Champions?

The purple silhouette of a man can be seen against the darkness, you try to focus but the image slips as the darkness gives way to reveal a room, strangely it seems you are spectating from the ceiling. As you look around you recognize your surroundings it is the same room the council used when listening to your report when you first arrived in the palace. Even the current scene is very familiar... the same people are present and... you spot yourself, there you are together with your companions, eagerly reiterating the events of the last months. However there is something different... you spot a man casually lounging next to Dorans seat, his absurdly handsome features give you goosebumps as you recognize the creepy grin plastered across is visage. There is no mistake it is his Eminence, as you take a closer look you notice that the enchanting purple mist around him is taking on various shapes from, daggers to small humanoid figures.
Suddenly the room freezes, the Hand of Rue raised to annotate on a comment the Dwarven representative made now suspended, Silverbullets creased brows locked in eternal stillness, even the veil of the elven representative not moving another inch. The voice of Rue has also come to a halt and an eerie silence has befallen the scene... until another voice can be heard, sweet like the fruit nectar of cherries in bloom, and smooth like Honey dripping in your ears.

Eminance: "So these are the ones you tried to hide from me with such vigor and strenuous labor on your part old man"
Unknown:"Had i wished for them to remain Hidden they would be" - responds a thundering Voice seemingly from every corner of the room.
His eminence seemingly as shocked by the voice as you flinched back from the table, but soon regained his composure and arrogant air. His mist however is flicking around more actively now, like a sensor trying to detect a presence.
E:"Hahahahaha to think you are on duty even now, they really are working you to the grave"
U:"I am a Guardian, and i will Die a Guardian even now i could grind a rascal such as yourself with ease"
E:"Oh Really, you always did know how to boast, your power is not even on the same spectrum as mine how could you be my superior."
U:"Hrmpf, foolish overconfidence even Raisarg knows better than to upset the balance of the strong"
meniacal laughter now fills the room penetrating even your consciousness.
E:"The balance of the Strong Hihighahaha, im having goosebumps do you even still qualify" You make out a sharp undertone in the otherwise sweet voice of His Eminance. E:"Nihjaahuahaha. What a brilliant idea i've just had... why don't i slaughter your prodigy and you try to stop me."
A Lash of purple sparks blitzes in the direction of Doran van Baharuth. You suddenly feel as if you had puked, a monumental pressure squishes your consciousness nearly breaking your sanity a pain as if a twisting knife was thrust into your brain followe. Simultaneously 2 Golden Flaming Eyes Spring forth in the center of the Room the origin of the pressure you felt, which fortunately now is slowly subsiding. The Flames burst like an explosion through the Hall leaving everything unscathed except the silhouette and purple flickering energy of his eminence. as if hit by a war hammer his eminence crashes backwards the energy directed at Doran incinerates on the spot.
U:"DO NOT TEST MY PATIENCE" The voice thunders anew yet now it has a source, a Dragon in Human form who has taken seat at the opposite end of the Table, the Ancient overwhelming aura gushing out before now has an epicenter, revolving around the Room with absolute authority. Flames veil his appearance but his flaming eyes are clear to see overflowing with fury.
Enraged his Eminence springs back to his feet reconstructing his body as he draws near the table anew. E:"You pest, if i were at my peak"
Doran:"But you are not now are you" - another voice interrupts, a young confident voice
E:"Impossible" you hear his eminence utter
It was Doran, now standing straight with a confident grin lingering on his lips.
E:"When did you break it?" you hear his eminence ask his voice now without much luster D:"Just now i must pay my respects to you elders for without your clash it might have taken me a few years still!"
The purple shadow now flickering even more intensely seemingly wrestling with a decision.
U:"Try it" - The dragon puffs "I Dare you" yet you felt that the statement lacked conviction as if he was not sure he could handle the consequences
His eminence gathered his aura and the room tensed up to the extreme, it seemed as if he was Just about to spring into action as another aura appeared. A Grayish green vortex formed in a corner.

E:"Haaargh" A frustrated yell escaped the Handsome mans lips before a Purple Lightning strike Engulfed him and he was gone. With his passing the vortex in the corner stopped growing, stagnated for a second, and then dissipated as well.
U:"Doran my child you have actually done it..."
D:"Yes Master, thanks two you two i managed to grasp it. But why did you falter i am so powerful now we could have eradicated him"
U:"Oh Doran" the dragon chuckled "you have barely scraped the surface. True, your bower feels boundless to you now. Trust me i felt the same when i broke through but bind your confidence. You climbed a mountain and now you think yourself at its peak. When you turn around and look at the path you took it might seem impressive looking at those weaker than you. However, if you look ahead you will see another cliff blocking your path still."

D: "Yes Master, i am sorry i was foolish"
U: "As long as you know. Now then contrary to my statement it was not my intention for them to be revealed just yet"
The old Dragon says whilst indicating in the direction of you and your companions.

U: "We must advance our schedule, both he and the estuary draw nearer every day and my strength cannot last forever. We must pray my judgement did not deceive me. Prep them now for they shall be Champions!"
