    The Mummy Attacks #00

    After one whole month of attacks, Torièn was finally calm now. His family had worked a lot, and probably if any black alve attack Priatel again, their efforts would blast them dead, so he decides to go talk with an ancient Elemental Ice he knows where she lives. It gives him a waterbook, a rare item only the Ice and Water elementals hold, but as he asked for permission, he's able to read.
    Torièn's elemental abilities are becoming his best skills, and the people of his ruledom respect him a lot, knowing his huge actions on protecting the Inner Mountains and the pilgrim's passage. An effort all his family takes, Rudyn at the point northeast, Aethas at the other passage.

    When reading the Tome of Ice, he feels a positive presence. And soon, a second one. Both he identifies as the presence of a dragon, and a second of a saint.

   It has passed now almost one day since Timeflow's back normal.

    He feels an odd sensation of danger on the whole world, as the undead energy flows in every direction, and he's confident his friend Lena will do her best.

    Lena is not a mortal anymore, and she's the new Dark Queen, he wonders, and no one will understand why Torièn believe her so much.

    She had joined the Mummy King, as his wife.

    The whole world fears her now, but the mage's confident of her secret, which means he knows she's a dangerous and powerful mission. She's not fallen, not yet. Lena's name will be erased from history, by the scholars, but the main reason she's doing it,...

    - Torièn, I'll need your help before the end.
    - Yes, princess. What do you need me to do for you?
    - You'll know, but don't believe I'm evil, by no means, for what's to come. I have a duty. And this way, I am the one with the most dangerous mission.
    - I'll be on your side, when you need me.
    - Thank you, noble Draszi - she said.

    He'll be the only one to believe she's right, and doing what needs to be done.

    Outside Priatel ruledom, the world is now a strange place.

    Immedaitely after the time came back normal, after a long time of people being transformed into entities, or any other kind of new creatures, they did it. Hadesh, also know as Trahmass only by his fellow group, is happy with that, heading to the Fortress of North. He's on a mission to Ayasta. By what he understood, his friend godess explained in thelepaty that the Avatar of Chaos, the little blond child who made the group life a hell asked the great entities, and had the right to abandon her duties as being Chaos.

    He could not be more happy with that.

    And it seems Flausin, after understanding madness perfectly, is going to be trained as Chaos, will become a child as every Avatar happens to have this form, have said Ayasta.

    Even in the far north, the necroforma is gathering, he sees it with the company of Tacke and the mad bogling Flausin, and no one knows what will happen next. What the Dark Lord will do, is only up to himself. The whole people who fight for good are waiting. As the undead energy is still not attacking anyone, and no one knows the real target the Mummy King decided to attack, this is the moment every men and women on Toj are sharpening their axes, to confront finally the monster of this era.

    What is a secret is, and Tacke knows, is that who's controling the necroforma is their friend, in a dangerous mission she could not tell even to her group fellows.

    "Wait for the Mummy attack, and don't attack the undeads yet", Tacke had listen to the voice of the Elder who's the Academy Council leader, just one hour ago, and this was a so wise advice he thought the information about the one who's doing it can wait.

    Tacke, after timeflow came normal, immediantely went to see his family.

    - We're fine, Tack - his wife kissed him, and he huged their children.
    - Father, I need to talk to you - said his daughter Delenda - There will be much suffering on this world, and wherever you be, my heart will be with you.
    - Why are you saying this, Delenda? - Tack asked her.
    - I,... can't tell. In the name of the Order, I ask you not to ask me again. If I tell you, I'll condemn the world, and you just need to know I'm with you.
    - Hhmmm,... (he stoped, thinking), if you say so, I believe you.

    Tacke and Hadesh took Flausin to the north pole, where they see a huge vortex of light, a tempest, from which came a sun chang warrior, short but ferocious. The smallman didn't talk, but Flausin says "Wait for me!" and entered the immense energy fortress vortex.

