Chapter 5:
Crelanu's Book


Far away, in a far away tower, the Sacred Guardian of Legend stood by his tower. Gripping his blade, he looked off into the horizon, he had felled demons, occasional monsters, and the Dark Knight of evil. Although he sensed that something powerful was coming. He climbed up a step, to lay his head for the night.


Surely what was coming would not get there before morning.

He was wrong, as he would have noticed, if he was awake.

He awoke at the sound of tapping on the outside of of his tower. Walking outside, he noticed nothing, only that the sun was rising.

"What could that person possibly be after?" He thought to himself. While in his thoughts, he noticed a lone figure walking in the distance. He didn't look like a threat, he was frail, his arms at his side, lumbering like a homeless one.

The Guard remembered his most important lesson well: "Never be fooled by appearances."

He gripped his large sword, he checked it's edge. Sharp as it ever was. The man came closer, and the Legendary Knight raised his shield. The man obviously wasn't a warrior, with his frailness, so he must have been a wizard, or a sorcerer. Either way, he was dangerous. Then the Guard was surprised.


The figure in the distance stopped.


Then the Guard of legend realized, that the whole slow walking.....


"It's a trap!" He yelled, and he charged up the stairs, knowing that of course, there was someone else up on the top of the tower. What he expected was a Heavy-Armor soldier, another Wizard, or some other threat.



What he saw was a strange mammal.


He pulled up his visor, and wiped his eyes. Was he seeing it right? Unless.....


Another lesson, this one he forgot: "Beware of traps inside traps."

He looked over the side of the tower, where the frail man had disappeared.

He ran down the steps, running to quickly finish off the frail man who had entered the tower. He stopped, to see the man holding a book.


Not just any book.....

Crelanu's Book.


Hundreds of years ago, the worlds strongest Necromancer/Lich wrote down all of his spells before he was killed by an army of 10,000 Paladins.

And now it was in the hands of another, this could mean nothing short of instant doom.

The Necromancer shot several energy spheres onto the Guard, who retreated to the top of the tower.

That was his second mistake.

He first noticed that he forgot to kill the animal on the top of the tower.

The second thing he noticed was that the animal wasn't there anymore, replaced by a humongous Demon with fire leaking out of his mouth. He raised his shield, and he noticed the mysterious Necromancer float to the top of the beast.

"Heh, heh, heh," He said. "It looks like it's the end of the Great Guardian of Legend...."

"What do you want?" The Guard shouted to the mysterious wizard.

"Isn't it obvious? Once you, the Guardian of this city is destroyed, I can turn the citizens into my own Undead city!"

The beast raised it's arm, and a flaming fist flew to the ground. The Guardian dodged, and attacked.

He charged up his blade, and a large beam of energy blew out of the blade, exploding into the beast.
The giant Baelrog-like demon shrugged off the attack, and blew fire all over the field, igniting the inside of the knight, destroying his useless flesh, and reviving him as the Skeleton Knight.

Looking over the rest of the city, which had yet the rooster to crow, he raised his arms, and the skull emblem appeared, shattering some parts, as he teleported his undead army to that area to spread the Undeadening.


This is how the city of Necros was formed.
