3 hours of being trapped in the void I finally got out of there and I was exhausted and I laid on the ground panting and I got to my feet and I saw Hecale running towards me.

“Where have you been everyone has been worried about you.” Hecale said as she stopped running and she out her hands on her knee and tried to catch her breath.

“Trust me I has had a exhausting day.” I said and I explained what happened and we walked back to camp.

After we reached camp it was nightfall and I walked into my tent.


Celestia POV


Me and my sister were in the throne room still recuperating from out time in Tartarus and from meeting her again.


During their time in Tartarus


“Don’t worry Tia will get out of here.” Luna said as she struggled to stand. And her legs wobbled as she tried ro use a large boulder to get on her feet.

“Oh how the mighty have fallen.” A familiar voice said and I turned around to see Circe she hasn't changed a bit her mane was a blood red and her fur black as night and the tips of the feathers on her wings were blood red as well and her eyes were a deep blue and she had a smug look on her face as she looked through the bars of the prison that we designed to trap Tirek.

“What do you want.” I said with disgust as I looked at her.

“Just want to chat.” She said as she sat down a a nearby rock.

“I’ve heard about the new god and I have heard from the demons what he is the god of quite the combination isn't it darkness and death two seperate forces but they go hand in hand together.” She said with interest. “Not only that he is a creature that I never seen before and that only peaks my interest.” She said as she looked up to the ceiling of Tartarus.

“And what about him we won’t tell you a thing about him.” Me and Luna said.

“I don’t need you to tell me anything I already know enough about him I just wanted to confirm and show you how your student will die.” She said as she opened her hand as a large image appeared showing Tirek consuming Twilight’s magic and he was raising his hoof and was going to crush her but the sky around them darkened and a monster fell from the sky and attacked Tirek and the monster threw him through the air and he landed in the forest and I saw Talion army charging Tirek and they kept him distracted him long enough for the elements to use their power against Tirek and magic was restored v=but out magic has not returned yet and we saw Talion emerge from ist that fell out of the sky and he grabbed the monster and said a few words and left and then our magic returned and with all our strength me Cadence and Luna managed to teleport out of Tartarus.


Present


“What do we do now?” Cadence asked me

“We must prepare for battle and we must double the training of the guards at once.” I said as I stood up.

“But what about Talion.” Luna asked. “He’s overseas right now and he doesn’t know we might be in trouble.” She said.

“We will have to manage with what we have for now but the minas morgul guards will help us if we are attacked by demons.” I said as I looked out a window and to the horizon. “Talion please come back soon.


Dainn


“I want to see my new weapon.” I said to the lead scientist.

“It’s not exactly a weapon your majesty.” He said and I scowled at him and he looked afraid. “But it is something even better and I know you will love.” He said and he led the way.

“For your sake I hope so.” I threatened.

“You know the ponies have always outmatched us in magic correct because out connection are not quite as strong as theirs.” He said and I nodded.

“Will I found a way to turn the tables on that.” He said and that got me interested as I told him to go on.

“We caribou have been to use magic but it is weaker than the ponies well I found a way to sap the magic off them and inject it into another.” He explained and my smile grew as we walked through a door and walked into a room full of hundreds of sedated ponies unicorns specifically and there were rings attached to their horns and I could see magic being drained from them and bring stored in a massive glowing orb in the center of the room. “With this we could reach god like power.” He said as he check one of the unicorn and adjusted the settings.

“As long as we don’t drain all of their magic we could do this forever.” He said as he laughed.

“Yes but how much magic can be injected safely?” I asked.

“Any amount can be injected safely and without side effects except exhaustion after all of it is spent but that is easily fixed.].” The scientist said as he showed me the test results and all subjects were healthy and were showing promising results.

“So how long till that orb is full of magic?” I asked.

“A few weeks.” He said.

“Perfect when that wraith gets here I will inject myself with all that magic and show the world the might of the caribou kingdom.” I said with a grin and I looked to the horizon and saw the setting sun.

“Yes my king I will have it ready by then.” He said as he walked back to the consuls and got back to work.


Miraak POV


The city in in sight.” I said as we neared a city and it looked like it had multiple levels and he was built into a mountain.

“So what is the plan?” Vahlok asked me and he looked to the city and we heard alarms going off as the sounds of horns echoed from the city and through the air.

“Well looks like the already know were here so lets see the welcoming party the have prepared for us.” I said and we marched towards the wall and just outside their archers range.

“It seems there's a lot of them don’t you think we should fall back a bit and make more undead.” I suggested.

“Yes I agree.” Vahlok said and we pulled out forces back but the kept in formation incas they attacked us during the night and me and Vahlok were creating more undead swordsmen spearmen and archers the axemen were fine how they were for now and we created another 3 thousand when morning came and the new undead were lining up with the others and we looked to the walls and the archers looked worried that out forces grew so largely over night and the archers were approaching the front but stay behind the spearmen and they were drawing their bows back and were taking aim and they were ready to fire on our orders.

