This perfectly formed crystal pyramid of glowing blue Irok'Cael, the crystal metal created by Ss'Kul'Kyns, rests a ways to the northeast of the Bel'tha'go plateau. The pyramid has an open doorway on it's north facing side, ancient Bel'tha'gian language is etched along the doorway that reads, "This resting ground houses the remains of Highlord Ran'Nik and Highlady Akara. Peace be with ye spirits dearly departed." The inside of the pyramid is only one room at the end of a smoothly carved hallway from the entrance, the room being round and domed. A soft blue glow fills the room with a serenity unseen in the darkened Shadelands, a pair of sarcophagi created from the crystalline metal rest in the center of the large circular chamber, green for Ran'Nik and violet for Akara. A large painting of the Liadon royal family hangs along the back wall, Ran'Nik and Akara in their thrones, a young Ran'Ku standing next to his father and a young Ran'Ke by his mother's side with a very young Rian'Ka in her mother's arms.

Ran'Ku stands on a rather large sand dune out in the desert, the shoulder cloak depicting the Night Stalker's white striped black tiger billowing over his left shoulder in the cold breeze. He looked to his left, the Bel'tha'gian plateau far off in the distance. He looked to his right, the glowing Crystal Tomb of his parent's burial giving off a soft blue aura. A wicked smile cracked his lips, "Decisions, decisions...should he die in our home, surrounded by his horrified subjects? Or? Should I slay him over our dear parent's corpses? Hmm...tough call.", Ran'Ku said to no one, his voice superimposed over Shada'Kai's heavily british accented tone. He let out a crazed laugh to the perpetual night sky, starting to walk towards the pyramid, "No contest, You will die before the ever watching eyes of our fallen family, Ran'Ke. They will see what you always were, a weak fool with delusions of Light.", Ran'Ku said, small chuckles escaping him as he spoke.

Ran'Ku approached the open doorway to the crystal pyramid. A twinge of energy prodded his mind, causing him to look towards the Bel'tha'gian plateau. Ran'Ku, aided by his psionics, located a caravan leaving the military camp. "Safe journey, brother. I will be seeing you soon...", he said, a malevolent grin forming on his lips. Ran'Ku turned and entered the doorway, a shimmering field of glowing blue attempted to block him but dissipated quickly, a resonant voice speaking the ancient tongue which he could understand. "Welcome, Liadon.", the pyramid itself spoke to him. Ran'Ku chuckled darkly as he walked down the hall into the burial chamber, his parents' sarcophagi glowing softly. "Such a perfect place to put you to rest, Ran'Ke. Mother, Father...You will witness the fall of your precious first born, this I promise.", Ran'Ku whispered as he walked between his parents' crystal caskets, running the fingertips of both his hands across the glowing sarcophagi.

Ra'Sha awakens in the glowing spherical room of the Crystal Tomb. He sits on his knees between the glowing green and violet sarcophagi of his parents, his vision blurred heavily from the dark essence coursing through his mana channels and the blow to the head. "My, my...Welcome back sleepy head...", a sinister voice echoes around the room. Ra'Sha looks up by the family portrait to see a man in black bandit attire, the shoulder cloak of the Night Stalker bandit clan draped over the man's left shoulder. "Stalkers? Shada'Kai?", Ra'Sha managed to say. The man turned to show his glowing crimson eyes and wicked smile, "Oh so close. But not quite. Have you forgotten about me so soon? All those years mean nothing to you? Those games of cat and mouse, you try to kill me and I return the favor.", Ran'Ku said with a menacing chuckle. Ra'Sha blinked his eyes, looking carefully over Shada'Kai. "No...impossible, Ran'Ku?", Ra'Sha said in shock. Ran'Ku clapped his hands, "Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Good to see you again, my brother.", Ran'Ku said as he walked between the sarcophagi, running the fingers of both his hands across the tops. Ra'Sha shook his head, "But you're dead. I killed you!", he shouted, anger forming in his tone. Ran'Ku laughed heavily, "Yes, you did. But you know me too well. Have I ever been one to stay dead?", he hissed. Ran'Ku thrust his hands into the tops of the sarcophagi, his hands melding into the crystal as if they were made of liquid. He pulled his hands out, bringing a pair of blades made of green and violet crystal with them. Ra'Sha stared on in shock of the situation. "And now my brother, we are going to play a game. If you remember, we played this game many years ago, when you first rose as an Annihilus. You remember that day right? You were a mummified wreck with a bad attitude. You used your enchanted wrappings to impale me over and over again, but in the end I prevailed. This time I'll do the impaling, but with these blades formed of our parent's crystalized remains. The result will still end the same...with me as the clear victor.", Ran'Ku said menacingly.

