[center][h3][b]Calemvir[/b][/h3][/center] [i][b][color=black]"Return to me."[/color][/b][/i] These words burned themselves into the empty vessel of a dormant mind. The words drummed louder and more incessant as time passed by, and slowly understanding dawned. The cobwebs that blanketed the minds of the dead, were slowly shook away as cognizant thought returned. Thoughts of ash, of flame and of a blade biting deep came with them. Slowly, the long peaceful and untouched form of a black Dragon shuddered as life fought to bring the long exhumed host back to the world. Even rot and carrion-eaters had feared to disturb the grounded form, for a much more dangerous power had laid claim and promised life. More thoughts returned, of blood, of burning and of the blades wielder. [i][b][color=firebrick]"STANWYCK!!"[/color][/b][/i] A deep and thunderous roar rocked the surroundings as the form of a large black Dragon erupted from the leaves and refuge that had adorned his body for years. As the leaves swirled and fluttered in the wind, they revealed a large dark stain which marred the earthen ground. The Dragon's blood had remained and would continue to do so, forever marking the ground upon which Calemvir had grounded, and bled out alone. The ground upon which he had lost his life. The great beast lumbered forward, claws raking at the green earth as he adjusted to his new found life. Surrounding him, stood a field of evergreen trees bearing green leaves and spines with outstretched limbs. A large heart began to beat, blood coursed and thoughts became clearer. A wild swiping claw ripped bark free from the closest tree trunk, revealing the inner white of wood and sap. [i][b][color=firebrick]"Curse you Stanwyck! You have committed you and your kin to death."[/color][/b][/i] Even as the vile threat sounded throughout the clearing with a deep, reptilian voice. Calemvir sensed that time had passed, that the Stanwyck that had slain him no longer stood amongst the living. And yet, he fully intended to make good on his threat. As Calemvir's thoughts turned to vengeance and blood, the Overlord's words once more made themselves known, drumming seemingly from within his own ridged skull. [b][i][color=firebrick]"Yes, of-course."[/color][/i][/b] Great and all encompassing wings expanded, shrugging of any of the more adamant leaves which now drifted slowly to their resting places upon the dried and bloodstained earth. With a powerful beat of his large wings, Calemvir took to the skies. [center]---------------------------------------------------------[/center] Gliding upon the cold wayward winds, the large Dragon materialized from behind a cloud bank over the ruined keep now reduced to nothing more than rubble and a jagged skyline. A throng of crude tents lay outside before it's gates as he looked down upon the ruins, a quarter of which had disappeared over the edge of the cliff the keep sat upon. The winged beast circled the keep once, looking upon the priest who stood atop the fort as dark rifts formed around the being. The Dragon sneered as he came to land before the great doors of the Overlord's keep. Constructed specifically to accommodate the size of the large Elder Dragon, the great wooden doors now hung limply from their hinges. [i][b][color=firebrick]"Orcs..."[/color][/b][/i] Calemvir spoke aloud as his large snout inhaled. Bringing his wings close against him, the Dragon prowled through the once grand hall of the Overlord. With many of the walls collapsed and the hall empty bar the throne sitting at the halls end, the great beast found there to be more than enough room for his large form. All four of his clawed feet clinked against the stone floor as Calemvir approached the throne, before finally stopping and rearing his head high. [i][b][color=firebrick]"Dark one, you asked of me? I have seen an orc encampment beyond these walls and Uaziezuhr upon the ramparts. I believe I smell human... Just what is this?"[/color][/b][/i] The Dragon hissed. [hr] [b]Actions:[/b] Recently awoken, Calemvir has made his way to the Overlord's fort for answers.
