   Das being the only one who remained awake, would be the first to wake to the dawn of a new day. As the sun rose it gave the sky a red hue. When one looked in the direction of their new destination they would see smoke rising. What did this mean to them? That the calm, safe haven of the city of Zaphere had likely fell to chaos. Did a foreign country attack the city? did a uprising occur?..... No, a war had broke out, a war not often held on this planet. It was a war however, that will always leave a black stain upon it. A war between evil and the righteous. The group could only guess as to what happened. There would soon be more smoke spiraling from the direction in due time. The worse part, the group could do nothing from this distance. No way to answer the pleas of help that would come. They where a long ways away from the city.

      Unnoticed to the fighters within the guild building as resistance broke against Sergei and his holy champions, fire and smoke erupted from where the monastery was located. The guards wanted to go investigate but as they were going to leave the rest to the holy order attacking the guild people began to move through the city. These were not just ordinary beings. The beings cast down their cloaks and their rags. Revealing silver hair, and black leather armor. They had a demonic emblem designed into their armor. The guards hesitated at first and then aimed their swords at the newcomers. The drow cultists drew their blades and gave charge taking the fight to them. It was too late for apologies on the guild. A three way war had already begun. The Devourer had come to Zaphere and he was here to stay.

 At the monastery drow had arrived there as well. With drow and demonkin fighting side by side they pushed against the holy forces still there. Eliphas dove to the ground with a impact that sent three men to the ground. Two paladins and a Cleric. The looked to him to see the horror of the creature. His body inflames and appearing into his hands. A vorpal sword in his right and a flaming whip in the other. The first paladin gave charge to try and fell him. He flicked his wrist and the whip came flying upwards its barbed ends tearing into the armor. The hit sent the man to the ground. The other paladin gave charge his sword up on high ready to swing. Eliphas blocked the blade with his vorpal sword. With strength only known to a demon he pushed with his arm sending the paladin back. Eliphas then vanished re appearing behind the man. The paladin turned to react, but did not move fast enough as a blade pierced through his armor and out the other end. Blood covering it. He tossed the dead paladin aside and approached his two remaining opponents. The other paladin rose from the ground and sent a holy bolt of energy at the balor. Eliphas took it in stride puffing out his chest. The blast hit and did burn but it was not strong enough to fell the demon. Eliphas answered in kind with a bolt of lightning. The bolt nailed the paladin in the chest. He was dead before he hit the ground. The cleric was mortified. Eliphas finished him off as quick as he did the others. He continued to fight leading his legion forward.

          He suddenly woke to a odd feeling. The feeling was a hand brushing through his hair. When he glanced up he saw Ceris. She was sitting up and with a smile on her face. The light of dawn shining upon her face. Neither one thought this would ever occur ,but their prayers where heard and their dream became a reality. Ellis could now look upon the real form of Ceris, and she could look at him with her own two eyes and not someone else's. He looked around as he rose. He saw Corellan standing their giving him a nod. He nodded back with a smile and then back to Ceris. He could not understand what came over him but something pushed him to leap and slam into Ceris. Toppling her over. "I told you I would save you,... no one else believed me. Not even you..." Was all he said. Tears came down his face. Tears of joy. She smiled and her hands went up to his chin and rose his head so his eyes lined up with hers. There they stared into each others eyes. " You have beautiful eyes...." He said. Her hair short at the shoulders and her eyes a violet color. She then silenced him and his talk with a kiss. The held that kiss as the sun rose higher and higher. When it was over Ellis looked behind her and saw smoke rising. His eyes widened.. "What's that?.." He asked. Both Ceris and Corellan looked to the direction and saw it.

"Eliphas has made his move,... we do not have much time left. I can not go with you as of yet. I will join you in the battle to come, but first I must regroup with the cities reinforcements." He said. His horn glowed and white cloaks appeared on them. Their clothing changed. The symbol of Corellan Lorethian on the backs. "You must go,... and meet your friends." He then looked to his right and appearing was a pegasus. It had no horns. It was just a normal pegasus. "He will go with you and take you there. To the tavern. He will help in the fight in my spot."
