You consider your options. And come up empty. Not only does every fiber of you being scream at you to bow down before Him, your creator and Eternal Master of all Things Dark, there is also the fact that most likely you could never escape Him. There´s more magic screaming about Him than there is in the entire remaining cavern, the pit and yourself included. None of your tricks will even bother Him in the slightest. And even if you managed to get out of this place you´re in the middle of His domain. He would find you, no question. Finally facing Him directly will only end in your swift end, especially considering the fact your body is made for stealth and less for confrontations.
Thus you make the only true choice. Bending your knee, the left fist pressed against your right chest and the other arm resting on your knee you lower your head before speaking.
“I swear to serve you faithfully until the day my end comes, to fulfill all your commands as you desire, to never rest until your will is done. You shall forever be my one true Lord.”
Your voice is hoarse but strong and halls in the silence of the cavern. The Dark One just continues to stare in silence and for a moment you fear to have insulted Him. Said moment is shattered with the cacophonous cackle of Majordomo.
“Hehehe, the thing can actually talk. And it thinks itself deserving of such privileges in your esteemed presence. But yes, show your servitude to your betters and kneel in the dust as you should!”
“Silence Uldar! He swore to me and I accept, do not overstep your own bounds. And you minion, for daring to speak out of turn, I sincerely hope you can stand up to your claims or your fate will be worse than all you could ever imagine.”
Amused by the chastisement of the worm, you´re immediately brought back by the Lords following statement, shuddering in no small amount of fear and respect. Finished speaking the Dark One motions you to rise and as you do smoke gathers around your from. By the time you fully stand you’re fully cloaked in black cured leather armor, fitting your form perfectly. Trying to move soon proves it doesn´t hinder your own movements.
“This armor was made from the hides of other shadowbeast, it should work well with your abilities. And as you wish to serve me, here is your first task. On the eastern borders of my domain something has passed my barrier. This happens and normally would only mean some self-titled heroes. But there are no news of such an annoyance, instead several local garrisons which are not on the way to my citadel have ceased to communicate. This is not normal ‘heroic’ behavior, they just rush to their **** trying to kill me. Whilst I already have sent some scouts, after your words have to prove to be faster and better than them. Find out what transpires there and return to inform me. Succeed and you will gain acceptance and one day maybe even a place on my side. Fail and seal your fate. Now go.”
The moment He finished His speech, you race to the exit. Already a late start, you have to make up for it fast. Let´s hope you find what´s plaguing your Masters domain.
