marrowgrave castle:
"and then we all heard the story of chrysalis reborn as part of the necropolis the end. So what do you think?". Sandro said to the princesses.
"so chrysalis this is not your true form". Twilight said ignoring the necromancer.
"well that is rude but i have some things to do in order to complete our peace treaty have fun til i come back". Sandro said to them and left them to talk.
"well no this is my true form but my Namtaru form is larger and to some more arachnid". Chrysalis said to twilight.
"by the way princesses i have to say something to all of you". Chrysalis said to the princesses.
"What is it". All the princesses said together.
"thank you for giving my children a second chance after all i did in my past life i can never atone for my past sins as queen chrysalis but as Namtaru chrysalis i will do what ever it takes to help defend the world from the threat of Sheogh". Chrysalis said to the princesses.
"we thank you as well if you want we can talk to king thorax maybe you can see your former hive". Twilight said to chrysalis.
"i will like that". Chrysalis said back to her.
"are you done we have much to do and very short time". Sandro said to them after returning to the room.
"its time i will show you some of the kingdom, if we to work together you need to know this miss sparkle marrowgrave castle is but only one of five necropolis cities i build in this past days along side seven forts full of undead guard. I will not show you the cities from the inside but the peace treaty we will make will be outside the capital city of nethermortis". Sandro said to twilight as they walk to the outside of the marrowgrave.
"nethermortis?". Twilight said in form of a question.
"yes i gave my kingdom a name before you ponies will gave it a name using some stupid puns". Sandro said back to her.
"we don't do that". Twilight said back to him.
"really well you have ponyville,canterlot and your kingdom is called equestria. Must i go on". Sandro said to her.
"i think the necromancer have a point". Luna said to twilight.
"can we go on with the tour and not find more flaws in our land". Celestia said in annoyance.
"i have to agree with celestia on that we have a long schedule and i want to return to my chamber". Chrysalis said them.
"well our first stop is on the mountain cliff". Sandro said to them.
All of them look to the cliff and saw a large city full of spires, dark magic clouded the sky,towers full of skeletons in robes and undead specters of the past patrolling the sky for intruders. When they finish seeing the dark city sandro started to talk.
"this is lichen-nadid in the language of the necromancers of heresh it means citadel of the lich". Sandro said to them.
"why its on the mountain?". Luna asked him.
"for a simple reason its on the mountain because its purpose is for learning and it stores most of my liches and many tomes of knowledge of ashan and its guarded by Incorporeal dead and by Wraiths along side the liches. This place can be reach only from the sky or by a portal from one of the necropolis cities". Sandro said to luna.
"why are you telling us how to reach the city?". Celestia asked him.
"well my sun maiden because non of you can really get in the city the dark cloud of dark magic will strangle your will to live and if you even can get in a legion of undead will show no mercy". Sandro said to celestia.
"well lets continue with the tour shall we". Sandro said to them and they kept moving to the dark forest of nethermortis
It was a long walk in the dark woods but in the view they saw a large field of dead ground that gave them a chill not a single tree only dead soil full of buildings. What they saw in the city was skeletons,Zombies and stone monsters working in lumber mills, mines and graves.
"welcome to ashur-necro or city of the dead. This necropolis is built for labor and trade the city its self is not ready yet but when the construction is finish all trade from nethermortis to any one that wish to trade will be from this place. We will sell all form of goods from spells to undead servants". Sandro said to them.
"you will sell your citizens that is very low even for ruler". Celestia said to him in a disapproving tone.
"well celestia i don't think the dead will have any opinions on the matter". Sandro said to them.
" lets continue we have two more cities to visit after me". Sandro said to them.
From the roads of ashur-necro they enter the forest once more and on the road they saw what they fear from the most. Undead creatures from equestria and more kingdoms like ponies,griffins,minotaurs,changelings and diamond dogs all of them on a march like a pilgrimage and then they saw after the dark woods a city wall that open. Inside was statues of a spider like creature and more tombs and crypts and in center was a large tomb like city and above it a large dark green crystal but the most unexpected of all was in the front of the building was a statue of chrysalis in her Namtaru form.
"well this small undead haven is bel-chrysal or chrysalis tomb if you want to call it. This is a holy undead city where the undead masses come to seek the praise of asha's will on this world you know her as chrysalis this place have two levels. One is the above that is what you see in front of you but the second level is an underground tomb full of undead spiders and the crypt guards that will protect the Namtaru life at all cost". Sandro finish tanking to them.
"and this is my last stop i have to rest now,till we meet again princesses". Chrysalis said to them and enter her city.
"are you going to ask or should i guess what you want to say lady twilight". Sandro said to twilight.
"how did you build all of this in four days even using magic this is not possible". Twilight said to him not believing all she just saw in her eyes.
"well if you want i will share with you something from ashan. We have a spell that can transform a city of your choice to a city that is respected to your school of magic its called conversion spell". Sandro said to her.
"i know you want to know more but when we get to the capital i will answer your questions, now lets go to the finale destination in our tour". Sandro said to them and they walk with him to the forest exit.
Out of the forest they saw the largest necropolis in this kingdom it was build like a pyramid full of temples and castles,shrines and statues of the same spider like creature,dark portals and skull pillars and a giant hourglass full of magic and last on every side of the necropolis was obsidian structures of giant spider legs. The princesses in awe could not revert their eyes not from fear but of beauty. And then twilight spoke first.
"what is this place". She said not removing her eyes from the city.
"this is the capital city of nethermortis, welcome princesses to nar-mortis or in your language crown of the dead". Sandro said to them.
"this city is a remainder of my former home of Al-Betyl and to a lost old friend". Sandro spoke in tone of sadness.
