The shadows upon the floor swirl and group together lazily, trying to sort out a puzzle with invisible hands. A pillar of the shadowy mass forms upward and spins in a pillar of darkness, where apendages begin to form. A shadowy globe that appears to be a head takes shape in the chaos. Eyes open and fiery green shines through. The shadows begin to take on a more solid state, or at least appear to be in confined measures of what would be a human-like figure. A smile plays across it's lips. The form continues to swirl, taking upon it a cloak of Shadow.

Now, obviously a man or a man-shape, it takes a seat upon it's new throne.

In a raspy, cold voice, it claims,

"I have returned."

He looks about and surveys those in front of him. The giants ar strong, blessed with the touch of shadow magic upon them. He turns and sees Brendon, the one that had been prepared to be the bringer of life. He now was a ju-ju zombie. A powerful servant, and fitting for this man.

"This is Grey. A defender of the throne. And what have we here? Rhianneth? Is that you, sweet girl? Don't bother getting up, you may kneel and worship me where you lay."

He eyed the stricken girl with terrible satisfaction. She had once left him, and now he has seen to her humbled state of awareness.

Turning the attention to Terrakis, he says,

"My trustworthy Terrakis. I am glad to finally meet you. You have served me well and shall be rewarded. My first proclamation will be that all of the Underforums will be your's for the keeping. A direct pathway between your world and my tower shall forever remain open from both sides, guarded by your best followers and as such you will be called upon in times of need. You may come and go as you wish.

Now...what have I missed.

Echo! Where are you hiding?

The echo of Larry rushes up to meet it's master.

"I am here, sir, and ready to return to you...to you...you..."

The echo then appears in shape as a shadow of the terrible form sitting upon the throne. It walks over to the man and becomes his shadow.

Upon being reunited with Echo, Larry gained the knowledge of the History of Ironworks since his death. All was now revealed to him, as Echo recounted these tales.

"Much has happend indeed. Yet it troubles me that this Tao the Druid still lives. She was trouble for me in my first life, and while she yet lives, she is trouble to me still. I must contemplate this news for a moment."

OOC>>>
Ju-Ju Zombie
These creatures are made when a wizard drains the life force from a man-sized humanoid creature with an energy drain spell. Their skin is hard, gray, and leathery. Ju-ju zombies have a spark of intelligence. A hateful light burns in their eyes, as they realize their condition and wish to destroy living things.
