The Death of Falnor

From the corner of his eye Falnor watched the crown roll slowly to a halt at Kulas’ feet. In the dim light he could see the tiny bits of hair and tissue still stuck to Zarofs crown, much of it he knew was his own. It had all happened so fast that his shattered mind couldn’t comprehend why the power was not his and why it had not shattered Kulas’ body as it had his. In his last moments of life Falnor watched as his dark skinned companion was wreathed in a shroud of black lightning that stripped his skin from his bones and left him a bloody servant of death. Falnors last thought was “It should have been mine, the power should have been mine…”.

At that moment a lash of black energy struck him and he faded into death. The deamon thrashed and screamed at the powers unleashed by the lich that had forced him into this pittiful world. Suddenly the flow of energy’s changed and the lich was forcing him down into a twisted human form on the dirt floor of the chamber. There was a circle of flesh missing from the bearded humans head and a pile of arrows spread out around it in a pool of dried blood. The daemon roared with rage as it fought the lichs’ power but then it made contact with the dead human and its mind was destroyed in a flash. After what seemed an eternity of darkness Falnor saw a spark of light heading towards him through the void. The light squirmed and twisted away from him but with every passing moment it floated closer until he could make out a vague humanoid form within the light. As the ball of light struck him he was torn from the world of darkness and slammed into a body that was not quite his own anymore. When he looked down with his new eyes he saw that his black skinned hands ended in six inch tallons and his arms were much stronger than he could remember. When he looked up he almost didn’t recognize his old companion Kulas Dar with his staff and his black robes and burning eyes.

“Welcome back to the world of the dead Falnor, you seem to have lost some weight during the change. Come we have much planning to do to reunite the rest of our friends in death.”
