114 Chapter 8 The Journey Though the Forest of Frigh

Morgone landed Zorgone in the valley of Ezra outside of the realm of Direroot, he demounted and patted his hydra " I will hopefully be back."

The crisp winter breeze blow from inside the hollow town of Direroot. He walked though the streets, the houses bare and ruined by the passage of time.

He stopped in his tracks as he reached the town of Farcry, he felt a Kyi thatchilled Morgone to the bone. The Old Bell. Morgone knew of its call and the powers

ancient as the Old Gods and as powerful as Black Kings of the Nine Underhells, the Old Bell reminded in the world of the living its bell that wait silently to ring its somber song bring forth the end of all things and ushering in the Elder Gods.

Far Cry was the place that protected the bell until its destion,

Morgone placed his hand on a worn piller "The Last Song of the Bell was the fall the city of Far Cry and all were dead by sunrise or so the story says."

Beyond Far Cry was a forest as dark as night and its piercing darkness that corrupted the woods and all around it. With its dark powers, he knew the power of Dark Kyi all to well.

Morgone looked at the ring of the golden Hyrda and could feel its power running though his blood. He could still hear the screams of the gorblins as he slayed them one by one, there blood coating the streets, screams of death echoing into the night of those warriors in his path.

Morgone could feel the ancient dark Kyi that flowed from the earth and is full of evil creatures that were exiled to live in this Forest.

Outside of this forest was an old sign made of splintered wood that was falling into pieces. Morgone walked over to the sign that was covered with the same twisted dark green vines that covered the trees in the forest, much of the text had become slurred and unreadable due to age. The only legible part of this ancient sign with the name of the forest, Morgone bent down and read the name of the forest

"The Forest of Fright."

"Well, no turning back now." Morgone said as he pressed onto the dark forest listening to the crunch of the leaves and the snapping of the many animal bones he stepped on and broke.

He heard small animals running through the brush. Morgone shivered as a cold wind brushed past him sending a chill down his spine. But Morgone was not afraid, for he had been here more than once said he knew what to expect out of all the creatures, tricks, and traps that happen in the forest. Morgone knew everything about the Forest of Fright. He even knew something that only certain few know about this forest. The secret was, that the forest changes and is the never is the same thing twice.

"Die!" Die!" shouted two winged harpies from a tree.

Morgone picked up a rock and threw it at the harpy and shouted "Die yourself you winged witch!" One of the harpies fell to the ground dead the other harpy that all bloodcurdling scream Morgone looked up and saw that in the sky were thousands of harpies screaming at the top of the lungs as the storm of harpies descended on Morgone with their long sharp sword like claws and their blade like teeth did extended.

This was supposed to scare him it did not only made him happy, it exitced him, the power corusing though his veins, he opened his clawed hand dark purple lighting arching inbetween his fingers,

As Morgone was traveling through the forest of fright Morgone said to himself "yes my theory is correct the more time I spend here the more powerful I become. soon the first part of my plan will be complete for world absorbed all the powers from all seven dark power crystals atop the Dark Spire I will then be one step closer to my ultimate goal."

Morgone stopped when he reached a large door that is made of Darkiorement with is an unbreakable dark magical material Morgone looked at the door and saw that had many different symbols on it most that he could not read and in ancient text on the top read " this is the Door to the Realm of Morphazar ruled by the Spider King all who enter this realm most worship him or perish."

Once Morgone read this warning the doors opened to reveal a long stone path that lead to a large mountainous realm. As Morgone walked down the long stone pathway he saw a huge castle with tall dark stone towers looming over all of Morphazar.

Morgone was pleased as to see this Castle he said excitedly " Ah this is the castle of the Spider King. All I need is his permission to go to the Spire. Then I will be one step closer to my goal." Morgone then reached a huge stone gateway that read in large letters " THE GATEWAY OF THE SPIDER KINGDOM" Morgone read the inscription and then entered the spider kingdom as he thought " I hope that the Spider King has not forgotten about the deal we mad
