[h3]The Corrupter[/h3]
Level Three God of Perfection (Corruption)[/center] 
[hr]
[color=maroon]"What is your name?"[/color] Larwen whispered to the Perfected Unsullied. They had left the Forge of Purity, and now walked through the black corridors of the mountain. The unsullied was non responsive for a moment, as if contemplating the question. 

After a moment of silence, she responed, her voice whispy but still retaining an semblance of her old accent, "My name was Rowan, but now it feels all wrong mi'lord."

[color=maroon]"As it should child, for you have been born anew, forged into purity upon this earth. Rowan is the past, a time when you were not enlightened to true perfection. A new name you need, and I know it. But it must first must leave your lips or hold no meaning. Think upon it, and come to me when your search is complete."[/color]

The now nameless Unsullied paused, then looked at Larwen, "Thank you, this gift... it is a true blessing. I will not dissapoint you, mi'lord." She then bowed and left him.

Larwen reversed course, and went back to the Forge, where he would wait to see what the Zalsarix would bring back. 
 
As Telum dei flew over the continent, he saw that the other gods had been very busy, creations littered all about the land; like a child's discarded toys.  As he reached the mountain range, he saw the first signs of Larwen's corruption, slowing to a halt, he surveyed the defiled landscape.  Throughout the twisted, warped, and distorted land, large chitinous.... monsters could be seen abducting any form of life that did not fit their master's definition of 'perfection'.  Without a doubt, these hulking beasts would be Telum dei's ticket to finding Larwen.  Landing softly on the ground, he carefully suppressed his godly presence, and materialized a large grey cloak to hide his glowing form.  Slowly approaching one of  the corrupter's creations, Telum submitted himself to be taken prisoner.
 
And so Larwen's Zalsarix came after a long time, bringing forth all manner of unnatural life and beings who did not need to exist as they were. It seemed many of the Fae were battered and burned, with many missing wings. It was unfortunate that so many were mutilated, but it was still better then them being whole and disgusting. 

[color=maroon]"This pleases me,"[/color]Larwen said in a silky voice as he watched the Zalsarix toss their victims into the Forge, [color=maroon]"Forgive my siblings dearest creatures, for they created you in their image. Imperfect and unnatural, against my order. And you, Seihdhara's Fae, I pity you the most. But fear not, for soon, you will be free from their curse upon thy flesh."[/color]
  
And more perfections emerged from the Forge, mostly Fae, but a few other creatures as well. And as the line grew shorter and shorter, as the screams came less and less, there at last came a figure different from the rest. It stood taller then the others, wearing clothing to conceal what lay beneath.

[color=maroon]"Stop there my child,"[/color] Larwen motioned to a Zalsarix pushing the being forward, then floated over to them. [color=maroon]"What is this? This smell... so familiar but not the same. Almost like... [i]her[/i].[/color] And his mood soured, for he did not care for anymore uninvited guests.
 
[color=maroon]"What might you be then?"[/color] Larwen asked the bundled God.
       
After seeing the horrors spawned of Larwen's 'forge of purity', Telum had to know why... why create such abominations?  How is this perfection?  How could anyone, especially a god! Justify this?
  
Raising his head slighly, "How could you do this?" Telum asked Larwen, "Is creating such horrors truly noble? How could becoming subject to your will be benevolent? What warrants the creation of these bastardizations?"
   
Larwen smiled. [color=maroon]"I do not expect such a lowly cretin to understand the whims of my will. But I will enlighten you. Firstly, my children you call horrors are anything but, for you are the horror in their eyes. In my eyes. They were without purpose before I made them perfect, before I made them whole. Without my guidance, my will, they will be forgotten in a world that is lost to true beauty. My siblings and their ilk, their spawn, their very creations, they must be shown the true path of purity. It is the only way. It is a gift, one you shall see."[/color] Larwen then motioned for the Zalsarix to begin prodding the cloaked figure towards the forge. 

