[Author] - Lord Zeromus of Sonoma

Part 1
[Page 1]
Guldan had just finished
training his white wyrm,
Irae, and was quite tired
from the day's activities.
Bandaging a large wyrm
for more than 200 times
in a given time can easily
wear out a mage who has

[Page 2]
less than average stamina.
Walking into his lair,
Battler perched upon his
shoulder. Guldan pat him
the head, gave him a
treat, and continued to
walk deeper in where
Hadriel the drake, Saibot

[Page 3]
the nightmare, and
Anubris the frenzied
ostard were waiting. He
spent some time with his
creatures, fed them, and
continued towards his
bedroom.
Battler: Did Irae's

[Page 4]
training go well, Master?
Guldan: Yes it did, my
minion. This creature is
far more powerful than I
could imagine. Perhaps I
should train wyrms from
now on.
Battler: B..b..but what

[Page 5]
about us, Master?
Guldan pat Battler on the
head again.
Guldan: No need to worry,
Battler. You've always
been a loyal servant to
me. Now as for Duma..
Battler: Oh please don't

[Page 6]
abandon him, Master! He
might be a trickster, but
he's the only family I've
got!
Guldan: Of course.. how
could I forget?
Guldan reached the door
of his bedroom where the

[Page 7]
reckless imp, Duma, was
waiting. He had a huge
smirk on his face, and
his claws were stretched
outward.
Guldan: Duma, did you
prepare my bedroom as I
asked?

[Page 8]
Duma: Oh yeah, Boss. I
got the whole thing all
worked out. Bed's all
made, and all that.
Guldan: And the reagents..
did you organize them as
I asked?
Duma: Sure, Boss! Like I

[Page 9]
said, everything's taken
care of.
Guldan: Good, good. You've
done well for once, Duma.
Duma smirked widely and
outstretched his claws
even more.
Duma: Did you get me

[Page 10]
any of those cookies,
Boss? I love 'em to
death!
Guldan: No. There wasn't
enough time for anything
like that. Irae's training
had to be done.
Duma: C'mon, Boss! I did

[Page 11]
all that stuff for ya.
Didn't ya get me
anything?
Guldan chuckled to himself
and threw a huge fish
into Duma's claws, nearly
knocking him over. The
overweight imp quickly

[Page 12]
devoured the raw fish
and spit the bones out
all in less than 10
seconds.
Duma: C'mon, Boss! All's I
need are some of those
cookies.
Guldan: Perhaps in the

[Page 13]
morning, Duma. I'm tired
this eve.
Duma: Alright! Thanks a
lot, Boss! I knew I could
count on ya! What a
great guy, and handsome
too!
Guldan shrugged and

[Page 14]
walked into his bedroom.
Everything seemed normal
to his eyes and with a
snap of his fingers,
Battler descended his
master's shoulder and
fluttered to the ground
next to Duma. Guldan slid

[Page 15]
off his ancient robe,
placed it on the wall,
removed his armor,
changed into some pants,
and got into bed.
Battler: Goodnight,
Master. If there's
anything you may need,

[Page 16]
please ask.
Duma: Yeah, and don't
forget those cookies
tomorrow!
Guldan chuckled to himself
and closed his eyes. Duma
and Battler left the
room.

[Page 17]
Battler: I hope the
master is adjusting to
this new lair. It isn't as
comfortable as his old
one.
Duma: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
At least he ain't worked
to death like us.

[Page 18]
Battler: I don't think
we're worked to death.
Duma: Yeah, you ain't. He
just loooves you, Battler.
What's with that?
Battler: Maybe you should
quit acting like a joker.
Master has no tolerance

[Page 19]
for that.
Duma: Hah! That sooo
would be bad if I
offended HIM. I mean, he
just stays out all day
and lets us take care of
all the chores. That
stupid ostard of his bites

[Page 20]
too much, and that
Hadriel has his greedy
teeth fixed on me.
Battler: Well you would
make a nice meal.. I mean
you are sort of "plump"
for an imp.
Duma: Yeah yeah yeah..

[Page 21]
well I just wish I could
get a little respect
around here, ya know? It
ain't fair how he treats
me!
Battler: Without him we'd
probably just be another
corpse in the desert. He

[Page 22]
did rescue us long ago,
and ever since that hag
sent everyone out for
imps, I've been scared to
leave the master's side.
Duma: Come on, Battler!
Don't you want to stand
out instead of being on

[Page 23]
his shoulder? C'mon!
Battler: What do you
have planned anyways?
Duma opened the bedroom
door just a bit and
pointed towards Guldan's
robe.
Battler: You've got to be

[Page 24]
kidding, Duma. The master
values that robe with his
life. Didn't he earn it
after training with
powerful mages in Felucca
long ago?
Duma: But look, Battler.
That robe's rare, and

[Page 25]
everyone knows that rich
people got rare stuff.
Just think of how good
it'll be to have people
stop and check us out
cause of that robe.
Battler: You'd think two
talking imps would do

[Page 26]
that enough.. hrm.. maybe
we should get a nice
blaze colored robe and
imitate those humans by
the bank..
Duma: Quit being so
arrogant! Sure we can
talk, but without the

[Page 27]
power who cares? I say
we take that robe.
Battler: The master won't
appreciate that. He'd
probably feed us to that
wyrm... by the way, did
you really organize his
reagent chest?

