Alternate Warlock

The Warlock
A striking tiefling with an auburn
complexion and dark horns stood
in the center of a ritual circle he
scrawled under the light of a full
moon. As he chanted in a forgotten
tongue, the moon was swallowed
by darkness and an otherworldly
voice came from beyond the stars.
The disembodied voice offered him
unspeakable power so long as he
worked toward the entity's goals.
The tiefling agreed and the light
of the moon reappeared as he
was filled with eldritch power.
The massive goliath finished
carving an eldritch idol from the
bones of the guardian beast he had slain. The elder
guardian had steeped in the magic of this jungle for
years. Its bones would make the perfect vessel for the
magicks he had discovered within its temple.
As the cultists of a rival demon lord circled him,
the dark warrior held out his open hand and conjured
an axe made of clear blue ice. Despite his thin frame,
he moved impossibly fast. Fueled by the frigid magic of
a powerful demon lord, he made quick work of his foes.
As the cultists lay motionless, his axe melted away.
