53 This night the Undead shall rise and spill the blood of the living

Nelson was starting to be concerned about what his father was talking about.

"Father what is going on as I am getting this uncertain feeling right about now." he ask

"I have come in contact with a mysterious person who seeks to add to me and this kingdom."

"And who is this mysterious person you spoke of, father , can they be trusted?"

"I am sorry this person wants to be unknown until ready to show and for the trust part, I say that yes and no."

Healing this Nelson began wanting to know more about what his father was talking about.

"Father this person, you say, can help us our home, but in what way will that be?"

He sees father turn his back to him acting in a way of being ashamed like he has done something wrong.

"This person's help will be using the dead."

Once the man said that Nelson was taken aback by that news.

"Father! have you gone mad, you have someone like that who uses Necromancy. I can not believe you knew that magic is dark, twisted and dangerous not only that it is a forbidden power to be used."

"Don't you think, I already know that, I have put thought into it and made the important decision for the better."

"For the better and what could that be when Necromancy is played our home will be targeted if discovered. We could lose everything because of that person's father."

His father returned to face him again.

"Calm down son this person who I am walking with is being careful and planning well to make sure that such a thing doesn't happen as a matter of fact tonight it starts from what I read from the latter, I have received."

"Tonight? Do you mean that… hold on a minute what is the reason you telling me this father."

"Because I needed someone, I can trust to talk about this with and have you accompany me for what is to happen tonight."

Nelson was having mixed feelings about this trying to keep himself calm during this discussion.

"What about Loren father King Vernon isn't that already helping us with the set up marriage between his son and Hannah."

"But this way could also help far greater than that as this kingdom can grow stronger without needing to hold onto King Vernon protection like weaklings."

"I thought that was the point in seeking out man protection. It doesn't mean we are weak, it just means we want to keep on surviving instead of falling into ruins."

"For how long should we be that way son, tell me because I don't want that short of a future for our home."

Nelson sees there is no way to talk his father out of this, but won't give up just yet as he will find a way before it is too late.

"You say you wanted me to come with you father." he said

"Yes come accompany me on this and you will see what I am talking about, so let us go now and waste no more time."

His father walks toward the door as he watches from behind.

"Father what have you gotten us into." Nelson thought.

----------------------------------------

Loren and Deanna had returned back to the kingdom once back inside the two face each other.

"I want to say thank you for today it was fun to spend a lovely talk with you Loren."

"I feel the same and also grateful for sharing the knowledge you have learned about my mother people. It has brought me close to understanding them."

"I am glad that I was able to help you with that matter. Do you want to take the book with you? Even though I pretty much told everything that I read from the book."

Deanna offers the book to Loren as he takes a moment looking at the book before taking it from her hand.

"Thank you, I will surely read this book still because I believe there is a deep meaning to the reason it was written."

"Do you think that, I never actually put a thought to that could the person who wrote this book plan such a thing, but for what reason."

"That is what, I intend to find out as soon as this book has been read and once I do, I will seek you out to discuss it with you."

Loren saw her smile happily to hear that and she noticed that he saw it as Deanna got shy looking away.

"Well then…. goodbye Loren." She said leaving quickly as he watched before leaving himself.

Loren walks his way to the blacksmith entering inside to notice that the dead bodies of the thugs are no longer here.

What surprises him more was how lucky what happened here wasn't discovered.

Further walking in Loren met with the girls at the forge where Angelina was acting fine, but Enidut Pathwarrior was not acting that way as she wasn't looking at him and Sonya was giving him a strong glare.

"Hello girls is something the matter because Sonya here is giving me a threatening glare while Enidut Pathwarrior is not even looking at me."

Before Angelina or Enidut Pathwarrior could say something, Sonay took action by grabbing Loren, slamming him against the way hard.

"Necromancy! Are you kidding me, you are raising an army of the dead." she says right in Loren's face.

He understands that this girl has learned about a part of his plan and connects that it was Endiut Pathwarrior that told her the way she was being.