“Spearmen advance use your shield to protect yourselves.” I said and they matched forward and the archers on the wall fired and their arrows bounced off their shields and our archers moved forward a bit and fired their arrows and the struck many of the archers on the wall but many of them missed and some of the archers hid behind the stone and the spearmen were free to advance towards the gate.

“Sent the rams to break down the gates.” Vahlok said and some undead charged carrying large wooden rams and they struck the walls and the were casing damage to be shon of the gate as they rammed it again and again showing more and more damaged and me and Vahlok were walking towards the gate and we both raised our hands and fired fireball at it causing it to shatter to pieces and the spearmen charged in and the citizen ran towards the upper levels of the city and the guards were charged us and me and Vahlok combines our power is to a giant fireball and we tossed it at them causing many of the to fly through the air covered in flames and the shattered everywhere and the remaining guards ran to the gate to the 2 level and closed it behind them and the undead spread out through the first level gathering the citizen that were left here.

After a few hours mostly who we found were a few dozen salves and a few slavers and the slaves were given good food that was gathered and the slavers were put in the local dungeons and we put the now freed slaves in a mansion that was nearby and they were having a feast and they needed it especially the children they looked like they were barley feed anything and they looked bedridden and some of thems fell asleep eating their food and that got a few laughs from the adults that were near them and the undead carried them to bed and I walked inside to chat with the former slaves.

I walked up to a group talking about what their going to do now there free. “So what will you do now?” I asked.

When I asked that they jumped a bit that they didn’t notice me and then one of them spoke up.

“Well as soon as we leave the city me and my wife are getting out of the kingdom.” A male pony said as he held his wife's hand and she set her head on his shoulder and then a zebra spoke up next.

“Well when I get out of here I going back home and get my son and turn on my wife for betraying me to those salvers.” He said with anger in his voice. “I wouldn't be surprised is she sold him to.” he said with disgust.

After a few hours of talking I walked away and out of the dining room and walked to the gate of the second level of the city and I saw them barricading it with whatever they could find stone carts boxes everything that wasn't nailed down they used it to block the gate and many undead were watching them build it.


The next morning


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 of a room a candle with a black flame lighting it and I got up and walked around it.


Miraak POV


“Is he in a illusion?” I asked since he hadn't even moved in the last ten minutes.

“Yes and I think so we should lock the room so no one interrupts.” He said we stepped out and locked the door and stood on each side of the door to guard it


Talion POV


After I walked around the room a bit I opened the door and I walked through it and the door slammed closed behind me and I kept walked forward.

“Where do I go now.” I muttered to myself and then I was nearly knocked off my feet by an earthquake and it shook the entire castle and after it ended and I regained my footing I walked down the hallways to see what I could find and I walked to what seemed a throne room the throne was simple it was made of wood but it had a regal look to the design and I walked around and then I had my back to the throne I heard something and then again it was movement and I turned around slowly and I looked at the throne and something was sitting in it it was a dark figure made of smoke and fire as it got of the throne and walked towards me.

“Many have come to this realm but never a god before.” It said with a voice both feminine and masculine and it stopped a few feet in front of me.

“ have come here to obtain power that will help me fight Circe will you help me?” I asked.

“I do want to but I can’t I am only a guide and give those that enter this realm a challenge that bring out their true power that is all I can do and what I will do for you once you pass the challenge you can stand a chance against the evil goddess but you are not yet her equal but in time you will be.” It said as it held out its hand and a door appeared and it opened and it pointed to the door. “Step forward and face your challenge. It said as I stepped through the door.

After I stepped through the door I walked into a open courtyard and I few my sword ready for a fight and another sword being drawn and I turned around to see a warrior wearing black armor and I summoned my shield but it was different it was a large circular shield and it was made the same metal that was used to make the armor and weapons for the undead and it what looked like a large human skull in the center with glowing red eye sockets and bones were decorated across the shield and the rim was fitted with rubies and Onyx’s and lastly I could feel powerful magic radiating from the shield and once I was ready I held my shield in front of me and hid my sword behind it to keep him guessing where I will strike.

After a few minutes of just standing there I relaxed and out my sword back in its sheath and stepped forward.

“Are you here to fight me or someone else?” I asked and he pointed to something behind me and I turned around to see something in the distance an army was approaching.

“This is your challenge you are to defend this castle from that army you can use all the available resources at your disposal.” He said and he disappeared and I created an army of undead to guard the walls and the archers were lining them with swordsmen behind them I don’t plan to have them reach the wall because I am going to fight them myself.
