well lets think, I doubt the clouds are comming, as he was in the northern desert if I'm correct. and the clouds were heading north... and from what we know prior from quests is that a crazy cat hating lady (possibly amascut) lies in the southern desert near a grotto, and Amascut (if you know any rs history) hates her brother Itchlcarin (who happens to have a thing for cats). thus, I doubt the clouds are comming back south.

That's true, but since you know nothing of Zaros's powers (because I haven't yet shown the extent of them), you have to assume that the clouds are not like normal clouds. Therefore, they have the ability the change direction according to where Zaros is.

A priestess on Zaros's right was the first to move. She drew a short dagger from her robes and thrust it at Zaros's neck. She never made it. A rope of ice twirled around Zaros and met her in midair, knocking her away. The bladed edge of the rope cut a **** in her chest. She fell to the sand in a pool of her own blood.
The other priestesses stepped back, giving Zaros more room in the middle of the circle. Zaros smiled. They were beginning to disobey.
"What are you waiting for?" snapped Amascut. "Get him!"
Keep talking, Zaros thought to himself. Each word the Devourer said helped his cause. Just one more should do it.
Zaros put his palm to the sand, sending his magic flowing into the terrain. Suddenly, the sandy top layer dispersed to reveal a slick layer of ice beneath. A sharp spike suddenly rose up beside Zaros. He patted it with his hand. "Anyone that moves gets impaled," he threatened. "I'm very good at this technique, so don't tempt me."
"He's bluffing!" shouted Amascut.
"Yeah, yeah, get him. We've heard you before," Zaros shot back. He looked around at the priestesses. "Well, do you want to obey her? Or will you live?"
Amascut suddenly grimaced. She felt the eyes of all the priestesses shift upon her. "Go get her," Zaros ordered.
Every last one of the women drew their daggers and turned in Amascut's direction. "You wouldn't dare!" the Devourer shrieked, fear entering her dark eyes.
The crowd charged. Amascut was suddenly up against dozens of her own minions. Zaros stood aside and watched, a smirk on his face.
"Enough!" yelled Amascut, and she raised her hands to the air. Suddenly, Zaros felt a terrible aura fill the scene. Everyone vanished. There were no more priestesses. Even Zaros had gone. In all their places, where each one stood moments before, were a huge crowd of cats.
Amascut's look of terror melted back into her condescending smile. "Well, Emperor," she taunted. "It looks like you're a bit less of a man now."

Hm, guess I didn't think of him changing the direction. I sorta ruled that out when they didn't get there as fast as he liked. Also, I do know a ton of RS history, it facinates me, such as what happens to Amascut, presumably after this fight. That'll show the power Zaros can do with just his mind.

Amascut clutched her head. "What's this?" she demanded, feeling the magical aura surround her. "A curse?" She glared at the cats around her. "What did you do?"
"They added their power to mine," came a voice from the middle of the crowd. A single cat walked out from the rest, and, as it approached Amascut, it morphed back into a man. "They helped me put a curse on you," Zaros explained.
"What curse?"
Zaros smiled. "People will forget you now, Amascut. Your entire power source comes from stirring up fear in the desert people. How can you do this, now that you will never leave an impression on anyone?"
Amascut's eyes widened. "Take this curse away from me! You can't do this!"
"You have no power over me," Zaros replied. "Your curse couldn't make me a cat, and your tattoo melts from my skin the instant it is applied. You can't warp my mind like a regular man."
Amascut raised her hand. "We'll see."
Zaros felt the desert spin, the sky was turning various colors. Zaros's past began to flash before his eyes, and Amascut appeared to be his father, Hasan.
Zaros smiled. "Is that it?" The desert returned to the way it was. "Your hypnosis is weak, Amascut."
The Devourer staggered back. Her power was waning. "Well, if I can't destroy your mind," she barked, drawing a steel scimitar and waving it before him, "then I'll crush your body!"
"Did you learn nothing?"
Amascut began to edge her way toward Zaros, scimitar in hand. "Die!" Her blade glowed with evil power, and she jumped at Zaros.
Zaros suddenly set a smokescreen and dodged. Then, he filled the entire scene in darkness. Amascut froze, trying to see through the blackness, but there was no light.
Suddenly, a flash of red shot through the black. Zaros was swinging three ropes of blood through the darkness, trying to make contact with the Devourer.
Then, the strand of blood burst as it hit Amascut. "Got you!" bellowed Zaros, and he charged her way, his own scimitar ready to disembowel her.

On an unrelated note...Xbox dude, it's kind of hard to miss his fight scenes. Look for the pile of dead bodies, or, if that doesn't work, look for the adoring fans.

I love that about riekan's stories, the abnormaly high body count.
