Catastrophe 26: yes, Isaac, king of the dead is back for another chapter, but amazingly this one's set three years after Isaac has become king of the dead
Oh yeah, one note, if you read chapter one at ten o clock at night with the song called A black rose from Eternal Darkness playing it can be really quite spooky, but then again I'm a wimp
King Of the Dead
Chapter two: Weyard at war?
Three years later
Kalay
Ivan was too late. He'd just seen Isaac's army leave Kalay to camp out on the Silk path for an hour or two. Ivan bit his lip and ran towards Kalay, knowing what he'd find. He didn't think it'd be as bad as it was. Isaac was a megalomaniac.
Ivan spotted the first bodies as he entered, the weapons shop keeper and son impaled on two spears with more dotted around sporting poor soul's heads, but no sign of the bodies they came from. Hundreds of people lay in the bloodbath, never to move again unless Isaac cast them under his spell. But that was a thought, Ivan thought to himself. Why didn't he?
Ivan dismissed that as he saw a sight he hoped he'd never have to see. Lady Hammet was lying in the fountain, in pieces. The water had turned a sickly red; if the head had been missing she'd have been unrecognisable. Slices of her body lay in various places of the fountain, the sight made Ivan throw up. The greenness of the vomit wasn't enough to deter the blood red water though.
Why was Isaac doing this?
But Ivan didn't have time for thinking, he had to get to Tolbi across the Kargol sea, and warn Garet and Mia that Isaac was headed for them next. Thank god he had come over by boat.
Garet was bored. It was Tuesday, nearly midnight, and Isaac still hadn't shown up yet, and if he did, what could Tolbi do? Isaac and his army of the dead had slain everyone in Kalay, how on Earth they were going to get out of this one was a complete mystery. The deep fog that night gave the air a spooky feel, like something terrible was going to happen.
Then he spotted the army.
Thousands of ghostly soldiers marching onto the continent via the silk path around the Kargol Sea, their swords drenched in blood from the massacre at Kalay. Garet was about to alert the soldiers of Tolbi Isaac was here when the army marched right past Tolbi without a glance back. What the hell was going on, but then he guessed. The new queen of Tolbi Morca was visiting Babi lighthouse.
"Oh holy crap!" Garet swore as he dashed down to the Chief of Tolbi army's office, shouting every curse he could think of about Isaac.
The head soldier Rhy's office was more of a hut than an office, Garet pounded on the door as if to break it down. Rhy pulled the door open with a weary look on his face in a "don't-piss-around-with-me-Garet-I'm-tired" look on his face.
"Isaac's avoided Tolbi!" Garet told Rhy grimly.
"What?" Rhy was instantly full of life, no massacre, Tolbi was safe, but Garet still looked grim "He's headed to Lalivero and Babi lighthouse" Rhy knew as well as Garet that Morca was at Babi lighthouse, so with no more words immediately sprung into action. He pushed Garet out of his way and shouted up to the soldiers on lookout on the walls of Tolbi.
"Get everyone ready, we're going to Lalivero!"
"Isaac"
"Who are you, what do you want with me?" Isaac yelled again into the murky blackness, the voice replied plainly.
"You are mine Isaac, mine"
"Stop pissing around, who are you?" Isaac was getting really annoyed now, what was this thing?
"MINE!" no.
Catastrophe26: See, I can have completely sick scenes when I want to. And next chapter I'm going to have Mia in it for a change in the big freaky dark cave of lights and whatever, otherwise known as exceedingly bloody hard place I was lost on for ages AKA Altmiller cave!
