Chapter One

Therodin entered the Temple of the Chosen Blood with a sense of awe. He could feel the weight of history around him as he stared at the statues of all those ancient heroes that had first rose to fight the Dungeon Builders.

The scourges upon the world.

The brawny paladin moved in his armor of granite. It weighed more than any man should be able to bear, but he was blessed by Lord Abzu, the God of the Earth. A human, Therodin wore his armor with nobility. A grace as if he had the blood of kings or heroes flowing through his veins.

His eyes flicked to Argz, the Hero of Earth, a squat dwarf standing with both legs planted firm, the Blessed Sword of Earth thrust point down before him. It was impossible for Therodin to have Argz's blood flowing through him, but he often thought he had his spirit.

The soul of Argz.

It took a bold man to take down the foul dungeon builders. And Therodin had a plan that would see him remembered as a villain. Castigated by history. But that didn't matter. So long as he destroyed them all, it would be enough.

His eyes flicked from Argz's statue to Vobreth, the Hero of Light. It was his descendant that had given Therodin the germ of his plan. Vobreth was a human standing tall, a handsome and calm man holding the Blessed Sword of Light.

"Did you know one of your blood would betray the world?" Therodin asked.

"We do not have time to gawk, Therodin," purred Auniasiiriliiania. The elven mage came up beside the human paladin. Auniasiiriliiania stood tall in her robes of white marked with light-blue sigils. Her skin was nearly as pale as her clothing, her blonde hair falling in a braid down to her rear. Her bronze magic symbol draped over her breasts. "We have work to do."

"You're right, Ril," Therodin said and ripped his gaze from the Hero of Light. There were twelve statues of the heroes, three from each of the four races of this world. His gaze fell on Kovianiliiseam's statue. The Hero of Thunder stood tall, an elf in delicate armor with his mouth opened wide to bellow, the Blessed Sword of Thunder held at its side.

Not the real sword. That had been lost eons ago.

"Break it open," Therodin commanded, hoping that the information was correct. That they weren't desecrating a sacred site for nothing.

Zarn, a burly dwarf who fought with a mace in one hand and an ax in the other picked up the heavy hammer they had bought for this mission. The rest of Therodin's adventuring party, the Company, gathered around to watch Zarn swing.

With a grunt, the brawny dwarf slammed the hammer into the base of the statue. The stone plinth it stood upon, made of marble banded with streaks of gold, cracked. Corthin, an elven priest of the Gods of Thunder, winced. His long, pointed ears twitched.

"It's just a plinth," said Niss casually. She stood in tight, black leathers. A rogue who wore her short hair in a bob, her green eyes bright. "Nothing more."

"It's far more," Corthin said, his voice soft and sad. "But it is necessary. Something has to change. The dungeon builders keep coming and coming."

"We're cursed," said Empty, the Company's other mage. He stood swathed in black robes, his voice rasping like a rusty saw sawing through an oak tree. Someone had slit his throat in the past, leaving a nasty scar. "This world. We have done something wrong. The dungeon builders are our punishment."

"Oh, that's cheery as always, Empty," said Aython. The halfling warrior shook his head. He was the shortest of the Company but was still stronger than most. He wore magical gauntlets that greatly enhanced his strength and fought with an ax bigger than he was. Strapped to his back, the handle thrust two feet above his head. "Glad you're here."

Empty didn't answer as Zarn slammed the hammer against the stone base again. Chips of marble clattered about the dwarf's feet. Therodin watched. He had gathered this group over the years. They had killed seventeen dungeon builders, catching them when they were still new. Before they could acquire power and be beyond the Company's ability to face.

They could kill the vermin, but never the real threats. The Fuegins, Sulanga Stormfurys, the Tuerien Ironbanes, Wai the Drowners, and the Leo the Falses. Therodin would destroy them all. And if this plan worked, he would have the means.

The strength.

"It's definitely hollow," growled Zarn as he drew back his weapon again and swung. He hit the base with a massive blow. The stone burst inward. A hole appeared. Zarn roared in triumph and threw down his hammer. He bent and thrust his hands into the hole. He fished around then grinned.

He pulled out what they had come for. A collar of iron carved with arcane script.

The Binding Collar.

Therodin smiled. His plan to destroy the dungeon builders could not be stopped. He would end their scourge on this world. He would free them from the curse once and for all. He took the Binding Collar from Zarn and held it up.

"Are we committed?" Therodin demanded.

The Company nodded one and all.​
