Following his double victory over ex-Keeper of Fire, Illusia Drasoini, Vanion Shadowcast took a few minutes to gloat. It is not terribly important exactly what occured in the dueling area of the Arena that night, save the dark elf's ascension to Mage-hood, and successful challenge for the Key of Fire. What is important was what followed, concerning the elf's decision to explore his new home, and powers.
The Key itself was now worn around Vanion's neck on a chain. The once brass key, as well as the chain that bore it, had both darkened to pitch black, reflecting the vampire's necromantic ties.
The vampire floated down, inside the mouth of the monstrous volcano on Twilight Isle. He landed softly on the bed of lava there, but his feet did not burn, nor did he catch aflame. The Key about his neck hummed lightly, and Vanion walked upon the bed of molten lava, approaching the Tower of Fire - his new home. As he walked, the liquid inferno changed colour, slowly darkening from a firey red to a pitch black beneath his feat. Finally, he reached the Tower, its walls made from living flame itself.
"Open.", the vampire commanded the large, double-sided door that lay before him. His black key throbbed with mystic power, and the Tower of Fire opened for its new keeper.
Vanion Shadowcast grinned. The Symbiosis had begun.
