THE DEMAND

"Dreknalsen!"

"Yes, My Lord?"

"Where are my results?! If we are to invade the human world then we need an army. One strong enough that they couldn't fight back if they wanted to. One where we will rule supreme over both worlds. Where both realms will belong to me and my brothers!" The torches flared at the faceless lords anger.

"Our Magicians are working as fast as possible on a game changing beast."

The torches flames strength drops as the frustrated Lord's interest is piqued. "What kind of beast?" The minion smiles slightly.

"They're calling it a Hell Hound. A beast that only The Lords and Generals may control. A beast of great size and power that are viscous and unforgiving." The minion stays kneeling in silence awaiting an answer from his lord.

"Keep me updated on this hell hound. I want a daily report on the matter!" the Lord of Wrath spat at Dreknalsen.

"Of course my Lord." He replied as he edged out of the throne room.

THE CONJURE

"Any news?" Dreknalsen asked the Magicians

"Yes we can try an altered spell. We are going to try again today." they responded.

"Are you preparing now?" Dreknalsen demanded.

"As we speak." and they had their assistants clear a large space in the room. "would you like to watch?" they asked the poor demon

The demon looked at them and silently nodded.

-perhaps this is it. this could be the day I regale my Lord with the news of a monster that could give us Earth.-

The Magicians draw a strange image on the ground in chalk. Many strange symbols were around it. None of them were familiar to Dreknalsen. In all his years he thought he would recognize at least some of them, but they were all foreign yet they were similar to his own language. It was hard to explain. He shook his head.

-as long as we as the Hell Hound is made I don't care.-

Each magician takes an ingredient or two to the chalk drawing and kneels. then they begin chanting one at a time til it makes full circle. The lines of chalk begins to glow red like fire but the room around them grew colder as the light grew stronger with each ingredient. The last ingredient is put in the middle and the light is so bright it is nearly impossible to see Dreknalsen. What sounds like an explosion fills his ears and all sounds stop.

He slowly opens his eyes to see a large dog creature trying to stand and growl before him. He stands tall just as the beast moves to charge him and bellows out "Stop!" and the beast calms his demeanor and sits.

Dreknalsen looks around to see many of the magicians injured, dead or outright gone. With a wicked grin he prepares himself and their new war ally for the Lord

THE PRESENTATION

The Lord sat upon his throne holding a bloodied ax . He obviously had had a more aggravating day than most. Rubbing his temple the great Faceless Lord gazed out the window as a strange sound reaches. The maids cleaning the mess caused by their Lord pause as the sound grows to fill the room. A deep rumbling growl causes the fixtures of the room to shake.

Dreknalsen comes in riding the magnificent beast. With many more behind him. "My Lord I present you the newest addition to your army, the Hell Hound!" As they hear their name called out they howl to stone ceiling causing a great rumble in the castle.

Upon seeing the horrendous creatures the harsh chuckle escapes the Lord as pride and eagerness fills him ready to take on the new world of Earth.
