Chapter 94 - chapter 94

It was just after the meeting I decided to check if any new undead we made yet so I went to the warehouse.

"Your back we have two new undead if you want to see them sire." Morgana said as she gestured to the two undead standing beside her the first one appeared to be a royal knight his armor looked like it was made of iron he wore chain mail under his chest piece he wore a circlet on his head that looked similar to a crown and he had cloth over his skull that led to a cape that hung off his armor. His sword looked like it was made of iron as well and it a an insignia that looked like a skull with a snake going through the eyes.(I could not tell what was on the shield so I put a differant design on it)

The second one had four arms the bottom pair were holding a battle axe the other two on his left arms was a shield and his other a great sword he had a circlet similar to the undead knight he stood at a total of 7 feet tall. His armor looked stronger than the knights and looked newer.

"So what should we do with the new undead?" Morgana asked.

"The undead knights will join the royal guard." I said as I turned to the four armed undead and thought of a name. "And the executioners can join the other undead in storage till they are needed" I said and they led them away so they could start making more of them so now it was time to find that fortress so I left to get Nekros.

"So do you remember where the entrance is to the fortress?" I asked him as we left the city with a small groups of guards and golems with us.

"Yes it is no far from here it is at the base of the mountain the cave that leads there collapse though if what Celestia said is correct." He said as he point towards the mountain.

1 hour later

We were at the base of the mountain walking along it to find the cave we found it but it was as Celestia said caved in and collapsed I ordered the golems to get to work and moving the boulders and making supports to keep it from collapsing again it was slow progress it would be nightfall before it would be cleared so we had to wait for them to finish so I called some of my timberwolves here so they could scout the area they found nothing so there were no defenses outside the mountain.

Nightfall

They had finally cleared the way for the cave entrance I sent a few guards ahead of us to check things out and me and Nekros walked in.

"Anything we should worry about when we get there?" I asked him.

"Nothing we have to worry about a few skeletons were posted as guards but I doubt they are still active after this long and if they are they will be incredibly weakened over the ages." He said as we neared an opening and we heard fighting.

We walked into a opening to find a large cavern and in front of us was a fortress it looked to be made of old stone bricks many were chipped and some were missing revealing metal layer in the center of the wall. I saw the guards trying to break down the gates but I saw Skeletons on top of the wall throwing rock and whatever they could find at them.

"They do seems weakened they can barely throw those rocks." I said as I observed them. "I will take care of them." I said as I was about to walk towards the fight but Nekros said something.

"It's not their fault they are only doing what they were told." He said.

"Can you stop them?" I asked.

"No my connection to them was severed when I was sealed away they wouldn't recognize me." He said.

I sighed." Ok I will see what I can do without destroying them." I said as I teleported to the ramparts of the wall they say me instantly and tried to throw rocks at me but one of the threw to hard and his arm flew off and I caught it mid air. The rocks they threw fell short as they hit the ground in front of me.

"We mean no harm." I said and they stopped for a moment and I walked forward with the skeleton arm and reattached it to the skeleton they looked at me suspiciously but they put down their rocks. I opened the gates and the guards walked in Nekros shortly after.

"No that we are in the fort let's meet your brother shall we." I said as he lead the way.

As walked throughout the fort we saw more skeletons but they were very weak and many were falling apart.

"So what is he like your brother?" I asked him.

"He is like me but he is a bit more serious." He said as we walked into a room with what looked like a capsule in the center and he walked up and knocked on it. It opened a few seconds later revealing a figure wearing armor that shined like pure gold he had wings on his helmet and it looked like his weapon is a bow that shined just like his armor and was made of the same material.

"So what is your name?" I asked.

"Apollo." He said it was fitting for him he got od of the capsule.

"So what elements do you represents?" I asked them

"I represent death before you arrived and he represents life.

They began to tell me how they were born and what they have been doing before Apollo went to sleep and Nekros was sealed away they seemed to be mostly training for the final battle with Circe and they told me that my presence was now crucial to this world with Nekros no longer the embodiment of death if I was to ever return to earth the realm of the dead and the living would collide.

"So how were they kept apart when you were sealed in another dimension?" I asked.

"Even though I was sealed I was able to keep them apart but in turn I did not have the power to escape and holding them apart like that for so long left me weakened to where I could not escape after you arrived." Nekros said.

"And why did you decide to sleep?" I asked Apollo.

"I did not want to wait for you to arrive so to help increase my perception of time I went into a deep slumber so I would not have to wait so long from my point of view."Apollo said as he checked his bow for any damages it could have gotten over the ages.

"Ok now that we have everything sorted I think it is time we got out of here and we will take you undead with use maybe I can help them." I said and we headed out the undead followed us but we took constant breaks to make sure none of them fell apart but we finally made it to Minas morgul.

"Morgana can you see if you can help these undead they are very weak and probably won't be able to walk much longer without falling apart?" I asked her and she nodded and let them to the warehouse and I led Nerkos and Apollo to the tower where they would help me plan my next move against the demons.

"So tell me what you know about circe her magic and spells would be helpful?" I asked.

"Circe's magic most consists of combat magic while faust was mostly healing, defense, and support spells." Apollo said.
