The Ancient People

How does it feel to become a demon? Does it start with a prickling in your head spreading down your spine? Or is it like a sharp impact — you disappear into the darkness to make room for the demon whose only aim is to spread hatred? Imperator Hoxar VI., the emperor of the Garema — the Ancient People — and ruler of Menelgond was subjected to the experience. His transformation into a demon brought about the downfall of the Garema.

No inhabitant of Menelgond had ever seen a sun above their head before, but though they lived in the underworld, the unwavering light of magic illuminated all of Menelgond. The Garema were delicate and fragile beings who lived in peace with other races: the Dwarves, who raised the treasures from the earth and the Dryads, who made forests and glens their home. The Garema's small huts were spread all over the jungle in Menelgond.

His people respected Imperator Hoxar even though he frequently withdrew to his chambers and did not often appear to his people. The Dwarves and the Dryads also thought highly of him because he consented to trading between Garema, Dwarves and Dryads.

What appeared to be made for eternity collapsed sooner than anyone in Menelgond could ever have imagined.
