In a dark premises, devoid of any lighting materials, Iode found himself tied up in chains on a large stone slab. The time he appeared at the present scene, he has come back to his senses, leaving the dark expanse.
"Hello! Anyone here, why am I tied up in chains like a prisoner, not to talk about this place being as dark as an abyss". Iode yelled.
Suddenly, purple flames ignited and lights up the dark expanse. The flames ignites on torches that were placed in circler rings. Given the lighting, Iode was able to see to a considerable extent where he is.
He was able to see that he was in a place built from stones, mosses and vines covered their surface and the place was very damp. With just a glance, you could tell that the premises is an ancient building.
' Igor, do you have any idea where I am?'. He asked.
"I certainly do not". Igor replied him from the dark expanse.
Unexpectedly, four dark hooded individuals came into the building and took themselves in two pairs, standing at the either side of each other. Soon, another dark hooded person came in, however, its was decorated stylishly.
The individual who came in later than the rest walked amidst the other four and moved towards Iode. Getting to him, the person stopped at their track and turned around.
"For a very long time, members of our organization have been into hiding in the shadows for millenniums, hiding away from the unforgiving terror of the people of the world.
We were persecuted and killed because of our ideology to make the world a better place by unifying all cultures to be one and have good rapport with the celestials".
"The kingdom of Theron, which now goes by the name Magical Nation, have long believed our esteemed organization have been plundered and nothing but a forgotten history.
However, unbeknownst to them, surviving members like us have thrive in the shadows for millennials cooking up ways to revive our cause. And now we have it, after the end of the Great war, our master, Zenobios Bruggen left clues as to how we can bring that to fruitation".
" What we need is someone with tremendous energy borrowed from the gods and that someone is who we have brought here, to bring back the master! ". The stylish dark hooded person said.
"Let the dawn of a new beginning come!!! Let the dawn of a new beginning come!!! Let the dawn of a new beginning come!!!". The four hooded individuals said chanting.
The dark magicians really did survive the cleansing that was done after the Great war. Iode stared in horror listening to the words of the people.
"You people want to use me as some form of sacrifice? Fat chance! ". Iode yelled.
"Iode, I have done so many experiment, I've used ordinary people as means to return the master, however, they did not produce good results". The stylish dark hooded person said.
"For a very long time, I've been trying to abduct a successor of one of the original five but I've always failed... Until Archmage Averay gave me your essence".
' who is this person, how is he able to know my name so well '. Iode thought.
"Have we met before, how do you know my name ". He asked.
The hooded person smiled under the hood
"We have met quite a number of times Iode, it surprising you don't even recognize my voice ". The person said.
The person brought their hand up and removed their hood. Iode eyes shrunk in horror, his face speaks of disbelief and doubt.
" M-m-magus Myrtle de Caspia?!". Iode Gasps
She looked at Iode and smiled maliciously...
