Ten: The Illgain

Ethan faces the Illgain, but not all is as it appears.

A towering, yet slender, man; the Illgain used to rely on the powerful combination of persuasion and piercing crystal blue eyes to get people to do his bidding. Now, things have grown relentlessly more complicated. Even still, things were different now. While he had been defeated before, pushed back, and forced into exile; he knew that he would now be able to call on a deeper understanding of dark magic. The Illgain is now the most powerful dark sorcerer in all the land. 

Even the legendary stories of King Arthur pail in comparison to his might. He knew that someday the courts will resound with the legends of his own greatness.

He swiped his sword down on his enemies, each blow turning its victim into a cascade of dark black sand. His armor was covered in a thick soot of those who opposed him. Even still, they persisted. They continued fighting with everything that they could, and he could not fathom why. This world had been nothing but difficult to their kind, and it was clear that it needed a strong leader.
