It was morning when me and Vahlok would plan to take the second level and we meet at the mansion where we let the former slaves rest for the night and Vahlok had a surprise for me.
"What did you want to show me?" I asked.
"This." He said as he stepped to the said and showed a caribou but he looked different he looked dead but he was standing and he had rotting flesh all over his body.
"He's a zombie like the zombie minotaur that thing Talio made when he did his experiments on the mercenary corpses." I said.
"Yes he is a zombie and he will spread the infection throughout their ranks and it spread like a wildfire." He explained and it was a excellent idea.
"Can we control it?" I asked.
"No but we know someone that can I have sent a message to king Talion and he will control them since we can not." He said. " Even with our combined magic we can only control a few of them and their will be hundeads of them and Talion is a god of undead as well so they will obey his commands." He explained and it was a good idea he is has reached power we could never hope to achieve controlling a few hundred of these zombies should be no problem.
"When should he get the message?" I asked.
"Well he should be reading it right about now if the messenger didn't get into any trouble.
Talion POV
"They want me to control an army of zombies" I said rubbing my chin it was possible for me to control them with easily but I would have to return to that pocket demenshin to control them and I didn't want to go back there but I didn't really have a choice in the matter if it will help this war end quicker then I will do it.
After a few minutes of concentrating I found myself back in the dark starry void and I walked upto the globe and repositioned it to show me the city that was being captured and I viewed in to see the zombies and they were being contained with magic there was about a dozen of them and they were banging on the wall trying to get out they were very lively like the zombies from world war z and I waved my hand over the globe and they stopped moving and were awaiting orders.
After a few moments Miraak and Vahlok walked curious why there wasn't any noise in the room and they looked to the zombies and saw they were not moving and they looked around and I sent myself their as the mist seeped from the walls and the floors and gathered in a corner of the room and I stepped out of the mist.
"I have read your message nad I think it's a good idea but incase I lose control I want the undead ready to slaughter them before they kill innocent people." I said and they nodded.
"I will control them during your assault I will keep them under control and tell them who to target so you don't have to worry much about them for now." I said and they left the room to get ready and I went back to the starry void to watch their assault they were lining up for the assault on the second level and the zombie were hiding behind buildings waiting for the gate to fall and it looked like they finished reinforcing their gate with the barricade they made overnight. And a small army was behind the walls ready to fight and Miraak and Vahlok stepped forward and a magic aura appeared around them both as they combined their power.
"It's that aura again what is it." I said as they summon a fireball in the hands and then combined them by colliding them together and what looked like a inferno appeared as it grew in size until it stabilized and formed a giant fireball and I could see them struggling to hold and control it and they threw it towards the gate and it exploded casing debris to fly everywhere and it flew into the small army behind the gate causing them to panic cut they quickly got back into place as the zombie came out of hiding and charged them and they jumped on them and many of them were implied but they kept going because they felt no pain only hunger as they bit them spreading the magic that turned them into zombies and it acted fast as they dead bodies got back in about ten seconds but those who were still alive when they were bitten suffered as they threw up bloods and seeped from the chunk the zombies bit out of them and some continued to eat them alive as they were turned and those that were left alone after they were bit started to fall to the ground have spasms and foamed at the mouth and then got back to their feet as they were now under my control.
"Charge." Miraak said as the undead charged forward and past the destroyed gate and started to slaughter the panicked guard and move further into the city and they didn't have the time to close the gate to the third level leaving it exposed as the zombies charged through it slaughtering the guards and turning them into zombies as well.
The last of the guards fled to the castle at the top of the city and the undead gathered in the courtyard at the front of the castle and they we ready to fight the guards inside and capture the lord of the city.
After a sizeable force was gathered they stormed the castle and they were immediately attacked by guards but they were dealt with easily with superior numbers and they captured the lord of the city he was wearing a classy suite he had brown fur large antlers and green eyes and I decided I wanted to meet him myself and the same mist appeared around the area and formed together to form me and I walked up in front of the lord.
"You city is mine now." I said and he glared at me.
"Daiin won't stand for this he will crush you army to bits." The lord yelled.
"He can't do anything my army grows closer to his capital and is increasing with every victory by the end of the month Daiin will be dead." I sated and before he could speak the undead put a bag over his head and dragged him away and I turned around to ask the liches a question.
"Hey before you started a magical aura appeared around you both what was that cause I've never seen something like that before?" I asked and they looked to each other and Miraak answered.
"It appears when a magic user taps into their full potential but there are risks that state requires full concentration and intense magic control during when we were at minas morgul were master magic manipulation and can enter this state but if you slip your magic will cause a backlash and render you unable to move for awhile." He said
"Can you teach me I would like to see how powerful I can truly become if I am to fight a goddess of destruction I need all the power I can get." I said and they nodded and showed me to a empty room in the castle.
"The best way to tap into this state the first time is meditation it allow the magic in your body to flow freely and without restraint so you can grasp your full potential but it won't be easy it may cause illusions that can cloud your mind and present a challenge it's different with everyone no challenge is the same as another." Vahlok said.
I sat down on the floor and crossed my legs together and relaxed and closed my eyes and cleared my mind.
After a bit everything seemed to fade away and I could hear the faint flickering of a flame and I opened my eyes to see Miraak and Vahlok were gone and in the center....around it.
