In search for eyes to see

For those who had eyes to see, it was apparent vegeta would come.  The great unifier, the bringer of peace, under him all war would cease.  Few dragon kin remberred despite their long lives as it was many of our generations since he was chained.  Despite the centuries, there were a few who held their secret loyalty-the forsworn.  The greyfoots tried to end us and failed, the Saint tried to end us and failed to see those secrets which hide in the dark. 

Elves and man had enterred vegetas prison and despite their efforts to keep him locked away i can feel his power grow.  With the time so close to the lords return I, Aldiun, must prepare tribute.  The item i intend will increase my lords power by giving him glimpses of the future.  I need only eyes of a seeress to complete it. Esmerdeen had provided them in exchange for an unhatched egg and my last shed scales.  It was time to work.

...........

For those who have eyes to see let them see, the time of the Dragons in the grey havens is over. King Dante issued a reward for every dead dragon and we did just that, killed a dragon.  The whole land seemed ablaze with fire and death.  The wyrms would not leave any to mercy, but by the grace of the light we saved our homes. Aldiun lay dead his body in ruin along the mountain side, his horde pillaged and scatterred just his rotting carcass to remind us of his tyranny.

..................

Those who have eyes to see let them see, vegeta has returned.  The bringer of peace in whose name all war will cease and even gods will kneel.  His retribution shall be terrible his vengance swift.  The greyhavens must pay for their part in his capture. 

Mightily his forces crashed against the shores and the armies of man and elf broke like waves against stones.  They were consumed, yet the kingdom did not fall.  For now the king could not be removed, but the hidden treasures of the forsworn could be gatherred.

Those who have eyes to see...he was amused by the phrase having no eyes.  It was a trait of his kind.  The result of breeding demons and man, no place in either world.  Their cloaks allowed them to walk the shadow world, but it was still not a home.  The armies of vegeta had long since moved north to pursue the forces of the pretender.  Yet we remained, mydrahll halfmen, here in the shadow with one purpose-collect the tributes prepared by the lost forsworn.

Our presence in the shadow world had gone unoticed for many moons but our shadow caused the plants to die, stopped the flowers from blooming, we were making it into our home.

Now, the ents were noticing and speaking to a druid about it.  It was a risk to let her leave, they need all be silenced if the myhdrall were to finish their mission. A human female, an ent, an elf and half elf gypsy accompanied by a living tree.  Easy deaths, it would feel good to devour souls again.  I signal the rest to move from the shadow.  Those who have eyes to see let them see, this is your end.
