[QUOTE="Delgar, post: 5723275, member: 3195"] Here was the player's first real interaction with his patron: [I]You're floating in a sea of nothingness, it's dark and cold and feels empty. You feel a large slimy tentacle brush upside your face. A sharp pain races through your head. Now your floating above what looks like another version of yourself and a wretched desiccated female. Vol! The two are locked in battle. Your companions lie dead on the floor. You knock aside spells with your magical blade and Vol dodges out of the way of your vicious blows. She mocks you, she taunts you, you thrust your blade deep in her chest. You smile thinking victory is at hand. Vol laughs as she slides down the blade towards you, her hands grasp each side of your head. You scream in pain and drop to your knees. "Fool!" Vol laughs, "did you really think YOU could destroy me?" You loose your grip on the blade, blood begins pouring from your mouth and eyes. "I beat you before, and I'll destroy you again foolish Deva, but this time your soul is mine. She places a dragonshard to your forhead and you scream in pain, the shard begins to glow and then you slump on the floor. Then you're back floating in a sea of nothingness.[/I] [B]Strange Alien Voice[/B]: That is your fate Mathas, if you do not accept my aid. Your companions will die and you will suffer a fate worse than death. I can aid you though Mathas I can grant you the power you will need to defeat Vol. As your patron I can teach you and show you many things. Let me aid you Deva. [I]Off in the distance you can hear a faint feminine voice, but can't make out what it's saying[/I] [B]Mathas[/B]:This cannot be... Not again. My friends. *growls* Never! This time must be different. IT WILL BE! I must have vengeance for those who died before, and the countless times I've failed before. Show me what you will, Voice, I accept your aid. Vol must be destroyed at all costs. VENGEANCE WILL BE MINE! What must I do? [I]Still floating in an endless sea you can see a tiny pin prick of light off in the distance. You barely hear the echo of a feminine voice. "Mathas, you don't....look to... Past...the future...not...in stone...don't give....Mathas..." the voice fades into the background.[/I] [I]The tentacle rests under your chin and lifts up your face[/I]. [B]Strange Alien Voice[/B]: you have made a wise decision Mathas you will not regret your choice. I will show you the true meaning of power and together we will destroy Vol and punish my children in the process. You have made the first step my child and as your patron you may call upon my aid in the future. Because I exist on another plane my aid will remain limited but in due time we will change that together. [B]Mathas[/B]: What do I call you? [B]Strange Alien Voice[/B]: I am known as Chemosh [/QUOTE]
