the injured instrutors side and began to whisper urgently into his ear. He stood straight and nodded as Koreal sprinted into the room with a long flowing red wizards robes with gold spirals stitched into them. Tork shrugged them on, and stepped forward. Gilham gestured to the mage in the bed who weakly raised his arms into the air and wove them in complex patterns while muttering softly. All of a sudden a magical doorway opened infront of him. The man on the bed had sweat streaming down his face.
"GO! Quickly Tork! and make all haste back!"
Tork stepped towards it and it rippled like a wave and contorted and he paused.
"GO!" Gilham shouted as he pushed Tork through the mirror and out into the middle of his home village camp, the last thing he heard was Bokwoo's questioning chirrup as the portal closed behind him. Tork stood and brushed sand off his new cloak and looked around. There to greet him where 15 goblins armed with crude spears and all aimed directly at him. Tork cleared his throat, pushed the man he probably just killed and Bokwoo and Gilham from his mind and prepared for the most difficult performance, he'd ever make.

"What is require?" muttered a goblin. Another wondered aloud what in the world "assistance" meant.
Tork sighed inwardly and shouted to the crowd, "NEED HELP!" Perhaps those were simpler terms? He moved stiffly; the robes was massive, far too large for a goblin. These were Gilham's clothes?
"Ghorush!" cried a chieftain goblin, raising his makeshift sword. "We will help! No more killing!"
Tork grinned. He had only killed one and it was only be accident. Well, at least it proved his point. He bellowed, "I WILL TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE FOR YOU TO FIGHT THERE!"
A great cheer burst from the goblins. There had never been a big fight for at least two years and Tork decided to put this to good use. Behind, him the portal opened according to plan. Stepping backward, he entered the portal, followed by hordes of goblins.
"Good afternoon, goblins!" announced Gilham, as the crowds of rowdy goblins appeared on the lawn. "In a couple of minutes, people wearing all black will come hear. Kill as many as possible!" He winked at Tork.
"Look! There!" screamed a goblin. "Here they are coming!" An medium-sized ship approached the shore of the island and several of Zorruk's men charged toward them. "Attack!" shouted the goblins and Zorruk's men were enveloped by a horde of green goblins.

"HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT DONE! THERE ARE MORE TO KILL, BUT YOU MUST BE PATIE... YOU MUST WAIT, WE HAVE OTHERS WE MUST GET FIRST BEFORE WE GO TO WAR!!!" the goblin tribes gibbered amongst eachother, excitied at the prospect of more killing. Tork sighed and stumbled into the academy followed by Gilham.
"Hmm, well done my green friend. That was admirably done. However, I do believe we may have a problem..." Tork grunted and glanced at him,
"I do not believe the elves of Teranon will fight alongside goblins, should we want to use both of their forces, we will need to keep them separate through out the battle." Tork nodded,
"Yes, of course you're right. However we should head there immediatly to collect them."
"Agreed.... oh and how did you manage to get another portal to open?"
"Oh right... yes well I dug into some of my old things and found this wand of Teleportation, I was surprised it even had any juice left in it."

"Leron," Gilham began, "a powerful being called Zorruk has called up an army to advance upon the world. I require your assistance."
Leron was stunned. "Zorruk? THE Zorruk, spoken of in many legends of Elvish lore?! He.. has returned, just as the stories foretell!"
"Yes, the very same. What other information do you have about him, Leron?" Gilham inquired.
Leron fingered his Elven bow absently. "Zorruk... Not much is truly known, but millenia ago, he ruled over much of a realm called The Shadow Realm. Multiple invasions of our world he attempted and nearly succeeded."
Leron continued his recount of the legend, "At the moment of his defeat, he activated an ancient artifact and the world was devestated. After that, knowledge of Zorruk and the Shadow Realm was lost..."

