CHAPTER 4
A man; bound by chains from all limbs! A storm of flame; and a horrid screech!
"Release me...! Release me!"
"Who are you? Are you too a servant of the mage?"
"Mangrel dog...you insult...my existence! I am...I am Baelund!"
"Impossible..."
"But it is...and what is...is endless torment! Release me at once! I will eat the heart of that foul demon dog! Curse him!"
"For all my ancestors..."
And it is so that you slash the chains of black metal; and it is so that He stands before you; a skin of flame and burned char!
"And I am Baelund the Wild; king of the tripartite clans; King of all good men! Lo! Lo! Lo and hail the millennia! What once was is here again! And what should be dead...will rue...For the gods themselves have smiled and granted the greatest of boons! Victory shall be ours again, o sons!"
You remember his words; of olden times, of every song and in every book!
"*AS ABOVE, SO BELOW*
LISTEN TO MY WORDS, SONS OF FURY
FOR I´T IS I, BAELUND, KING OF KINGS:
IT IS SO THAT A MAN, WHILE LIVING, WILL NEVER TRULY LIVE
AND WHILE DEAD, WILL NEVER TRULY DIE
BUT REST ASSURED THAT HE WILL TRY REGARDLESS"
And the hammer falls!
