When the old rotted corpse of Felsbine cmae rushing out from the book, Epotheros' right arm imediatly begain to throb in pain. It was as if he had just stuck his arm in a blacksmith's furnace full of red hot coals, embers and sharp pieces of iron. Epotheros clenched his fists as well as his teeth as he tried to cope with the pain. Slowly it begain to subside and Epotheros was able to studder the words, "Torin,... do you think you can teleport us to the gates.... I believe we are done here." Epotheros at that time had a feeling that something wicked would happen at the academy in a short period of time and he saw it fit to get his team as far away as possible, he then warned Torin, "Please keep an eye out for anything unusual, you do not know if Zant will try to attack this place."

((Sorry, guys. I didn't have time to tell you that i'm on a ten day trip and I don't know when i'll ever be on. This is the first time in three days.))
It seemed they would be leaving soon, so Ty spoke up quickly.
"Sir Torin, Can I have this book?"
Ty felt almost pathetic having to ask to take it, but it felt the right thing to do.

Tramer noticed as as Epotheros clenched his fist it looked as thou he was in agonizing pain and the tone of his voice as he spoke only confirmed it. Tramer new it had to have something to do with the mask shards and Felsbine, Tramer new if the shards were reacting to Felsbine the result could not be good “Torin I agree we are done here, Teleport them out of the academy grounds” Tramer said as he approached Torin keeping a close eye on the Felbine
Troin walked up to the book and quickly closing it, forcing Felsbine back into the book “you now have seen a glimpse of what Zant could become if he is not stopped” Torin said in a firm voice. Torin then walked up to Ty “Obsidian was a close friend of mine but you are of his blood, as far as im concerned you have far more of a right to it than I” Torin said before turning to face the entire group “ok I will teleport you all just out side of the academy grounds, now I will have to teleport you thou several magical barriers, so this might fell a bit……..odd” Torin said knowing how painful it was to be teleported though such barriers. Torin razed both his hands and held them out toward the group palms open, a strange light engulfed the group and then everyone except for Tramer vanished and reappeared in the forest surrounding the academy. Torin seeing that everyone but Tramer had been teleported without incident approached Tramer “before you go I must tell you a few things I didn’t what the rest of your party knowing” Torin said before turning away from Tramer “Empothros very well might turn on you, did you see how he reacted to Felsbine’s dark power……..Zant is using your friend in more than one way” Torin said “I just need to know one thing…..if the time comes and Epotheros falls under the influence of the mask or Zant will you be able to do what you must, will you be able to kill him” Torin said turning back tword Tramer
Tramer was thrown off by Torin’s questions and didn’t know how to answer “I, I don’t know…” Tramer said onistly not knowing if he could bring himself to kill Empotheros “and I wont know until the time comes when I must face that choice” Tramer said in a calm voice
“good you are learning well” Torin said in a content voice “something is coming, something evil, your friend Empotheros could fell it and that is why he wanted everyone teleported off the academy grounds….the counsel just sent orders to have the guards to report to them so in a mater of minuets the academy will be almost completely unprotected” Torin said in a quiet voice “this confirms my theory that the council has been corrupted” Torin said angrily
“so what are you planning on doing” Tramer asked
“for some resion I suspect Zant is behind this, so I will what in my tower and let him come to me” Torin said looking down to the ground “I am not the young man I once was, I know that but I will show Zant I still hold some power” Torin said
As Torin spoke Tramer saw a fire in his eyes he had never seen before “you can not take Zant on alone, or anyone that could corrupt the council for that mater, if you are to stay and fight so shall I” Tramer said as he walked up to Torin “we shall face this evil together” Tramer said in a calm voice
“I have ordered the few battle mages loyal to me alone to report to my tower, we should meet them” Torin said, as he did a light engulfed both him and Tramer as the light subsided both of them appeared inside of Torin’s study back in the room the group had been teleported into the library.
Tramer grasped the hilt of his swords as he saw four others in the room
“Tramer these are the mages I summoned here, you need not fear them” Torin said as he approached one of the mages
Tramer closely examined the mages, three of them were men and one a woman, all of them were tall and slender, one of the men had a battle axe hanging off his back, another held a spear in his hand, the last man had no visible weapons that Tramer could see, a long sword hung form the woman’s waste. “hello my friends” Tramer said making a bowing motion
“here is Rorin, Birowk, Narow, and Ansara” Torin said as he motion his hands tword the mages
Ansara approached Tramer “so I see it was you that stole the blades” Ansara said with a bit of intrigue in her voice “you helped him” she said as she faced Torin with a mischievous smirk on her face
“we are not here to discuses who stole what or who helped who, we are here to figure out and stop what ever the council is planning” Torin said as he took a seat in his char “all we can do for now is sit and what to see what is coming” Torin said as he gestured to everyone to take a set
((sorry for the long absence sweatdrop ))

Shortly after the four entered the room that was occupied by Torin and Tramer another pressence was felt. One that made the room pulsate with a heavy feeling, causing the six to feel as though they were staning neck deep in water. At the opposing side of the room a black mist formed into the shape of theman know as Zant. He stood there in a menecing manner his arms weighted with two eldely men dressed in robes and what seemed to be thousands of small puncture wounds on the surface of their skin.
"Ah, greetings Sir Torin," Zant said in a mock tone, "I want to thank you for opening up my old master's book which allowed me the few moments of time to go on a small killing spree consiting of two high mages that did not agree with my counsel," he then threw the two men he held in either hand forward onto the floor by Torins feet, "and the twelve battle mages that served under them." He then smiled with a wicked grin, "I would prefer though to make it an even twenty," he said referencing the six people in the room besides him. "It would also be rather ideal if I could have my book, if you don't mind that is, even though my question is one that serves as only a courtousy to you."