[Pge 28]
Duma: C'mon, Battler.
Let's just borrow that
robe for tonight and
return it before morning.
He won't notice a thing!
Trust me on this one!
Battler: I can't allow
that, Duma.

[Page 29]
Battler stood infront of
the door with pride. He
stretched his arms as
long as they could go
across the door and
glared. Duma simply
shoved the smaller imp
out of the way and went

[Page 30]
inside. After a few
minutes he came out
wearing the robe which
looked as if he was
wearing a tent.
Duma: Hahaha! Look
at me, Battler! Check out
this robe. I look like an

[Page 31]
Imp Lord, don't I?
Battler: No.. no you don't.
Duma: Hmmm.. you're
right. I'm the Imp King!
Battler: That's good,
Duma.. that's good. Well,
I'll just go tell Master
about all this and you

[Page 32]
can get caged up.
Duma: Hah! You think it's
that easy! We're partners
in this now! You tell the
boss about this, and I'll
just tell him you helped.
Battler: He won't believe
you.

[Page 33]
Duma: You think so? You
said yourself he valued it
with his life, rrright?
He's gonna be mad if he
finds out about this.
Battler: Fine.. you win.
The robe had better be
placed back on the wall

[Page 34]
by tomorrow morning, or
he'll be incredibly angry.
Duma: Yeah, yeah, yeah..
so where do you wanna
go first, servant.
Battler: Wh..what?
Servant?
Duma: I can't walk with

[Page 35]
this thing! It's draggin'
the floor. You'd better
hold it for me like a
servant should treat a
ing.
Battler: Master would be
even more angry if he
found out the robe was

[Page 36]
dirty... fine, I guess.
Duma: So where we gonna
go anyways?
Battler: I have no clue.
This is a really stupid
idea.
Duma: Yeah, yeah, yeah.. I
know. Say! Let's see if

[Page 37]
we can get some ladies.
Battler: I doubt any
human woman is going to
find us attractive.
Duma: You idiot! Not
humans.. we gotta find
some imp girls.
Battler: Now where will

[Page 38]
we find those? You
aren't very good at
planning, Duma.
Duma: Aha! Let's go to
that desert where the
boss found us.
Battler: And you are sure
this is a good idea?

[Page 39]
Duma: Of course! Ya
gotta have some faith in
me.
With a few waves of his
hand, Duma the Imp King
opened up a magic portal
to the desert lands of
the lost lands. As they

[Page 40]
arrived, they noticed
the area to be devoid of
imps. They ventured forth
as the reluctant Battler
held the robe for Duma.
[Continues]

Part 2
[Page 1]
Battler: How did you open
that portal?
Duma: Ah, well.. let's just
say I didn't just take
the boss' robe.
Battler: What did you
take...?
Duma: Wellll.. it was

[Page 2]
gonna be boring to walk
all this way.. so I snagged
this.
Duma held up one of
Guldan's best runebooks
with pride.
Battler: Master's going to
kill us!

[Page 3]
Duma: Not if we don't
give it back to him, idiot!
Come on, let's go!
Duma the Imp King and
his loyal servant Battler
traveled through the large
desert which seemed to
be devoid of all life. Not

[page 4]
even the usually irritating
scorpions or the strange
venomous wyverns were
to be seen. Battler didn't
know what to do, but he
did know that if Guldan's
robe was dirty there
would be dire

[Page 5]
consequences. He bit his
lip, held it oddly with his
claws, and pressed on.
Eventually they saw a
very beautiful female imp
(as beautiful as imps can
be anyways).
Duma: Whoah! Check her

[Page 6]
out, Battler.
Battler: Hmm.. yes. She
is quite beautiful, but we
don't have time for this.
Duma: Ah, you idiot! We
got all the time in the
world! Hey there, cutie!
C'mon over here!

[Page 7]
The female imp blinked
and continued to flutter
around.
Duma: Whoah whoah..
what's the matter?
Battler: ...Maybe you
aren't her type.
Duma: Nah.. that ain't it.

