Birth of the Dark One

50

Shouts come from below you as your Itikar flies upwards and out of the roof's opening. Looking down, you see an interesting sight. Rune Fire, the Supreme Kai Master is staring up at you. He has followed you not only since you landed, but ever since you left your quarters this morning. He is not one to take chances at letting Naar's desires become a reality, and has spent every last iota of his skill in tracking and destroying you. Only by a great deal of luck and the watchful eye of Naar and the power of Lakaast have you escaped his attentions. He has barely missed your departure this morning. His ambush failed and you have barely escaped his clutches. Staring upwards at you, he shakes his fist swearing that he will find and destroy you.

Then as you fly over the remaining portion of the enemy camp, he is gone. They see you unexpectedly, never thinking you would be able to control an Itikar to make your escape. You victoriously ride the wind past the enemy--past their lookouts and onward.

While you fly you must eat a Meal. Hunting will not aid you in mid-flight. If you do not eat a Meal, you lose 3 Endurance points.

The wind feels strange on your face. You have never been outside of Helgedad, and the feel of fresh air and nature's own environment is one you have never experienced. Though uncomfortable, you have no difficulties, but resolve to change this environment as soon as you have the power to do so.

Flying onward, you soon arrive at the ruins of Aarnak and the waiting form of Goragik. Looking down at her waiting form, you know that when you land she will herald a new adventure and a new quest. Eagerly you approach anxious to continue you journey. For you it has just begun. To continue you quest and accept the challenge of the next step of your rise as Naar's ultimate champion--the Dark One, read the next adventure in the Enemies of Lone Wolf saga entitled:
