Back at the technocracy, Kizmat just provided counter-contingents to Mamud...Cannot see or hear anything? Then, READ THIS
**Kizmat rubbed his chin and replied**
KIZMÄT: I am not too sure that we could. I accept the terms on counter-conditions. First, you grant me the authority to invoke and reapply the Lords of Darkness seal at my discretion. Second, should any harm befall me, such as a betrayal or harm to my Charon during this process, the cost will be your life.
These counter-conditions sparked Mamud to ponder deeply.
Mamud: I can only guarantee that I will help you within my power under those conditions. The question is, is that enough to satisfy your situation?
**Kizmat slowly nodded- but to the disapproval face of Charon
Charon: LOOK. Okay, before this is fully committed, Kizzy... Who exactly are the Lords of Darkness? How will they help us, if they will? I want to know what we are getting into since this could be life-threatening!
**Kizmat turns to face Charon**
KIZMÄT: More than fair enough. Charon, and to the other Creatures of the Night present, long ago before I made a pact with Alexander Arcane Senior... no... not his son, there was a leader amongst the Creatures of the Night- a wrestler by the name of The Undertaker. He commanded the forces of darkness like no other- and for decades did he rule the wrestling world. It was because of his influence and power that the Creatures of the Night developed an online website called TheUndertaker.net
**Charon places her right hand on her cheek... in the background you can also see Brandon contemplating this**
Charon: I... I... I think I do remember TheUndertaker.net. I remember logging on to it and posting under the name of Charon Death NGFH. The site's enigma did strike me as odd. What was the significance behind the website name? Why... why can't I remember? Could it be because of the changes in time? But then, a sudden realization dawns on me- I am a guardian, immune to the time changes; I should have a clear understanding.
KIZMÄT: Because of a robust seal placed on all Creatures of the Night- you cannot remember who he is because of it. When Alexander Arcane came to me to produce a pact- he would receive COTN wrestlers with magical contracts, which fed me enormous power. The specifics of how I did that was to disrupt the COTN world by first sealing away the memory and essence of The Undertaker into his urn. This act is followed by enlisting Darkspade, your father, into luring and recruiting COTN wrestlers into the Creature Wrestling Federation.
Brandon raises his hand to speak as though he is in a classroom lecture.
Brandon: Oi... this whole thing is making my enormous hair spin... okay... mate... So, you said that you're also a Lord of Darkness... how does that work?
KIZMÄT: I should have made a slide deck—that's a good question. Finding The Undertaker was easy; convincing him to accept me as one of the Lords of Darkness proved the hardest. I challenged and fought The Undertaker and lost, but his respect for my capabilities was evident. Like him, he crowned me a Lord of Darkness, thus distinctively as The Lord of Blood. I worked with him and another Lord who fell under the same seal. Once I gained complete trust, I double-crossed The Undertaker by stealing the urn. I opened an access point into an ethereal plane- I sealed The Undertaker and the other Lord within so they could never interfere with Alexander Arcane's plans. When The Undertaker vanished from this mortal realm- his Creatures of the Night went hysterical, left the comfort of their isolation, and dived into the website- chatting away to find out what happened, thinking it was because of an injury that he was out of action... but it was evident over time that The Undertaker ditched his creatures. This demoralized them, and during that desperation, Darkspade easily convinced many creatures to join CWF... and as time passed, the effects of the seal took their memories away. Charon, you remember you sent me into the ethereal plane when you found this out. By then, Alexander Arcane had already forged the pact with me. So, the contracts' power continued to feed me, and eventually, I broke free.**Brandon was regretting he ever asked**
Charon: Right. Okay. Next question: what makes you think these Lords of Darkness, once released, will help us, and how are they stronger than The Employer?
KIZMÄT: It's a risky bet, but one thing is certain- The Undertaker will stop at nothing to protect his Creatures of the Night. And if I present it in this way, how could he possibly turn down the chance to help? The Undertaker, standing alone, possesses a power that surpasses all imagination. He would be a force to be reckoned with in a world of minor and major powers. He straddles the line between darkness and light, a unique position granted to him by The Oracle herself. And if he were to fail, his lieutenant, The Lord of Dreadmare, Uncle Howdy, would become a significant threat- a threat that would include me in its scope. The Employer will have no chance against us.
