Twilight Island
The ArchMage Tournament Prelims

(Back story: 10 years ago, Lem DeAngelo apprenticed himself to the Dark Wizard Exodorius in order to regain the title of ArchMage. Utilizing a strange crystal that lay hidden in a cave in the mountains near the Tower of Earth, a young Lem, (presumed to be mid 20's) found new powers that he planned to use in the ArchMage tournament. However, he failed in the first round of the ArchMage tournament and was struck down by Exodorius and would not be seen again until the summer of 2007. His new appearance was that of a withered old man, yet still full of his carefree, often considered quirky, personality.)

The Island was buzzing with the amount of mana expended during the preliminary matches. Most of the matches went into a sudden death and had approached or exceeded the 15 round limit. Vinny had already bested Lem and Russel and would soon be facing William Wulfson for the throne and the key to the citadel. Lem prepared to take leave for the night and head to his small cottage near The Glade on the Eastern Shores of the Island. Lem turned to displace away from the rings when a dark figure, draped in robes of midnight black stepped out of the shadows......

Lem: "Well well. Dragus."

::Topaz waved to Dragus:: "Good evening"

::Dragus's silent steps lead him towards DeAngelo:: "So. You've been hiding here."

Lem: "Call it what you will, but yeah I've been here. What brings you this way? I didn't think you'd ever step foot on the Island."

Topaz: "A friend of yours, Lem?"

::Lem cut his eyes toward Topaz:: "Hmmm. not quite."

::Russ stepped from the ring, gave a look to those on the island, then toward Dragus, before he turned and started off toward the tower of Air::

Dragus Zeal: "This Island means nothing to me. Nor him. He'll come now that he knows you're here."

::Lem shook his head:: "Yeah I'm sure doomy gloomy will be on his way. What with the potential Archmage transition approaching."

::Dragus gave him a cruel grin:: "You're not quite as dim witted as you appear."

Lem: "That's debatable."

Topaz: "Who's Doomy Gloomy?"

Lem: "An old acquaintance from long ago....."

::Russ's vanishing form swirled into the wind disappearing to the tower::

Lem: "Not much of a personality."

Topaz: "The more the merrier" He might find one on the isle."

Lem: "The only thing he's looking for is chaos."

Topaz: "He should come for the next mega cast."

Dragus Zeal: "He duels not for this "Sport" of yours."

Lem DeAngelo: "That's because he's afraid. He knows what Klytus's rings could do him. But I don't expect he'll be finding out about my return to the Island anyway."

::Dragus arched his brow:: "Oh really? And how do you plan on keeping this from him?"

::Lem gave a soft chuckle:: "I don't expect you'll be bringing him the message any time soon." ::Lem made a quick lunges for Dragus's wrist and grasped hold as they both vanished into the Twilight Sky. The sounds of abnormal thunder were immediately heard to the south of the Rings which were forged by the hands of Klytus in order to give protection to the Island's patrons.....
