SANITY'S EDGE
by Matt Vosters
Somewhere, in a open valley outside a city, a storm rages on through the night. A dark figure walks through the valley. He smells of death and decay. Darkness surrounds him. He continues until he reaches a small hill.
Necromancer: "The summoning will begin tonight!"
He pauses, then begins casting a spell.
Necromancer: Azar'kajira RA!
A portal opens up. The Necromancer continues chanting in strange language.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the city, a soldier bursts through the door.
Soldier: I wish a moment with Lord Auralius!
Councellor: Just wait a minute. What is your urgent request?
Soldier: Anorath (a powerful mage) has detected a force so great, it tears at the fiber of this world!
Councellor: Hmm... That is urgent. You can meet him in few minutes.
The councellor hurries away. A moment later, a large door opens up. "Come in," says a voice. The soldier enters the throne room.
Inside, is Lord Lucius Dei Auralius sitting on his throne.
Lord Lucius Dei Auralius: I heard from my Councellor that a portal has opened up. Is that true?
Soldier: Yes, it is, my lord.
Auralius: This is very strange. Run back to the barracks, and tell them to send two battalions of soldiers and archers to the location of that portal. Whatever thing is trying to enter this world, don't let it through. You heard me, soldier?
Soldier: Yes, my Lord!
The soldier turns and is about to leave
Auralius: And, soldier?
Soldier stops and turns around.
Lord Lucius Auralius: When you give them the message, take a break, if you're going to be ready for tommorrow.
Soldier: Tommorrow, Sir?
Auralius: Yes. Your first day as lieutenant!
Soldier: Thank you, sir. I'll make you proud!
The soldier leaves and Auralius sighs.
Auralius: I hope so..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on the hill, the Necromancer is still chanting in strange language. Meanwhile, spirits and ghastly shades fly in and out of the portal.
At the foot of the hill stands a captain, with shiny armor, leading two battalions.
Captain: Halt, Necromancer! Stop, or we will be forced to take aggresive action!
Necromancer: There's no stopping for it is now too late.
Captain: I said stop! I'm counting to ten. TEN!
Necromancer: You're making a big mistake, foolish young one.
Captain: Seven! Six!
Necromancer: (Laughs evil [his normal laugh slowly transitions to a deep demonic laugh])
Captain: Three! Two!
The Necromancer dissapates, and the captain is struck by red lightning. The troops, all scramble in wide panic, as the ground benath them begins to erupt in series of jets of flame, spikes, and earthquakes. The portal closes.
???: Mortals despair! Sanity, has just went over the edge, and your doom is certain!