When Epotheros and the others were transported outside the front gates, he imediatly noticed that Tramer did not follow. "He must have some issue to speak over with Torin," Epotheros thought to himself. He then made his way over to Clover and asked her, "I think wise if we should figure out a way to travle from here to your village."

Torin looked at the two dead men laying at his feet “both good men, I always had a hard time believing they had been corrupted” Torin said as he looked up to Zant, staring into his dark eyes “I have opened and read though that book many times, something help you to get in, but it was not the power of your former master” Torin said in a content voice
The three mages held there weapons at the ready whetting for Zant to strike
Tramer unsheathed his swords but something didn’t fell right the swords were poring energy into Tramer in amounts Tramer had never conserved almost as if the swords were afraid “Torin, if he wants the book we cannot let him have it” Tramer said as he stepped in-between Torin and Zant
Torin nodded to Tramer and walked over to his desk were he quickly wrote a note “protect this stone with your life’s for if it falls into the wrong hands disaster will befall us all” the not said, Torin then grabbed the stone were the library was located inside, he then closed his eyes and mumbled something no one could make out, as he did the stone vanished from his hands “you might kill us but you shall not get what you seek” Toin said in a mocking tone as he grabbed an old staff with a strange red crystal attached to the top that was lining up agents the desk. Torin looked into the stone that was attached to his staff I wish you were all here with me, but in death grant me your straight Torin thought to himself as he thought back about his old friends. Torin then looked toward Tramer and the others “get out of here, the academy has fallen, the council is corrupt, it is up to you to preserve the secrets of magic you have been taught” Torin said knowing in his old age he stood little chance agents Zant
Tramer stood his ground “im not going anywhere” Tramer said simply not taking his eyes off of Zant
Roin, Birowk, Narow and Asara all held there ground as well
Torin looked down to the ground and aimed his staff at Asara, a strange light engulfed Rorin, Birowk, Narow, Tramer and Ansara
Tramer new what Torin was doing and would not alow it, Tramer at the last secont jumped out of the light and rolled to the side
Torin finished his spell and the four mages vanished. Toin cursed as Tramer evaded his spell “YOU FOOL!!” Torin yelled in an angry voice before bringing his attention to Zant “you will soon find I may be old but I am not weak” Toin said as he grasped his staff
“we will fight and defieat him together” Tramer said as he took a battle stance pointing both swords at Zant
Meanwhile the stone that holds the library appeared in front of Clover with the note Torin had wrote sitting on top of it, only minuets later the four mages appeared right next to were the stone had appeared
"Torin, you fool" Rorin yelled out in frustration and stabbed his spear into the ground before noticing Clover, Epotheros and Ty
The three other mages walked up behind Rorin and keep a close eye on the group in front of them
Tramer was being overwhelmed with the power coming form the swords and was still trying to figure out what was casing the swords to react like this could it be Zant? Tramer thought to himself as he prepared for Zant to make the first move

"Well, well. Do you think you will stand a chance against me? It took me less than two minutes to dispose of the others." He then raised hid right arm and extended it worward towards the two. His ring and pinky were curled back whilst his midlle and indext were extended forward. "Torin, you are about to feel the level 90 black magic spell that was banned and erased from history over two thousand years ago. The only knowledge of it remains in the minds of a few high mages, two of which were just killed by it. You may of heard of it but I am the only one who knows it and with you old and frail body you'll end up like the others unable to defend yourself."
Zant the said the words, "Midnight Funeral," as four black orbs the surrounded Tramer and Torin in a square shape. Zant knew that Torin would either have to save himself or Tramer, because the only chance he would have to react and push Tramer out of harms way was to know what was comming and act before the purple lines that conected the spears of dark energy appeared only milla seconds after the sphears. After the lines had appeared and compleated the square, four pitch black walls arose from the lines creating a gigantic box with six menacing planes of darkness. The seemingly smooth surfaces begain to ripple before an innumerable number of needle like structures jutted from the surfaces as five ebony great swords appeared and lunged them selves in each of the five visible sides.
((Aurgh I cant seem to play Zant without giving him some type of auto-hit, though I think in this one I beat around a bit and it came out pretty well int erms of not munching, but then again it is Zant and at this point in time he can basically do what ever the hell he wants.))

