Hours had passed since I first left my clone in Exandria. When i had left my clone, it had begun its work alongside Caleb and Essek, the magical anchor slowly being constructed with my aid. The construction of the circle was not so much to bring Tempest to the exact location of said circle, but to serve as lighthouse for the searching spell that would be initiated on our side. Like moths drawn to flame our landmass would be sucked into the atmosphere of Exandria where I would need to be ready to make it fly.
To make this possible though my efforts had to be spent on preparing Tempest for the transition. My first order of business would be to raise the entirety of the Jura forest into the sky, merging it with the university island. Simplicity required such a massive upheaval but it would be monumentally difficult to keep shit under wraps if this was to occur out of nowhere... Thus, my first order of business began...
Awaking from my vision I was still seated upon the throne in the war room, my vision blinking rapidly as the entire sound of my surroundings washed into me. Clanking of armour as hundreds of soldiers ran through the building, the distant thunder strikes as a roar ensued. Veldora was fighting someone or something above the city. My speed went from zero to one hundred in less than a second, finding myself standing out the front of the government building as I slowly watched Veldora bite down towards another dragon of pure red-blue flame.
"VELDORA! YOU SHALL SUBMIT!!!" The psychic screeches of Veldora's elder sister exploded through everyone's minds as even the civilians were kneeling, blood slowly dripping down noses and ears.
"HAHAHAHA! NEVER...!" Anger flushed through my mind. I had left for a single day, worked my ass off and discovered so much and yet there were nuisances like her that still made time to ruin my day.
'Ancalagon... Consume her.' From the massive hole that had been created in my shield, Ancalagon, who had been dormant since I was away, emerged. Fire wreathed the ominous black-grey shadows that made his entire form. Purple magicules made veins run across this exterior much like magma within a volcano. Undulating chains of gold and ethereal darkness unwrapped from the shield above as they swung down, arcing towards Veldora's sister.
Amidst a swing of her tail these chains clasped onto her and sprouted spikes, the shadow piercing into her flame-tongued scales. Roars of pain followed only to be beaten by the quickly smothered screech she screamed out as hundreds more chains collapsed onto her and dug in like briars. Veldora was stunned by this and didn't react quickly enough as my powerful draconic shadow swooped down and bit down onto her. Seconds passed in shock for Veldora as a green fell energy was syphoned up from the body of Velgrynd.
Unfortunately this was short lived as scorch magic began to burn out from her and strike at the shadow, acceleration being used through the magic to destabilize the chains of energy within Ancalagon. Narrowing my eyes I cast a spell over my dragon and used the concept of stabilization within a Mind blank spell from DND. Instantly her powers were nullified as the fell energy once again began to seep out of her pours, the life force being sucked into my body, enhancing my powers. Veldora turned towards me now, his form switching from dragon to humanoid as he looked concerned.
"AHHHH! BITCH....!" In the next second she scraped her claw up towards Ancalagon, the power behind the claw increasing to unimaginable levels as the atmosphere ignited by a single microsecond of movement, plasma being created as a second passed. The sensation of danger filled my gut in that moment, a shield of pure greed emerging before Ancalagon as the power of the horde in my storage versed the power of the virtue, charity.
Unstoppable force met immoveable object as all that occurred was the creation of massive amounts of light and heat. My shield protected the city from the effects but the light was certainly annoying to my shadows. Her power was really annoying and honestly, her powers intrigued me, especially since she was a part of the Eastern Empire. I could eat the souls and take the powers for myself, using her corpse as a wraith for future purposes. It'd be cool to show my brothers and sister my Draco-lich. Tiamat would be excited for sure.
"Silviana! Don't kill her!"
"Why...? I refuse to allow her to come with us."
"W-well, she is my family, I-i can't just let her die."
Narrowing my eyes between him and his sister, who was starting to charge up some large magic spell, I licked my lips before sighing in frustration. Her powers were awesome, but I now understood where Veldora was coming from. Family was forever and I didn't want to kill Milim's aunt...
"Then I will not kill her. She will just be dominated." His eyes rose in confusion as the chains sunken into her flesh pulsed in pure gold. Mammon Morgoth was a nasty Ultimate when I wished to use it, and she was currently experiencing it.
<<CHAINS OF THE UNDYING HOARD>>
- The user wields golden chains that bind the souls of the dead and the living, subjugating both the material and immaterial. These chains, infused with both wealth and death, can summon wraiths from the shadows and absorb the power of whatever they bind. The user can dominate both the living and undead, enslaving their souls, drawing them into an eternal hoard of wraiths that serve as their unstoppable army. -
With this, she was fucked... Specifically, she was now technically my soul slave. Her mind would be under my control and her actions could not defy me in any way. She was saved by Veldora, otherwise I would have just eaten her.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THI- W-WHAT!?"
"Silviana??? What? What's is happening?"
