[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 4685605, member: 2012"] [B]The Hordes of the Sword Gods[/B] Teve watched as his army of dark soldiers marched, across the Outlands, in unison with the pounding of rhythmic sound of war drums. He wondered at the flowing pennants showcasing his standard, a black great helm with red glowing eyes on a blood-red field. The god known as The Dark Warrior licked his jagged teeth at the thought of laying low the gods of the Pantheon of the North. He laughed at the thought of burning away the flesh of his enemies’ followers, especially the celestials. He would torment them all. “What is so funny, brother.” Emcey, Teve’s chaotic brother stood next to him looking disgusted. “Just imagining eating the heart of a deva while the creature looks on. I take it that look on your ugly face is meant for my followers.” Teve glared at the Lawbreaker with intense loathing. Teve and Emcey were like opposite sides of the same coin. Both were capable generals with hordes of devoted warrior followers. However, Teve believed in order on the battlefield, while Emcey relished carnage. One lawful, one chaotic, but both loyal, dark gods to Hiisi. That loyalty was the only thing that kept them from each other’s throats. “You have to ask,” Emcey felt sick just looking at the orderly lines of soldiers marching in unison. “How you hope to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies with this rabble, is beyond me.” “Do not forget your place, Emcey!” Teve growled at his younger brother. “I am the War God now, as Amand was before me. Dark Father chose me because he believes in the order I will bring on the battlefield. My order!” “You delude yourself, brother.” Emcey had at least respected Amand. “You were chosen for your dog-like need to please your master.” “Silence!” Teve began to draw his dark, divine weapon. “Hold!” Druaga’s Avatar appeared between the two Dark Children. “Remember you fools, you are suppose to be allies. Hiisi would skin you both if he caught you bickering like this.” “I am the War God, Druaga!” Teve stood defiantly in front of the God of Vile Summoning. “You and your chaotic horde of demons and daemons are mine to command. Although, I would much rather have the services of army of devils. Now, that is true power and order.” “Do not push your luck, whelp.” Druaga stared down the newly appoint War God of the Sword. “You haven’t proven anything yet.” “Ha, you tell him Druaga.” Emcey laughed. “You shut up, you smug little bastard.” Druaga cuffed Emcey for his insolent tongue. “You aren’t any better. Teve is right, you should know your place little god.” Teve smiled but said nothing. “Now, I do hope you have done as your Dark Father has commanded, Emcey. Where is your army of mercenaries?” A horn sounded in the distance. An army of the most brutish and vile mercenaries ever seen came into view. They rode huge beasts of war and marched in a ragged mass of chaos. No two sentient beings wore the same colors. It was a beautiful sight to the Lawbreaker. “My warriors have to go into battle with that ragtag mob?” Teve shook his head in disgust. “Bite your tongue, Teve. Good mercenaries are hard to buy.

The two Sword Gods ordered their generals to push the gathering horde of soldiers and mercenaries to move faster. They would march their followers to death before risking the wrath of their Dark Father. [/QUOTE]