    Hour later, they came to the safeplace Ayasta could teleport 'em back.

    (Back to Priatel)

    When Tacke and Hadesh came to the Frozenlant Mountain, they found a new master elementalist. Torièn explained he's just confronted the Ancient Elemental Ice. A huge sensation of normality, strange when undeads are ready to take over the world, rules nature.

    - The gods created by the event are dead.
    - Not all of 'em, Hadesh - says Torièn - Maika confirmed me some had suvived the flow.
    - Maika? She cahnged name?
    - Yes, Tacke. She's learning magic with Ayasta, and Ayasta's mastering mind with her. It was my idea, and I thought both would learn much with the other.
    - Flausin's the Avatar of Chaos, now - says Hadesh.
    - Proper - confirmed Torièn.
    - The only thing that's out of place seems to be the Blue Pearl Black dragon.
    - And I agree with that, Prýmmus - says the Priatel.
    - Are we going to do anything this time?
    - I think we will, Hadesh. This time we just can't not to act.
    - Agree with you, Torièn - says Tacke.
    - Let's wait for the best moment to act, this time. The Mummy King must act first, unless we see he's not going to attack the monotheist empire.
    - I still think we should have created a world threat so big and under our control, the whole world would get together to confront it. The monotheists are not the enemy. We know there's someone dealing with time magic behind this all.
    - I know, Tacke - says Torièn - But not even the Academy would believe someone's moving through Time, without suffering transmorphic subversion.
    - That's true - says the Professor - I know them. They wouldn't.
    - When are we going to attack?
    - We need to wait, Hadesh. This time, we need to wait.

    The last words of Tacke let the takkar thinkative, and they'll need to do something before the group take action, so he went the Sanctuary, on the lastly Torièn's family castle, to make medical work. His medical guidance was very welcomed by all the people. They all know he's the valley guardian, now. They all know he's a medic, well trained in medicine on Treiyka, and people follow his intructions.

    All of a sudden, the whole world sense a presence.

    Ambar, the Godess of Time and Magic, they all sense she's alive.

    "She's back! Ambar is back", cries most of the population.

    A huge sensation that things must come to the right place came with her, but no one knows what she did as her first action. Tacke knows, she's powerful enough to have done something no one could sense, and prepare the world to survive the war againt the Mummy King. Whatever she did, she did in silence. No entity, extradimensional, or not even Tacke, who's an eek now. No one knows, but they all know she had take action, this time to make something they all cannot know what it really is.

    And so, all undead skeletons start to move west.

    Torièn send a magic message to Raýla, saying "They're moving west", and receive a dark gift message saying "No, they're moving southwest. They're going the monotheist empire. Was has begun", and Torièn called his fellow group members to finally take action into the war.

    - Ambar is alive, Tack.
    - It doesn't change anything.
    - I've tested all elements on destroying the undeads, and they're not affected by fire. They were, but I sense a world casting was done.
    - I was warding againt all elements, on the necroforma.
    - That's bad news, Tack.
    - It doesn't change anything yet.
    - So we're going action?
    - Yes, Hadesh - confirmed the Professor.
    - Nothing's better than this. But how come Ambar is back?
    - Your Bag can confirm what I think. Look at the Bag. Is the Egg still on your Bag?

    Hadesh looked, made a fair search, and nothing.

    - So, (says Tacke), Saint Krunnek had fooled you, while having an orgy, and had stolen the Egg. That's the only possibility. He's well known for being a fair worshiper of Ambar, and I assume he did it since we were going to do nothing to ressurrect his godess.

    They start preparing for the mission.

    Before going there, Torièn sent a message to Dudin and Tayala. "Transform the bones into another matter, and the skeletons won't back", he says, but the answer was terrible. "We are fine. This is happening on the three worlds at the same time. The person who's doing it is sitted by the side of the Mummy King, and he's not doing the attack, just waiting to act, but it's all we have. The Mummy King is creating swamps on the Feudal Federation, so he had abandoned the idea of Nine Realms as his kingdom". Torièn answered "The Nine Realms are an ally now, and the person you're talking about is the Mummy's wife. We're going action, now. We have a mission. I'll send message when it's done", and there were no answer back.

