"i did it my acolytes i had my base of operations my new necropolis and from here a new dawn will come to my enemies and to the enemies of princess twilight sparkle a dawn of harmonic death, no man,pony or demon will stand in my way this is the new dawn of the dead. But first i need to show the princess around the new castle of the two sisters or in its new name... Marrowgrave kala."
marrowgrave castle royal guest bedroom:
"I AM THE SHADOW OF DEATH COME TO HARVEST YOUR SOUL". It was in twilight head and then she woke up from her nightmare cover in cold sweat like she was about do die only to find her self in a bed larger then the beds in canterlot and to find the room she is in have a gothic architecture design, and then she saw that you can't see the sun no matter what you do a strong necrotic magic cover 40 percent of the everfree and now from her window you can see only dead woods, graves and no living being in vision. Then she heard a knocking on the door and in instinct she said two words, "come in". Twilight said in a small tone of fear and curiosity.
When the door open she saw a skeleton of a minotaur cover in armor looking at her saying nothing then she was at lost after a solid 10 minutes twilight said the first word, "hi". She said to the skeleton.
"Haaaah". The skeleton said to her.
"i am sorry what?". She said back to him.
"Haaah....haah...haaaaah". He said to her and showing her his hand to outside the door.
"you what me to go outside and follow you?". She ask him.
The skeleton did a yes gesture using his head. Twilight got out of the room and follow the skeleton and she saw the most weird monsters and creatures made of bone and rotting flesh some from her world and some she never saw before in her life. Then when they got to the hallway to the throne room she heard music like the music octavia perform in canterlot. To her surprise she saw a larger throne room then the castle of the two sisters its was darker all so in the room she saw several bipedal creatures some in armor and some wearing dresses in black and red. Among them she saw princesses celestia and luna talking to the creatures and eating the food before she went to them to ask what are they doing here she began to hearing singing from the center of the room it was sandro and he was wearing is mask but he had a different cloak and he was all so wearing a strange amulet. Then she heard him sing in a strange language she never heard.
"Dies irae, dies illa,
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Preces meae non sunt dignae,
Sed tu bonus fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremer igne.
Pie Iesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem.
Amen.
Huic ergo parce, Deus.
Pie Iesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem.
Amen".
When sandro finish singing every creature applaud and saying praise words to him even the princesses applaud him. After the round of applause sandro saw twilight and bow his head to her and said " glory to the leader of the alliance twilight sparkle". After saying that all the creatures, celestia and luna bow to her. Needless to say twilight was blushing.
Sandro then spoke again," she will lead the army of the living and me leading the army of the dead we will destroy the demon force from this land for the glory of all. After all Asha uses all". He said and after saying that all the creatures in armor follow his words raising their swords and saying "ASHA USES ALL". After the speech sandro, celestia and luna went to talk to twilight.
"so did you like my little speech?". Sandro said to twilight.
"did you have to said all of that i feel embarrassed". Twilight said to the necromancer.
"you maybe don't like it now but this speech was for boosting the moral and to establish trust between equestria and marrowgrave". He said to her in respond.
"marrowgrave?". She ask him.
"don't you remember how i use the staff to turn the old useless ruins to this beautiful necropolis, no offense your majesty celestia and luna once again i am very sorry for doing this to your old home but it is for the war effort against the demons of Ur-ignis". Sandro said to her.
"i have to agree with sandro on this one his army now know you and him are the leaders and will show you respect now we need the army of our land to do the same". Luna said to twilight.
"and about that when did you and celestia got here?". Twilight ask them.
"about four days ago". Celestia said to her former student.
"FOUR DAYS,i was sleeping for FOUR DAYS".she said loud in shock.
"yes and before we will tell you of what happened in that four days i think the rest of my court what me to sing another song so if you don't mind we not find a place to sit and eat while i sing a song that is somehow fitting to what our future foretold". Sandro said and going to the center of the court.
"for a necromancer he is very charming but i i still don't trust him". Celestia said to luna and twilight.
"maybe but that necromancer is are best hope to stop this demonic invasion". Twilight said to celestia.
