<<Again, not arting this because I won't do it justice. I'm a better writer than I am an artist, honest!>>
Before my army arrives at the next town, I move ahead, in broad daylight. I wear a simple white robe with a runed mantle, the hood over my head and my smoke sifting out the top, my eyes glowing in the gloom. I approach the noble's home and castle, doors slamming open in front of me and portculli screaming open.
They are helpless to stop me. Arrows fly at me, and stop in midair to drop to earth harmlessly. Men assault me with swords and I fly out of their reach. Eventually, they let me go on my way. I reach the noble, sitting on his stupid throne, shaking in fear. I speak only three words.
"Unity has come."
He screams as a bolt of my will slams into his forehead, and his face begins to shift. Then his body, shuddering, swelling, bones snapping and cracking, blood pouring freely from all hos orifices.
His family watches in horror as I turn the man into nothing but a shuddering mound of biomass, then turn to the rest of them.
"You have one day. Twenty four hours to decide whether to follow me or suffer as this pitiable wretch."
There is a pause. The wife stands.
>"We will not succumb to demons!"
"Very well. Sacrifices must be made for unity. You will be... one of many."
I snap my fingers, and the lump of biomass twitches in response, re-forming into a long, gangly creature with one long bone blade extending from its arm.
"Kill them." I murmur, and then leave, to the wonderful song of their cries of agony. I can see the army swelling on the horizon.
