In the room the presense of evil energy seemed especially strong this day. An eiry purple mist origionating from this room begain to spread through the labrynth. A slight tremer able to be felt from even the furthest corners. One of the greatest evils there was, was now ready to be awakened. He just needed his master to return and do it.

Eventually the growing evil was just too much. The wall begain to shatter and shake, large chunks of stone falling off. here was a roar as the skeletal dragon stepped out onto the ground. A roar emmination from it's empty body. It's empty sockets begain to glow bright red and the dragon spread the skeletal wings. Slowly the bones of it's body begain to shift red, it's body filling out. Muscles and organs grew, being covered over by skin that parted and hardned into scales. With a triamphant roar the red scaled dragon caused the whole Labyrinth to shake, enought that in this room more stones to crack and shatter from the walls. He glanced about himself with glowing eyes, looking for one that should be there.

And indeed he was.
Stepping out behind a pillar of dark stone, the feathered dragon Rafael grinned, deep purple eyes dancing with twisted mirth. A strange purple glow engulfed his gaze, and the feathers adorning his frame. The purple in his eyes pinwheeled, becoming pure black.
"I may appear before you differently, Direina Lich, but I am still Kre, your ally from centuries ago. Good to see you again - first one to wake, as always. Well... after me, anyway. Isandre's seal is finally starting to wear off after all this time, so the others should be along soon. But first - I'm assuming you want to know about the new situation?"

The Lich closed his wings and regarded Rafiel with cold eyes for a moment. "The situation is not so important. If she is alive then she shall be killed. What of this world on this year. Does the damned moon still shift red?"

The strangely glowing gaze of Rafael-turned-Kre regarded Lich for a moment, before the dragon replied.
"Not as often as it did before, but yes. As far as I am aware, it only shifts once every few months. The world of this year... well, it is not so different. Neither am I, aside from the new body, and neither is Isandre. And neither are you, if you are asking me that question. But knowledge... now, knowledge is different. Many of the old ways are lost, as is the memory of our existence and our goals. It will simply make our job easier, for if they remain unknowing, so will that cursed hellkite, and we will remain free. If they remember, they will no doubt try and seal us away again."

"That Hellkite?" he asked raisig an eyebrow. "Are the others of this world dead already?" The dragon stepped towards the other, though in a path he ment to walk around him.

"No - there are a group still around, though there are probably more of them that are still in stasis or haven't yet reincarnated. You never know. To my knowledge there is Isandre, who we target first to stop her resealing us, and another whom I have sensed. He appears to be the stronger one, could well be the one whom we were planning on targeting after getting rid of Isandre, but as I said, I'm not one hundred percent certain. I've been too busy trying to prevent the spread of knowledge to go and scout out. Plus, if the hellkites have all reincarnated ina group, we have to be wary of them - we are powerful, but they are not to be forgotten."

The Lich laughed, it was a cold and evil sound. "You have just contradicted yourself Kre. They are to be forgotten, is that not our goal?" The red dragon walked right past the other, looking into the maze. "And we will see to it. How much time do we have until you plan for your attack on Isandre? I need to know how much time I have to gather my cold dead friends."

Kre chuckled in reply, stretching out his slightly ghostly wings.
"Yep, that's me - a contradiction. But you already knew that, didn't you? What I meant was that until we have gauged the strength of the new incarnations and the hellkites themselves, we should be on guard. After all, ignorance often leads to death, or sealing as the proverb that I just made up says. And as for the attack, I plan to launch it on the new moon. Should be a good fight, they are expecting us."

"Correction, they are expecting you." The lich hissed lowly as his eyes looked back at the other dragon. "I am not so much expected, I do not even think Isandre will expect to see me, that is if she hasn't forgotten me as well. What of others, is there any else that has newly joined us- You?"

Kre chuckled again.
"True - they always say surprise is the best tactic, Lich, so you've just about summed it up. From what I have learned she has only remembered what happened at the last battle. She knew nothing about you. She thought the whole of the forces were still sealed. As for anyone joining us, we have one new recruit, Neraika. She has the makings of a fine lieutenant, I think."

"Well if she's moving and breathing then it should be good enough." The dragon's deep red eyes closed and his whole body seemed to flicker. For a brief second he had been the skeletal dragon again. "I depict that only half of those sealed in this place will be able to get up again. The rest are truly dead."

Rafael couldn't help but huff.
"Should've known those low-level foot soldiers wouldn't survive the sealing. Too much magical energy in there for the dark power to keep their bodies alive. Oh well - after we've dealt with Isandre and her allies, we'll have to recruit before we resurrect the army and head out. After all, what's a few weeks in world conquest? We'll rule for millennia."

The Lich chuckled at that. "Is this world so weak? Have you spent time seeing the rest of the world, or did you simply keep an eye on Isandre the whole time?" He asked. The Lich did not fear speaking rashly to Kre. He was not Kre's servant as the rest of these still frozen Dragons were, he had volunteered his services. But also at his own terms. If ever he took an order from Kre, it was because it benefited Lich as well. Kre was just lucky so many of their goals were the same.

Kre tilted his head, black eyes cold and considering for a moment before lighting with a calculating glitter.
"No - I've seen this world while I've been sealed. I had my ways. This world isn't weak, but its protectors are few and far between, spread out across continents. We would have little opposition, aside from the group that reside above this labyrinth in the Blood and Moon dragon territories. I believe they could provide some entertainment. That and those bothersome pests from that damned island. I'm sure that even though they're long dead they'd find some way to interfere with our plans."