    - Tacke - called the mage - This is not the Mummy King attack.
    - Again, this doesn't change anything. The whole world will treat this as his attack, and that includes the monotheist empire's leaders.
    - Oka,... let's go, then.

    Hadesh finally had his long waited smile.

    (At the monotheist Empire)

    Daytel waited paciently, for two hours in which Tacke was trying location on the unplottable target, but Hadesh was really impacient. He was happy when his friend says "I located the target. But now, I'll need to concentrate on the anchor magic, 'cause if I negate it the target will know we're going", and meditated to take off his mind of tension, he's a warrior monk, so tension is definitely wrong. Half an hour later, they listened "Got it. Prepare for the attack, right now", says Tacke.

    - Now, Daytel - and the elementalist activated the teleport ritual.

    They were draged from their place of origin, everything going horizon, and so they came to a cave, an immense cave with a door.

    And the Blue Pearly Black dragon's holding the door from it's other side.

    Hadesh immediately assumed beast form, and started to fly, while Torièn conjured a pointed star attack with various elements and attacked. Tacke assumed negation instance. The attack from the elementalist hited the dragon, who screamed loud "Bastards!", but didn't moved. Daytel's attack has broken one only scale, and that let space opened for Hadesh to attack. The takkar beast gives a huge bite on the dragon's flesh, and put all his poison, to which is not any cure yet. No one knows his race exist, not even many dragons, so the poison started to act on the dragon's blood, and as soon as it was flowing, the dragon started to faint.

    - There's something wrong - says Tacke.

    The dragon started to laugh, while his legs were trembling.

    - Why he's not attacking? There's something wrong - repeated the mage, while his companion mage elementalist stoped while concentrating another attack.

    They stay in silence, and the dragon starts to laugh out loud.

    He's going to die, he knows.

    - We,..... won - were the last words of the blue pearl black dragon.

    And he fell to the ground.

    Immediately, the door he was holding was blasted, and Hadesh assumed attack flight, but they looked outside, and it was not a cave.

    It was a vault, and outside there's a huge number of Basylisks.

    The man in a hood, one with hands up as using magic says "Damned" and looked the more than thirty basylisks on the outside, to say "They're yours. I don't have anything to do with this anymore", and simply vanished on the air, they don't listen to the "pop" so characteristic to teleport.

    Daytel conjures his protections against basylisk words to kill, and starred Tacke waiting, at the same time the immense cave was invaded by the monotheist army.

    - Our dragon's DEAD! Our Patron's DEAD! - cried the monotheists - Attack the basylisks! Make 'em move! We need that people who killed Pearl! Now!

    Tacke concentrated on his eek powers, and created a trigger for teleport home magic.

    "It's done", he murmurs, feeling disapointed.

    And teleported home.

    (Back at Prýmmus house)

    - It was an ambush! - cried Hadesh - I've got his scale! It's here! Look.

    The big dragonscale was pearly, and blue and black at the same time. But Tacke and Torièn just looked each other, knowing the mistake they've fell into. It was an ambush, and the dragon knew they'd attack, and let himself die, to render the monotheist empire against the group. They'll know an unknown poison killed the dragon, and by the magic of an elementalist the scale was taken. They'll become fanatics, now. And their enemy's not the basylisks, nor the Mummy King. The monotheist enemy's now each and every elementalist on Toj, and the trikumai worlds, for their patron's being murdered, coldly.

    There are no words to forgive 'em for this.

    (End of Session)

    Some Considerations necessary

    How come the new dragon knew they were going to go and kill him? And why did it let them do it, without any action to stop 'em?

    There's a huge problem with this.

    Who told the dragon?
