Verge of Darkness

  As Kirinos-Halbro set foot once again on the land he had ruled in long ages past, self-loathing, and hatred for the Gualich surged through him. But he knew he would feed. He would regain physical form – if the abomination he had become could be considered such, and the Gualich riding on his soul like loathsome leeches, would gain the strength to break through the flimsy barrier keeping them from this world.

  Leading them would be Beleth, the shape shifter who had presented himself as a golden-haired man. And he couldn't prevent it, for he belonged body and soul to the demons.

  Kirinos-Halbro could sense the others gathered on the other side of the gateway, eager for the harvest that awaited them. He prayed the world had heroes powerful enough to defend it against the horror his blind ambition had unleashed so long ago.
