five guards stand blocking your way to the castle to the south, but standing a good distance from the hylian guards. "No trespassers!" they say as they see you, and they ready their weapons.

"No...trespassers? What in the 7 hells are you fools doing? Don't stand in my way, or you shall perish." The Tempest spoke, raising his hand and readying a spell. "what will it be? death, or will you move."

The guards back up a little, then stop. "Hehehe... we have a feisty one, do we?" Said a strange voice. It seemed to resonate around Sovelis, as if the dunes themselves were speaking. Sand sprayed up in the air as a crimson red lightning bolt struck the ground in front of him. When it had settled, a man in gleaming black armor stood there. "Oh, it's the tempest. What are you doing so close to my fortress? I don't see Leth anywhere."

"Er...your fortress? You never told me where it was!" Sovelis yelled as he stood his ground. "So your the one who wanted Leth so badly...I guess I'll have the pleasure of being the one to dispose of you." Said the Tempest as he struck out with a simple spell. "ELEMENTAL BURST!" he shouted as he cast the spell, and it turned out to be fire. The fireball speed at the black-armor clad man, roaring with power as Sovelis ran behind it, sword in his real hand, and arm-blade sliding out into place on his mechanical left arm. "DIE FIEND!" Shouted Sovelis as attacked right after impact of the fireball.

Yes, there was impact, alright... but not on Pearanus. Sovelis' arm blade also seemed to hit something that was not armor. When the smoke from the fireball cleared away, There was a large boulder in place of Pearanus. A laugh emerged form behind Sovelis. "Die, fiend? That's not very creative. Come on, surely you can do better?"

"Burning in the depths of the pits of darkness, let the fires of hell take you, let the fires of hell become my sword and strike you down, VENOM!!! " Sovelis screamed with manly roar as he let loose the powers of Sovel upon the man, burning at him with hellfire of another world.

Pearanus' eyes widen in surprise as he dodged, then he resumes his stance. "Hmm.. how to deal with you... you certainly are turning out to be more of a problem than you seemed... tell me; with all your power, why don't you join our side? After all, there is no reason for you to be my enemy. What offense have I committed against you? These guards are merely protecting my castle."

"Let me think....Side with the forces of evil and break my oath as a Tempest, becoming what I swore to destroy, or fight you and be a hero, like normally do..." Sovelis stood there thinking. "I think its time for you to die. TEMPESTS WIND!!!" he held up his real hand. The wind kicked up, driving sand towards Pearanus and his troops with the force of a sandstorm.

"Sand? Please, if I am going to live in a desert, you'd think I'd know how to counter a simple sandstorm." He says, as he creates a barrier around himself. "Now, you, Sovelis, are no ordinary tempest. You have a demon inside of you. A very powerful, very evil demon called Sovel. I have seen you use its power before, sometimes not for the best purposes... and you worry about oaths? Sovelis, listen and use the power inside of you, for the things it longs to do! Join me, and release your anxieties. I, too have a demon inside of me. I tried to hold it back, but the urge was to great. I gave up. I gave way to its power, and now I am free from him." Then, Pearanus' eyes glow. Remember me, Sovel? I am the demon called Itex. It looks like we share the same fate, locked inside of a human. It must be horrible to reside in a human devoted to good. My human listens to me, and together, we accomplish the evil I live for. Do you think you will ever get your human to listen to you? Itex was speaking directly to Sovel!

Sovelis's eyes glowed red as Sovel spoke back to Itex. So...you to have suffered the same fate I did, Itex? I had wondered what had become of you... He said through Sovelis's mouth. Shall we lay wast upon this world together? Or shall I allow my host to seal you deeper into your human? I am bound to Sovelis's soul itself, that is why he can control me so.

Yes, Sovel. I believe it would be best if we worked together once more. But if you are bound to his soul, I don't know how we will be able to 'lay waste to the world.' Quite a problem, I'd say. Unless you could find a way to break free... I'll see if I can come up with something... But for now, we must do our best.

I shall do as he tells me for the ime being, but I shall not become a caged animal. Sovel said to Itex.

When should I expect a jail break? Asks Itex, clearly wanting it to be soon.

How the hell should I know? If the seal breaks, it could kill me along with Sovelis. I'd rather not die if your planning on poking around on a Sacred Seal.Sovel said, clearly getting angry.

Hmmm... that's a problem... ah well. It cannot be helped. Pearanus' eyes return to their normal color, and he looks warily at Sovelis, unsure what he is going to do.