"Excellent, I will come with you and aid your mages in opening a portal in the correct location," he turned to face Tork, "here, take this and lead the armies here to the castle, then on to the land of the Homarids, I will meet you there." Tork nodded grinned.
"See you there." Gilham nodded with a grin.
"Farewell my good friend. We will defeat him together. Tell Widam what we've planned she'll know what to do." And with that, he stepped backwards into the portal, followed by Leron. Gilham watched the portal seal itself behind him and allowed himself a slight moment of worry to break through then banished it and concentrated on the goal ahead of him.

"Widam, I've returned with some aid!" Tork cried, the portal glowing behind him. "My old tribe!"
The shadow princess was impressed. "Really? Where's Gilham?"
"He's helping the elves in our world. He's going to meet up with us at the Molten Sea, land of the Homarids!"
"That's right? Well, let's get going then! The Homarids will be glad to know what we are doing!"
Suddenly, the portal shimmered again and the goblins rushed through. Tork told them, "WE MUST GO SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY TO DEFEAT MORE OF THOSE GUYS!" More cheering ensured. Tork turned to Widam and said, "Get the Homarids and some other troops. We're going to the Molten Sea now!"
"The Molten Sea, eh?" interrupted Galeous, leader of the Homarids. "We will show the way to Azuir, Island of the Shells!"

"Friends and comrades, I come to you with good news, we have found reinforcments and can begin the retaking of our homelands!" A great cheer went up from the assembly of nations. "We will head first to The Molten Sea and take Azuir, back with our comrades beside us and..." Widam trailed off as the air infront of her seemed to boil and twist. Blackness filled the swirls infront of her then solidified into a man, Osolos to be exact.
"I told you and Gilham that we were prepared and ready to retake our castle! My men are in position and ready! We can take my castle and demoralize the enemies troops and get my men as reinforcements all at the same time! Why would you not take this opportunity!?" Widam leaned in closer to him, noses almost touching,
"And if you remember both Gilham and I told you that chances are good it's a trap! Zorruk isn't stupid Osolos, and I'm not willing to risk our entire war effort on one battle. We will speak more of this later!" She swiped an arm at him and he dissipated in a cloud of blacksmoke that creapt into the nearest shadow.
"Regardless," Widam continued, ignoring Osolos interuption completely, "We will march to the Molten Sea, and Gilham will meet us there with the elves and Tork will lead a column of goblins into the fray as well. Prepare yourselves to leave immediately!" The assembly cheered and then rushed for their equipment as Widam stepped out of the room. Tork was there waiting for her.
"ME! Lead a column!?" Widam cocked her head at him and shook it.
"Of course little goblin, who else would lead the goblins but their god?" she asked teasingly and patted him on the shoulder as she passed. "Good luck General." Tork just sighed and smacked his head into the palm of his hand.
"How did I get myself into this?" He asked himself. The only answer he got was Bokwoo coming up and rubbing his plumed head against Torks back... and that gave Tork an idea...

*********Story**********
After a weeks worth of marching, and minor squabbles amongst the goblin tribes, the amassed troops arrived at the outskits of the land of the Molten Sea. The armies marched through the remenants of the land that had once been covered in small villages and towns. The Homairds stopped to mourn the loss of the people they had sworn to protect. Eventually, they arrived on the shores of the Molten Sea. The water that once shone red because of the red coral reefs beneath it now was blanketed in black.
Widam stolled up the water and dipped her finger in. Holding it up to her face she turned it from side to side.
"Oil..." she muttered. Tork manuevered Bokwoo up next to her, now quite adept at steering the unruley bird.
"Where are they?" Tork asked, and Widam turned to face him,
"I dont know... they should be here..." Bokwoo chirruped and backup from the sea. A murmur rustled through the troops. A ripple ran across the surface of the water and Widam scampered back to where the troops stood.
"Men! Women! Stand your ground!"
Tork glanced around... there was no sign of Gilham and the elves.
All of a sudden a huge head reared out of the water in front of them, followed by two more, they screeched horrible cries and hauled themselves back onto the land and beganto worm their way towards the troops.
"Sludge worms!!! Don't let them touch you! ARCHERS! AIM FOR THEIR EYES!" Widam screamed as troops scrambled to bring weapons to bear.

