“Damn him! Damn him to the abyss!” shouted Spawn punching one of the flasks on the table inside his secret lab sending glass shards all over. He slowly walked around his lab pondering about his next move. “Talon doubts my power! But I shall show him!” he said to himself walking over to another table with a large piece of blackrock on it. He placed his hand around the rock picking up off the table. “Soon I shall find a way to harness the abilities of this rock and my power shall increase tenfold!” he brought the blackrock into the light admiring it with a grin. Suddenly, the door opened with his servant Hunter entering the lab. Spawn looked over his shoulder at the servant placing the blackrock back on the table.

“Milord, Is there anything you require from me?” asked Hunter looking at the blackrock then back at Spawn.

“No I do not need anything at the moment Hunter” Spawn said slowly turning around now facing his servant. Hunter looked at the blackrock with some concern on his face. “Is something wrong?” asked Spawn noticing the servant’s concern.

“Sir, is that blackrock?” asked the servant. Spawn nodded slowly picking up blackrock off the table.

“Why yes… yes it is blackrock” replied Spawn holding the rock out in front of his servant. Hunter backed away a bit somewhat afraid of Spawn and the blackrock. “Do not be afraid Hunter… this is future of my house” Spawn said placing the blackrock on the table walking toward his servant.

“With all due respect sir that rock has an evil history” Hunter said pointing to the blackrock. Spawn’s eyes narrowed as he grabbed his servant by the collar dragging him to his library on the other side of the lab. The servant let out a small groan as Spawn threw him to the ground.

“No! The blackrock shall enhance my power!” Spawn shouted as he went through the bookshelves. He then pulled out a red hard-covered book throwing it on the ground next to the servant. The servant watched as Spawn kneeled down flipping through the pages frantically. He stopped at a certain page and showing his servant where to read. “Read it!” Spawn commanded standing back to his feet. As he walked towards the fire pit, the servant read over the page he was shown with his eyes widening when he was done.

“A…Ar…Armageddon!?!” The servant looked towards Spawn somewhat surprised and scared. “You plan on casting Armageddon!?!” asked the servant standing to his feet.

“No… well not like that… more like a city scale” Spawn replied looking over his shoulder.

“City?” Hunter then looked around the room then back at Spawn. “pSanctus… you plan on using Armageddon on Sanctus!?! Thisis insanity sir!” Hunter shouted. The servant walked towards Spawn holding his hands together. “Please sir think of all the people who would die” pleaded Hunter. Spawn suddenly grabbed the servant by his neck lifting him off the ground.

“Fool! Do not attempt to stop me!” Spawn said as he threw the servant to the ground. Hunter stood up to his feet and started to run away from him fleeing out of the lab. Spawn turned around facing the fire pit gazing into the lava. “Talon shall surrender his throne or die along with his wench pixie of a wife!” he said to himself. “Soon the world shall feel my form of justice!” Spawn continued as he walked away from the fire pit heading out of his lab. “Now it’s time for me to uphold the law... my law!” He said as he walked out of the lab slamming the door behind him.

Talon watched with a mix of shock and amusement as Spawn named himself overlord of Sanctus. This was definately not the typical behavior of the man he had known since childhood.

Following the speech, the remaining people of Sanctus did what most outsiders didn't think they would...stay loyal. The mob of remaining Sanctians brushed past the former Chancellor, some even trying to walk him over in a show of solidarity for Sanctus and contempt for their former hero.

The King sighed as his longtime friend turned and walked to his home.

********************************************************

A loud knock on the door of the library brought Talon out of the book he was reading.

"Enter!" shouted the King.

His son entered with his usual indifferent and casual attitude.

"Father, I have spoken with my Lord Uncle. I do not bring good news," informed Kainen.

"I see he didn't try and kill you, as he preaches to everyone who will listen," growled the King.

"No, he is not himself lately...but does not seem to be totally lost to darkness yet. I asked him if he had been researching Blackrock."

"And?" asked Talon.

"He stated that maybe he was, and maybe he wasn't. Which most surely means he is..." intoned the Prince. "He is set on killing the Queen and plotting insurrection against the Kingdom. But I do not feel that the Spawn we know and love is truely in control anymore."

"I will not raise arms against my own blood, nor would you be willing to," stated the King.

"You may not have a choice in that matter, Father. Whatever he is now, he seeks to destroy Sanctus."

"The people proved to him tonight that they will not follow him. But, it would seem those that seek our downfall have flocked to his side. I will not suffer to hear their names mentioned," said the King.

"I will begin looking into ways to help rid him of his affliction. I have only heard accounts death when it comes to the employment of Blackrock. I am unaware of anyone recovering from its influence."

"Do not underestimate the will of your Uncle. I have known him all my life. His will is stronger than the purest steel. We must find a way to cure him before lives are lost, either his or our own people's."

With that the Prince departed to begin his research.
