CHAPTER 0: PEACEFUL ORIGINS OF ATROCITIES

“Generals! Please report to the council room!” Huo awoke to the announcement over the public address system. “What does Brigadier Quan want this time, I was just dreaming about my last pillage?” Huo gloatingly exclaimed before getting abruptly kicked off his bunk by Tu. “We know that isn’t true! My team had to come in to save your ass. Get dressed! Let’s head to the council.” Sniped Tu the Pan.

The dark lands of Zandallr, is the home of the trolls. The trolls knew only of constant pillage and plunder and believes that such atrocities should be maintained for peace to exist throughout the land. Living in peace for years the troll cities were ruled by the iron hand of Brigadier General Quan and his right-hand soldiers General Tu and Huo.

“Huo, have you heard about the wormholes opening up at the war zones recently?” Asked Tu, swinging his pan around, as they walked down the hallway past the many interrogation rooms where they held their prisoners. “I remember a few days ago that the storm clouds were the cause of this phenomenon. It’s always the case when it’s near the end of the Mayan calendar.” Explained Huo in a calm composed voice. “Yes, true but ever wondered what went on on the other side. We don’t just vanish into thin air, right?” “No, you are way too big to vanish into thin air, my friend!” Tu jested. “I swear you could have been better as a court jester than a general!” exclaimed Huo.

“Generals! What is taking you so long! Hurry take a seat!” Quan’s voice boomed as he addressed the council. “As you know the wormholes have been a major issue with our conquest of the southeast corridor of Zandallar, we have retrieved a recording from the other side of the wormhole and have waited for the council to review it together. Present the tapes!” Quan commanded. A skinny slave trollet at his side struggled to get up and weakly exclaimed, feet weak from playing trollet dash all day. “yes sir, immediately!”

The tape buzzes and the motors rev, a strange noise, and a faint holographic image of another troll crouching in a corner appear before the council. Static is heard the person is seen once again addressing the council in a whispering voice, “People of Zandallar, please do not pursue your conquest to find me, I’m lost in this strange place they call the metaverse. They have put us in a…” the conversation abruptly ends before a strange incantation is heard. “Ivoartain… cahatari… vianaaato zin!” Just as the holograph cuts off a strange black hole appeared in front of the council. “RUNNN!!!” shouted everyone in a panic, but they were too late. Every one of the council members including Huo, Tu, Quan disappeared into the dark abyss.