Suddenly, a great wooden ship roared out of the horizon. Startled, the sludge wurms turned to observe the new threats, and then returned their focus onto Widam's soldiers and the goblins.
Hordes of elves crowded on the ship and two figures stepped forward: Leron the elf and his friend Gilham. "Elf archers!" roared Gilham. He was about to order them to fire upon the wurms, when a horrific roar ripped across the sky. Glancing upward, Gilham gasped. "Corrupted drakes! Shoot them down!"
The flapping of massive wings could be heard coming from giant black drakes that loomed overhead. Gaping maws opened, shooting out heavy bursts of fire. "Fire!" screamed Leron.
And fire they did. A great volley of arrows blasted into the sky and from the shore, Tork could've sworn that the arrows blotted out the sun entirely. The drakes were then shreded to bits by the power of the elven arrows.

As the last of the wurms collapsed on the beach Zorruk's forces made landfall.
Within minutes they too were overrun by goblins. However, this time the other forces also attacked the men. The beach rang with the clash of blades as over the hours the fighting continued. Soon, the sea was once again a deep red, this time with blood. Slowly but surely Zorruk's men began to win the battle. Another ship had boarded Gilham's ship and were holding the elves off as more and more vessels disgorged their loads of men onto the beach. The defenders were too busy staying alive to notice the men sneaking up behind them.
With a cry of "For Zorruk" the men attacked the defenders on all sides. Fortified armor gave way like paper under the torrential downpour of blades. Elves, goblins, wizards, shadows, soldiers and snakes all fell by the hundreds. Tork was surrounded by 50 men and only through the power of Gilham's cloak was he able to survive.
Somewhere off to the side the Homarids and scorpions were conversing...
"Maybe we should summon it?" Galeous said.
"No, it is too dangerous, we can't control it." replied Arazim.
"But it could be our only chance at victory."
"No, maybe we can still win."
At this one of the homarids gestured toward the slaughter occurring on the beach.
"On second thought, we probably should summon it." Azarim amended.
The scorpions and homarids began chanting an ancient incantation.
Back on the beach things were looking grim. Zorruk's men now had the defenders surrounded and were kiling them off slowly. Tork was being lead up next to be sacrificed.
Suddenly, a great behemoth burst from the waters, its crustacean body glistening in the sun. It let out a fearsome cry and lunged toward the beach. At the sound of its cry the men fell screaming in agony to the ground. So did many of the elves, goblins, scorpions, homarids, snakes, wizards, soldiers and shadows. The molten Kufai Leviathan had arrived.

Galeous cried, "Arazim, you fool! You forgot to add the control magic clause!"
"What?" roared Arazim. "You're the one that forgot! I don't know control magic!"
Galeous sighed heavily. "Very well, let's do it now then!" The group of scorpions and homarids began to create the enchantment...

***Story***
As the final magical word was spoken, the Leviathan stopped what it was doing, which happened to be ripping apart a viashino. It turned it head, shook it (spraying blood everywhere) and then turned and rolled over the enemy. Hundreds of men were either eaten or crushed beneath it's mass. There was noone left to fight within a few moments. The Leviathan roared and then slowly faded away with the wind.

Under the control of Galeous, the Leviathan had devestated the enemy. Now, the great beast had vanished beneath the sea once more. Corpses littered the beach and ships. The various races continued to weed out remaining soldiers from Zorruk's army, but for the most part, the battle had been won.
The leaders gathered to discuss the next move. Galeous was adamant in sailing to the capital of his land and retaking it, but the more conservative Gilham wanted to wait for the wounded to heal and gain reinforcements from the various pockets of Homarid resistance against Zorruk. This was agreed to, so a temporary camp was set up to heal the the wounded.
