On the battlefield, Luc stands before the troops, in the no-man's-land between the armies. He sighs.

'Well, I guess it's showtime,' he murmurs. 'Let's see if they remember why I'm the Angel of Death.'

With that, he stretches forth a hand towards the Imperial camp, closes his eyes, and begins to whisper.

'There is no escape. You shall be confronted by endless curses. All that has been foretold will come true. You shall be cursed in the town, and you shall be cursed in the fields as well. Whenever you go in, and whenever you go out, you will be cursed. The angel shall pass over you, and you shall be found wanting. The sky shall turn to copper, the ground to iron, and your corpse shall be preyed on, by all the birds in the sky as well as all the beasts of the earth. Lords, do not forget thy wrath, and afflict thy foes with your final test.'

He finishes, and the night seems a little darker than before. The white-robed human sighs once more, and walks away, weary.

In the Imperial camp, thousands of men and animals are afflicted with a strange illness, that causes fever and sweating, then sudden and painful death. A quick check of records indicate that all the men were firstborn males, and it is assumed all the animals were as well. Only the few few hundred meters into the camp were affected, though.

Imperial spellcasters report to Valerius, saying that it is likely the Forbidden Words, Tenth Plague, were used. As the only known person to use those words on previous occasions in living memory, Lux Sakurai is held responsible.
