Downy Reed
Downy Reed was many things, a teacher, a schemer, a general, and the offspring of a line of necromancers that stretched a thousand years into the past, but if there was one thing he was most of all it was a sore loser.
“General watch out!”
“Damn it! Even now the Barnfriets interfere with Gods plans!?”
A flash of light and the roar of the Barnfriets Mystic Cannon were the last things he heard before he was swamped in darkness and swept into the void.
His body wrecked with pain he awoke with a start, a quick look around was all it took to realize he was no longer in the command room of the Gargantua rather it appeared he was in the alleyway of some forsaken city far away from the current battle going on in his time.
“Imnity respond!”
“G… al … yo..r c..nn..n …ak…”
“Damn it Imnity! I don’t have time for this!”
It was apparent to Downy that he was no longer on Avatar that’s the only explanation he could find for his sudden weak connection to the White Book, but if he wasn’t on Avatar then where was he?
“Did I land in some backwater branch world then?”
This time he looked around in more detail, the brick buildings and concrete ground was clearly much different than the dirt and wooden city walls he had grown used to.
He needed to find his way back to Avatar asap but he couldn’t do it alone, no that would take too long, for the moment perhaps the best plan of action would be to create enough interference so that he could be found by the White book, yes that would be much faster.
Hmm in that case perpetual gates are the choice of action.
Best to get started then.
Sensing that the mana forces were strong enough in this area he quickly summoned up the writing apparatus used for drawing the necessary summoning circle required in such a complex gate, one of the perks of having dimensional capabilities.
**********
Although he had knowledge of creating the gates and even assisted in making the main one in Avatar it was still a grand task for him to overtake even after several hours of work all he could manage was a gate not even on the same scale as the one in Avatar, but it would do for the moment at least.
Making one last run through to double check his work he made a quick glance at the sky making note that it was much darker than before.
Again another wave of his hand and the circle began to glow.
“הקסם חבוי בכל הדברים שסביבנו האנרגיה הנשימה שלך לתת למעגל החיים הזה מחדש”
Brighter and brighter still the light came forth as if to bring the fires of destruction to this world, his mark would be the sign of the end, because to the man known as Downy Reed this world was only a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things, yes to him only one world mattered, the Root World known as Avatar.
The ground began to rumble and the light from the circle crackled in energy before finally letting out a loud hiss returning to a low glow, a cloaked figure emerged and with it Downy knew that his attempt had been a success.
‘Hmm not bad for my first try.’
“You there, keep this circle operational send any more of your kind to me and the rest to guard yourself, I have much to do before tomorrow.”
A silent nod was all that was needed before the shadowy figure turned and began its own casting rites, continuing the ritual.
The troublesome thing about these perpetual gates is that they required constant maintenance in order to maintain operation, but on a plus side to that and depending on the size, the gates can easily summon a battalion of monsters all ready to bring chaos and destruction to the world, something the White book would eventually be able to locate.
However Downy was still rather new to the art of summoning and, while the feat he had just performed was by no means small, it would still take a good amount of time for it to make any amount of difference, until then he need only to wait in the shadows expelling any threat that may come across his plan.
As he left the alleyway and emerged into the decaying streets of the city a second flash and hiss sounded off as a reptilian figure emerged into view sword and shield in hand already standing guard around the circle.
Yes the force known as ruin had come to this city and with it the man known as Downy Reed.
