Talpa woke by the sound of his bedroom door opening. Not wanting to open his eyes, he spoke to the mysterious person who was in his room. “Whoever you are, what do you want?” asked Talpa, eyes still closed.

A shy voice answered his question, “I just thought I would tell you that the warlords are getting stronger, master.”

Talpa breathed deeply, trying not to yell at Beruman for waking him up for such a stupid report. “That is good Beruman. Is that all you wanted to tell me?”

“No, master Talpa. I came to tell you that the warlords are growing stronger, strong enough to break out of the dungeon.” Beruman reported taking a step back as his master jumped out of bed.

“What do you mean they broke out of the dungeon?” Talpa asked as he grabbed some clothes and started putting them on. Without waiting for an answer, he was out of the door and on his way down to the dungeons. After seeing that the two were not in the dungeon, Talpa began searching every room in the castle. After a few minutes, he finally located them in the throne chamber looking at a mirror that looked down upon the earth.

Startling both of them, he furiously yelled, “What the hell do you think you are doing? Did I not make myself clear when I told both of you not to leave that dungeon until I told you otherwise?” The two warlords looked at each other than back up at Talpa.

“Well at least we are not trying to kill each other.” said Dais, with a Cale nodding in agreement behind him.

Talpa gritted his teeth in anger. “Even though that is good to hear, I told both of you to stay in the dungeons. Now get both of your asses back down there.” Talpa said pointing toward the open door leading to the hallway.

“No way, we are not going back down there, you must be crazy if you think we are going back down there.” Cale bravely said.

A grin appeared across Talpa's face. He calmly walked over to Cale. “You want to say that again to me Cale?” Before Cale could answer lighting bolts shot out of Talpa's hands striking Cale in the chest. Smoke filled the air.

As the smoke settled back on the ground. Horror struck Dais as he searched for his companion. Cale was no where in sight. “Where did he go?” the bewildered Dais asked.

“Right where you are going to go.” Talpa said as lightening once again shot out of his hands hitting Dais in the chest. Moments later Dais too, disappeared. “I guess since I am up I will go ahead and get this shit over with.” Talpa too disappeared.

Appearing down on earth, he searched the lands for another warrior. It was hours before he finally what looked like a decent warrior. Talpa stood by watching and listening to a woman and two men talking.

“But it isn't fair. Yes he is different then the others, but that doesn't give the elders the right to throw him out like this.”

“I know dear, I don't like it either, but we don't have any say in it.” One of the men was telling the woman with tears running down her face. “ I know it is not right, but we have no choice but to let them do this and you know as well as I do, if we get in the middle of this we, too, will be thrown out or worse be put to death.”

“I know, but look at him, he is just a child.” the woman said looking at her green haired son.

“Mom I am not a child. I can survive out there just like anybody else can, so will you please stop thinking I am a weak and can't do anything for myself.” the green haired man said.

“Sekhmet, do not talk like that to me again. I can call you whatever I want. Now listen to me young man, you will be careful out there. I don't care if you think you can take care of yourself. You don't know what is out there in that wilderness, you could be badly hurt.” Fresh tears stared running down the woman's check as she grabbed her son and held him in her arms for the last time.

In the distance a bell rung out and people started coming out in the open where the young man and his parents stood.

“The time has come Sekhmet, time for you to leave this village and never return.” an old man said as he walked up to Sekhmet with his arm extended out pointing towards the forest of trees outside the village.

“Please let him stay, it is not his fault that he is...” the woman was saying as she was slapped in the face by the old man.

“You will be joining him if you do not shut your trap, woman. Now get out, Sekhmet.”

Sekhmet shook his father's hand and gave his mother a kiss on the cheek, then turned and walked out of the village for good. As Sekhmet walked through the forest, he began to think of where he should camp and make his home at. All he had with him was one lousy knife, which was real dull.

Sekhmet was so caught up with his thoughts, that he didn't hear the man following him. When he finally noticed the footsteps, he turned around to be face to face with a man he never seen before in his life. “Who the hell are you?” Sekhmet asked, turning back around and continued to walk to nowhere in particular.

“I am Lord Talpa and I have chosen you to join me in my army. What do you say, even though you have no choice.” Talpa grinned.

Sekhmet stopped and turned to face this so called Talpa. Without any hesitation Sekhmet said, “Okay that is fine by me as long as I get a place to sleep.”

Talpa's eyes widened in shock, as Sekhmet's words came to him. Talpa didn't think it would be this easy. “Okay then, let's be going, shall we?” Talpa reached over and grabbed Sekhmet's arm as they both disappeared into thin air.
