No one took much notice of it, so it allowed many nefarious groups to meet without being caught.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One such group was meeting at this very moment. The group was composed of several sorcerers and sorceresses. Their leader was the infamous Necroma.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hdhstory.net\/Storyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/headshot-Older-Necroma.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3482\" src=\"http:\/\/hdhstory.net\/Storyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/headshot-Older-Necroma-300x280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hdhstory.net\/Storyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/headshot-Older-Necroma-300x280.jpg 300w, http:\/\/hdhstory.net\/Storyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/headshot-Older-Necroma.jpg 639w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Necroma was pure evil. She was tall with long shiny black hair. She was the essence of dark magic. She used her dark magic and cunning to bewitch others and control them. She aimed to become the most powerful sorceress in Selat and all other worlds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur task is simple,\u201d was her decree. \u201cOnce we have taken all of the tales of this world, the only story to be told will be ours. It is our destiny.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut how will we accomplish this task of stealing all of these stories?\u201d questioned a lower sorcerer named Grenwin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt would be but a simple spell for me,\u201d Necroma replied, \u201cbut that would be too easy. I prefer to take stories in groups randomly and maybe even mix them up a little. That will keep the folk heroes so confused that by the time we get the last stories and characters, no one will be left to save them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen we will be in control.
