Looking down into the mortal world once again Maacah searched for the best possible lich king and that wasn't easy the best lich kings are usually someone who are usually kings that are at least arch mages and looking for immortality but the problem about this generation of life in the mortal realm is that kings are usually lazy so finding a arch mage king is easier said then done. But look he did for in game days he searched it's good to know that 100 years in game is one day in real life so he knew he had time. And after a month he found what he was looking for, A king named King Damion the First a arch mage of a kingdom that was centered around magic. This was the perfect breeding place for his undead army the king could be a great lich king mages would make great lich's and arch lich's°.
On the other side their magic knights in their army would make great death knights. And finally the civilians can be converted to zombies and other lesser intelligent undead. On other words this kingdom could be a breeding pot for a undead kingdom all he would have to do is convert five people and have the four convert others. And that's just what he did these undead would be a great starting point for the undead race while also being the perfect distribution from his vampires so that they can build their coven. And with that Maacah lowered his consciousness to the little mage king.
Damion: *slams his hand on the war table* what do you mean the Amber kingdom is sending a army against us! Didn't they just sign a treaty with us a few months ago!
Obviously angry at what his advisers and his war general was saying he glared at the map below them on the table.
Adviser 1: my lord they did but it seems now that was just to buy time for them to get finished preparing their army….
Adviser 2: my king it's a mess they outnumber us 100 to 1…. Yes our mages are equal to 100 men but with their numbers we are outmatched….
General: my lord I believe we should prepare for war as this can go no t
Other way.
Listening to his people speak Damion was frustrated in their words there was no way out of this war that they cannot win. They had quality but the enemy had quantity he had no idea what he should do as even if he sent all his arch mages out there was no way to kill all of this army. But just as he was about to despair the world seemed to stop and become dark. As he could see his shadow changed shape that didn't look like him as he heard a voice in his head.
Maacah: your back is into the corner child what will you do. Will you damn your people to death or will you look for a way out. I can offer you this way out power beyond what you humans could truly understand all you have to do his take the knee and accept me as your god worship me and you will become one of my children I will make you strong…. I will make you great.
Damion thought for what felt like an eternity until he realized he had no better option one way or the other they would all die at least this voice gave him hope for his people so he kneeled.
Damion: I beg you my master…. My father take me in give us power so we may weather this storm…..
And so it began once again the moon swallowed the sun but did not turn red no it was pitch black as if an abyss was swallowing the world and the sounds of ominous gregorian chanting followed as he grew from 167cm (5'6 ft) into a 388cm (12'9ft) tall man his robe became a regal yet terrifying golden black bone armor with skulls with ruby eyes golden horns and sharp pointed fangs on each shoulder and adorning his head was a crown that looked like it was made of tiny golden skulls with long horns. His skin turned pale and eyes became a glowing red showing his bond with Maacah.
Damion felt amazing better then he ever felt before the magic in him was immense and he felt stronger then he ever did before like he had trained as a knight for his entire life. and with that time seemed to start again for him except all others seemed to be still frozen so he went to his throne room to wait with a evil grin on his face.
Meanwhile the two advisers and the general was having the same conversation with Maacah and becoming something else entirely the advisers became a lich and a arch lich their height stayed the same but their skin changed the lich was all black as if made of ink while the arch lich became entirely white as if made of snow. But the biggest change was the general he grew taller only being dwarfed by the king as his armor changed a black bone like armor and his eyes became a sickly green he had become the first death knight. And when their transformation ended time started for them.
Seeing that their king was gone they seemed to feel him in the throne room it was if they were connected by a string to let them feel where he was. So they followed this feeling without hesitation to the throne room only to see their king now a hulking figure sitting on a small throne.
Damion: when this war is over I want the bones of all their royal family to be made into a throne for me.
Lich adviser: of course my king it shall be done. If all could be as powerful as us there will not be any issue ending this army at the root with ease the three of us was given rituals to turn others and we will do just that after we leave. This world now belongs to us.
Damion: I seem to have the power to make people into undead let's make it a ceremony for the kingdom and turn all into one of us so that we may all live forever.
General: as you wish my king.
And with that by the end of that month the entire kingdom was a place of the undead the enemy army only another months travel away from them leaving them plenty of time to get used to their new powers and to prepare for war.