"and our best hope is about to sing another song for us from his world and i really want to hear it". Luna said to them and drinking wine that a skeleton diamond dog give her.
"to all of you this is a song about the greatest captain of our world but i think this song can work out in our event". Sandro said and began to sing in that same strange language while drums and quire sang along side him.

As sandro was done, another round of applause said to them," enjoy all your heart desires for tomorrow we prepare for WAR, ASHA USES ALL". As he done saying that the rest follow "ASHA USES ALL". He went back to the ponies and luna started to talk first.
"that was a wonderful song you said it was about some captain in your world can you elaborate more about him?". Luna ask sandro.
"but of course i only had the chance to meet him once and he did not care that i was a necromancer the only thing he wanted was to test my skill in battle. His name was CRAG HACK legendary pirate captain of the savage sea". Sandro said to her.
"but what did the words of the song are it was hard to enjoy the song when you don't understand it". Celestia said to the necromancer.
"very well i will try to translate the language of ashan and your world is similar but less pony puns, it goes something like this". He said to them and sang the song again but in equestrian.
"We came for you, to fight! We're from Razamgar

When sandro finish the translate version of the song celestia and twilight did not think the song had so much war and death but luna had a different reaction to the song.
"that was wonderful its like the old days of equestria you know the time we had much more conflict in the land". Luna said to her sister in so much joy.
"i glad you like it maybe i will tell you more stories of my world when we will have free time". Sandro said to luna.
"but i don't get one thing". Twilight said to every.
"and what is that miss twilight?". Sandro ask her.
"well belketh said you are from a world name ashan but this song is about a place called Enroth is that a place in ashan?. Twilight said to the necromancer.
"ah i see you found something that is a hard subject to some to understand. You see before i came to this world i was traveled other worlds as well not many can do it you now". Sandro finish explaining to them.
"well now i am curious how many worlds did you travel to?". Celestia ask the necromancer.
"i traveled to five worlds if you count yours as well". Sandro said to her.
"how is this possible!". Twilight said to him.
"it is very hard to understand so i will say only this a web of a spider". Sandro said to them.
"that doesn't make sense". Twilight said to him.
"now twilight if sandro said its hard to explain you need to except it even if its not making sense". Celestia said to twilight.
"i got it". Luna said to them.
"no you didn't". Celestia said back to her.
"yes i did sister its very easy to understand". Luna said to her.
"well then luna what is web of a spider supposed to be?". She ask he sister.
"well a web of a spider is what holding all the worlds like the world tree and the web is like a crossroads to every world". Luna explain to her sister.
"well what do you know she understand that". Sandro said to them.
"every world in the universe is build like a spiders web?". Twilight ask him.
" well no the tree metaphor is all so good, the web of spiders is for necromancers to understand its what belketh told me when i first enter Nar-Ankar capital of the Necromancers kingdom in the land of Heresh. And before you ask it was not my home i was born in the bull duchy but after that i build my first Necropolis Alma-zeri i named it after the only one person i care in the world my sister alma, and after that when i establish the order of the void me and my two disciples,Lucretia dela Segadora my sisters grand grand granddaughter that she turn into a Vampire Princess and Markal a very talented Necromancer that i toke under tutelage after i saw how he manipulate some of his enemies, he remind me of you twilight in a scholar way,we all moved to the city of Lorekeep". Sandro said to twilight and the sisters.
"well after i will tell you of what happened in the days you were sleeping i will give you a small tour of my kingdom then we will sign a peace treaty and a military agreement between equestria and marrowgrave and after that i will visit ponyville and canterlot in this form while i wearing the full set of Death's Embrace its my formal outfit and it makes me all so the strongest necromancer in this world, so do we have an agreement". Sandro said to twilight.
"ok but you have to promise me to be patient when you talking to my friends or any other creatures for the sake of this alliance". Twilight told sandro all most begging him.
"don't worry twilight i will behave like an angel". Sandro said to her.
"now lets begin the story it happened six hours after you pass out and my guards told me the rulers of this land want to enter so i let them in and then celestia was saying and i am not joking, "by the power of the sun if you don't tell me what you done to twilight sparkle i will burn you", from there it became more fun". Sandro said as he continue the story.
