Blue Hills - Valley of the Ancients
18th of Kumain 1029, early morning
"You sure this is the place?,"asks one man of the other.
The other man, Stur Nigby, looks at his friend Col. "I'm sure. Kyorl wouldn't lead us wrong. Just remember we need to be careful with this
Yugoloth. They're nasty creatures as it is, but even worst they're powerful Demons. The scroll he gave us will help protect us."
The trail is easy enough to follow. The path of destruction from the fall of the demon from the sky is easy enough to follow. Soon they are upon the
creature itself. It appears to be unconscious. The creature's body is charred black, muscle and tissue scorched badly. Strange even for a Demon.
Wisps of mists move around the Demon and the area as if they were alive, searching, looking for something maybe.
Nigby retrieves the scroll and looking at Col, nods. As well he takes a piece of chalk from his pocket. The other moves away, scanning the earth itself
for something else. The High Spellwise had said there was a tome nearby. Several feet from the Demon's location. He walks slowly in one particular direction, West. Ten..... Eleven .;.... Twelve ....... Fifteen,,,,," and stops. Looking down, the ground appears to be different, as if something was, well, hidden here. He goes
to one knee and using one hand, brushes away the earth there. Soon he sees the form of a book and carefully he digs it out with his fingers. The cover is leather with no words. Curious he opens it. The language on the pages is jibberish to him. Whatever is in here can't be all that important if I can't even read it he thinks to himself.
Meanwhile, Stur has traced symbols and a circle around the Demon. Done, he stands away from the Demon and reads the scroll. A blue light emits from his symbols and circle on the ground as well as the Demon itself, who's body is now healing itself as the blue light radiated from the symbols and its body.
Col returns as the Demon stirs. It stands well over twelve feet, very imposing. Blood red eyes glare at Stur, then Col. He shivers and moves behind Nigby. The Demon
laughs loudly, ground nearly shaking.
"You have healed me, yet imprisoned me at the same time. Mortals.... pshaw. RELEASE ME NOW!"
It moves to exit the circle, yet impressively, it moves no further. The Blue light crackles and glimmers yet remains intact.
Nigby is a little more experienced in these matters and addresses the Yugoloth. Col has handed him the book by now. The mists are acting up, moving and darting among both Col and Nigby, up and down their bodies. The beast laughs heartily.
"I can help you. Tell you about these mists. First, let me free. If you have me captured here, then you know I am a Demon of my word and preform deals with mortals. I
will deal with your master. Neither of you are powerful enough to have prepared this spell on your won. DO not lie to me, I can tell. Now. about that book you hold behind your back. It tells a tale of one I dealt with centuries ago. One who made a deal and now lives freely in his land."
Nigby listens, paying attention to the Demons words and body language. HE couldn't tell if it was lying but he had the impression it was perhaps not telling the whole tale.
Kyorl would know more than he. The book now interested him.
"Fair enough, Demon. I will call my master and you can deal with him."
He utters an arcane word and Kyorl Maloune appears. The Demon grins even as the Spellwise inspects the thing. "You two have done well. Be gone."
"Dismissed he mutters and Col and Stur Nigby disappear, not before Nigby hands him the book.
"Inajira, is it?," he asks with a straight face.
"Ho ho, you have done well and I have to admit I am a little impressed, mortal. You have me at a disadvantage, mage. Well done."
It pushes against the blue shield yet has no success.
"Very well. Speak your terms. You know my name, you know my purpose."
Maloune nods. He holds up the book, looking at the Demon, then the mists, very curious.
"Tell me about the Mists and this book. What are their purpose and how can I use them to gain power.?"
Inajira looks at the man intently, thinking.
"I tell you what you wish to know and you release me. I leave you alone. These are my terms, human."
"Deal."
"Create for us a safe haven. This will take several hours. I have much to tell you and you need to pay attention."
Maloune creates a House out of thin air and over the next few hours, he listens intently as the Demon speaks. A quill writes down
what the Demon says to the word even as he listens. Eight hours later, the Demon is done.
"You must follow what I have told you. To the letter. Only then will the mists work for you and the book will be readable. Once done
the ritual you need to perform will come to you and then you will have this absolute power you seek."
Kyorl nods, knowing the terms of the deal. He speaks a word of considerable power and the house as well as the circle are gone, in essence freeing the Demon.
"Farewell. I can't say it has been a pleasure." It disappears in a puff of stinky sulphur.