Ran'Ku raised both brystal blades, green at right and violet at left. "Now the game begins, brother.", Ran'Ku hissed. Ra'Sha tried to move but the vile essence running through his mana channels prevented him from doing so. Ran'Ku cracked a vile smirk and thrust the green crystal blade into Ra'Sha's left shoulder, a pained groan echoed in the spherical chamber as the blade twisted into his flesh. Ran'Ku chuckled at his brother's anguish,"One...", he said in a cynical fashion. Ra'Sha clenched his teeth, growling with fury as Ran'Ku raised the violet blade and thrust. The blade pierced Ra'Sha's right leg and twisted, a roar of pain echoed all around. Ran'Ku laughed maniacally as blood dripped off of his blades. Ra'Sha's eyes glowed an intense gold, light reflecting off the crystal walls of the room. Ran'Ku raised the green blade once more, glaring at his brother with a vile hatred. As he thrust, Ra'Sha's armguard began to glow with golden fury, the power of light burning off the vile blockage in his right arm's mana channels. Ra'Sha reached out and grabbed the blade before it struck his chest, an enraged growl escaping him. Ran'Ku tries to push the blade through his brother's grip but with no luck. "So...you dare refuse your just demise, eh? You forget I have a second blade brother!", Ran'Ku hissed as he thrust the violet blade in, as Ra'Sha pushed the green sword against the other with enough force knock Ran'Ku's strike away. "It...Is YOU who will die this day, brother!", Ra'Sha howled with fury.
At a nearby rocky outcrop, one of the stones begins to ripple with biotic energy, as a swirling gateway opens. Vas'Kaa and his Templars emerge from the portal.

The scene around the portal was a desert of ivory sand and a permanant night sky above. A ways from their arrival point is a massive glowing blue crystal pyramid. Vas'Kaa surveys several sets of clawed footprints set in a triangle formation, the larger prints at point being flanked by the two smaller sets, it looks as if something was being dragged behind. "They must have gone there.", Vas'Kaa said, pointing to the pyramid. Senja'Na looks at the structure in awe, "Where are we, sir?", he asked. Vas'Kaa looked to his subordinate, "This is the final resting place of the late Highlord and Highlady, Ran'Nik and Akara.", he said. Vas'Kaa starts moving toward the tomb's entrance, followed by the Templars.

Upon approaching the arched entrance to the glowing blue crystal pyramid, the circular sigils begin to glow with a soft light. A shimmering barrier seals the door as a deeply resonant voice echoes out, "Be ye Liadon?", the voice queries.

Selene growled and turned her body into energy, passing through the wall.

The portal began to ripple violently as Selene attempted to pass through, a shrill chime piercing the still air. "Intruders. Ye walk on sacred ground blessed by the Lady of Night, a resting place of Her faithful.", the disembodied voice bellows. A wave of divine force ripples through the barrier, disrupting Selene's energy body and forcing her back out. "Present the mark of Liadon or begone!", the voice said as the circular runes glowed brighter.

The sigils flare and dim for a moment, the one atop the arched doorway glowing especially bright. A beam of blue light shoots from the top sigil and rests on Kasumi's forehead. The mark on her neck glowing the same color as the sigils. The light beam receded as the barrier cracked and broke apart like ethereal glass, "Welcome, Liadon.", the voice echoes. The tunnel twists back and forth in a snakepath through the pyramid, a soft blue glow lighting the way. A roar of fury breaks the tranquility of the Tomb. Ran'Ku glares into his brother's furious eyes, "Why must you make every game difficult, you seriously take the fun out of fratricide.", he hissed, his crimson eyes glowing an unholy blood hue. Ra'Sha's arms tense up severely as a wave of telekinetic energy forces his arms behind his back. "Now that's better, no more interrupting my fun, Ran'Ke.", Ran'Ku chuckled as he held his green and violet crystal blades in. As he was positioning his blades for the next strike, Ran'Ku's eyes shot to the doorway. "Well, it seems we have guests.", he said in a mocking tone.

Ran'Ku smirked, followed by an amused chuckle. "It seems the pawns wish to protect the king, but I have pawns of my own.", Ran'Ku said with a wicked grin. He tapped both of his blades off the crystal sarcophagi, a fell ringing chime echoing down the tunnel. Vas'Kaa and the Templars hustled behind Selene as they made their way through the passage toward the burial chamber. Inky black liquid began to pool on the ceiling, dripping down to the floor as Selene passed under. A pair of sinister hissing cackles echoed through the passage, as the liquid began to take form. Sable formed on the floor, crouched on all fours facing the Templars and Vas'Kaa while Mable formed upside down on the ceiling. "I'm afraid this is a private party.", Mable hissed playfully. As the two younger Night Reaver's made banter with the intruders, a larger puddle of blackness formed at the end of the hall, blocking the way into the burial chamber. Able's form rose from the puddle, his feathered black wings half spread. "The coup d'etat has begun, none shall intervene.", Able growled as his claws and forearms began to take on the rigidity and sheen of polished onyx.
