Chapter 1 The Abyss Theater

By: Major144

Disclaimer I do not own Overlord. This is just a story for fun.

Oberon saw the Overlord come charging right at him. Oberon tried to raises some roots up but he was to tired from the Minions. The Overlord stabbed his sword into Oberon's chest! Oberon gasped in pain. The Overlord pulled his sword out. Oberon looked at the wound in his chest then back out the Overlord.

"Release me from this torment!" He said.

The Overlord raised his sword and Oberon got a good look at some of the facial features in the helmet. He recognized who the Overlord was. It was Gallant! His former friend and comrade who he thought was dead long ago. The Overlord stabbed Oberon again. Oberon felt his life coming to an end, but he was going to talk to his best friend before he died.

"Gallant it's you! Your alive! My friend I'm sorry for not coming to your aid all that time ago! I should have gone with my feelings to see if you were still alive! If I had done that I've could have charged our fates! I'm sorry please forgive me my friend!" Gasped Oberon.

The Overlord starred at Oberon with confusion in his eyes.

"I forgive you Oberon." He said.

Oberon smiled up at the Overlord.

"Thank you my friend." He said as the life left his eyes and he turned to ash.

Oberon awoke to find himself still fused in his tree. He found himself in an area that was a mix between a forest and a theater. There was a sign on the stage that read "Terror of Evernight Forest". On the stage there were a bunch of elves reading what appeared to be scripts. Next to them were a bunch of skeleton like creatures wearing fake beards.

"Where am I? What is this?" Asked Oberon.

"Oh good your awake in time for the show." Boomed a voice that seemed to be coming from everywhere.

Oberon looked around confused. He saw a bunch of elves sitting in what appeared to be some kind of stands around him and the stage.

"Welcome everyone to the premier of "Terror of Evernight Forest" please be seated and enjoy the show." Boomed the mysterious voice.

The elves stood in the center of the stage as the skeleton creatures ran off to the side.

"Act 1 The elves live peacefully in Evernight Forest...protected by their unworthy deity the Mother Goddess." Boomed the mysterious voice.

On the stage two elves were standing next to an ugly look wood cut out that was supposed to represent the Mother Goddess.

"Oh brother how lucky we elves are to live in this bountiful green bosom of Everynight Forest." Said the first elf.

"Aye we are. Let us pray to the Mother Goddess." Said the second elf.

"For though she is a cold and uncaring harlot, undeserving of our worship she alone will listen to our sorrow, woe, and poetry." Said the second elf.

Oberon just starred at the elves in horror wondering what kind of sick creature wrote and directed this play. The elves in the stands seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Act 2 The dwarfs attack Evernight Forest crushing the elves into the ground of their precious forest." Said the mysterious voice.

At once the skeleton creatures wearing fake beards came swarming onto the stage and proceed to pulverize the elves! Oberon felt a pang of guilt come over him. This is what happened to his people and his home, after he fell into his deep slumber. He should have been there for his people when they needed him most. After a few minutes the skeleton creatures left the stage.

"Act 3 Where the Terror comes to Evernight Forest!" Boomed the mysterious voice.

Everybody looked at the stage wondering what the terror was. For several minutes nothing happened there was some awkward coughing.

"What! Where's the Terror! I need the Terror!" Boomed the mysterious voice.

There was the sound reply of a clacking skull.

"What do you mean it's getting fixed! Alright fine will start over! Don't worry folks will get the Terror working in a little while." Said the mysterious voice.

"Who are you?" Demanded Oberon.

"You know it's been a long time since someone asked me that question." Said the mysterious voice as it chuckled a little. "Once I was a great god! I was married to the Mother Goddess and greatly respected! Then one day I cheated on her and the heartless women erased me from everyone's memories and banished me to the Abyss! I've been down he so long that I've forgotten my own name. I just go by the name Forgotten." Said the voice.

"So you doing all this to me because I was a fateful servant to the Mother Goddess?" Asked Oberon.

"Yes that and because you have a powerful stench of corrupt energy on you. You were once a hero, but you became corrupted! That corrupt energy emitting from I can use. It will give me energy and I will escape from this fowl place and take my revenge on the world above! I will be remembered as the greatest terror in all the land and it will be thanks to you Oberon." Laughed the Forgotten.

Oberon trashed in his tree trying to break free.

"You twisted fiend! I will not help you escape! By my honor I will stop you! I don't care about myself, but I won't sit by and let you get away with this! I won't let you spread your evil to the world above!" Shouted Oberon as he struggled in his tree, but couldn't break it.

"Ha! Face it Oberon your here to be punished. This is your fate for your crime of sloth and for corrupting Evernight Forest! Here I'm in charge of justice! There's not a single thing you can do to stop me. So why don't you just sit back and enjoy the show where you'll see your failure over and over again!" Laughed the Forgotten.

Oberon clench his fist and gritted his teeth.

"I will get out of this tree and stop you!" He muttered as he continued you to push against his tree prison.

To be continued.
