Somewhere near the Astral Plane......
A dark figure sat on an old thrown twisting three gems around his dark transparent fingers. One of gold, one of silver, and one that shined with every color of the rainbow. He chuckled to himself and thought of how his collection will be complete with just one more gem.....a copper one.
“Master, the plan worked better than I expected” said the hooded stranger, “Kalisbar actually thought that he was the one in charge, the fool. He played right into my hands, just like everyone else. And soon my Master, you will have Copperfeather and then the world!”
The stranger pulled down his hood to let his long black braid fall down his back. He blew a piece of his hair from his bright green eyes as his smile to himself.
“Well done Naiteal ”
