"You have no knowledge of the war or the gravelords, yet you appeared certain that his majesty would be brought back by time alone, how come?" by then, the two of them were overlooking Armond getting wrapped up in bloody clothes, he had only been injected with a dose of the latest drug produced by One a few few minutes ago, but he had been made into a loyal servant already.
"Don't you feel in your guts?
We undeads just know it, the king to soon break out of his cage and come back to lead us once more, that's why I'm working to plant agents high up inside as many kingdoms as possible, this way, we could distract them with their own affairs for us to properly group up" she explained as the newly made thrall stood up and joined the ranks.of the few others the vampire had brought with her.
She had spoken in length of many things, if Loimos didn't stop her to question her, she would just keep on rambling, all the while moving closer and closer, to the point that she might just climb up on his back at one point, Loimos couldn't be slowed down by her weight so he didn't bother moving away.
"So, you are set on finding out where the king is, and then you're going to go find the ancient undeads who were part of the court?" One rubbed her chin, her other arm around the skeleton's neck, she could clearly tell that his body was somewhat mushy by now, only cultivating her odd fixation.
Loimos knew that the undeads that once surrounded the king were simply in realm of powers that he hadn't even scratched yet, Slotriig, a royal guard, possessed incredible might, the heavy hitters on the side of the living had been there a long time ago, it was highly unlikely for them to still be around.
Thanatok Ynigós, The First Death Hunter and Maiele Liameilos, The Elven Light.
"Loimos, before you leave, would you mind, hum, lending me a hand?
I had actually been meaning to silence everyone knowing of the deal within the city, those fuckers think they can just sell my stuff at a higher price than normal and not give me my money at all, I can't have them telling on my business when the final product isn't even close to being done, can you help murder every single criminal in this city, pretty please?" he could have told her that one of the royal guards he was going to look for eventually was a knowledgeable alchemist, but he knew that were idea of passing time, and his idea of it where completely different, it would take him months, if not longer just traveling from place to place to check the crypts and he might not find this undead at all.
So he agreed, he could not possibly have a problem with slaughtering people.
"Alright, let's find each other near that hole in the ground in three days, at night, I'll bring the other three as well, don't try to murder them please, I need them alive for my dealings" without elaborating any further, she sent a kiss flying his way and took her thralls away.
It was a wonder whether she would still be so flirtatious was she aware that he was a skeleton coated in decay, but not one of Loimos's, he headed back into the city, the gate still somewhat open from when Armond had sneaked out, he had gotten himself into the night shift ahead of time to be able to go out and meet with one, no one else seemed to have noticed that the gate wasn't as it should.
Loimos slipped inside, walked over to the rather simple contraption in charge of making the gate slid and closed it down as it should be before heading for the home of the late Armond, getting inside through a window that didn't close as he had many times before and to insure that his disappearance wouldn't be noticed too quickly, silenced the ones certain to know first.
Clearing everything of possible proof of foul play, Loimos used the reminder of his time before the agreed time with One to do some light testing of his abilities.
