Necropolis and Leo make their way to an abandoned shack, where a third person waits for them. This person is surrounded by a swirl of clouds and light, as well as smog and momentary blackouts. Their voice is unidentifiable as female or male as they speak.
"You have done well, but we must wait before we attack the final kingdom, so that greed may make them and they spread out to conquer the now empty lands. That, is when we will strike. For now, there is only one thing left for you to do. We've identified the two champions, one's disappearance from the kingdom of Delain did not go unnoticed; Captain Karmann, yadda yadda, lots of titles. The other is a well trained female named Avira Merzone. Avira is a crack shot, but stay on your toes and you should be fine. As for Karmann, he's not overly dangerous, but he's quite annoying to kill, so you must confirm the time of death or he'll probably live."
Leo cracks his knuckles and tips his head from side to side, popping his neck as well.
"Let's do this thing, I love the nonstop action!"
Necropolis simply bows, his eyes stopped glowing at about the time of the explosion.
"I wonder... Will the people in Delain... be alright?... I don't want to kill... I just want... to be... loved... and remembered... as the dead... ought to be..."
The apparition reaches out and the storm clouds part to reveal a gloved hand that rests on Necropolis' shoulder.
"Remember Necropolis, for progress... In the new world, the dead can live among us, there will be no forgetting. As for the people in Delain, rest assured; if anyone has died, their blood will be on our hands."
Necropolis doesn't seem content with that, but he nods and puts his own hand over his chest.
"For progress..."
Leo scoffs, flicking his hair to the side again.
"Okay, emotional pair, you've had your fun, I still don't know what's in it for me."
The apparition raises it's own hand and lightning jumps out of it, shocking the metal nails and such and lighting up the room.
"This is the first time in nearly a millennia that we have walked among mortals, so we still do not know what you mean by ''What's in it for you''. However, we believe that the closer we come to success, the more we understand. In the New World, there will be no magic, or at least no one that can tap into it. This will make you the only sorcerer in the land, which also means that you will be the most powerful being alive. Is this what you meant Leo?"
Leo's entire body starts on fire with excitement as he cheers.
"HELL YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WANNA HEAR!"
"Then you two know your mission. Remember what can be gained, and for the last time, don't fight each other. We have too much at stake here to fall apart. We'll see you at the final rendezvous point. For progress!"
"FOR PROGRESS BABY!"
"For progress..."
The apparition disappears into a bolt of lightning rising from the ground to the sky.
(That was a long one :V)
