# Bezrael's Revenge

**727 BCE**

The Assyrian king Shalmaneser V was declared king of Babylon,but Kreel, the now fallen wizard, has sworn vengeance on his masters. He betrays humanity and becames the servant of Bezrael, Bezrael orders Kreel to kill Namecid, the holy man of the Diaphanous Cathedral.

Ever since, Terial, a hawk made of ice, has followed Kreel. Terial symbolizes hope and forgiveness for Kreel for his past transgressions as he seeks to find peace and serenity.

He then meets the Maid of the Secret Sand (Armenia), Vardagwen, and intends to murder her. But instead, he falls in love with her and tells her to stay hidden to escape the wrath of Bezrael. Upon learning this Bezrael imprisons him in the Abyss of Pain and brands him as a traitor. Upon accepting his fate, he prey the Sky to watch over the maid of the secret sand since he knows his master will not set him free.

Feeling overwhelming guilt at what he has done, Kreel once again asks Terial the Hawk for forgiveness as he learns Vardagwen was killed by his master. He then swears revenge for all he has seen. Still struggling with guilt and the desire for forgiveness for his transgressions, he prays for the mystic rain to wipe away his tears.

Kreel vows to change his life and be the hero Vardagwen would have wanted him to be. Finally, he decides to break the chains of his destiny and turn against his Lord Bezrael in the name of Vardagwen and the prophet Namecid, whom he murdered.

then fomented revolt against Assyrian domination, assisted by strong Elamite support. Marduk-apla-iddina managed to take the throne of Babylon itself between 721 and 710 BCE whilst the Assyrian king Sargon II (722–705 BCE) were otherwise occupied in defeating the Scythians and Cimmerians who had attacked Assyria's Persian and Median vassal colonies in ancient Iran. Marduk-apla-iddina II was eventually defeated and ejected by Sargon II of Assyria, and fled to his protectors in Elam. Sargon II was then declared king in Babylon.

Kreel on his final act burned the House of Nekron Barbelo books in the Temple of Solomon and killed Bezrael with fire.
