The Legend of Tantus - Book 2

    Many millennia ago, the magical world of Tantus was born, raised by the will, strength and caprice of its great God. With the same name as his world, he created his kingdom, his empire of balance and pride, it grew splendid and glorious in its beauty and variety, its abundant races evolved in peace and prosperity, but like all the land once perfect, it was not destined to last forever. Tantus faced his own dilemmas and afflictions, thus allowing the world to fall into decay and violence, corrupting himself in times of darkness and death. Tantus ended up abandoning his kingdom, but not before applying divine punishment against his children, once loved but now in need of his justice, for like any creator, he should correct such a sharp deviation in their path. Everything started again and nothing was as it was before, Tantus was no longer present, but left behind his representatives, the Lords, bearers of the strength and capacity of the great creator God. The lords balanced the world again in every way they could and found it necessary, peace, once again, took shape.     The lords were lonely beings, except for each other's company, as brothers, their duty was to constantly watch over the prosperity of the planet, the elemental force that circulated throughout life was their commitment, balance, but none of them could be said to be satisfied, because the loneliness has always generated sadness, or despair. Adventure, fun, a lord for these things does not crave, and their homesick and honest minds should, one day, be released from such effort, by their loved ones, by their homes left behind. Five hundred winters, this was the time of solitude for a lord, for all this time he would dedicate himself incessantly to balance, until your long dreamed final hour of rest and peace. But the evil nature would never cease to exist in the world, and the mistake of a choice happened in the decision of Sevenn, the greatest Lord of Darkness so far, known for his extreme sympathy and sense of justice, made the biggest mistake in pointing to his post the moghran that he once thought was the greatest he had ever known, his name was Zeijadel. The new lord of darkness historically proved that the race of men was not, contrary to what was imagined, the most propitious for evil. Bearers of the evil character in their deep interior, regardless of influence, the moghrans had as their greatest pride precisely to keep it imprisoned and away from all their wills, but like any force that struggles to escape, evil would someday free itself in someone. Zeijadel assumed his nature, and moved by the greed that only corrupt minds can generate, he turned against his brothers and let the black era known as "The Discord of the Power" fall on the world. The terror of war brought death to all peoples, in an ambition to take complete control and become the new great god, enslaving all peoples and shaping the world through their personality. The great war smeared with blood all the dedication put before by his brothers, unbalancing everything of his own free will, Zeijadel was the big mistake.     For seven long and b****y winters, the war has taken control of all lives. The continents fought endless battles against the troops of goblins and cyclops that ravaged without mercy, in order to weaken the element of life, the key to Zeijadel's victory, because his reasoning was simple and precise. “People are born and people die, it is natural. Early death is also considered natural, as not everyone is destined to live completely, it is life... But the early and speedy death of millions of lives, this is what I seek to win... " – said Zeijadel. That was how he was damaging the element of life decisively, an exact clarity of ideas, but the union of the people happened and retaliated against the lord of darkness in a heavy way, while he remained in constant refuge, escaping the onslaught of the other lords and avoiding fighting at all costs, until he could apply his most cowardly blow: destroy Galadril, the Lord of Life weakened by death.     But Zeijadel knew that his mind was definitely linked to the other lords, who deprived him of many of the most important knowledge in history, in a purposeful and cunning way, this way his plans became very difficult, especially after the emergence, after the first winter of war, of the first great obstacle to his plans, the great sorcerer Tantaluz Primadril. Also called the Great Master, or Old Master, he was the greatest sorcerer in history, even surpassing the great Lurien. With his immense wisdom, power and cunning, he was the greatest barrier before the arrival of Krantenion, being decisive in several of the great battles throughout the campaign, and quickly began to be hated by enemies, including dragons, who saw him as a murderer and yearned for his death. He was one of the reasons for the lord of darkness to order simultaneous attacks on the continents, obviously to prevent him from acting in all battles, Tantaluz even rejected Smerus, a few weeks before this dragon was killed by Artan. Zeijadel went on to personally plan the death of the old master, as well as that of Krantenion in the future, with his cunning he could have triumphed, but the irreversible defeats of his armies left him psychologically unstable, allowing Zeon Harkonen, the great Holy Lord, to intercept him, and combat was necessary, Zeijadel was overwhelmed and dominated with his face on the ground, being subjected to banishment in the Solitary Prison.     Zeijadel has always had exorbitant numbers throughout the war campaign, but very few outstanding warriors, such as John Alberich, the thief, Rengaw, the lone knight and Oblap, the maestro of the elements, heroes of Lieben, Lorben, the great wolf king who united his people to the others, Artan the skillful, chosen by the moghrans themselves as their maximum leader, Therkal, the brave and powerful tartar leader who murdered Krout, the daring dragon who made the mistake of approaching the armies in “That Great Battle”, even though he was fleeing the attacks of the guardians, among many other great names mentioned in this story. It was true that the dark lord counted one defeat after another, due to the strong will of his enemies, leading to doubts about his competence in his own goals, but one thing that few know, or should know, is that if he succeeded in any of his plans, he would undoubtedly win...
