"WHAT?!" roared Drakos. "HE ISN'T DEAD?!"
He had sent out his most powerful servant, The Void, and it haad failed him. It had been destroyed, reduced to this single form before him.
The Void trembled, a quivering remnant of a shred of the great terror it had been before.
"They had a blade... Full of ancient magic... It is old beyond memory and even more powerful... Even if I had not fled I would have been destroyed, master... The small one, it stabbed me first... Then the one thou ordered me to kill... It nearly sent me into eternity... Forgive me, master!"
Drakos could not believe his ears. "So you were defeated by that BOY and... Wait... There was someone else? Who?! SPEAK!"
The Void cowered. "I do not know what they called it... It looked like this..."
With an exertion of the tiny drop of power it had left, The Void shapeshifted for the last time into the shape of a small girl.
"YOU WERE DEFEATED BY A MERE CHILD?!" Drakos roared. He unsheathed his sword.
"You are weak. You failed me. You will join the other failures now." he said in a low voice that was just as threatening as his roar.
Drakos plunged the black blade into the shadow as a deathly scream echoed through the throne room. The Void became vapor, swirling around the sword and being absored into it.
In a moment, where The Void had been there was nothing.
"So..." Drakos muttered to himself. "Excellent time to find out who this child is, and how they destroyed that FAILURE."
