The mist was bombarding his eyesight. Rallika swiped his hand through the mist to clear his view but to no avail, the mist returned. Soon the mist formed horrifying images that only merely shocked him. "To me" "Who's there? Show yourself!" Rallka received no response and he continued forward, stumblng in the mist and mud. He fell down face-first into the mud. He lifted his head and realised his right hand was touching something other than mud and mist."Gaaah!" he raised his hand to see a bone arm sticking out of the mud holding a paladin sword. "Cursed paladins! They always try to kill me during my search for the answers to my past! Just because I'm half-demon doesn't mean I'm an abomination!" He got up and continued through the mist. "Bring...to me" "Stop being a coward and show your face!" Through the mist he thought he saw a being wearing a black robe and hood, beckoning him. "You, come here! Are you the one who's constantly taunting me?" "Hmmhmmhmmhmm. Foolish being." The mist began to thin out and Rallika saw the being beckon him with its hand. Rallika felt like he was being hypnotised. He shook his head and drew his sword "Look whoever you are what do you want? I've had enough of confrontations so back off!"The cloaked figure raised his hidden hand and it conjured black mist, and it was moving toward Rallika. Rallika stepped back and swung his sword toward the mist but it kept coming. "Pathetic being. You are mine now." "What? Never! You will never command me!" The mist stopped right in front of Rallka then rose into the air and formed a dragon. It then solidified and became a real dragon. "Now my pet, attack!" The dragon's tail encircled Rallika like a serpent and squeezed him hard. It then lowered its head and its eyes met Rallika's. "Now I will give you one chance: join me peacefully or suffer the consequences." "You monster! When I get loose I'm going to make you wish you were never given life!" The being merely laughed " You think you have a chance against me? Ha! You leave me no choice. Now my pet, do it. Rallika you will regret ever coming to this world." The dragon's head faced Rallika's face and breathed the black mist. The dragon became mist again and entered Rallika through his mouth. "Now you are my minion. You will serve me and only me. You will obey only me and obey all of my commands. The ritual is almost complete, now I am one step closer to overthrowing Raku and become supreme Dark God. Muhuhahahahaha!" "Curse you! No! It's not true! He screamed in agony as he felt the being pierce his brain, heart and soul. He finally collapsed, hearing the necromancer's laugh and then everything went silent and black. A plant moved as a leg brushed past it. "Who dares intrude on my ritual!"

Lance heard someone scream horribly, and it sound like it hurt a lot. He decided to run through the bush and muck. Just as he got a clear view his leg brushed past a plant. A cloaked figure turned to him and bellowed "Who dares disturb my ritual?" "I do, unholy monster! Die!" Lance charged at the hooded being and sliced at its chest. It stepped back and drew two red beam swords. It slashed at Lance but missed. The dragon breathed black fire upon Lance. Lance jumped to the side and accidently bumped into the being, knocking its hood off its head. What was revealed was shocking. He looked just like Rallika except for white spiked hair and red eyes. "You've found me out, but you'll never live to tell the tale!" "You wish!"

Rallika came to and got up, unsheathed his swords and charged "Doppleganger!" He slashed and saw the newcomer by the corner of his eye. He looked surprisingly familiar, like someone he's known for his entire life. Before he could think this through the doppleganger attacked him. Rallika blocked the attack and countered. Rallika hit the doppleganger in the face and thrusted at his chest. He blocked and knocked Rallika back with a slash. The dragon swiped at Rallika but missed. "I'm tired of this, get serious!" "Hmph, you haven't seen me trying!" The dopplegangerraised his right sword and his left sword in front. In an instant he was behind Rallika. Before he could turn around 10 slashes made contact with Rallika and reopened an injury on his right shoulder. Blood spurted out and stained his longsword. He gripped his re-injures shoulder "Agh, that smarts! You are going down!"
