Boran-al followed on his heels.
They exited the portal in a dark room. Pitch-black crystal glinted on the walls. It seemed to drink in any surrounding light. Boran-al had been born and molded in darkness; he could see through it easily as they made their way through massive ornate halls, each twenty feet tall and sixty feet wide.
What kind of creatures would make a place such as this? Were these halls made for their size, or because they simply desired it?
Boran-al followed his master without a word.
“As you might have thought, I have been gaining power from sources other than my followers.” The Dark Lord sounded excited. “I found a new source of power and devotions, a much more powerful one.” Twin crystal doors parted with barely a sound, revealing a shining desert beyond, covered in black crystals like the building they were in.
The tower stretched into the sky, making it hard to see how far the odd crystal desert spread.
“Welcome to Alturara, land of the Alturarans, my new followers.” The Dark Lord waved his hand as if to embrace the desert before him.
Boran-al looked down in shock. The crystal desert wasn’t a desert at all but a gathering of Alturarans. Their bellows were like a wall of force, their grating and screeching cheers making Boran-al shudder. He smiled hungrily, his eyes filled with greed and malice.
“I used your citadel’s power to open a portal to these lands and anoint new champions within the Alturarans. They have gathered a loyal following that eagerly devotes their power for my blessings,” the Dark Lord said with pride.
“Master, you are brilliant beyond compare.” Boran-al prostrated himself before his lord and master.
The Alturarans weren’t just creatures; they were organic life that had left behind their forms to grow into crystals. Using their Dark Affinity, they could easily control their much stronger and powerful crystal bodies.
The Dark Lord indicated for Boran-al to rise after a few moments. Boran-al stared over the balcony. He giggled until it turned to laughter. His eyes wandered over the Alturarans. Among them, massive beasts, taking on various forms and ranging from ten stories tall to forty meters long, moved about.
With this army supplying my master power, nothing will stand in our way!
Emerilia will be continued in Stone Raider’s Return.
