[QUOTE="megamania, post: 754293, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 025 “Reghast” Drenz had survived the attack of the ½ Giant army. At least that’s what he told his overseer. He was barely injured, most of the damage from falling down a rocky dune in a blind run. The news impressed his overseer. Jaxza immediately ran to tell his overseer of the news. Drenz felt a promotion coming. Maybe his choise of females. Yes, that would be fine to Drenz. Someone broke his hedonenistic thoughts by calling him repeatedly then swatting him on his haunched over back. He was requested to go to the stone house! Drenz pictured females and shiney things were his. Then the realization set in….he was going to see Reghast. He knew little for sure of Reghast. He had never seen the mysterious leader. He had heard enough rumors to know this was for the best. No, Drenz’ luck may have run out. Rumors had it that Reghast was not a gith. He was something else. Not better…just something else. Something powerful and unstopable. He had bested several chieftans and shamans in the past few months. Rumors had it that he ate his defeated foes. Eating one’s foes was not unheard of in times of poor food supplies…but Reghast did this when food was plenty. Drenz fears Reghast. Walking through the joined camps, Drenz recognized three gith tribes besides his own, the Sand Howlers. He saw Blue Bones. He saw Black Bloods. And he saw his tribes enemy- the Crimson Tooth. There was little trust between the four tribes. There was even open hatred between some. It was only Reghast and his terrible power and might that controlled the tribes. The same gith person he was about to see. The stone house was buried in a massive sand dune. It resembled a similar stone house he went into before. It had an evil spirit within….a banshee his overseer called it. Many brothers died fighting it. Whenever it was defeated, it would return the next night to kill brother gith again. It did not have what Reghast was looking for. Stone columns held the sand away from the doors. Inside were stone rooms decorated with monsters and humans. Something other than a banshee was here also. Reghast tried to kill it but couldn’t. Reghast instead chased it away. Reghast became more powerful than ever. Now he searches the stone house, looking for secrets and power. Now I go here. Drenz was lead through the front entrance, past the columns. Inside was darkness. No lights, no torches. Reghast demanded this after chasing away the creature that lived inside. His will was done. The first room had supplies captured from human females in above ground forts. Further in were secret things only Reghast understood. No other gith was permitted to touch most of this secret stuff. Drenz makes a few turns then arrives to a room with a pool of water within it. Light comes from the pool. The two other gith that led Drenz here quickly go back and close the door. Drenz sees nothing else within the room. “Well?” a cold chilling voice says from everywhere. “What news do you have for me?” Drenz looks everywhere but sees nothing. He feels something crawl quickly over his bare feet. He steps back quickly and repeatedly until his back touches the wall. A scittering sound can be heard but not placed. “Well?” loudly is the question repeated. Drenz looks about and notices the fllor is moving….no…crawling! The floor is covered with centipedes and bugs. “Ahhhhh!” A strong arm seems to come from no where and holds him by the pointed chin. “Tell me of the army…the ½ Giant army!” red pinlights appear before him. “Tell me before my pets grow too hungry to command and control!” Drenz can not help himself. He tells Reghast the Horrible everything. How it was a few humans with only 2 ½ Giants that defeated him and his tribe. If a gith could cry, Drenz surely would have. Reghast scitters back and thinks about what he has been told. “Thankyou little githling…now for your reward….” Drenz screams. And screams….and no third scream can be heard but in his mind. Reghast stares at the mound of vermin before him thinking to himself. “The humans come……” [/QUOTE]
