Lix Tetrax sits, meditating, as a red glow emanates from her in an abandoned cave in the Gore Mountains. "Our strength grows by the hour. The Black Angels of old, the tainted, the fallen, they are gathering. Our numbers grow daily. They have heard their master's call." Lillith reports as she lands, her silver-black wings folding inwards as she lands. "Yet we do not have the strength to fight them all, alone. Argention Astra, and the other Dragon Spirits are too strong. Even with our mortal legions, we do not have the numbers or the power."

Leviathan makes himself visible, emerging from the Nethersphere as he lands, making the ground shake. His deep basso voice, deep as the earth itself, says "That can soon be changed. We have taken it."

"Leviathan." Lix Tetrax states, without opening her eyes. "The book?"

"It is here, along with Orchid and the other trinkets. Murderer's weight escaped us, the Emperor took it with him."

"It is of no matter. We have the book, that's all that matters."

"Should we... use it? You know what power lies within it, who is locked in God-wrought chains under the earth, the terror that will be unleashed: The Elder Children of Erebus, created to kill gods and on equal power to Dragon-kin. What do we know of their... loyalty? We slew them in droves in the battle against the Eternal Empire."

"That was many ages ago." Lix Tetrax responds, raising her head. "They will be loyal. They know only death, fire and blood. And we can give it to them. That will most certainly keep the Dragons... busy while we search for the Seven Seals."

"If I may?" Lix Tetrax says as she walks up, towards the book. She brushes a delicate finger against it's darksteel cover, as black as the void. The garnets and rubies cut into it are like wounds dripping blood.

She opens the book, hands trembling with the sheer power of the book, and partly in fear.

"Do it." Leviathan says, an eager hunger in his eyes.

"In destruction ye have lain,"

Her voice begins, trembling with power and fear.

"In chains ye have laboured."

The garnets in the book begin to faintly glow red, the color of fresh blood.

"Darkness is your birthright,"

Her voice gains strength as she reads

"slaughter is your delight,"

The gems now glow with red power, casting shadows the color of sable and light the color of crimson.

"savagery your only need."

The very earth begins to shake, rumbling with the primal power of Erebus.

"You are the children of Death before Death."

The ground begins to twist and red itself, and a rip is forming in the surface of reality, like a window into the hellish prison of the Daemons.

"DAEMONIC SUMMONING!"

The window of reality shatters like shards of glass. Beyond, is seen a land of fire and brimstone, the prison in which the Daemones lay chained. But those chains are broken, and the Daemones are free.

"Who summons me from the deeps of hell?" 

The voice echoes, harsh and metallic like a sword being scraped against stone.

"I summon you, Lix Tetrax of the Black Angels of Star-of-the-Morning."

"Why do you disturb our long imprisonment in which we have laid for aeons?"

"The world has changed. Fell powers have again awakened in the dark places of the earth. Forces long sleeping have again awakened. The world is ripe, ripe for the taking by those who would restore it to it's rightful rulers."

"So... you wish for me to join you?"

"Yes, we have similar goals, you and I."

He gazes outside the window of reality.

"Yes, yes... the time is now ready, the appointed hour has arrived."

He steps outside the ripture in reality. He is a daemon wearing dark grey armor of Imperial Steel, a black crown, and has two eyes like burning coals. It is Gorgai the Accursed, enemy of mankind.

Thunder bursts across the lands, the lands rupture, mountains burst into flames.

The Daemones have returned.