"It's already happened. She's now my slave for all intents and purposes. I will allow her to live and have the same personality but she is denied to cause any damage to anyone that I have responsibility towards, am family with or friends with... This includes sharing of information and communication with forces that are hostile to us."
My words weren't just for Veldora, they were for his sister Velgrynd, who was now bound by the specific meaning of my words. The good aspect of my control was that I could add and remove aspects that I wished to later on. Her skill charity was still her own and was attempting to fight against my control, but it was useless as I had just disallowed her to use any means to threaten me or anyone I wanted unharmed... That included dreeing herself. Charity failed instantly as soon as she tried it, the chains tightening and slowly seeping into her flesh, becoming a part of her body and wrapping around her soul.
"I mean... Thank you? This is really weird."
"Heh, just be thankful that I had went on the trip I just did."
"You were inside the war room... What trip?"
"Ahum, never mind."
He scratched his head before turning to his older sister who was now grounded near me, her form turning back to that of a azure blue haired woman of Germanic appearance and beauty. Her hair was done in twin buns as her dress was embroidered with gold and black flowers on a slightly maroon background material.
"Bitch. What have you, done to me..."
"I have tamed the rabid dog that was your former self."
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUURRRRR!!!"
She snarled bestially at me as her eyes flashed draconic. Flames gathered between her gritted teeth. Then came the faint shifting sound of chains grinding over themselves. The snarling became a whimpering as she collapsed to the floor, the chains around her soul poking and prodding the exterior in small needle-thin bristles. Her nostrils flared as the flames faded, the needles receding synchronously.
"Damn... I've never seen Big sis be so tame before..." Veldora was awed by the display of power I had over her now. Concern was still present as he disliked me having control over her life and death, but I didn't care, her continued existence was a sign of my kindness. That would have to be enough.
"Veldora. Good job protecting people. Now, I need you to look after your sister."
"Velgrynd, listen to every order that Veldora gives you. You can reject only if it is self-harming." She glared in hatred towards me but was forced to nod as her entire body forced her upwards, her eyes locking onto her younger brother.
"O-oh, shit... This is a lot..."
"Heh, you ain't seen nothing yet. We need to get a move on. Cloak her presence so that the Emperor doesn't feel it." Her aura immediately shrunk as she absorbed her magicules in acquiescence of my request. She hated it, but she did it nonetheless. With this situation handled I repaired my shield, bolstered it with a prismatic wall and then added some DND wards as well. Now it would take a little longer and more force to fully tackle it. Honestly I should have done this from the beginning, I was too desperate to get things under action.
Snapping my fingers I disappeared from the entrance to the war-room building, emerging on the eastern border of the Jura Forest. Explosions and some shouting resounded in the distance but it was all very unimportant to me as I dug straight down several kilometres. Eventually I stopped when I reached the ten kilometres range, meditating as I bound hundreds of concepts that were similar in meaning to flying, hovering and anti-gravity. At the same moment all of my other clones; except the one in Exandria, were digging down in hundreds of different areas.
This ritual was just the first of many as it would help me raise the land when the time came. This alone would take ten hours of my time and effort, per circle made... My clones were very handy for this as it took something that would take weeks and weeks, narrowing it down to a single day's worth of effort. Transmutation, Dunamancy, Enchantment, Evocation and Illusion were all a part of it and there were several layers of fall-backs that ranged from protective in nature to down right offensive to anyone trying to tamper with the magic; other than me.
Meanwhile, in a cold arctic region...
"OI! Guy! My honey wants to speak!" The front doors of Guy Crimson's palace were kicked down as a massive magicule mass projected around the entire structure. Velzard stepped to railing that surrounded the stairs that lead from the central entryway to the upper levels, her expression utterly cold and annoyed.
"Milim... How many times have I said not to do this...?"
"Te-he! Don't worry bout it...! I am here to get the stinky red head." Milim's aunt sighed in tiredness as she arched her head around, finding the man who she loved coming out of the throne room. His gait was rather relaxed as he reached the very zenith of the front steps, his stalwart gaze simply dropping down onto his niece-in-law.
"Was'up Milim?"
"Honey wants to speak with you!"
"Honey...? Mmmm, you mean Silviana?"
"Honey is Honey...."
He stared at her in exasperation for a time, until a sly grin slipped onto his face.
"Sure I'll come and say hello. Though usually other people come see me."
"Yay! Come on then! She says it is super urgent!!"
Before he had any time to agree or disagree with the speed she grabbed him and ran him out the door, her wings flapping as her aunt followed with the same alacrity. Guy was simply held and started to get comfy as he gazed at his niece and rolled his eyes... This was odd for his niece, she usually never acted like this without a good reason...
'Silviana. You are more interesting than I gave you credit for.'

Ooof, this was a rather rapid chapter once again... But, yet again, I will emphasize, the speed is simply what Silviana would work at. Don't forget the power stones, comments and reviews!!!
