Cadmus rose slowly from the cold embrace of the cavern floor, blood spilling from his wounded mouth staining the chest of his armor.
Landaren, or Neradnal as he now called himself, stood over the injured Priest's body, his Hellhound and brutish follower standing close to his side.
Cadmus raised his head, his eyes meeting his attackers, but any recognition of his former companion had been stripped away by the dark gifts that Bane had seen fit to provide his loyal servant.
"Have you fallen so far then boy that you attack those you once called friend?"
Neradnal merely laughed at the words, a dark haunting sound that seemed less than human.
'You should lay the blame at the feet of the Triumverate." "It is they who chose to hide my birthright, and it is they who shall suffer my wrath."
Cadmus rose to one knee, his battered body straining under the movements.
I may not have the strength to stop you alone Landaren..for that is your true name regardless of what you might say, but I shall not stand alone." "The temple of Helm shall rise against you." "Your atrocities shall not go unpunished."
Neradnal turned and began to exit the caves, his demonic followers in tow.
"I am Neradnal now Cadmus....you would do well to remember that name." "Consider yourself lucky that I leave you alive....others have been shown no such mercy."
The old priest succumbed to his wounds at last, as he drifted off into the darkness the sound of laughter echoed through the cavern.
