Jihad - The Call
It were late in the evening as I arrived at
the Healing Wound
Inn
in Westbridge, after a rough day. I fell down in the Jacuzzi, and tired
as hell I almost immediately fell asleep. It was then when I heard a voice.
I opened my eyes and saw a bright light. My eyes, which just got used to
the dark, were blinded by it for a while. And then I heard the voice again,
this time more clear: "Come to me, warrior,
for I must show you something." I rubbed my
eyes again and again, and slowly my vision returned. Slowly, the shape
of a large man appeared before my eyes. On first sight he looked quite
ordinary, but as I examined him more closely, I noticed he wasn't standing
on the ground. He was floating about one meter above the Jacuzzi, and a
bright shining aura surrounded him. Wondering why nothing made a sound
in the always crowded Inn, I looked around, and noticed there was nobody
but me and the strange man. Curious as I were, I walked towards him to
obtain a better look at his face. His eyes were shining with a bright light,
piercing through me as if he was reading what I thought. I shuddered a
little as I realised what a powerful man was standing in front of me, as
he spoke to me again: " Give me a hand if
you want me to show you." " Show me what?"
was
I gonna ask, but something forced me to lift my arm and give him a hand.
Suddenly, everything turned black.
Now it were just me and him floating in some sort of dark
void. Nothing to see but him and me. "
Who are you?" I asked. On which he answered: "
You shall know me as the Apprentice."
As sudden as it all became dark, we were floating above the Great
Realms.
On such an altitude I could see Westbridge and New Thalos in one view.
The man who called himself the Apprentice
lifted his arm as he pointed towards a point in the distance. "Do
you see that man?" he asked, and I stared
far in the distance to see anything. And there I saw him, a young man.
But as I stared and stared to recognise him, I saw a second man as well.
"Who
is it?" I asked, "And
who is the other man I see there?""The young
man is me, a long time ago." said the
Apprentice.
"The
other man is Ao,
my former master and teacher when I created the Great
Realms."
"You
created the Great
Realms?",
I said with unbelief in my voice. "You've
still got a lot to learn Warrior," the Apprentice
spoke. "Ao
is an elder god with enormous power." As I
poked myself to be sure I were awake, we suddenly were not floating in
a void anymore. We were standing on a huge Rock. "
This", said the
Apprentice
as I looked around me, "This is what you are
calling RaGnaRoK." I gasped as I noticed where
I was standing on, and the Apprentice
continued: "RaGnaRoK doesn't come from nowhere
nor without reason. I created it to be send at and destroy, All beings,
all life, everything in the Great
Realms
if times would come in which evil would overrun good." "Evil
overrun good?" I asked, "Why
are you showing me this?" "Be
patient warrior, be patient.", the
Apprentice
said, as he nodded in the direction of the two men in the distance who
clearly were fighting. They were so far away from us that I could barely
see them with my farsight, But I could feel their power all the way overhere.
Huge blasts of tremendous
power
took our sight over and over again. Each time their power seemed to be
greater and greater. "What the hell are they
doing?" I asked, "Do
they intend to blow up the entire Realms?"