"you had friends?". Celestia said to him in a snarky tone.
"yes i had friends but this one was more of a brother and a foe to me. The Reaper of Souls lord vein". Sandro said to her.
"what happened to him if i may ask". Luna asked the necromancer.
"he died protecting the city of Al-Betyl even if he had no chance to win. The combined forces of The Seven Cities prove to be stronger then the power of the necromancers and he died like a fool and for what the love for his lover and child". Sandro answer to her in anger.
"but that is enough of ancient history we need to discuss the terms of the alliance we will forge". Sandro said to them as they move.
As the group kept moving a shadow formed next to them and before them the faceless judeais greeted them.
"greetings princesses what brings you to my tower of whispers?". Judeais asked them.
"you know way we are here faceless i build this tower for you to have your peace but this is my land". Sandro said to judeais.
"i am sorry i have to ask but judeais why are you called facelees". Twilight asked judeais.
"no don't ask him a question". Sandro said to her.
But it was to late and the faceless answer. "that is not the right question". The faceless said to her.
"what do you mean not the right question?". Twilight asked him.
"the faceless are masters of the art of shadows they can take the form of a living being they are both an ancient race and a secret society based on worshippers of the Dragon of Shadow Malassa. And they have the habit to not answer questions like normal people". Sandro said to her.
"now lets enter the tower so we can discuss the terms. You know we have only a year and two months before the demons will burn us all". Sandro said to them.
As they enter the tower they enter the towers peak and inside was a large room and a few places to sit. As every one set they began to speak the terms of the alliance, how to stop the demons and what is the next step to keep the world from ruin.
"now we stand before the brink of war in one year and two months a blood moon eclipse will cover your world and the gates of sheogh will open so we need to assemble all the world to prepare for war like they never saw before. But that is not all across the lands of your world are thirteen obelisks that will show us the tool that will save your world, the tear of asha but we need a dragon knight to use it. That is all we have to work with now and i can do some things to help but each of you must do your part till more will join us so i ask you princesses what can you all do for us to contribute to our victory?". Sandro said and asked the pony princesses of sun,moon and friendship.
"we have an upcoming event in canterlot the grand galloping gala we usually have only ponies but i can invite leaders and rulers from the rest of the world to inform them about the demons". Celestia said to the group.
"that will perfect on your part celestia. Now on luna's part she and judeais will have to find two ponies that will help us during our plans". Sandro said to them.
"who are they did we met them?". Twilight asked him.
"yes when you where in a coma i took the liberty to look in your memories and i found the two we will need i believe the names sombra and shadow pony are familiar to you". Sandro said to them.
"WHAT". The princesses shouted at the necromancer.
"we will not bring any of them after what they have done especially sombra". Celestia said to sandro in rage.
"really celestia you will deny your world a chance to win and to cure your sister of her "darker side" no i think not you will do that to save your race and to be more on point you are not in charge anymore lady twilight is and putting emotions aside it will give us more tools to use". Sandro said to her.
"what do you mean to cure me?". Luna asked him.
"oh dear luna you do not know do you well let me tell you nightmare moon lives she was never gone in the first place". Sandro said to her.
"what, but the elements". "your elements are only a binding trinkets and no more then that plus you can't really destroy nightmare moon she and luna are the same. One follow tears and one follow blood but judeais can help you find peace and become whole again and the same goes for sombra and the shadow pony". Sandro said to luna.
"do not worry lady luna we of the faceless are masters of the mind no harm will come to you". Judeais said to luna.
"now moving to a more demanding terms you have to give amnesty to one cozy glow and tirek on behalf Namtaru chrysalis". Sandro said to them.
"why chrysalis asked that and only that?". Twilight asked him.
"she misses them and want to see them ones more". Sandro said to them.
"i think we can do that she can come to the gala". Twilight said to him.
"ok now that is over we have some more terms to view this one is about me and twilight. For starters i think i need to re introduce my self to ponyville and to see if the place is a good place for a base when the war will start". Sandro said to her.
"fine but only if you apologize to all of my friends and you will spend some time with them". Twilight said to him.
"i agree and now the last term princess of friendship twilight sparkle will take on the title of queen twilight sovereign ruler of equestria". Sandro said to them.
They all stare at him until twilight spoke. "i'm sorry but you want me to what". She said mumbling her words.
"i don't see the problem you home will enter a war they never saw before they will need a ruler strong enough to bring them hope and what is stronger a princess or a queen". Sandro said to her.
"do we all agree". Sandro said to them.
"yes". The princesses of sun and moon said.
"fine yes". Twilight said to him.
"then we have an accord may this Council stay strong in the hardest times". Sandro said to them.
"by the way twilight can you come to the balcony with me i need to show you something". Sandro said to twilight.
As twilight came to the balcony she saw legions of undead staring at her from the ground and in the sky she saw visions of places she new like ponyville,canterlot,griffonstone and more and then sandro started to address the crowd.
"today is a day to remember for today two kingdoms of harmony and death united to stand together if time will acquire to and all was achieved by the hooves of queen twilight sovereign ruler of equestria". Sandro said to the crowd.
As sandro finish to talk the legions of undead began to shout and hail to sandro and twilight. On the other hand twilight said to the necromancer.
"why did you do that?". She asked him.
He simply replied,"now there's no going back".
meanwhile:
??????:
A pony was walking in halls of ash and bow on the floor.
"My lord our agents have infiltrated equestria and when the time comes they will strike". The pony said.
From the shadow a strange figure started to talk.
"good soon i will fulfill my promise to our masters and we will have this world burn starting with twilight sparkle".
Will of the necromancer arc end.
