Malice sat pondering on a throne of ivy in his bower. Thoughts of the future floated in his mind like evanescent wisps of smoke. "The end draws near for this world." he thought in solemn silence. He knew what was coming. He could feel the power that slept in Alberisato. As always, there would be great sacrifice.
Malice stood and gathered his thoughts. He raised his arms to the sky focusing and directing a message to its intended recipient. "Trucido Damnedblood, master of discord, I call to thee. Over rain and night, wind and light, my call shall ring. I, Herba Maliciferum, request your audience."
With his intent sent upon the energies of the land, Malice sat once again on his living seat and knew the betrayal he was about to commit.

An hour or so later, a man in a red hat and red clothes walked into the bower. He stroke his hands on the plants and said, "They are sure lovely, like my darling Lilith... You called me?" He then looked at the man and stood there, darting his black eyes at him.

Malice made a sweeping bow towards the dangerous man before him. "Thank you for coming." he said in a sweet and smooth voice. "I have a proposition for you that I am certain would interest you."
Malice surveyed the man. Not particularly threatening to the eye, but Malice could sense power beneath the facade. Malice reassured himself. He knew he was doing what was best for his beloved plants.

"Ok, I am listening." He said, as he glanced at the man, then he looked around, "Hmm, do you have a chair? I am sorry, but my feet are sore from walking."

Malice extended an arm and behind Trucido grew an extravagant seat of vines. "As you may know, I am the current holder of the Sorceress Power. In exchange for the guaranteed safety of the flora of Allorum, I will join you against the Heroes." Malice's voice was strong, he knew exactly what he was doing.

Trucido sat down, and listened to Malice's proposal. After he was done, he looked at the plants around them and then back at Malice. "So, for your exchange for your power and assistance, you want these plants to be in the next universe? That is it? Really?"

"Yes." Malice said coldly. He was used to people not understanding his love for his botanical brothers and sisters. They were all he needed in the world. Of course, that changed when Ayalan broke through Malice's emotional walls. "I also wish to be present in the new universe, to watch over my plants until the end of your universe."

"Now that is something I would expect out of something like this." He said as he looked at him. "Ok, I accept on one condition. I want to make you more powerful."

"Excuse me?" Malice questioned. That certainly was not the answer he was expecting. "What is he plotting?" Malice thought.

"Oh, if you plan to work under me, I need you to be stronger. I know a hex that could increase your powers." He said to him, "Interested?"

"If I wasnt, I would have made an attempt on your life by now. What kind of hex is this? I have heard of power enhancing magic before, but such spells have an unsavory side effect of insanity." Malice crossed his arms.

"Well I know an angelic hex that we can give to clergymen to heal the weak, but I can give it to you and it should work. There is no insanity side-effects with it, but there is some small side-effects that will be barely noticeable." He said with a smile, then 2 skeletal wings with the tips that looked like spear heads.

"Let's get it over with then." Malice said, standing up.

Trucido then smiled and then made some marks at the base of his neck. While he craved Malice's neck, and chanted a spell. When he finished, he retracted his wings and whipped his fingers on the tip of the wings. "One more thing, The one that made the hex basically own the one that has the hex. Do anything that disappoint me, I will make you suffer though that little hex." He said.

As the hex activated, Malice could feel his power growing exponentially. He could sense almost every plant on the planet, from every ancient tree, to every blade of grass. Malice's eyes turned a deep purple as the darkness poured into his soul. he raised a hand in the air and clenched his fist. Within seconds, every plant in Alberisato grew large, toxic thorns. Malice began to cackle. "HAHAHA!!!" His normally smooth voice was now deeper, more threatening, and laced with poison.
Malice lowered his hand and said "The botanical world is ready to serve you, Lord Trucido."
