<span style="color: #808000">"Let them plot! Let them conceive whatever plan their hopeful minds can create! It will do them no good. In the end, I shall rule this pitiful world and they will all know me as their true master. They are fools to think they can stop it and even more foolish to think that they can stand up to the might of my power." Dardanos, full of rage and angst, paces back and forth in his main chamber as he shouts at the voices within the walls...or is it his mind...that continue to mock him. "But that child...that insolent child Eira. SHE...she alone is the one that worries me. As long as she stands against me my plans are at risk."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #008080">"If the ice queen does not submit to the darkness then we must kill her,"</span>speaks the voice of the ever present darkness, barely a whisper that haunts the room.<br/><br/><span style="color: #808000">"Even if I wanted to, I must have that special tool to do so. But I do not wish to end her life. She would serve better by my side so that no force could ever hope to stand against us. Ruling alone, I could foresee endless battle after endless battle as the other kingdoms will never truly surrender to me. But with the ice queen with me, they would have no choice. Yes, I could exterminate all the other inhabitants of all the other kingdoms, but I do not wish for such things."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #008080">"It is not your wishes nor your desires that you are to be concerned with, Dardanos. You serve the darkness...you serve ME. If the other kingdoms will not submit willingly to my control then you WILL kill them all. You wish for a kingdom to rule over with followers to do your bidding. I wish for nothing so trivial, just for absolute darkness and I will have it regardless of whose blood has to be spilled in the process. And that queen of yours is just the vessel I need to accomplish my goal but even she will fall if she must. The ability to do what needs to be done is something you pathetically lack and I will not tolerate it."</span><br/><br/>Dardanos stops his pacing and shakes his head in an attempt to make the voice go away but feels its presence still,<span style="color: #808000"> "Unfortunately for you, you are still stuck within my body and within my mind. Thus, you are my prisoner just as the former ice queen, and until you take over my being completely, you will be at my mercy."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #008080">"Remember those words when I take over completely and torment your soul for eternity."</span>The voice disappears finally, leaving Dardanos feeling a bit relieved.<br/><br/>A few moments of standing still is followed by the dark master bringing forth two wraiths in front of him, manifesting from the darkness that fills the room,<span style="color: #808000">"Hear my words slaves and do exactly as I tell you. You are to go out into the world and find General Stavros. Tell him that his master calls for him to return immediately."</span>The two soulless creatures nod their heads and leave their master as they go to complete their task.
