Chapter 11: Dark Star
THE EXILES OF OLD SHALL RETURN
THE FLAMES OF VENGEANCE SHALL BURN
BEWARE THE HERALD OF THE SKIES
A DARK STAR ON THE RISE
-----------Deathbed Prophecy of Emperor Hilmoore III

After years of exile beyond the borderlands, followers of Orichi the Chaos resurfaced and snuck back to Tartaros, capital of the Demon Empire. They've waited too long, hungering for what they had lost. This time, they brought back the Dark Crucifix that was hidden beneath the deepest trench of the Defile Sea. It was forged by Orichi himself eons ago. In his wickedness, he broke the ancient commandments and channeled unspeakable destructive power into the Dark Crucifix, endowing it with a dark power as unparalleled as that of Orichi. Shortly after the Termination, it was sealed by deities with blood of unicorns, buried beneath the Defile Sea.

The Undead Demon King, Emperor Hilmoore III, convened all demonic mages from every corner of the continent to the wrecked Arcane Tower to find out how to unseal the power of the Dark Crucifix. Day and night, the Arcane Tower was lit with a surreal light.

When a stream of incandescent violet light shot through the top of the Arcane Tower, the entire Demon Empire awoke in celebration. Ancient gears of war hummed and began turning for the first time in millennia. The Demonic populace clamored in excitement. They were convinced the fate of humanity was sealed. The gods themselves could not stand against them now!

As Emperor Hilmoore III reviewed these forces of evil, he grinned and commanded, "Let the hunt begin!"
