Brak the barbarian versus the mark of the demons

the long version

WE GO TO THE DARK. WE RIDE TO THE AWFUL DARK. A STRANDER LEADS US, A SAVAGE MAN. HIS PRESENCE BRINGS THE EVIL DOWN. THE SOOTHSAYER'S GRIM WORDS CHILLED THE HEARTS OF THE TRAVELLERS. EVEN THE IRON NERVES OF BRAK THE BARBARIAN TWANGED WITH FOREBODING. BRAK KNEW HE MUST FIND A WEAPON MORE POWERFUL THAN HIS SWORD IF HE TOO WAS NOT TO BE DISCOVERED DRAINED OF BLOOD AND BONES, A A DRY HUSK BEARING THE THREE BLACK MARKS, THE TRIANGULAR MARK OF THE DEMONS.