[Page 8]
Hey, don't you know who
I am?! I am the King!
King of the Imps!
Muwahahaha! Behold my
wonderful nightmare
colored robe! Gaze upon
my powerful runebook!
Battler: Such a liar..

[Page 9]
Duma: You be quiet,
Batt... err.. Servant! Yes!
Behold for I have a
servant which makes me
a king... right?
The imp just fluttered
around and started to dig
in the sand.

[Page 10]
Duma: Hey! You get over
here?! Can't you tell
when Imp royalty is
around?!
Battler: Maybe she can't
talk..
Duma: Oh geez.. it
figures. Say, how do imps

[Page 11]
talk again?
Battler: Don't ask me.. I
can't remember.
Duma: GAHHH!! This ain't
gonna work, Battler.
Battler: As I said earlier.
Now let's go home..
The pink imp then looked

[Page 12]
Duma's way.
Duma: Haha! See! She's
comin' around.
Battler: Are you sure
about that?
It then squeaked in
terror and flew off
quickly.

[Page 13]
Duma: Hah! Amazed by my
might, eh? I can't blame
ya.
Battler turned around and
sighed. He gently tugged
on the robe.
Duma: What'dya want,
Battler? I'm tryin' to

[Page 14]
think.
Battler: You'd better look
over here..
Duma turned around and
his eyes opened up widely.
A small party of
adventurers was closing in
on them.

Page 15]
Mage: woot! found sum!
Macer: hehe
Warrior: bout time we
found sum imps
Duma and Battler looked
at each other puzzled.
Duma: They're with the
hag! Better make tracks!

[Page 16]
The two quickly ran off
as fast as they could.
Duma: Gah! What bad
luck. This is all your
fault!
Battler: My fault?! It
was your idea!
Duma: Yeah yeah, well

[Page 17]
they probably saw you first!
Battler: You're the
fat one!
Duma: Shut up, Battler!
We gotta find something
to do now.
Battler: Hmm.. we could

[Page 18]
go back home?
Duma: Nah, I bet we
could do something so
brave that Boss'll always
look up to us!
Battler: And what idiot
idea is this?
Duma: Eheheh.. come with

[Page 19]
me, Servant.
The two imps, King Duma
and his lowly servant,
Battler, ventured to the
land of Ilshenar near the
shrine of Spirituality.
They quickly dodged past
skeletal knights and

[Page 20]
savage imps until they
arrived at the Blood
Dungeon.
Battler: And what are we
doing here? The master
has never taken us here
before.
Duma: Eheheh! Exactly!

[Page 21]
We're gonna one-up the
boss!
Battler: Hrm.. how
exactly?
Duma: We're gonna go
and kill that big daemon
that lives here.
Battler: You... you mean

[Page 22]
a Balron?
Duma: Yeah! That's the
name! We're gonna show
the boss who's the most
powerful!
Battler: You can't be
serious! The Balron can't
fall to two imps!

[Page 23]
Duma: Eehehhe.. you're
right, Servant. It's gonna
fall to the KING of the
Imps! Muwahaah!
Battler: You seriously
have lost your mind,
Duma..
The two then managed to

[Page 24]
sneak their way past a
few dangerous creatures
and came upon the lair
of the infamous Balron.
Balron: Fools! I shall
crush you!
Duma: Bring it on, you
stupid daemon! You're

[Page 25]
messin' with the IMP
KING!
Battler: This is too
much.. I'm out of here.
Duma: What?! Come back,
you coward!
Battler ran out of the
Blood Dungeon as

[Page 26]
fast as his legs could take him,
leaving the hapless Duma
behind.
Duma: Err... uhhh.. err..
fear the Imp King?
The Balron chuckled and
unleashed a powerful
fireball without haste.

[Page 27]
Duma struggled back
towards Guldan's lair. He
realized that dawn was
soon approaching, but
charred to a crisp, he
couldn't do very much
about it. The robe itself
had been charred, but not

[Page 28]
to the point of ruin. In a
daze, he began to
talk to himself.
Duma: *hack* Looks like
the Boss ain't gonna be
that mad after all. Hah!
This stupid robe couldn't
even protect me from a

[Page 29]
little fireball! It ain't
worth the time of the
Imp King!
After finally arriving at
Guldan's lair, he was met
with a surprise.
Guldan: So, Duma.. you
decided to take my

[Page 30]
priceless robe in the
middle of the night?
Battler snickered on
Guldan's shoulder.
Duma: Uhh Boss.. umm.. I
can explain! See, I was
gonna get it washed, ya
know? All nice and clean,

[Page 31]
but uhh.. some gypsies
came and, well you know
how they are.. savages I
say!
Guldan pat Battler on the
head.
Guldan: Oh, thank you so
much, Duma. I didn't

[Page 32]
realize there were
washerwomen in the Blood
Dungeon. You'll have to
show me sometime..
Duma made a big grin as
the sarcasm slipped by
him.
Duma: Oh yeah, Boss! I'll

[Page 33]
show ya sometime!
Guldan: But it was so
unfortunate that my robe
was damaged. Perhaps you
could be kind and work to
pay me back?
Duma: Oh yeah, Boss..
uhh.. whatever you say.

