You all remember the first days of your existence, even the oldest among you. Something made you, or brought you to where you are now. You find yourself unable to leave the current premises. Some may be evil, others just bitter and full of malice. Perhaps one day you may be free to leave your prison, or for some of you, maybe your place is a home for you, even if you are unable to venture out. Whatever the matter, the time has come for your tale to begin. You are destined for great power. For now, you are nowhere near a weakling, but you need your power to grow.

One day, primitives enter your abode, and you awaken.

Angelo was in his lair waking up slowly. He slept sitting against an alter that he believed was meant to be a prayer alter for those looking for enlightenment to the god. Angelo could feel the presence of impure souls slowly starting to enter his lair. Angelo could never leave this place otherwise the lord will abandon this world and let the world become tainted in complete darkness, Angelo untucked his wings flapping them a few times before he stood up in front of the alter waiting for their strongest to get past his traps, nothing impossible as they were spike traps and trap doors that would make them drop from this place down to the earth below. The Ancients gateway must be protected at all costs no matter what and make sure that none of the evil of man stayed in this place to long. Angelo put his hands on his swords between his wings waiting to see who would get past the traps, Angelo also made sure that as a final solution if their was an army outside he would unhook the chains to the earth and the lair would start to wonder away from the area to find a new place to lock the chains to. Angelo knew the simple spike traps would work for these....primitive men....

The men, clad in furs and bearing Maquitl sword clubs split up into groups of six. . . there were five parties of these men, and all of them were great hunters. Some had bows and arrows made of the strong muscles of certain beasts. Others of these men knew how to make very hardy armor just by soaking cotton in brine and somehow fashioning it for them to wear on their bodies. They also had slings, and some had leather shields as well. All of them were experienced fighters, and they were all led by the man known as Brunar. Brunar was the strongest among them. He bore a bronze shield and a bronze sword, with his helmet and armor, and his shin guards and sandals also clad in the finely crafted metal. In later years this particular bronze would be better than most warrior's master works of steel, and somehow this armor and weapon was not even enchanted. It was a fine set of protection and a mighty sword. To his side was the only woman of the group, the wise Valeria. She had dark, tanned skin and appeared to be unarmed, but appearances could be deceiving.

All of them noticed the traps on the floor, there was no way these experienced men would be taken by such a trick. This place was a marvel of engineering at the time, only Valeria or Brunar would see anything that would begin to come close. This place was huge for a building of this time period. It had half a dozen floors, In later eras this wouldn't be so impressive, but for now it stood as a somewhat monumental fortress. The men began to slay the local beasts of avian kind that infested the area. Ravens, owls, hawks and other birds of prey of quite unusual size. In the end, four of these groups out of the six made it to Angelo. . . they were taken by his beauty, and Valeria's eyes furrowed together as she looked at Brunar. "This doesn't look like what we were looking for." She noted. Bruno nodded, but readied himself in a fighting stance. "Who are you? Where is your master?" He demanded to know. . . .

My only master is the one that guides us all. All you need to know is that I will give you only one chance to leave peacefully or else" Angelo said as he pulled out both his swords one had the sinister feel that would send a chill into a warriors spine while the other held the glow of love and safety in its light as Angelo looked at the groups in front of him thinking that these barbarians would not be worthy of giving a second chance, he would need to kill them all if they don't leave now. " I am the Angel that protects this sacred land you are defiling and for that I will kill you unless you leave now" Angelo warned extending his wings to their full 16 feet length in an intimidating manor to show he wasn't playing around. Even if Angelo must kill he will kill for the greater good and save this land from their human taint that makes them even dare to come to this sacred land...

"We don't think you know what's on the other side of that gate. It's not what you think it is. You are being deceived, spirit." Valeria commented. Brunar stood forth. "The Gate to the other side. . . is guarding the way to the Demiurge." He stated. "We have to seal the Gate. If we don't, the Demiurge may destroy everything." They were nervous that the Angelic being would be deceived like this, but they didn't want to destroy it if it didn't know what it was doing. They didn't know that Angelo would be quite fanatical in his duty to guard the Gate to the other side.

