    -Orochi-
    [Runefaust Castle]


    "How are you feeling my lord?" Came a familiar voice. Orochi's eyes slowly opened. That familiar voice...it was always there for him. It was..."Lord Orochi are you awake?" Da Ji asked. Yes, Da Ji. That is who it was. Da Ji was always there for him. She stood before him, dressed in her sorceress's gown.

    This is where Orochi noticed he was suspended in the air. Looking behind him, he noticed two large pipes connected to his back. The extended from his back into the wall behind him. Orochi looked back at Da Ji and mumbled something that not even he could understand.

    Da Ji meant to ask what Lord Orochi meant, but she was interupted by a new voice. "Excellent! You may leave us Da Ji.." Said the newcomer. Da Ji glared at the cloaked man, said nothing, and departed. The voice was smooth and masculine. He wore a black and red colored cloak around his body from the neck down.

    The thing that caught Orochi's attention the most was his deformed head. Two metallic bunny-like ears were sticking out for his head and they were drooped over his face. The tips of them were sharpened to be like spears.

    "You may not remember me, Lord Orochi, but I am Darksol. I am a faithful servent to you and I saved your life." Darksol told Orochi. This made the Serpent King grunt, which helped clear his throat. "And, Darksol...do you expect a reward?" Orochi's rough, demonic voice muttered. Darksol mearly shook his head.

    Last Orochi saw of Darksol, he was fighting Zuo Ci and Mawlock. Zuo Ci was one of the strongest mystics from China. Most noticble about him was his whispy pencil then mustache and beard. Mawlock on the other hand was a very large creature. His entire body, except his feet, hands, and head was colored red. His hands and feet were metallic like and his head was metallic like with a white mane growing out of it. Both Zuo Ci and Mawlock were masters at weilding Fate Cards, objects that helped bring about Orochi's downfall.

    Did Darksol's appearence mean he defeated them? That would be a question to be asked at a later time. Darksol cleared his throat and said, "Lord Orochi, to maintain your health I have connected your body to Dark Valves; objects that transfer dark energy into your body to heal your internal wounds." Darksol explained.

    Orochi felt it working already. Each passing second it was easier to move, see, and breathe. "How long until I am ready to fight again?" Orochi asked Darksol, who shrugged. "The valves will disappear when you are fully healed" Darksol said.

    "Excellent work Darksol..." Orochi muttered. "Summon Dong Zhou, Lu Bu, the Date boy, and Da Ji. We must discuss plans to extract my revenge.." Orochi ordered, and Darksol nodded and went to do his bidding. "Soon," Orochi said to himself in the grand, empty room, "I will be a new lord, a new Serpent King. Soon I will be Reborn!"
