(All of your resilience has been restored.) You wake up from a nightmarish dream filled with demons chasing you in the darkness, when you feel hot blasts of wind pressing against your cheeks and bare skin. Eyes fluttering open, you look up and stare around you in horror, as you begin to realise where you are. The walls, floor and ceiling emit thin trails of black smoke that scorch the air, warming the stone blocks beneath you. Hastily getting to your feet, you stare about the vast circular chamber with columns that reach up to ceiling, and disappear into a cloud of dark smoke. Making you wonder, what could do such a thing. The columns beside you depict strange scenes of battles between demons and the creatures that inhabit Coroleya. And as your eyes further adjust to the gloom, you see your companions tied up not far behind you, their mouths gagged staring at you in blind terror, with Dywin shaking his head up and down, as if he's trying to warn you of something.

Trembling a little at thought of what he could possible be so scared of, you slowly turn back around and immediately see the reason for your companion's horror stricken faces. For sitting upon a throne of purest black obsidian stone is the most gorgeous woman you've ever seen. Her long red hair draping her perfect skin, and her tight fitting black armor complimenting her well-formed physique. But that is not what terrifies you so. It's the thousands upon thousands of mangled corpses that lie piled up right behind her in great big heaping bloody mounds that have washed the stone floors in a tidal wave of blood that sends a quiver of fear down your spine. Not to mention the huge, muscular demon with wide shoulders and forearms the size of tree trunks standing by her side. It's bare red skin glistening with sweat, and penetrating yellow eyes glaring at you maliciously with evil intent.

Steeling yourself for battle, your hands instinctively move to the weapon at your side and to your surprise you find that they have not disarmed you. Unsure what game she is playing with you. You draw your weapon and you see her smile in response, revealing sharp white fangs. You also see the large demon behind her, unfold his leather wings and draw a smoking black blade of deepest midnight. Still smiling, she speaks softly in a light lilting tongue that entices your every sense, "There's no need for that my warrior. I have a proposal for you that I think you'll find most pleasing. Put your weapon away, before Kralzark becomes angry."

Having felt her power and what she is a capable of, you sheathe your weapon, and pray that you've made the right decision. Kralzark's eyes flare blue in disappointment. "I'm glad to see, you are not as foolish as your brethren here." Waving her hands behind her to the disfigured corpses of your people. She then slowly stands up and glides over towards you, her bodyguard not far behind you. She lays a smooth hand against your cheek, heating your face. "Here is my proposal warrior. My brother Tazrael has begun gathering an army of goblins in the Mountains of Caldasher in the hopes of unleashing the blood-storm. But I cannot allow that to happen, so I find myself in need of a champion, who is both willing and able to slay him." She pauses and gazes deep into your eyes, her yellow snake like eyes burrowing deep into your soul. She then leans forward to whisper in your ear, "Will you be my champion?" Her hot breathe warms your neck and shoulders, bringing a flurry of odd emotions to the surface.

Coughing abruptly to rid yourself of this strange feeling, you ask her, "And what would I get in return?" The demoness chuckles at your boldness and whirls away from you, before replying over her shoulder, "Why power of course, more power than you'd ever imagine, and all the gold you can carry." Seeing your eye's glittering with interest, she throws back her head and laughs again, and sits back down on the throne. "As a show of faith, I will even return the equipment that was taken from you, and allow you to leave with your companions. However I will warn you, one of your so called friends plans to betray you." At her final words, you spin around to stare at your companions, her words hitting you hard in the chest. Was she toying with him? If so, what had she to gain by dividing them like this? And why not just tell you outright, who it was? But if she was right, you would need to deal this problem right now. For having a traitor in your midst, could seriously hamper your efforts, and put your life at risk. Which is one thing you cannot abide.

You glance back over at the demoness, who simply looks at you, a playful smile on her red lips and nods her head in the direction of your companions. This has to be some type of test, you just know it. You walk over towards your kneeling companions.

5. If you believe the demoness is wrong and is toying with you, do you demand that she release all of them as agreed?  

Refusing to be toyed with, you draw your weapon. "Let me and my companions leave as you promised!"

The demonesse's eyes flare a bright yellow, and her lips curl up into a snarl. "Who are you to make demands of me?" she roars, and stands up.

Body paralyzed, you watch her advance towards, eyes burning into your soul to keep you in place. She slaps you hard across the face, sending you flying through the air to slam hard into a column, banging your head, and cracking a few ribs. "Let that be a lesson to you!"

Eyes blurred by pain, you try to stand back up, when a surge of tiredness washes over you, sapping you of all your strength.

Falling to the ground, the last thing you see is Dywin kneeling down in front of demoness. "My lady, I've done what you've asked of me. I have brought you a champion."The demoness smiles seductively and nodded her head. "Yes, you've done well my pet. You will be rewarded as promised..."
