The Lord of Darkness sat on his throne, a chilling Lizard's skull with
excess bones forming a chair.

Wilma sat cross legged on the floor. Both of them stared out the window
looking over the forsaken land, and the now deserted town of Shadowbrooke.

"They all fled." he said.

Wilma remained silent. She herself had a lot on her mind. So many
questions,
so many memories of her sister.

"I let them flee." continued the Lord of Darkness. The awakening of the
spirit of Bacca was much more rewarding..."

"And what will be the fate of Tim?" asked Wilma, suddenly.

The Lord of Darkness chuckled.

"Let us just say that I am a horrible person." he said. Then he fell
silent.

For the longest time all was silent.

Finally, the Lord of Darkness spoke up.

"I recall a fellow named Tyrquah. He lived in the woods to the lands west of
here many moons ago."

Wilma nodded.

"Tyrquah is you, correct?"

The Lord of Darkness chuckled.

"Ah yes, I forgot. All I told Schala you've heard."

For awhile more, all was silent, then...

"Tyrquah was me, yes. He was a hunter, esteemed. At the same time, a rival
tribe had a fellow named Guroos. The two tribes were enemies, Guroos and I
were enemies."

"Rktktos was a member of the so called lost tribe, the cannabalistic tribe
of Lizar that we only knew as the Night Stalkers. However, the story as I
told Schala was somewhat exagerated..."

Wilma sat up, eyeing him.

"'twas about this time that warfare was going on between the newly born
humans and the Reptites. The Lizard God himself knew what was to occur, and
had been preparing for his so called demise."

"Rktktos and a few of his comrades invaded both Guroos and mine tribes,
stealing a few of the elderly. Us, being great heros, chased after them,
each with the intent of slaying the other at the right moment. However,
while we slew Rktktos comrades as our own baked in the flames, an
apparation appeared, telling us we were to be his so called acolytes, if we
so desired."

"Thus, Guroos, myself and Rktktos each took an aspect of the Lizard God, and
supposedly we were to keep this world orderly until his return. As time
went on, we realized we each had been given a different outlook on
existance. I saw all the cruelty and found it's importance in nature, while
Guroos, still my enemy, overlooked the importance of cruelty and warfare,
prefering to see disipline and good naturedness as the main element in
existance. Rktktos was the most lucky of us, and he was able to see both
sides."

"So, we finally decided to take our positions. Tyrquah became Thanatos, Lord
of Darkness. Guroos became Loltrek, Champion of Light, and Rktktos became
Rktktos the Grey."

"So..." cut in Wilma. "With the Lizard God returned, are you prepared to
hand the world back?"

The Lord of Darkness laughed.

"Not in the least."
