UNMATCHED POWER!
It was then that I saw Selundar spin around, swirling indigo mists surrounding him. Even though his enemies outnumbered him four to one, a faint grin appeared on his usually expressionless lips.
All around us we could hear the screams of dying Men and Goblins, and the clash of steel against steel. For just a moment, it seemed as if the battlefield vanished, all sound abruptly cut off, as Selundar drew a glowing orb from his robes.
Then every sound came thundering back upon us like a rockfall in the high mountains, and the meaning of that sphere was very clear to the Goblins.
Their eyes widened and they began to scream in terror:

" STONE! SUMMONING STONE! "

Almost immediately, the enemy attack ceased. I remember well the groans of my nephew Alddus as he was overwhelmed by the rout of goblins.
I remember yelling at the few remaining Men to stay down. And then the stone in Selundar's hand flashed a mighty flash of light, and suddenly the entire battlefield filled with swirling mist, and through those mists came the warriors. They were numerous and terrible in their stride, attacking our enemies with such fury and fury that I felt terror rather than relief at being saved. The work of the Shadow Elves was like that of grim artists, their swords their brushes, the blood of Goblins their paint. I fell to my knees in amazement, uncertain of what was to come. And then!
Without warning, Selundar was right in front of me, staring at me with his black, alien eyes.
“ W-we owe you our lives, ” I muttered.
"No," he replied. " Just a simple pledge of servitude. "
