1. Marksaline the Necromorph Queen

Black Marker Necromancer cult and it's unfortunately fortune beginning 1 / 7

The Black Marker Cult of Necromancer's had quite the good run. Before they come into contact with the Black Marker, did they where a group of Necromancer trying to make a place for themself.

As if guided by a higher fate the individuals found eatcher other one by one. Eatch of them know something new that increased the knowledge of the group. One member at a time, did their wealth of the materials and knowledge grew. One Faithful Night did everything changed.

They had observed a huge construct flying from the Moon to almost a perfect line towards their founded Cult. As if by devine will did they survived all events coming over the next hours.

When the flying construct hover over its landing area, did it rip a huge chunk of Earth out of the ground.

This flying object had than turned the chunk of earth around and let it fall gently beside the hole. Toward the now huge hole in the ground and the new mounten was perhaps a mile or two. As if a mounten and its deep lake had to be created for a higher purpose.

Some of them had seriouse injuries substained by the earthquake, when the mounten landed.

Out of the flying construct came a swarm of shiny gray spiders that where blowing blue fire out of holes in their bodys to glide to the ground. What ever the gray spiders are, they started to harvest trees and stones when they where around it. Sending the not so dense Jungel animals into a panic.

Many of the gray spiders climbed the mounten and seem to break it surface and mold them into shapes. Some seem to burrow inside the new mounten.

When the gray spiders found the group of Necromancer, did they feared to become their food.

To every Necromancer surprised, did they gray spiders ignored them. They just walked around individuals if it needed to pass them.

The Necromancer group take their wounded to the mounten and used the plentyful resources the spider seem to collect, but ignore them afterwards after somehow cooling it down with a substance they spray from one of their legs.

Food and wood was plenty on this collecting area's. Building housing from the untreated wood and stones was rather easy. Within a month did the Necromancer group had all build simpel and pretty badly constructed housing. But it was enough to get protection from rain and sun.

Over time did the group of Necromancer found that the spider build next to their village a constructed village of way higher quality. Strange was that the spider don't seem to occupie any of them. In fact, no creature was using it. It was very mysterious why the spiders constructed a very well planed and build village only to leave it. It was not populated by anyone two weeks later.

Over time, did the group simply take over the well constructed village of actually very sturdy and well insulated buildings.

It was perhaps of higher quality than that of Nobel familie inhabited in the nations central cities that got inherited trough bloodlines.

At some point was their old self made village abandoned. A few days later was their self constructed village of wood deconstructed by the spiders.

In it's place was slowly build a identical village that seem to be fitting the one they inhabited.

All buildings had a four room configuration in a quadrat or perhaps a cube.

Entry had the bathroom area.
The next room was a kitchen and store room hybrid already with the bare minimum of utensils and some paraphernalia.
The next room was a hybrid of living area and bedroom. The last was a mostly empty storage room.

The spiders seem to build a huge City for no reason other than that they could do it. Very strange was that it all was basicly empty of populating inhabitants.

The spiders never seem to rest. Their screeching and hissing body ever moving, ever busy.

If they didn't disappeared inside the hovering flying ship, did it seem they disappeared into the mounten that over time seem to be resembling a Pyramid more and more. The spider ignored any attempt to speak to them, written messages made them check it out for a few seconds in comparison.

Yet if food was getting short did the group receive more fruits and Berrys probably harvested, while they harvested anything natural grown in their area. When the group of Necromancer lived a hole year inside their new but mostly empty Village did anything around them was harvested.

The efficiency of this Insectoid race was frightening.

No natural grown tree or bush was left. A perfect huge area of grassland and flowers. The only thing on it was this huge city made out of wooden building that get coated with stone like exterior afterwards.

The Necromancer investigate the empty building's. They are 100% exact copys of their building with the difference that all building had their exterior decorated in decails.

About anything was identical, but the front side was always slightly different in their look. Perhaps the spiders language.

The empty buildings had absolutly no supplys in them to support anyone. Even the water supply was turned off.

That seem to indicate that the spiders build the City for others and cared enough to keep the occupation population supplied with food and water while giving them shelter, adding or removing it from necessary circulation of ressources.

Never before did are race of selfless being like here observed ever existed in recorded history.
This spiders seem the very definition of generousity and kindness.

Their was no rhyme or reason behind it that could be identified. They just seem to be every hour of day and night be busy. As if they are on a race against time to do something. What ever they planned it was 100% benefishal for the Group, and they would be eternaly grateful towards the god or goddess creating this species.

Two years since the spiders take the area over and keep the population supplied with water, food and shelter did something happen.

Three of the populating Necromancer become very sick. Unfortunately did one of them died.

Not even a full night later did a swarm of the spiders instead of occational observing them, started to life with them. It was as if they no longer where trusted to be left alone.

The Necromancer eatch had now 3 of the gray spiders in their lifes.

One spider was always in their house on the ceiling. It never rested or seem to leave to eat, before another take its place. The gray spiders are perfectly identical to one another and of unriveld will of duty and grace. No race was their equal.