Those two girls was about to attack Sonya, but Loren kept that from happening

"Guess you know about that, but before we talk maturely with each other about it, I would love it if you release me."

"I am not doing that as it is better to keep you like this right where I can have a very close range to smash your damn face."

"Really is that what it's going to be, I was hoping for the other way, but you don't alway get what you want."

Loren reaches out to grab her arm where Sonya hand is grabbing him giving that a good strong tight grip while at the sametime releasing a powerful killing intent at her.

Sonya couldn't believe the feeling was getting from her own body was starting to shake a little.

"Oh… you think that going to sacred me Loren, I am half-Orc you going to have to do better than that."

"You just had to say that Sonya without thinking very well, I show you more as that is what you ask for."

Loren takes a moment to look at the girls standing behind both nods their heads giving him the signal they are ready for what to come.

Checking they were alright Loren held nothing back releasing more even stronger killing intent.

This was causing a more effect on her body making it shake even more as it forces Sonya to let go of him and take a few steps back.

"fuck….. You really are going all out on me, but…. I can still take it."

"Impress, but how much can you really take as looks to me your body could break any moment."

Loren pushes it further to see the girl soon fall onto her knees, she tries to fight back and slowly get right back up.

Yet he wasn't going to let that happen giving in more making her body start feeling pain like she was about to cough up blood.

Endiut Pathwarrior and Angelina were feeling the same effect, but were holding strong against it.

Thankfully it was all that training Loren put them through to

"Are you ready to give up Sonya, I am giving a nice test of this, but anymore, I am sure you will die and that something, I don't want to happen unless forced to commit that act."

Sonya couldn't say anything back to Loren because of the situation she is in. The only thing this girl could do to respond back to him was show a angely glare.

This went for a single minute until Sonya couldn't take it anymore passing out on the floor.

"Well she did her best, but not you two." Loren said looking at the two girls.

He saw them still standing, but their bodies were shaking a little from taking on his killing intect.

"So did she do what I ask at least and I would like to also know who was the one to tell her about the undead."

"Yes she did finish and it was me who told her only because thanks to Angelina's big mouth."

Enidut Pathwarrior tells Loren and Angelina wasn't happy to hear that as she spoke.

"What!? It is not my fault we could not tell this half-Orc girl at all." Angelina yelled.

"And if that happens, she wouldn't keep on working for Loren." Endiut Pathwarrior yelled back

Loren watches as it looks like these two girls are about to fight each other, he sighs, shaking his head and then speaking.

"That is enough for you two!." Loren yelled at the two of them as it made those stop imminently and face him.

"Sorry." both said in union toward him.

Loren walks up to the two rubbing both their heads.

"It fine you two also it doesn't matter about her knowing this topic of discussion was going to happen at some point with Sonya and her father speaking of her."

Loren turns his attention to the pass out Sonya laying on the floor.

"Angelina please take Sonya back with you to the castle and drop her off nicely to her father. When done get Cecelia and bring her here along with making sure she has the chest with her understood."

Angelina nods her head in understanding what Loren told her to do as she walks up to Sonya picking her up and placing the girl over her shoulder like nothing.

Once grabbing Sonya, she left in a hurry leaving now Loren and Endiut Pathwarrior in the blacksmith shop.

"Does it mean tonight is the night Loren." Enidut Pathwarrior asked.

Loren was silent for a moment, not answering her until that moment passed he spoke.

"Yes this night is where it finally begins, I will unleash the real me."

---------------------------------------------

Outside far away from the Kingdom of Raista somewhere within the woods Arnold was walking alone that night.

His aim was to find a place where there business that needs to be discussed with a certain someone.

"The night is beautiful there , quite a few clouds up in the sky seem like it's going to rain tonight."

While walking for a time Arnold felt the feeling of many eyes watching him walk.

"Ah those creatures are watching me, I hope they know not to attack me or could be wrong on that."

Arnold pays close attention to their moment telling him there are a few moving around.

