Part 2:

N'gzaaark watched via scrying glass as his Elite Legion, his personal guard , broke ranks and ran screaming from the Hero. Normally he'd be apocalyptic levels of furious if that were to happen, but he had briefed them on what he had wanted them to do, and they did not disappoint.

Their Prime went especially above and beyond, hamming up his performance as he ran shrieking from the Hero, putting all of his skill as a grandfather to use.

His 73rd Legion was pure slapstick as they fled the Hero, leaving the way into his Fortress of Malicious Intent. Nodding in approval, N'gzaaark did one final check on Della and her Cohort as they worked to draw Silph the Wise along with his allies among the Church of the Old God into a trap.

Seeing that everything was well in hand, N'gzaaark deactivated the seer stones and stood up from his desk. He had to get ready to meet the Hero.

To be continued....

N'gzaaark blinked and stared at the Old God through the portal.

"Ten." he said. "The Hero is ten. Fucking. Years. Old.

The Old God grimaced as They gave a confirming nod.

"Yes." They said.

N'gzaaark took a deep breath, held it for a moment as he clamped down on his temper, and then exhaled slowly.

"And you want me to let him win, after he has stormed my keep, which is in the middle of the Endless Plains of Agony." he asked, getting another confirming nod from the Old God.

"Who's idea was this? " N'gzaaark asked.

The Old God pinched the bridge of Their nose. "Deplh the Wise.".

N'gzaaark's left eye twitched.

"I see." he said. "Alright. I'll let the Hero 'win'. But Delph is mine."

The Old God nodded. "Understood." They said before closing the portal.

N'gzaaark took a few minutes to formulate a plan before summoning his aide.

"Yes, your Maliciousness?" his aide, Della the Succubus asked.

"The Hero is coming, and he is only ten." N'gzaaark began. "I'm going to need everyone in on this plan, and if anyone fuck's this up, I'll hand them over to the Old God."

Della gulped in fear at the mention of the Old God and Their implacable wrath.

"Here's the plan: the Hero is going to 'heroically' brave the Plains of Agony...."
