this is my tribute (aka what I would have done had the thread not died) to the unfortunately dead thread here:

He stood over the bodies of his once comrades in chaos, the sorcerer cackling as the precious scroll pumped more power into him. A dying voice called out to him "Arctuierius...why? We could have shared the power *hack* and we would be unstoppable!" Arctuierius replied "Heraklaeon, ha ha ha, you foolish man, you see I never was a bumbling fool, that river incident, that was to make you think I was a buffoon! I wanted to kill you first but now that I have devastated the guard, the daemonhunters, and even your supposedly powerful men. I see that killing you last will be the most fun I will ever have!" He pauses for a moment and looks out the window. "Now my friend you will see that all can be changed in a matter of ten seconds, and watch as this world is reset to zero, as we... count...back....from.....ten"
"...Ten.."
"Ten buildings explode violently,"
"...Nine.."
"Nine dead servants of chaos, all from my wrath."
"...Eight.."
"Eight Spells I have learned"
"...Seven.."
"The number of daemons at my side."
"...Six.."
"Six minutes was the time it took to kill the guard."
"...Five.."
"Five times you all insulted me."
"...Four.."
" "mistakes" I made ha ha"
"...Three.."
"three times you tried at my death"
"...two.."
"sorcerers Talking."
"...One.."
"Is dying."
A huge explosion is heard, and then seen shattering the city. Buildings and all but engulfed in the blue flame, the few people left standing are vaporized.
"...Zero"
End
I have decided that since I enjoy writing from a madman's point of view so very much, that a proper prequel for Arctuierius will be in order soon.
