[QUOTE="Ampolitor, post: 2134102, member: 11758"] [b]next,, no opinions people![/b] The raw magic and dark essence seeped deep into the ground. A few of the Tuatha who were too close became infected, the lucky ones died right away the others ran off howling in pain as their skin smoked and bubbled. They were transformed and twisted into creatures of the dark and of nightmares. The dark essence and magic transformed these creatures into pure abominations that retreated deep into the underworld hiding from the sun. These creatures became to be known as the Unholy as the Tuatha called them. The Skyrmir however could not defeat the Malacerbus, they were beaten back but not before they took many of the dark creatures with them.