[Page 34]
A few hours later...
Battler: Back to work,
Duma! That robe repair
isn't going to be cheap!
On the double!
Duma: Yeah, yeah, yeah..
Battler produced a small
bag from his side and

[Page 35]
nibbled on the contents
inside.
Duma: Uhh.. what's that
ya got there, Brother?
Battler: Oh, just some
fresh cookies.

He gently tugged on the robe. Duma: What'dya want, Battler? I'm tryin' to [Page 14] think. Battler: You'd better look over here.. Duma turned around and his eyes opened up widely. A small party of adventurers was closing in on them. Page 15] Mage: woot! found sum! Macer: hehe Warrior: bout time we found sum imps Duma and Battler looked at each other puzzled. Duma: They're with the hag! Better make tracks! [Page 16] The two quickly ran off as fast as they could. Duma: Gah! What bad luck. This is all your fault! Battler: My fault?! It was your idea! Duma: Yeah yeah, well [Page 17] they probably saw you first! Battler: You're the fat one! Duma: Shut up, Battler! We gotta find something to do now. Battler: Hmm.. we could [Page 18] go back home? Duma: Nah, I bet we could do something so brave that Boss'll always look up to us! Battler: And what idiot idea is this? Duma: Eheheh.. come with [Page 19] me, Servant. The two imps, King Duma and his lowly servant, Battler, ventured to the land of Ilshenar near the shrine of Spirituality. They quickly dodged past skeletal knights and [Page 20] savage imps until they arrived at the Blood Dungeon. Battler: And what are we doing here? The master has never taken us here before. Duma: Eheheh! Exactly! [Page 21] We're gonna one-up the boss! Battler: Hrm.. how exactly? Duma: We're gonna go and kill that big daemon that lives here. Battler: You... you mean [Page 22] a Balron? Duma: Yeah! That's the name! We're gonna show the boss who's the most powerful! Battler: You can't be serious! The Balron can't fall to two imps! [Page 23] Duma: Eehehhe.. you're right, Servant. It's gonna fall to the KING of the Imps! Muwahaah! Battler: You seriously have lost your mind, Duma.. The two then managed to [Page 24] sneak their way past a few dangerous creatures and came upon the lair of the infamous Balron. Balron: Fools! I shall crush you! Duma: Bring it on, you stupid daemon! You're [Page 25] messin' with the IMP KING! Battler: This is too much.. I'm out of here. Duma: What?! Come back, you coward! Battler ran out of the Blood Dungeon as [Page 26] fast as his legs could take him, leaving the hapless Duma behind. Duma: Err... uhhh.. err.. fear the Imp King? The Balron chuckled and unleashed a powerful fireball without haste. [Page 27] Duma struggled back towards Guldan's lair. He realized that dawn was soon approaching, but charred to a crisp, he couldn't do very much about it. The robe itself had been charred, but not [Page 28] to the point of ruin. In a daze, he began to talk to himself. *Duma: hack* Looks like the Boss ain't gonna be that mad after all. Hah! This stupid robe couldn't even protect me from a [Page 29] little fireball! It ain't worth the time of the Imp King! After finally arriving at Guldan's lair, he was met with a surprise. Guldan: So, Duma.. you decided to take my [Page 30] priceless robe in the middle of the night? Battler snickered on Guldan's shoulder. Duma: Uhh Boss.. umm.. I can explain! See, I was gonna get it washed, ya know? All nice and clean, [Page 31] but uhh.. some gypsies came and, well you know how they are.. savages I say! Guldan pat Battler on the head. Guldan: Oh, thank you so much, Duma. I didn't [Page 32] realize there were washerwomen in the Blood Dungeon. You'll have to show me sometime.. Duma made a big grin as the sarcasm slipped by him. Duma: Oh yeah, Boss! I'll [Page 33] show ya sometime! Guldan: But it was so unfortunate that my robe was damaged. Perhaps you could be kind and work to pay me back? Duma: Oh yeah, Boss.. uhh.. whatever you say. [Page 34] A few hours later... Battler: Back to work, Duma! That robe repair isn't going to be cheap! On the double! Duma: Yeah, yeah, yeah.. Battler produced a small bag from his side and [Page 35] nibbled on the contents inside. Duma: Uhh.. what's that ya got there, Brother? Battler: Oh, just some fresh cookies. The End**
