Nyx stepped into the conference room, fully confident in her abilities to convince her colleagues.
The meeting room was always damp, seeing as the leader didn't need temperature management because she had no skin.
She sat down at the far end of the table where she and the past leaders of Cursed Vale always sat on.
"So... What are we discussing this time? Complaining? More complaining?" One of the attendants said out loud.
"The Shadows have just threatened us, this is a serious matter, Elia." Nyx replied.
"How can it be? We had taken all the necessary precautions to fight off our enemy in case they interrupted our work again."
"Well, it just didn't work out in our favor, nothing too complicated." Nyx replied to him.
"Why don't you tell us? What exactly happened, Nyx?" One of the older attendants spoke out.
She realized what was about to happen the moment she heard those sounds; She quickly took her transparent form and waited for the giants.
CRASH
The Giants dug her and his golem 5 feet deep into the ground, almost into a cave that anyone could peek through a small crack.
She glanced at her golem, now consisting of little particles. The girl was watching from above, a small smile plastered on her face.
The little Fae had gotten out of sight by the time she was able to climb upwards. The dark magic she activated while in the hole was doing its purpose very well. Nearly every creature was now infected.
She came across a few Shadow Warriors on the corridor to the main hall. She quickly took them out both with her green lightning attacks, taking their souls before they went away.
She sensed a spider coming her way from behind rather quick, just hitting it as the bug lunged at her.
She quickly summoned three skeletons, then putting the souls into the skeletons to have someone control them.
The main hall consisted of 5 large couches, all smelling amazing. Or rather terrible for Nyx.
The Faes that were on her side had fought off the army successfully before another Shadow Giant crushed one of the Faes.
The other Fae fought back, using an immobilization trick that froze all of its organs as well as the heart.
The Giant was slowly collapsing onto the ground, struggling for breath rather than heart beats.
Nyx moved along and helped the Dark Fae, speeding up the process.
CRASH
A giant spear tore through the ceiling and onto the Fae. Massive cracks had formed around it, and lots of purple blood.
The Giant was somehow healing from the spear's presence, quickly standing up and rushing towards Nyx.
She vaulted over to the side, taking the souls of a few dead Dark Faes and making a few more skeletons.
The Skeletons were attacking the enemy while their creator healed them with her lightning strikes set to heal allies.
A sudden pain sent The Tomb Raiser flying towards the leg of a couch. Luckily hitting her robe instead of her skull, which meant hitting nothing.
The Fox from The Lash War was back and was heading towards herself. The Undead quickly rolled over to the side, the spear breaking the leg instead.
She cast a continuous lightning shock towards her enemy, distracting it long enough to turn the skeletons into a Golem.
The Golem stopped the Shadow Giant from attacking its master, thus starting a fight between them.
Nyx had activated her ghost form before the incoming spear made contact with herself. Grabbing the Fox and throwing it towards another couch.
The couch lost its balance and broke from the immediate pressure. The Tomb Raiser quickly moved towards a more comfortable position before it stood up.
Meanwhile, the Golem threw a punch towards The Shadow Giant, making it angry. It took hold of its enemy, sending the thick bone towards its master.
Luckily, Nyx's senses were quite aware of their surroundings, stopping the Golem in the air with a forcefield.
She was analyzing The Fox's spear, and its uses before a stick to the head interrupted her thoughts.
It was that Fae again, running towards the exit. Nyx gritted her teeth in frustration, not realizing her enemy was lunging at herself.
This time, she wasn't quick enough... Not fast enough to let the Fox disable her body movement.
"Now I have you... If you had just listened to me, none of this would need to happen."
"I would rather die than listen to your nonsense." She replied back furiously.
The Fox raised its spear without changing its facial expression.
"Just say what you have to say."
The Fox stalled for a moment, thinking carefully about the words that it was going to say to her.
"My master wants a deal. Perhaps more of an alliance proposal."
"Nice execution." She cut it off.
"You give us %70 of your army, we, in exchange give your people magic staffs constructed by the professionals who specialize in the business."
"Want my answer? Hell no. We can't trust you."
"We're making an alliance, no betrayal or backstabbing will occur if you do your part."
"We'll think about it, just please get off of my ghost body." She replied, struggling to have control again.
The Spear Wielder stood up, giving a hand towards its master's new allies.
"Don't go celebrating yet, we are still thinking about it, and our answer will probably be No."
"If that is your answer, I will gladly throw you in Twilight Stratospheres without my master's command."
"Fine, we'll consider it." She replied back, frustrated.
"That is interesting. Have you decided?"
"No, not yet. but we'll probably have to go along with it, whether we like it or not." Nyx replied to the attendant.
"Humans are an incredible source of money, firepower, and are just very useful to us in any case. If The Shadows lose this war, we're in trouble."
"Then we use all the energy and resources we have to defeat our former allies." The Tomb Raiser spoke out.
"Are you sure? This is a very dangerous area we are about to step on, and I don't feel like losing all of our resources and people just to help out an evil civilization."
"ENOUGH! We have no choice right now, don't you all see? Their army is far stronger than ours, and it made it clear they would annihilate us if we didn't cooperate."
"Guess so..."
