The Demon Princess

Everyone in the party had terrible nightmares. Seraina shared some discomforting information and told them she was carrying Morlorrim's child. Through this child Morlorrim would be able to cover the Mortal Realm in eternal darkness. They decided to go back to the Mortal Realm as quickly as possible. When they got back they learned only haf an hour had passed in Rasfadal.

They decided to rest for the night. During the night they all experienced terrible nightmares. Pippelon saw his home village consumed by a crawling shadow with his dearest friend and family calling out for him, asking why he left them.   Henk dreamed of the last battle of the War of the Vale. The prince was still alive in his dream and he was filled with hope that he could safe the prince this time, but the prince was killed before his eyes and his friend dragged him away leaving the prince behind.   Anlen dreamt she was in the Feylin Forest. She felt as free as she had ever felt until she was captured in a net. As she tried to escape the forest was consumed in flames carried by the orcs of Murr.   The next day they asked Seraina what happened to her. She told them how she always felt the presence of dark being around her, but never felt threatened, rather like they protected her. On the day of the earthquake in Anfel she heard a voice telling her to go to Burnard and not to tell anyone where she was going. She left, but quickly felt guilty towards Pippelon and decided to let him know where she was going and asked him to come with her. In Burnard she was called to the Shadow Veil by demons. She wanted to wait for Pippelon, but the demons told her there was no time. She felt like these demons were like the creatures that were always around her and she followed them. She had been in the Shadow Veil for a long time when she was finally taken to the Plane of Shadows. There she was brought before Morlorrim and his servants performed a long and intense ritual, impregnating Seraina with Morlorrim's child. Through Morlorrim's child the God of Darkness and Death would be able to enter the Mortal Realm again and cover it in eternal darkness. She was then brought to the Shadow Veil again where the Lord of Hunger was told to look after her.   As she told this she showed signs of actual excitement, rather than fear and the party immediately knew something was off. They decided to go back to the Tomb of Benerthus as quickly as possible to take Seraina back to the Mortal Realm and find a priest to help her. They believed that the child does not have to be evil and if they could keep it away from the influence of Morlorrim the evil God might not be able influence the child.   After a short journey they found the tomb and managed to return to the Mortal Realm. There they encountered Federika who asked them where they had been for the last half an hour.
