Prologue - A Resurgence of Death

    Millions of years ago, long before written history a cult thrived and ruled many lands, they would kill mercilessly, and burn down homes at will… they were an army of darkness.

    Ibn Fadlung, a well-set man of forty-five whom had many skills in weaponry and self defense, he then looked around and motioned to the ruler. He spoke in an unknown and lost language, he whispered "the last years are to befall us soon, we are thriving now sure, but it will not remain." Ibn looked across the burial grounds. Outside the area was a large area of swamps and marshy lands. There was a large stone building to the left, filled with miraculous statues… but all of this was even before written history.

    "I know, our armies are in trouble, we should begin to prepare, we will circle this rock and prepare ourselves." He looked at Ibn they both had a stern look to their face "We must not allow anyone to have our power. If this kingdom is going to fall we must cover it, our army can hold the evil temporarily but we need to stop it. Ibn you have been the priest for a while you will hold the burial."

    Ibn whispers "Wyglif will lead me on my voyage. He will stay on the ship; it is much too dangerous. We will need twenty of our best men they will follow us and protect us."

    "Yes, but hurry, go now." The ruler lead Ibn out of the room.

    "Quickly we must leave" Wyglif hurried the workmen to finish the task at hand, Wyglif was a strong powerful man, he was bald and very tall, his voice was commanding. He loaded several large swords and armory. "Complete your quest then we return, got it, we must not risk anything, or waist time." Wyglif walked onto the boat deck flexing his large muscles.

    The boat set out for the ocean followed by three more, the workers kept working at building items. They crossed several large islands and volcanoes; they finally came to a very large piece of land. They halted Ibn chose five men. He told them to go to the land and to make sure it is safe, they went with their large swords drawn. They were to give a signal; it was a trick, used by mirrors and fire.

    After the signal was cast Ibn went on. The others stayed in the boat. Ibn then told more workmen to bring the large wooden crates. They went across the plain, crossed over a mountain, and to a very large volcano.

    "Here it is, that is what we must go in" He pointed to the Volcano, "quickly" he shouted so as for everyone to hear "we have limited time."

    They trudged through the mist and tress and bushes chopping down objects that got in their way with their large swords. They neared the top, it was hot and misty, the air was filled with a horrible stench, they came to the top, they looked down… it was still active, and the air burned the lungs of the soldiers of death. They pulled out large coils of rope and threw them down the inside of the volcano, steam poured from it, followed by a large cloud of smoke, ash then fell to the ground covering them with the burning blackness. They first attached all their gear and other items and large wooden crates and swung them down inside, they then pulled the ropes up and attached themselves and swung down inside. Once down inside Ibn began searching for the hole, he found it he pulled himself inside, he then gave the same signal and the others followed. They went through the large hole. "This is it… this is where the magic happened," Ibn said as he walked deeper into the hole. "Ok now set the traps, close off the burial for the kings." Ibn paused then said "now then open the large crates" the workers did as told, when they were opened they revealed several dead bodies the ribs were bashed in and a chain of fingers were given them around their necks. "Chain them to the wall."

    Again they did as they were told. Once they had finished they departed and returned to the ship. They did this several other times, same thing sometimes in a jungle other times maybe a desert, just going where they had kept rituals.

    They once ruled the earth, destroying everything that challenged them but this was before humanity. Soon after Ibn was proved correct the kingdom fell, and the source of their power was hidden with the cylinders that generate the power scattered across the world.

    Just recently, the Nazis have been poking their noses into things. They have unearthed the power of the dead, and have been gaining its power. They have unearthed several digs. Now Hitler is going nuts trying to find the power. If they obtain it the world could end…
