Dark Magus Returns

The Emperor of the empire located in the Light Faction. Who was in charge of several of the cities, villages, land, and government across the land. The empire that had changed the lives for many of the Light Faction, he was seen as a good person to the people.

However, only the older ones remembered the bloodshed that had occurred in order to get it to this point. In order for the lands to be united under one. It was a throne that was inherited, but the task was not complete, and only the current emperor had completed the task in the end to get it to the state as it was today.

Kawak hadn't had too many dealings with the current Emperor, but whenever he did meet him, there was always this overwhelming confidence in the air, that made it so Kawak didn't want to get involved, and that confidence stayed with the individual right now.

"I thought you would be begging for your life right now?" Enaxx said. "I guess you think because you are not like them, that you're not a warrior that I won't do anything." Enaxx shrugged his shoulders.

"Unfortunately for you, I don't have good news. I was under orders to help this group of people called Alter, you see, and well, they sent me to clean up this mess. It was almost as if they knew them over there wouldn't be good enough to deal with the situation."

Kawak and Cicle had gotten their answer. Enaxx had been sent from Alter, but to realize that it was Henio that had sent him, believing that they would fail. It made Kawak slightly worried, what would the situation be.

Even if they took out the Emperor now, would they consider what had happened as a complete failure? What would Henio do to the both of them now.

"I'm telling you, it's my job to get rid of those that are in the way of Alter, and you are in the way of Alter," Enaxx claimed as he lifted his hand and swung it through the air.

It was a wind slice, a sharp magical sharpened blade of wind, that when reaching an opponent would slice their head off. It was mostly invisible and was traveling at a speed that regular citizens couldn't deal with.

Although the Emperor may have been an individual that had confidence, strength, and ability to lead, he was just a regular human at the end of the day.

The wind attack then slashed and cut the throne, causing the top half of it to fall, and Enaxx smiled, expecting the Emperor's head to fall, but it never did. Instead, the Emperor finally stood up from his seat.

"What the?" Enaxx said. Immediately, he started to swing his hands one after the other.

Wind blades left them several times, and they looked to hit the Emperor's body. When they did, though, the attacks would practically go through him and attack the walls and hit the structure of the room rather than the emperor. It was almost as if the attacks were phasing through his body.

"Alright, time to burn you instead then!" Enaxx shouted as he fired out a fireball.

When this was about to hit the Emperor, he lifted his hand, and a ball of water started to gather. He fired it out, crashing it into the fireball, and mist and steam had quickly entered the room.

"That's enough," the Emperor said. "I think everything has played out as long as it should have."

Enaxx was confused as he saw what had just been used. There was no doubt about it, it was water that had come out of the Emperor's hand, but not just any water. It was magic.

"You can use magic, are you from Alterian?" Enaxx asked. "Even if you are a mage, that won't help you against me."

"You might be right about that," the Emperor said as he lifted his hand to touch his face. "But, I was the one that ordered you to come here in the first place."

After touching his face, the emperor had pulled off what looked like a strange wooden mask. It was rigid with slits and sockets for eyes. When pulled away from the face, the entire Emperor's face was changing, along with his soft hair color and other features of his body.

It was as if an entirely new person was standing there. The moment they saw who it was, both of Cicle's and Kawak's hearts sank into the pit of their stomachs, and they immediately threw their head down to the ground.

"It's you!" Kawak said.

"What is going on?" Enaxx asked.

"Don't worry too much about the details," the man said.

As Kawak and Cicle lifted their heads, they wondered. Why, why was it that the leader of Alter was standing right in front of them? Why was Henio in the Emperor's seat?

"I ordered you to come here, to help these defeat the Divine warriors," Henio asked. "It wasn't so much a test for you but a test for them. I wanted to see how far they would go for the sake of Alter."

"I see… things are making some sense now," Enaxx grunted. "I don't like how I was used, but I guess you had your reasons. But then what of the real Emperor of this place. Did you get rid of him before I arrived?"

"No," Henio replied. "I have obtained this position long ago. I have been in charge of the empire for an incredibly long time. The length and power of Alter is further than any of you could have imagined."

"As for this mask here, it's a special artifact that we have. It allows an individual to change into any person they want to be. As long as the wearer has seen them once before. With this, there can be quite the disturbance in the world of Pagna."