“I was one of the people that killed your predecessor, and in the book he now is I have learned well the secrets of dark magic, do not underestimate me so!” Torin said forcefully as he razed his staff, the crystal on the top began to glow brightly, as it did the box of darkness began to fracture, the crystal on the top of his staff began to resonate and then both the box and the crystal shattered. Torin slumped over putting all his weight on his staff. Torin had let himself forget about his age and the strain of stopping such a powerful spell had taken everything he had and then some. Torin looked over at Tramer “get out of here” Torin said before falling to the floor not having any straight left to hold himself up im defiantly not the young man I once was Torin thought to himself as he struggled to stay conches
Tramer ignored Torin and stepped in-between Torin and Zant swords at the ready “if today is my day to die, so be it” Tramer said as he lifted his sword over his head and then swung them down toward Zant. As he did he felt something in his mind something he did not recognize, “GORTORI FORZAR!!” Tramer yelled not even knowing the spell he had just cast, as he did his swords erupted in white flames, as Tramer finished his swing and the swords touched the ground a wave of white fire headed toward Zant, as the wave of fire got about five feet from Zant it split into two and formed a cercal around him, once the cercal was complete strange runes formed beneath Zant that glowed brightly, ropes of white fire came out of the runes raping around Zant before a long sword made of the same white fire rose up and pointed in toward Zant, the sword then shot forward toward Zant’s chest. Tramer watched in amazement as the spell worked, Tramer didn’t even know this spell much less have the straight to use it what in the world is going on Tramer thought to himself as he watched the spell not having an idea what it was going to do. Tramer felt the power of the swords rushing thou his body in ever increasing amounts, but at the same time there was something else, something Tramer could quite put his finger on what it was, but it seemed to be growing more and more noticeable as more of the swords power flooded Tramer‘s body. Tramer new Zant would not be killed so easily so he prepared to counter Zant’s next spell, as he watched the sword of white fire rush in at Zant
Torin watched as Tramer fought Zant but he saw what was truly happening , Torin tried to find the straight to yell out to Tramer and warn him but could not, all he could do was watch in hoarer as events unfolded, and Tramer slipped further and further under the influence of the swords, Torin new Tramer could hold the swords off but if Zant did anything to throw off the balance of power he new Tramer might lose control, and Torin new if Zant sensed what was happening he would be shore take advantage of the situation
((if there is any problems with this just PM me and I’ll edit it

Ty had been granted access to keep the book, and was teleported outside with their small party, minus Tramer.
Just as four possible mages appeared near the group Ty faded out, leaving no trace of where he had gone.
He had to put the journal in a safe place...and what better place than his home.

Chills attacking Clovers body faded away as the group minus Torin and Tramer were teleported away. Her bearings were off as her feet fought for balance. Once Clover gained control of her senses once again her mind registered Epotheroses statement laced with questioning. "Well, I guess we should be off then, but I'm not sure how to get there from here. It's near the east end of the Hestian River. Do you know of it?" When Clover's words had seised a stone appeared before her. What's this she thought as her hands grasped around it and her memory took her back to stone Torin had used to take them to the library. After reading the note she stowed the stone away in her traveling satchel at her waist right before four figures materialized from thin air.
"Err, Ello," left Clover's mouth before she could think. Curiosity had taken the best of her. She wanted to know where these people had come from and why they were standing in front of their group with such protective demeanors.

The figure named Zant was trapped in a circle of white flames, tied down by a simular material in the form of either ropes or chains as well as being impailed by a sword. Though all this was in motion Zant stood there with a menecing grin on his face. After the attack was fulfilled Zant faded away only to leave one of his short curved swords in the center of it. As it disappeared a rush of air, sharp like a razor blad slid under Tramer's arms, with the intention of severing the tendons and making them usless in battle. Zant then casually walked from where he appeared from behind TRamer, towards Torin unsheathing his other sword. "I see you had to use much of your remaining life force to block the attack, to bad it only postponed your death for a few moments." Zant then raised a barrier around him and Torin before placing the tip of his blade just above Torin's sternum, drawing it back and then thrusting it forward.

Tramer barely managed to hold onto his swords as Zant slit the tendons on the bottom of his arms. Tramer turned and watched in hoarer as he saw Zant standing over Torin.
Torin had managed to regain enough straight to look up at Zant “you as you master before you and his master before him, will fall” Torin said as Zant’s sword impaled him, Torin didn’t show any singes of pain but only had a content expiration on his face iv lived to long anyways, its time for me to rejoin my friends Torin thought to himself before the light in his eyes died away and his body went limp
Tramer yelled out in anger as he saw Zant impel Torin, suddenly the force Tramer had sensed earlier grew stronger, and the pain form the severed tendons faded away. Tramer grasped his swords tightly and ran toward the barrier Zant had created, Tramer swung his swords at he barrier, as they impacted sparks of energy arched off the barrier “coward!! Come out and fight me like a man” Tramer yelled “URIS CORIN” Tramer said once agin not even knowing the spell he was casting, suddenly four circles of pure darkness formed on the ground, out of them rose tactical like appendages that lunged in at the barrier drilling there way thou the barrier this of the dark arts Tramer thought to himself wondering what in the world was going on and how he had just use black magic
