The Ruby of the Fallen: Book 4: The Legions of Hell

* SYNOPSIS ONLY

BOOK 4:- PS: (This is the MAIN book. This is the REAL story. Everything before this is ancient history- sort of a LOTR-Silmarillion relationship. The Characters are all here. This is where my story really takes flight) The year is 1750. The Days of Chaos and The Ruby of the Fallen have become things of Legend. The Ruby itself is presumed to be lost forever. The descendant of Chriton Gespo, King Calashan McRoy rules over the Court of Acousticon (Human territory). Zanthians have, of late been foraging around in human borders. The political situation between humans and Zanthians is sticky. War is brewing. Calashan wants the rich mineral deposits in the Mountains of Zarabusa. The Mountains of Zarabusa is shared territory between the Humans and the Zanthians. Calashan McRoy has 2 sons- Anonemo McRoy (the main hero of the book- sort of the Aragorn of my book) and Brother (Ha ha. I haven't yet come up with a name for him, so for the time being, let's just say Anonemo's brother is called 'Brother'. Ha!). Ok - 'Brother' is sort of the steriotypical scheming evil elder brother. I'll come back to him later. Also important is Korundum. Korundum is a wizened and powerful sorcerer-ally of the humans. (sort of like Gandalf). Bye the way- The humans still can use "Elder Bones" to summon Rhylle warriors in battle. Korundum has a unique Elder Bone. He implanted his Elder Bone (a small piece of Vertebra) in his throat. He can sing to summon warriors. (Cool huh?). Other main characters- 'Zekos' and 'Vulcan'. Zekos and Vulcan are old friends. (There's a long history about how they became friends). They are retired warriors. Now Zekos works as a fletcher and Vulcan works as a blacksmith in a village. They live together in a small village. Bye the way Zekos is supposed to be me, and Vulcan is my friend and co-author Ronojoy. My method is to use people i know in the real world as characters. Zekos' personality is modelled after me. Zekos is thin, very tall and lithe. He's a fletcher and a master of light swords. He's arrogant and Narcissitic. He he. Vulcan is broad and very strong. He's a master blacksmith and very adept at using axes and hammers. He's shy but quick witted and supercillious. All my other charachters are also real-world people. Ok. Back to the story. One day (1751) King Calashan sends Korundum and a small party on a scouting mission in the Mountains of Zarabusa. Here Korundum is ambushed by a party of Zanthians. He falls of the edge of a cliff in mid-battle and falls into a gorge. He hits a river down below and is washed away. When he wakes up, he finds a cave. Here he discovers the Ruby of the Fallen, long thought lost. He probes the Ruby with his mind. Ascronos Hell's mind and soul (along with the rest of the council and the Army) is still preserved in the Ruby. He feels Korundum's mental probe and takes over Korundum's mind. So basically, Korundum becomes Ascronos Hell. Ha Ha. Acronos HEll is back! The reader of the book however is unaware of this. It is the secret plot twist revealed at the end. Korundum is always seen in a Gandalf way. Right at the end he's revealed to be Ascronos Hell. OK. Korundum hatches a master plan. He pretends not to be Ascronos, but just his normal self. He gets behind enemy lines and surveys this new world. He hatches a plan to come back to power. Korundum/Ascronos starts to influence 'Brother'. He takes control of Brother's mind and guides him to the Ruby of the Fallen. Ascronos/Korundum makes the minds of the Council of Necros (12 of them), all this while trapped in the Ruby, enter into Brother. Brother now becomes a rather interesting character. Under Korundum's instructions, he pretends to be Acronos Hell returned, but really he is the combined minds of the 12, and Korundum is Ascronos. Brother raises the Army of the Fallen from the Ruby and wages war against the humans, Zanthians and Porthas. In the year 1755, the second battle against Ascronos/Brother begins. Main meat of the story is here:- There is a long war.(Humans+Porthas+Zanthians VS Brother+Council) Lots of details. Lots of events. PLot twists&turns. Changes of scenes....etc..details later... Time to wrap up the epic- Finally Anonemo, thinking like the rest of the world that Brother is Ascronos, reaches his inner sanctum and kills him. He smashes the fake ruby which Korundum gave him. (real Ruby of the Fallen is with Korundum-on his sword). On smashing the fake Ruby, Anonemo sees the Army of the Fallen is still around. He's amazed. Meanwhile, Korundum enters the human stronghold (Acousticon) and destroys it while the humans are away fighting Brother. Anonemo realizes his mistake. He guesses that Korundum is behind it all. He comes back to Acousticon. Epic final showdown ensues. The story ends with the defeat of Korundum/Ascronos and the smashing of the real Ruby.
* I'll probably leave room for a sequel ** There'll probably be a love-plot or a romantic angle somewhere.
