energy across worlds to create undead armies he made his intentions known not only to Bultan, but to all magical beings of the world. Zangonath had attacked thirty one villages and cities at the same time, causing a huge magical rift, even the most inexperienced of wizards would have felt this movement. Bultan immediately knew two things from this dark rending and gathering Zangonath had performed.
The first being that Zangonath was still completely ignorant to the fact that Zebial and Iezlear had awakened or he would not have been this obvious with his attack, he is not aware of the returned guardians and thinks the world of men completely unprepared, he is only half correct. The second thing Bultan knew by this rending was Zangonath’s plans, in his moment of casting; Zangonath’s mind was open to others who are powerful enough to perceive the openness. Bultan was able to peer in and divine a large portion of Zangonath’s evil designs upon the land. This undead army is being built to remove all current human leaders and their kingdoms, replacing them with possessed undead under Zangonath’s control. Once he has accomplished this and consolidates his new lands, he intends to use his army of undead to march north and literally dig the dragon lords’ from the ground. How he intends to find them or remove them from the ground, Bultan was unable to tell. There was now no time to waste, Bultan had sent Zebial and Iezlear upon her full recovery off to begin informing the peoples’ of Oleskia that all rumors they had heard were true and the dragon lords had indeed returned with the curse removed. Bultan was unaware how Zangonath intended to launch his first offensive and assumed before today that they would have ample time to wake the complete four and prepare properly. Now, he realized he was wrong. By this time Zebial and Iezlear being magical creatures would also be aware of the evil Zangonath had wrought. Bultan proceeded to contact them telepathically; they indeed were aware of the new developments in the situation and were already en route to Bultan to begin planning their next step together.
Zebial and Iezlear landed in the secret grove of Bultan deep in the wilds of the Sharmdewmon forest. Hidden from the sight of the fog crystal as well as any nosy neighbors, Bultan changed his form as they landed. Changing from an old and seemingly frail wizard to a beast half dragon and half man almost as large as Zebial, “This requires an eye to eye conversation,” Bultan the dragon wizard man snarled. The now, three dragons, chortled before beginning their serious conversation. “Obviously, our plans have been changed by Zangonath’s abominations, spoke Bultan, we no longer have the luxury of waiting.” “What shall we do about this undead army Bultan, these thousands upon thousands of innocent people must we destroy them all, is there no way to save them and destroy this evil wizard?” Iezlear asked. “That remains to be seen,” spoke Bultan. “First we must stop him from doing this to others; he currently seems limited by the reach of the fog crystal’s resonance which is directly related to the possessor of the fog crystal’s magical powers. If he figures a way around this limitation there could be none left for us to save and no reason to wake your siblings!” “Where does this fog crystal originate, perhaps there is a counter balance crystal to eliminate or soften this necromancy?” Spoke Zebial. Bultan growled deeply and began to return to his original size and appearance with ease. “Let me think upon this, there may be a way within magic to counter this abomination, I must meditate upon the abyss, and answers shall come.” Turning, the now frail old wizard slowly walked back a few steps and rested upon a smooth stone.