He kept on walking and they kept on following until a certain big house came to Arnold sight.

This was a Celestial home where she lived peacefully away from the kingdom.

Before he went any further whatever was following him made a move as one of them started to attack charging From behind jumping onto the air.

Yet it was caught as Arnold grabbed it.

He turned his head to see what was caught by him was a ghoul that was trying to break free from his hold.

"I guess her dog's don't know who to attack or not to attack.��� he said right then, throwing the ghoul at a tree.

The creutes body smashes against it quickly falling onto the ground dead.

Another ghoul attacks, but Arnold makes a fast move grabbing it by the head and slammed the undead creature into the ground.

Then lifting it up into the air to right away rip the ghoul in half throwing one piece of it body to side and same with the other half.

More ghouls appear around Arnold surrounding him yet, he doesn't seem worried at all about it.

They don't attack as 5 armor guards appear out of nowhere.

"Arnold, what reason do you have to come near the mistress home? It better be good as we were not told by her about you coming."

one of those guards said to him.

"I come with personal business to discuss with your mistress, I will kindly like it to call off these dogs and allow me to enter."

The guards look at each other then back to him.

"Very well we take you to her." another guard side.

They made sure the ghouls went back to the shadows standing out of the way.

"Ah thank you, I have to make sure to talk to this woman about her dogs."

-------------------------------

Angelina returned soon back to the blacksmith shop with Cecelia who was holding the chest that he needed.

Diloar SwordCarver was also there when Enidut Pathwarrior came and brought him to the shop.

Now that all of them are together along equipment Loren has now, he soon asks Cecelia to cast a teleportation spell taking them where they should be.

Cecelia does it casting the spell where a circle appears around them soon teleporting everyone with the equipment seconds in front of the cave where Loren was keeping his undead inside.

There were few undead children moving around keeping guard on the area as they should be doing.

Loren walks up to one of them patting the undead child on the head then turns back the others.

"Before we move forward any further this night there must be something that must be dealt with first."

He walked up to Cecelia as she headed him to the chest.

"Each one of you follow me." Loren tells them.

He then started walking with them following behind.

Soon Loren came to a stop finding a nice place to set down the chest on the ground.

He slowly moves down, getting on one knee before doing anything else. Loren takes a look up at the night sky, seeing clouds coming together.

"I wonder if you are really out there like the day of my birth." He thought

Returning back his focus onto the chest Loren working on unlocking the spell that was cast upon it by him.

Once dispel Loren opened the chest and what was inside was a black skull mask, he slowly picked it up.

Bring the mask close to his face as he took a deep look at it as this was something Loren had created to imagine the monster he was going to be tonight.

Yet Loren didn't put the mask on his face as he got up to face those standing behind him.

Taking a look at each of them and remembering the day he brought them as children, now look at them differently from that time standing strong and brave with skills they have gained over time.

"Before, I placed this mask on my face, I must ask each of you that has been with me this far one more time. Do you wish to keep walking by my side on this path? There will be no return or to stop once it begins there will

They all look at each other and laugh that surprises him as he didn't understand why.

"I can't believe that you would ask that question after all this time, I thought you already knew the answer even before asking us there was no way we're going to stop now after being with you all this time Loren."

Diloar SwordCarver was one to say as the rest agreed with him and it has been sometime that he has called Loren by his name.

"Yeah how mean of you big brother to ask that." Angelina said acting mad.

"She right you know it does kind of hurt you to ask Loren, you already know how we feel, what makes you think we walk away now." Cecelia said.

"I am never going to leave your side not now or ever Loren as I am someone who stands by your side and protects your life forever."

Loren was touched by hearing this from each of them as it made him smile.

"Thank you all." he said to them.

Taking one last look at the mask Loren finally placed it on his face.

His eyes glow green along with his hand as the undead skeleton Loren had hidden in the cave walked out of it and stood behind him.

"Now let this night begin as this night the undead shall rise and spill the blood of the living."
