Deep within Steingard, Emperor Hanzo Yen closed all the curtains in his room and locked the doors. He informed the guards outside, "no one enters until I exit or they're dead. Understand?"
The two men saluted, "yes, my liege."
Hanzo returned to his room, hit a secret switch on his bookcase and entered an ordinary room with a summoning circle on the floor.
Hanzo cut his hand, and blood poured on the circle. Hanzo healed his own hand using magic. This was not something widely known, but should be. His wife is an elf, of course she taught him magic and taught him how to slow his aging.
"Van Eso De Sah Com Qua," Hanzo stated.
"May the god of Darkness appear."
Within seconds, the god in all black, with the mask with X on it appeared.
"And why have you summoned me? Do you not have this world on its knees?"
"SilverCrest, King Charles, General Igor have all fallen to these annoying elves. Please grant me more poor or intellect on how to best handle the situation?"
