War March

Prologue

Idly brushing sand from the carpet, the Betrayer of Ideals and Expectations waited impatiently. Looking around the dull bastion of Creation he had been shown to, was not improving his mood.

He stopped waiting and stormed past the guards into the inner recesses of the temple. He left them impaled on the claws of his minions. A maze of tunnels and corpses unworthy of his attenion later he found the one he sought. The demon looked down at him, annoyed. "All is in readiness, I demand my payment." his whisper echoed through the room. The demon unimpressed, pointed silently toward a chamber. Blood Apes floated out and formed up behind the Betrayer as he departed. It was a large chamber, the apes had not stopped exiting it by the time he finally stepped into his own world.

Further darkening his mood were the emersaries of peace array before him, so recently arrived from the Realm.
