Time: Now
Place: The northern fringes

Slowly the scout party entered the domain of the Archangel of balance. There movements precise and without hesitation, they found the solitary guard tower and without waiting they entered the tower, murdering the guards. Once this was done they signalled and after half a day an old and wizened man approached the guard tower, he casted a few spells and the former guards were raised to fight the undead legions of the upcoming horde, another spell later nobody would notice the chance from them, only if one was well versed in magic would they see the minor changes and pick up the smell of the undead. Once this was fixed the small scouting group moved on, they had a schedule to keep on, one that originated years ago...

Time: 5 years ago
Place: The Shadowlands

It was a time of rejoice for the war parties, the so called saviour had been found. Now they other tribes would gather and flock around him, making sure nothing here would stop them, and then they would move on towards the hated land of the Archangel Jaeden StarFire... Days later after the ceremonies the first headmen of one of the northern tribes arrived. With a short ceremony he pledged his loyalty towards the new champion and as a true servant was right he brought him an ancient armor, one that had been rumored to have belonged to an ancient sect of warriors who had defended a distant realm in the past, yet the artifact had been lost due to the interference of others, unbeknown to the tribes chief he set forth a wheel of motion into something that would involve the invasion of elysium...

Time: Now
Place: The northern fringes

The small scouting party advanced onwards, deeper into the mountains, every resistance would suffer the same faith as the guard tower, and all over the border this effect would be seen, a dark avalanche of death advancing on the peaceful lands of etheria. The scouting group was slowly advancing towards a distand cave, and then all hell broke lose just on the edge of the border and the scouting party saw one of the ancient guardians flying out of the cave. The raiding party, hidden under spells moved into the cave, taking away that wich had been agreed to years ago, the one thing the ancient guardians valued...

Time: 3 years ago
Place: The Shadowlands

Within 3 years all were loyal to him, were it by force or by there thinking was remain to be seen. But they all had pledged there loyalty towards him, the champion of the shadowlands, challenger of the hated Jaeden. With his 5 most loyal companions he started to make plans, he knew that the first barrier was going to be the ancient guardians, the wyrms of good, he had to get rid of them, but how... It was as if luck struck him, all of a sudden he knew, he needed to have a bargaining chip to keep them out of there... And with that the first scout groups were dispatched, a few would return but most would be killed by the ancient ones but as long as they would return with the secret it would work... And months later he had the solution, it had been real simple ofcourse but one would never look for it, it were the small details that did it...

Time: Now
Place: The northern fringes

The scouting group returned towards there meeting point and dropped down the eggs, within hours the rest arrived and in a week the area was secured and the eggs were there... Once this was done to all the guardians a messenger was send, telling them that they would stay out of the upcoming war or else they would be the last ones of a dying breed. The ancient wyrm's couldn't do nothing but to agree to the terms, but as the terms were settled the ancient ones agreed on one thing, they wouldn't involve directly, but from the sideline, aiding those Jaeden would send towards them to halter the upcoming death...

Time: Now
Place: Elysium, Zephyr's chambers

The young man had been safely taken care of all though it had costed him greatly to survive the ancients wounds but he had managed and now all was back to the normal being, the training with ast. and the working out. His body had been healing and he seemed to have picked up strength and the likes once more... Then he got the vision, one of the dragons agreeing to the surrendering and the tidal wave of death that was about to approach the safety of the Elysium, this was what he had been fearing, and it didn't look good... Once the vision he stopped and made his way towards the sanctuary, he needed to find Jaeden to tell her about this

Time: Now
Place: The northern fringes

All the ancient ones agreed on it and they made a simple action, one of them reached out for Jaeden, his mind pulsating for hers

~MS to Jaeden~ M'Lady, I regret to inform you that we have failed you in our duty, our land has been over run and we are helpless... We cannot aid you in a direct contact with the enemy, but we will aid those you send us

With that the old one broke the contact knowing that to much would attention wasn't right for the cause and with that the weels of war and destruction were in motion

~perched at the top of the guard tower, the glossy black Crow watched the scouting party advance. It watched with a keen interest as the hostile party sacked the tower and murdered all within.
At first the Crow was just an observing thought, but since this was something eventful, a larger part of a vast conciousness flooded into the Dark bird.

'Interesting' the Elder Dark thought from the form of the Crow.
'Someone dares to invade My Sister's Realm. What a wonderfully chaotic event. Would not be fair if I played directly...however, perhaps a minion should be sent to influence things...'

The Dark Crow pondered the dicision of which minion to send. It was still pondering as the old one came and animated the murdered guards.

'Even more interesting. This raises the stakes...'

The Crow then took flight and wheeled around to fly in the direction the advanced party traveled, to further observe.

'Perhaps it is time for Gunter Mal to return to Elysium', the Dark Crow decided as It approached the vanguard of war...~
