Preface --- The Slumber of the Revenant.
Years have passed. Izix slept soundly ... the Emerald Dream containing the roaring power within him at bay. Dark Raven .. brought here by the Ark Knight Galigarn himself..had long since recovered and left her brother in his peace. The Tomb was never disturbed, and Izix's mind remained confined to his dream. Until that day...
The Rise of the Betrayed --- Azzin'Rokk Awakens.
Heavy steps were heard in the corridor, as the final Guardian was laid to rest. Gaping wounds in their armor plated hides burned with sickening fel energies. The sound of massive wings flaring outwards --- and then folding in slowly, the cry of anguish heard as they faded away. He walked forward draped in rags of what was once an Imperial Robe. His eyes lit up when he gazed upon the sleeping form of his counter-part. A wicked smile followed by lengthening fangs showed, then he roared out in laughter. The sounds of his bellowing laugh shook the temple's walls, and the Soul Forge reacted oddly to it. Ascended moved forward and inspected the stoney, sleeping form of who the one could have been. What he detested --- the false copy of himself. He spit to the left, and then placed a hand on Izix's stone cheek. "I've come to release you.. Brother. A being of your strength and power ... does not deserve this defilement of imprisoning. I..shall release you.. for all ... EtErNity.." The fiendish abomination gripped tightly to the sword lodged into Izix's chest, and the reaction sent a thundering boom along the temple's floors; racing up the walls and finally barelling across the ceiling. Fissures, cracks, and stress fractures formed everywhere. The coelesced power held with the blade instantly began surging throughout Ascended's body. Empowering him beyond all belief. Tearing the blade free, the stone form of Izix slowly began to wither..and finally fade. Falling to his back, and gasping for air, he glared up at the person who had released him. Then his stare filled with panic. The sword.. Azzin'Rokk ... The Blade of Ruin ... glistened and then crackled with power. Izix made fists with his hands, and then looked away. "..End it, Demon." A swift strike, and the wailing cry of agony shattered the Temple's last defense. Exploding through rock, Earth, and finally the sky ... Ascended rose up with his now pulsing, fel-energy concentrated wings. Spreading them out wide, he laughed almost quietly to himself. Feeling the absorbed powers of the Revenant coursing through his veins..he rolled his neck and the wings slipped around him like hands gripping tightly. Siphoning all the energy around him into his own soul, Ascended fell to the Earth..landing on one knee. The blade of Ruin perched on his back, ready at a seconds notice to strike anything down reverberated with a pulse of power that shook lands miles and miles away. He stood, and glanced upwards. A soft smirk.
"..Father. You're going to wish ... you had never made me."
The ground withered, and died completely as he pushed off, and soared through the sky..heading for the one known as Fyre's Domain.
