Seoden looked down at the deformed and mangled bodies that lay at his feet. He bent down and looked into the face of the former queen. Her eyes had stayed open even after her death. The eyes were a dazzling green. Even in death, those eyes seemed to dance with life. And then it started. Her hair turned ghostly white and began to fall from her head. The queen's skin also began to change. It dulled and wrinkled and took on a yellowed hue. The smell of putrid rotting flesh engulfed the room, making Seoden lurch with the desire to vomit. He quickly took out of his breast pocket a sack and scooped up the stone. Before leaving the room that now served as a secret tomb he turned and stared at the mural of the Fazarath. Emotions swelled inside him as he remembered training long hours into the night, flying on the back of his faithful beast.
"Soon, the time will come when you will rule the skies again." And with that, he grabbed a torch and lit the blood stained bodies and left.

Revelations
Salvania gazed at the gem with great curiosity. The gem was roughly the size of a grown man's fist, it looked as though it had been moulded into a perfect sphere, and it had grooves that ran throughout the gem and converged to make a symbols that the queen did not recognize.
"What is this?" She asked her husband.
"It is the Metsiash, the stone that transformed the great king- our ancestor. For centuries it slept here and has been kept safe by the first-born son of the royal crown." Trebor walked over to the gem and layer his hand on the stone. It glowed gently at the touch of the king. "This stone must never leave this land, for once the stone leaves the boundaries, all those who have its power within their blood will die."
"Then how does Lord Sharfteh know where the stone is?" Sylvania asked.
"He does not know yet." The king and queen turned toward Seoden, but he had already pulled out his sword and slit the throat of the king. The queen screamed, but there was no one to hear her and, like her husband, she perished.
