'AND YOU SHALL RISE ONCE MORE AND SERVE YOUR MASTERS!' cried Livia hands raised. So focussed had she been on her summoning she hadn't noticed the going on in the clearing. She took everything in with a glance and decided that the time was now.

'Al'Hazred you are summoned, arise the winds of the damned, scour this earth clean and deliver he who was entombed! Rend with claw and fang thy ancient foes, and feed your hunger unknowing' called out Livia's chorus of whispering voices, as she finished she began to cackle maniacally and a terrible wind picked up seemingly from nowhere and began to swirl about the clearing.

Leaf litter, broken wood, dirt, rocks and more besides were scattered by the powerful winds. Dust filled the clearing and a dreadful moaning began. Livia smiled the guardians were calling out, she heard them, she was probably one of the few who could understand them. She paid them no heed.

The gale picked up buffeting all in the clearing with a hale of grit and other small missiles that been sucked up into the tempest. Then in the centre, at first it seemed small a black square hewn from ancient stone. It seemed to be criss crossed with ancient symbols in any number of languages. Livia recognised most of them, but even she didn't know them all. The symbols started to glow as the wind grew faster and stronger, scouring more and more of the dirt away. As the wind buffeted against the square it began to reveal that in fact the thing was a great cube. A lip seemed to run around the top suggesting that it could be opened in some way.

Nostalgia hit Livia like a kick to the gut, she recognised the cube, but with a life as long as her's it was hard to remember everything. The memories came flooding back, a small girl was led by the hand through an ancient forest. Soldiers stood around her carrying torches and her mummy and daddy led the procession with a man bound in chains standing between them. Then the little girl was crying, she was hugging the man in chains, he looked down at her and ruffled her hair before she was pulled away from him. Then the girl was leaving, she'd ran out of tears by this point, but she looked back one last time at the large black cube, one last time… until now.

Livia floated towards the cube and brushed her ghostly hand against it and the box shook. Suddenly there was a bestial roar and the top of the box cracked, dust plumed up from inside, another roar and the top of the box cracked completely large fragments of obsidian being sent flying in all directions. One shot through Livia before imbedding itself in the ground a distance behind her. Then a decayed claw bound in leathery flesh grasped the top of the box, a bestial head followed, huge and misshapen, it resembled that of a bat but its proportions were colossal. The creature pulled itself free of it's prison, and walked to face Livia.

The creature walked on two short stumpy legs and then on a pair of ginormous wings each of which ended in long claws like a bat. The creature was at least 9ft tall was covered in rough patches of fur and rotting skin. It's entire frame seemed to be covered in muscle and these too seemed to be rotting. The creature eyed Livia for a moment before letting out a horrendous blood curdling screech full in her face before swatting at Livia with tremendous force. The blow passed straight through her before crashing into the ground cutting a deep furrow several meters long underneath where she was floating.

'Now now' said Livia to the creature, placing one ghostly hand on its cheek 'Is that anyway for you to say hello to your sister?' The creature snarled but then bowed its head bringing it down to Livia's height and peering directly into her hood. 'Better' cackled the wraith maniacally, 'I suspect you're hungry after all that time spent cooped up in there hmm?' The words didn't seem to mesh well with Livia's whispering chorus, but it simply served to make them sound all the more sinister. 'Fortunately my dear brother' she continued 'Ive brought you a few morsels', the wraith extended a skeletal finger and pointed at the mage that was stood over the prince. 'He should do you nicely, hmm? Oh but don't eat the little one would you? In fact' she called out 'Naya, you might want to get out of my brother's way.'

(Just thought I'd include the picture of what this thing looks like again)