As the Zalsarix went to prod Telum dei into the forge, he turned, and lightly pressed his hand against the tip of the sword, and the sword would no longer move; rather, it refused to be moved.  Turning back towards Larwen Telum spoke once more, " It saddens me that you are so deluded, driven to believe your vile deeds are that of grandeur, if this is a perfection you wish to share, to show the other gods that you are right, is there not another way?"
   
The Zalsarix tried in vain to move his sword, and Larwen seemed perplexed all the same, but when the man spoke again, Larwen's mood turned to that of anger. [color=maroon]"Deluded? Vile? These are the words of an imperfection. A blight upon the universe, not needed to be believed by anyone of true sense. Little cretin, how can you understand? There is no other way. Not until my dear siblings are gone, or shown the truth of my ways. Now, I believe we've had this little chat long enough. It's time for you to change,  Seihdhara spawn."[/color] Larwen then grabbed the man by his left arm, pulling him to the edge of the Forge.
 
Suddenly, with a jerk, Larwen's forward motion halted, [color=red]"Tis a pity you would not listen, and choose a better path,  but you have forced my hand." [/color] with that, the large grey cloak concealing Telum's divine glow burned away; before Larwen stood not a man, but a god.
 
Larwen was decieved, but not entirely suprised. Regardless, he let go of Telum and snarled, [color=maroon]"I should have known, you reek of her. Always my siblings finding ways to meddle in my affairs. But you are not one of my siblings are you, nephew? This is not a surpise, I knew it would happen eventually. It was inevitable, but for her to send you here? Now, that was foolish my dear boy."[/color] Larwen then summoned Willbreaker to his hands, [color=maroon]"I've been curious to see if my Forge would cure a God. How perfect that you might stand here before me, now. Shall we see?"[/color]

[color=red]"I'm afraid not uncle, your arrogance will be your downfall...[/color] Telum said with a chuckle, a bright light turning into a nodachi in his hands, and slowly sliding his feet apart into a wide combat stance [color=red]" Are you sure you wish to fight me?"[/color]

Larwen let out a sickening laugh, [color=maroon]"Arrogance? I think not dear nephew."[/color] Larwen then swung his mace at Telum.
   
Catching just below the head of the mace with his sword, Telum pushed the mace slightly to the right, and sidestepped left in one fluid motion, [color=red]"[b]I am Telum dei! Son of god and sword! I shall not be taken lightly!"[/b][/color] he declared, throwing a hard kick into Larwen's side.
  
Telum's kick landed, the momentum of the blow made Larwen stumble to his side. He quickly rebounded with haste, moving his body in unnatural ways to once again stand before Telum. [color=maroon]"You should not have come here, [i]Telum Dei[/i]."[/color] Larwen flatly stated. He then attacked again, swinging the mace at Telum's side, but fainting the attack midway, hoping that Telum would go to block it, then use is free hand to claw Telum in the side.

The feint caught Telum off-guard, and Larwen's well timed strike sent him tumbling back. This was going to be a tougher fight than Telum thought, [color=red]" You caught me off-guard, but now, my eyes are open."[/color] Telum's blinding eyes snapped open, creating a crimson glare off the bottom of his straw hat, as he took a defensive stance at the exit of the chamber.
     
[color=maroon]"Foolish child, you are in my domain. Your eyes might be open, but they cannot see."[/color] Larwen then vanished into the shadows of Pervanon, the only thing remaining were the ominious glowing eyes of the Zalsarix and the other perfected creatures, staring at Telum from across the Forge. It grew quiet, the air heavy with silence before the very mountain erupted. Telum would be assualted on all fronts by the very power of Larwen's corruption. A shadowy mist seething with hate and anger, finally unchecked to do as it pleased. All light would be snuffed out, even the Forge's green glow would cease, and the stares of monsters would be but a distant memory.

This tactic disgusted Telum, an honorable opponent would never resort to such trickery, he would be back, but for now he would bide his time, until Larwen would finally return from the shadows. Rocketing out of pervanon's depths, Telum once again resumed his search for heroes worthy of his blades; it will take an army to challenge Larwen's forces, and he [b]would[/b] be ready.
