Shenron nodded as Lucifer spoke, though never taking his eyes from the rock tower. With each moment the power he once knew here was returning, already he could feel the creatures of the surrounding forest, but it was nothign compared to the past.

Very well, then we must go to the subterrainean ruins, the means to resurrect Blackthorne is there, in the depths of the Forgotten Temple.

Turning to Lucifer, he touched his arm and they disappeared in a swirl of blue-green mist, appearing again in a large hall. Shenron waved his hand and the hall was illuminated in green light that spilled from the tiled roof, revealing a large altar. Shenron crosses to stand upon it and begins to chant, enscribing the tip of his staff in broad patterns, rhythmically in time with his chants resonance before slamming the end into the floor, suddenly the air before him shimmers and a wagon sized emerald appears. Shenron releases his staff causing it to stand on end, and places his withered hands on the jewel. Instantly thousands of chords of green light trace out from his body. Closing his eyes he begins to chant again, his voice like a hiss, the jewel and the chords of light pulsing brightly in time. Suddenly there is a frission around his body and the gem radiates a blinding emerald light and a sound of breaking glass and a vast vacuum hiss. The light fades as Shenron slumps forward using the stone for balance, as a hissed phrase escapes his lips, at last, followed by a low chuckle that progressively grows louder until he stands with his head tipped back and his arms outwide. Slowly his hood slips from his head and reveals long black hair and his face is changed, the demonic body he wore altered, it is like a mortal's though it retained a demonic strength. He was not particularly handsome - though not unattractive, it was as he had been in the past, it is Malkil's face, he is Malkil once again. Turning around he looks at his hands as he flexes his fingers, then raises his gaze to stare at Lucifer, his eyes normal though an irridesant blue the irises glowing with an inner light.

This is much better.
