The darkness that filled the dip in the hills had not changed for months, but now close to the dawn it had started to expand, slowly at first as four humanoid forms could be seen trying to push out of it.

On the hills surrounding the darkness of the prison were skulls placed every 20ft or so; they had been staring at the darkness for the last 3 months, just watching and waiting, unmoving, power humming between them, although it could not be known the purpose of these skulls. Several times over the last few months local tribal people had come to look at the skulls but no one actually tried to pick one up. They all turned and fled as if warned off.

At the start of the 12th month a man appeared on the top of the hill, clad all in black and gold armour holding a scythe of a dark grey steel and a bone sword at his hip. The only thing out of place on this armoured form of death were the loafers...

He walked to the top of the hill where he was in full view of the prison and all the skulls disappeared. For the following weeks the figure never moved or flinched it just stood like a statue watching the darkness as if he could see what was going on inside. Once or twice a bird landed on the scythe to use it as a perch but as soon as they touched it, they fell unmoving to the ground.

The days rolled by and on the final day of the year, there was an explosion of darkness as it expanded massively until it touched the armoured form, and the wave of darkness just stopped. The man in the black and gold armour moved his grip on his scythe as if ready to wield it in battle. Moving for the first time in a month, the scythe swung down and sliced through the darkness and the darkness just fell to the floor and disappeared as if slain. In the centre of the darkness was a single storey building with only a few windows, looking like any normal farm house. The only thing was this feeling of dread that seemed to come from such a simple farm building, that and the fact that the earth had been scarred black and dead, where the darkness had touched it.

The armoured figure walked around the edge of the farm house to a door at the rear of the building. Just as his hand moved to the handle of the door to open it, there was a blazing beam of light and Radah appeared holding his golden sword in one hand. Walking through the wall next to the door he disappeared as did the light surrounding him. The whole building wavered as if an illusion fading then stopped, the building becoming solid again, although now it all seemed to be one piece. There were no gaps in the doorway, the building was now one solid piece.

The armoured form just shook his head, muttered a few words and disappeared. The whole area was now silent, not a sound, not even from the wind blowing across the plains.
