Recount of a battle

My fellow Achaeans,

I know that I'm not well recognized by most in this realm. That is because I am a watcher. In being a watcher I am able to recount for those who have asked, the events concerning the battle of the Undead versus Light and Darkness.

The evening started with a surprise visit from Zsarachnor. He began shouting across Sapience for Belladona to come into the Realm and form an alliance to fight against the return of Thoth. When Belladona did make her appearance, a bit of an insult fight ensued and it was only after Zsarachnor agreed to say that he was too weak to handle it himself that Belladona would join him.

Well, as we all know, Dusk and Dawn can't stay out of an argument such as this. *grin* Dusk came into the Realm and began to speak with Dawn about what was happening. He called to Dawn when he found that a prophecy was coming true. The prophecy stated that there would be an alliance of ancient foes. (Belladona and Zsarachnor) Dusk then brought into the account a prophecy that stated that only when Darkness and Light march as one will the Undead be driven from the surface. (Heh, who would have thought that Belladona and Zsarachnor, or Dusk and Dawn for that matter, would -ever- unite?)

From there the battle commenced. Zsarachnor and Belladona unleashed an army of Undead to scour the land and find out how deep Thoth's hold was upon it. After a time, Dawn attacked Belladona and Dusk attacked Zsarachnor. Dusk summoned a total lunar eclipse and called upon a beam of pure black energy to smite Zsarachnor. Zsarachnor's magics captured the beam of energy and transformed it into electricity that he sent towards Dusk, but Dusk summoned a shield of purple flame and absorbed the electricity. With the power of Zsarachnor's attack, Dusk launched a purple beam of purple fire at Zsarachnor that ensnared him. Belladona's attacks, though visually impressive, did little to thwart Dawn. Dawn released a beam that transformed itself into a cage around Belladona and ended her rampage. Dusk then called on the power of Twilight, God of Darkness and the power of the Shadows, the Night and the Darkness and banished Zsarachnor back to Azdun. Dawn invoking the powers of Aurora, did likewise to Belladona and sent

After the leaders of the Undead were banished, the plague of vampires and other undead wandered aimlessly without direction, then the Armies of the Light and the Dark marched across sapience and hunted them down and slew them. When Dusk and Dawn had banished Zsarachnor and Belladona, they shouted to the land that the alliance was at an end. Dusk then shouted that when next they met, Dawn would be crushed by the power of Darkness just as Zsarachnor had been.

And that is how the situation ended. Quite unique. Who would have -ever- seen the joining of forces that happened here? Surely not I.

Be well, my friends. I hope that you have all enjoyed the recount of this battle, and that for those who requested it, it was informative.