It felt as if centuries had past since those creatures attacked the kingdom, Eric finally woke up form his slumber, what happened to him, Eric is the only thing he remembers besides those creatures, those things. He awakened to find that he was in a prison cell deep into Inlumnata castle, but why? He felt the spirits of his people roaming the fortress remembering what it was like before the invasion, it was as if they were speaking to him. Eric tried to get out but realized the key was on the other side of the hall out of his reach Darn it he thought. That was when he heard the sound of footsteps, he then realized that he was not alone. The spirits seemed to be warning him about something dangerous that was approaching quickly, two of the spirits attempted to posses lifeless suits of armor only to be interupted by the intruders. Eric quickly picked up his sword which was somehow inside the cell and waited....

The men fought against the creatures inside. ineffable spirits from another time. The weapons they wielded were intangible, and could not be taken, but they could cause injury or death on their targets. Finally, however, Velgar and Gorath, as well as Meinad and Teenik fought and battled their way all the way through the fortress into Eric's inner sanctum. Velgar and Gorath bore their extremely sophisticated bronze weapons. Meinad and Teenik ,the Amazon sisters readied their spear and bow to slay the strange apparition.

"You have sent your spirit killers to our lands for long enough." Velgar stated.
"For the honor of our villages, our towns and the Amazon tribes, we will wipe you and your evil ghost men from the face of the world!"
Meinad fired her bow and arrow towards Eric, aiming for his forehead.

Eric quickly dodged out of the way and held his sword pointed towards his attackers "Who are you and why are you here!?!" He asked ready to strike if necessary "And what do you mean spirit killers? These are my people who were killed." He was angry at the intruders for speaking such insults towards his suffering people, what did they mean they attacked the Amazon tribes, what were the amazon tribes in the first place. This is why he didn't trust anyone.

The men attacked, not understanding Eric's language. . . they quickly darted forth with their swords, hoping they would manage to wound Eric as Meinad, who fires her bow at Eric once again. . . Teenik swung her spear in an effort to trip Eric off his feet. . . as the other swordsman, Velgar brought forth a second sword like dagger, and attempted to throw it into Eric's body.

It didn't take much effort to dodge the attacks being trapped in a cell and all, backing out of enemy range he continued to dodge the arrows being thrown at him until purple fire was spat next to the attackers. The looked to see that it was, one of those monsters that killed his people, it has fiery eyes and skin as black as night, it was slightly taller than the intruders but was much stronger, it looked like some kind of dragon with wings. Eric remembered everything that happened to him at that time and attempted to warn them "Run he shouted in his language, even though the intruders didn't understand him the message was still quite clear as the creature began to spit purple fire at Melinda who's right arm was very slightly burned.

Don't you dare question the will of god! I gave you your chance to leave!" Angelo growled feeling insulted that someone would dare insult the person that is known as the lord and they are the taint that will destroy this world and Angelo wings extended far and then he charged using his wings for extra thrust so he can take down one of the groups nearby with his duel sword style so he could slash them and decapitate them with his hells welcome sword then he would start stabbing them with lords mercy which would kill them easily, the ones that would be killed with hells welcome would turn them to ashes. Angelo charged the groups and yelled "last chance! leave now! I will not accept anymore blasphemy! from you tainted humans!"

The void. It had been his abode for the longest time. Had it been a century? A millennium? The Sentinel did not know. What it did know was that it awoke once with little memory of his prior life. All it remembered was that it was ever so curious of everything. Still, it couldn't continue its existence for too long for it needed to rest, and solidify its existence. Thus, its mind remained in the void, left to simply be. However, something drew the Sentinel back. He felt a foreign life force enter the premises of his domain. No... it was numerous beings that he felt. Thus, he was pulled back into existence due to these... visitors. It was the same enclosure that he first found himself. It had obviously been built before... but by whom? The Sentinel did not know.