The only variation observed is one of a spider with the height of a Minatour and the equal length. The other was basicly Pony sized.

The three spiders in every members life was very observant and occationaly interacted in small ways with its charge. No matter what they where following around it's individual Pony, Griffon, Minatour or Deer. The Necromancers had apparently accidentally become pets that needed a small group of caretakers.

No matter they they chilled in their house, used the bathroom, had social meeting or had sex.

Ever observing, never 'officaly' participating.

Some of the Necromancer really tried to invide them quite blatantly. They never officaly joined.

Matter of factly was it impossible to see if they are male or female. They let their charge inspect and touch every millimeter of their body with no result. Only Exception was their mouth.

One idiot tried to force a Blowjob from its spiders. Apparently the mouth was very sharp inside...
The result wasn't to surprising.

When the Necromancer started to paint the spiders and decorated them to start a attempt at keeping them apart, did the spiders start to transfere the decoration to the in shift being spider. Any colorations was removed after they left. They seem to keep their Identity marking decoration strict distinctiv and orderly. Never mixing it up.

When the group of Necromancer one day decided to try gain entry to the mounten, did the spider carefully, but insistedly take the individual prisoner, moved it back to it's building and left again.

Apparently the Mounten entry was forbidden.
Every attempt of peaceful entry ended the same way.

Two days in a row did the Necromancer group had all be standing in a line to entry the mounten.
They all got one by one returned to their respective house and where left alone with their assigned spider companions.

Then they tried it a week later. Unfortunately did the same happend. When they tried it for a third time, did the spiders left a gift basket individualy in their home and left.

The fourth time was different though. Apparently the spiders growing tired of playing around and when the bribe in the third attempt didn't work, they build doors over the entry with a line of pictures surrounded. Eatch race individual race get a picture with the same content.

Insert creature race, and their was a oval with a diagonal line printed over entering the mounten.

Apparently did the spiders didn't want their population to enter the slowly reshaped mounten into a Pyramid.

The huge hole that was created pulling the earthmounten out of it, was a inverted empty Pyramid by now. It was void of any decails like the mounten and was simply a stone hole filled with steps in the overall shape of a perfectly round hole Pyramid. All this squares made a circle.
Every new line of stepping stones had one green stone.

It seem to be finished the fourth year around. Than the spiders seem to let it be filled by water naturaly over time.

Six years after the spiders had landed, was the side facing the village completed.
The spiders soon after started to equalize the other side of the mounten, as to fit the completed side.

Then after some years since the landing of the spiders race in their flying structure, did something new happend.

The flying structure had apparently been build a landing platform on the not observed different side of the mounten.

When some of the Necromancer tried getting closer, did they get taken prisoner and returned home.

This time the spiders anticipating the groups collective thickness, leaving thin, but well made metal plates mounted on one of the empty walls inside the buildings of the occupied villages. The ship with the city occupied race was not to entering the ship.

A day later did another picture of the mounten 'do not enter' depiction, get added to their housing.

When the Necromancer out of shit and giggles left their housing to the closest to mountan and artefical sea placed building moved, did the spiders added universal race sign with the population 'not enter the mounten or the ship' signs.

The Necromancer take the hint and left the mountan and ship alone from now on.

[Thirty years of the Spiders and the Ship landing and arriving on the Equus later]

The Necromancer group had started to populate the City little by little. The spiders always adding for every new born a three spider team, to keep their charges safe and help occationaly raising the little ones.

Thirdy years after the Spiders landed was the population of the City called 'Necropolis' over 30.000 individuals big. Eatch individual had their own three spider observation team.

All of them had rather normal education and all of them where a theoretical welder of Necromancer knowledge, at least its basics.

Over the thirty years did the spiders never stopped working on the Pyramid or the City.
By now the mountain was completed on the outside, but spiders still where entering it day and night in a constant stream.

Empty clawed in, full of earth, stone and other things back.

The thirty one year of living among this glorious insectoid race did things changed abruptly.

The Spiders stopped what ever was done inside and obviously under the mounten and started to construct a very thick, multilayered defensive wall out of dense black stone. When 5 walls, eatch 200 meter thick and 225 meter high, was finished. Did they started to reconstruct the entire City.

By the time it was finished it had space for 50.000 families with 5 to 7 members to eatch inhabitant building. Eatch house was identical, but the streets had eatch a decail filled ground and Monoliths.

The spiders give eatch household a map made out of a leather like material.

Over the span of five years, did all houses outside the defensive wall got deconstructed and rebuild inside the walls as a 5 level building. All intended for 5 familie per building as the city of Necromancers determind to be the case.

Basicly a more developed design of the old one level buildings previously constructed.

To the surprise of everyone did one day playing children find out that below the city was a very detailed sewer system was constructed with materials that seem a complicated layer out of crystals, concrete and some kind of rubber meshed together.

Everyone was baffeld that they never wondered about their sewer system and how it worked or when it was created, it was rather hilarious in hindsight how they used running water and toiletry, yet never wondered how a so complex system was constructed and kept running.
