Aedius awaited the arrival of the intruders for some time, but Wight would keep them busy for a time. As long as it existed, it would temporarily apply a green aura to all the swords it would wield, regardless of how mundane or how useless the blade was. It was this reassurance which made Aedius fall asleep upon his throne for a time. 

He missed the first part of his confrontation, the gravity Mage had entered his throne room, and had already destroyed the near-useless skeleton which wanted to use a bone as a weapon. He only awoke to the sound of electricity, and opened his eyes to see that most of his minions were...dead...again. Save for the two greater skeletons which were channeled for a longer time, they still stood on the right and left sides of Aedius' throne. It was both the giant skeleton and skeleton beast. Aedius opened one eye to see two...no, three mages in front of him. And in turn, the three mages could see him; and were presumably surprised by his appearance: unexpectedly much younger than them, and shorter in stature. Two of these mages had been going around, essentially killing his minions which were created for defensive purposes. Despite this, Aedius did not show much anger. Yet. With only one eye open, he spoke.

"And so, the magically impaired finally make it here. Wondrous" He said with a condescending demeanour. He paused, hearing the female intruder shout at him to 'Fight like a man.' He gave the simplest answer he could formulate. 

"No." He smirked. "Why should I have to fight, when others do it [u]for[/u] me?" At that moment, he heard another voice. It was the lightning intruder. However, Aedius didn't reply, and pretended to not acknowledge him. He instead payed attention to the gravity mage, who had just forced the two main intruders to the ground with his magic. 

Listening to the gravity mage's request, Aedius once again spoke "Stopping a noise? Useless and insignificant" Aedius clicked his fingers, and the giant skeleton planted the tip on it's greatsword into the crypt's floor. 

"Necromancy demands power, and those fools in Valford should hear it, and fear it!" He laughed in a cruel way, the concerns of Valford meant little to him due to his arrogance, and the fact that there was nowhere else for him to go other than his current location, and Aedius did not plan on being thrown out.