Regardless, there were more pressing things that needed his attention. The intruders were still far. Miles away at the mouth of the cave, so The Sentinel did not do anything. Rather it waited. The people took a few hours, but they were finally within a reasonable distance from the temple that The Sentinel was enclosed in, about 300 meters. It was then that the Sentinel took action. It began to slightly probe the minds of these beings, trying to learn what he could without giving these beings discomfort, and as the Sentinel did so it spoke to each of them in the language that it inherently knew through its telepathy. "Why are you here, and what is it that you seek?"

Standing in a large open area deep in a cavern was a very ornate suit of armor, which shimmered in the light of the strange ice on the walls. The room itself was a roundish shape and around 30 feet wide and deep. In the back of the room was a huge pile of gold coins, which shimmered in the light also. Anyone in the room would sense a distinct magical presence. The ice on the walls, the treasure, and the suit of armor all were radiating this energy.

The Fridge's dormant conscious suddenly came into focus. He heard foot steps coming down the cavern, Humans, he thought, I hope that they will be worth destroying. As the ice being waited, it grew a little bored, so it decided to create an ice sword, and use it to anger some of the ice rats that had been scurrying around his chamber. Once the frozen soul decided that one of the beast's hind quarters were sufficiently sore, he would send it down the cavern, then proceed to harass another of the rats. It was able to send three rats down to face the intruders. Eventually he heard the noises of the intruders fighting the frightened animals. They are the same really, he thought, comparing the rats and the humans. He then turned his attention to the piles of gold lying around the room. This was definitely the reason the humans were coming, which, as always, was something that always baffled him. No doubt, they planned on using violence to obtain there reward, but the frozen wouldn't have had it any other way.

(A little hiatus. . .everyone stay put if their still interested.)
(Just a few days)

You all find yourselves victorious. . . ironically, Eric discovers that the dragon, which killed his people, bows down his horned, lizard like head to him. . . as if in homage. The dragon ghost phases through solid matter as it soars through the ceiling and just like that, it was gone, as suddenly as it came. The rest of you all face similar circumstances. . . The primitive men avenge those that the angelic being, Angelo, slew, or at least, they tried. . . even their supremely honed bronze weapons could not leave a scratch on Angelo's lowest level of angelic form. The mysterious began to cast a spell to close the portal, but found herself dead, through Angelo's blade. . .

The Fridge discovered, that as he predicted, his Human interlopers were as impotent against him as all other rivals. . . yet all of you realize that there is something. . . big. Something big that you don't understand, somewhere behind the scenes, perhaps something is using you, or perhaps, you are just a unique quirk of fate.

Once Angelo saw that he had killed all the blasphemers he cleaned his holy blade while leaving his hells welcome sword covered in blood for the next blasphemies that would try to get past him again. He quickly said a prayer for the departed to go to the lords side even if they did not believe in him. Angelo soon sheathed his swords and bowed to the alter behind him in respect before he walked away to start searching through the various hallways to see what he could use to his disposal....

Eric was confused as to why the creature didn't attack him, but quickly shrugged it off and tried to find a way out of the ceil. Unfortunately the bars were made of pure steel and could not be broken. It seemed hopeless until a spirit threw the keys into his reach, after unlocking the ceil door he decided to explore the remains of the castle to try and find anything that could be useful.

Disgusting humans, the Fridge thought as he threw his icicle-sword to the side of the room, where it would eventually melt, now out of the frozen beings hands. The suit of armor began to slowly trudge down the corridor. It eventually came to the bodies of three ice rats, their white fir stained red. These humans must have been competent fighters, the being mused, being able to fight off three angry, huge, and inherently aggressive rats wouldn't be an easy thing to do. This made the Fridge wonder, Why would idiots such as these travel to my lair!?. It eventually came to the conclusion that there was some other reason than to get rich that the humans came. Perhaps there will be more. With that thought, The Fridge examined his lair, searching for ways he could make traps, or other creatures than the ice rats that it could manipulate to defend himself. The Fridge resolved that it was going to be ready.

A mysterious red colored portal opens before you all. It's eerily beautiful, as if you are staring straight at a god.
