The dark passageways were full of dreualfar, each one avoiding him. They cowered when he was near, moving away as quick as possible, keeping watch until he was out of sight.

Nezial marched through the catacombs. The smell of dirt and fear caressed his nostrils. He wasn't sure why they feared him. Maybe due to the power that flows through my veins? It doesn’t matter, I have a job to do and they'll help me or be swept away by my prosperity. He rounded the narrow corridor, spotting the elder’s chamber just ahead. Approaching the sealed slabs, he released his power.

The heavy stone exploded, leaving the chamber door open for entry.

The elders were sitting in their chairs, surprised by the intrusion. Many jumped to their feet, watching him storm into the room.

“Nezial, what’s the meaning of this interruption! Do you think these actions will go unpunished?” Elder Khronis jumped in a fit of rage at the intrusion.

“I’ve returned as I said I would.” A wicked smirk formed on his lips.

Nadilia smiled. “I see you've succeeded in your task. This is good, I’m glad that you’ve accepted the mantle set before you.”

Nezial felt a fondness for the vicious old woman. She was just as dangerous as the rest of them, but she had a vision similar to his own. The rest of the elders were petty and acquisitive. He had no purpose for them. “I’ve discovered a great many things since I last stood before you. I now know who I’m searching for and what I must do to free him.”

The chamber filled with whispers, each one attempting to conceal their thoughts from him.

Nezial found it amusing, the efforts they took to hide their motives. The attempt was fleeting, he knew what they were going to say before they did, but it was still entertaining. They were schemers, each one scheming against him, all except Nadilia. The old witch sat quietly, waiting for him to continue.

“It might behoove you to know that I’ve also learned something none of you were aware of.” Nezial interjected, silencing their whispers. “Well, that’s not entirely true. I’ve learned a great many things none of you were aware of. But there’s one thing in particular I wish to share.” He looked over the feeble, so called, Elders, letting his words sink into their ears. “You see, I’m not the scared little pup I was when I left. You might say I’ve matured. I’ve gained more knowledge than this entire council combined and I now have the power to escape age. These two details have made me more than any of you will ever be.” His hand danced, creating an expanding disc of purple energy over the void beneath him. Pacing far beyond the narrow platform, he added to his insubordination. “I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s not me, it’s you. By the rites of our people, I hereby disband this council of elders.” Nezial gave a sadistic smile to each of them. “You’re dismissed!”

The once whispering elders stood, outraged by his insolence.
