“Don’t play games, human. Despite how I appear, I am thousands of years older than you and it is just possible I am not an idiot.”
Eight people, four men and four women, gathered around a glowing crystal that threw off rays of light. Another eight figures, the same figures, followed, but each one was holding a symbol: a skull, a coin, a sword, cloth, an orb, a wheel, a stream, a leaf, and a star.

Then another scene, where just one of the eight, the one with the star symbol, left the battle escorted by a ninth person. Another ring of eight people followed, each one carrying a crystal, this time with the star-symbol man at their center. The ninth man was there too, only he held a sword. The next image showed the ninth man plunging that sword through the man with the star symbol.

The man with the star symbol was gone, nothing left of him but a silhouette carved into the stone, a negative outline with angry chiseled lines radiating out. No sign of the nine men and women who had been there, just nine undulating shapes, each crawling away in a different direction. There were eight shattered pieces of crystal, and a single, twisted sword.
