Chapter 2: 'Realisation'
The spire towered over all the others in this so called 'city' of darkness, though the term city didn't quite cover it. In truth Sotek didn't know what it truly was, and in many ways he didn't want to know. Darkness and shadow covered everything here and the nearby star's light had been dimmed by the cloud layer to make it look like an eternal twilight. He watched some shrikes fly past and thought about what the Draken really were, pure darkness was the answer, evil incarnate. It made him laugh that it was something so simple and not something like 'an alien race who just wanted to destroy' for the Draken they had to destroy, it was in their blood and was as necessary as breathing was to humans. The shadow of a frigate glided silently over the city its completely black spiny form moved as if there was no air resistance. He turned to the sound of footsteps and saw Ravager walking towards him.
"Amazing, we can conquer galaxies in no time at all with this" the Talonian said with an eerie tone, his small form was covered in a grey armour of segmented plates probably Ghostaniam Sotek thought. Ravager was new to the Draken forces and was thoroughly insane enough to join their cadre of commanders it also surprised Sotek that Ravager was a Talonian as he thought Claw was the last one, though thanks to Ravager him and Claw were the only two left as the evil Talonian killed all survivors of his race for fun.
"Hmp, we have taken far too long just to get this far, the Union is too steadfast in defence and we are too weak in attack" said Sotek in an evil voice.
"You need to watch your tongue, that sort of blasphemy will not be tolerated" came a voice out of the shadows. They both turned to see Toxin walking towards them both, the female still carrying her two envenomed blades, even though she was not in combat, her leather light absorbing body glove was still visible in the twilight.
"What have I told you about talking to me like that puny creature? I can kill you with but a thought!" shouted Sotek.
"And remember what the Dark Lord has said about you speaking to others like that? You're like a disobedient child sometimes" she sniggered. Sotek took the bait and grabbed her neck while restraining her arms she squirmed under his grip, Toxin was totally defenceless and he laughed at that.
"If I move my hand I can break your neck like a twig!" he roared at her. Even though she could barely speak he swore she was laughing at him. "What are you laughing at!?" he turned to see Ravager pointing his claws at Sotek's neck.
"Put her down or I will kill you!" laughed Ravager like the sick psychopath that he was. Sotek laughed out loud a booming laugh that echoed around the spire and into the depths of the city.
"Do it!" he said in his demonic voice "I can kill you both, in less time than it takes you to process a thought!"
"I wouldn't do that if I was you" they turned to the sound of the grating voice and heavy footsteps to see the Soul Monarch and Decapitator approaching. "If you do, we will all kill you where you stand" whispered Decapitator in a wispy distorted voice, though whether it was the person talking or the disturbing sword in his hands Sotek couldn't tell.
Sotek readied himself to kill them all, he'd had just about enough of these pathetic creatures that thought themselves powerful, when he stopped and dropped Toxin. A strong telepathic link forced him to turn his attention to something else, he looked towards the sky in the direction of Myric, and even though he was thousands of light years away it felt like he was only next to him speaking. "So planning an invasion are we Myric? Ha-ha! We will be ready for you" Sotek whispered.
"What did you say?" asked Toxin rubbing her neck; her green luminous eyes scanned Sotek.
"Myric is coming. With an army bigger than any we have faced. Ready yourselves because they will be here in two days" he replied.
The Soul Monarch let out a grating boom of a laugh "Let them all come, we are more than ready for them, the puny little angels they think they can stop us but we will kill them"
"Yes, Myric thinks he can defeat us! but he is weak and will not be able to beat us and our hoards of forces" came the strange voice of Decapitator and Sotek finally realised it was the sword that was talking, its surface shimmering in the twilight as faces of trapped souls writhed over its surface, just like the Soul Monarchs armour. Decapitator's mouth never moved under his half helmet either which gave him an eerie aura. Sotek turned to the group.
"You underestimate the Angels they are more powerful than you think and Myric will succeed here because I can see it. But I also see a great tragedy befalling the Union, and I will make it so it comes to pass" Sotek said with anger in his voice, but whether it was towards the inevitable defeat or towards the Draken commanders nobody knew.
"Then let's give them a fight!" shouted Ravager.
