[center][h2][b][u]Dawn's Arrival[/u][/b][/h2][/center] The demon lay dead, its unholy corpse writhing involuntarily as it began to evaporate into nothingness. There was a moment where it's writhing ceased before it disappeared completely. Once it was gone, a series of visions entered the minds of every knight present. The visions showed a cave system infested with Kest which swarmed to the surface and devouring all the living, they saw the kingdom of Farendar in the midst of civil war and weakened enough for Sar'than's forces to invade the east, images of Uldgorin collapsing and the last of the Dwarves dying. These visions and more ran through the minds of the Templars before ceasing altogether. There was a silence that dominated the dreamscaoe they still inhabited but it could be seen in the distance that darkness was overtaking the land. Suddenly, an apparition took form before the group. It was a robed individual, a man from what they could make out, and he seemed to be a mystic of some sort. His head was hooded and the shadow cast over his face made him impossible to identify. Holing up a hand he spoke, [b]"Fear not, I am no demon. I offer aid, what's more I offer answers to this war. First you must deal with the Kest, that cave you witnessed in your visions is nearby. Then, travel to the capital of Farendar, one of my agents will meet you there. You must hurry, each moment passing our enemy gains strength. We will speak again when the time is right"[/b]. As quickly as he came, the mystic was gone. Without another word or lingering to answer questions he vanished back into nothingness. It was then that the darkness once seen creeping over the horizon was now almost upon the group. It took only a moment more before there was nothing but darkness. The sun rose over the horizon as our heroes awoke in Thanermere Keep. The sounds of knights rising to start their day could be heard as some were already up and about. As for Evelyn, she wasted no time getting ready and heading to the grand hall. Waiting there she began to go over the message they'd been given that night over and over. The Kest were already a threat, but now they were top priority. And the civil war in Farendar? Dark times were ahead, times that would try everyone's souls.
