Sorry for being late, I was at the dentist yesterday andthanks to our new Patron HaiiroOokaantic Flesh Atronach as 7bythat to 15
A Gigantic Flesh Atronach
A walking tower of flesh reaching the height of 15 meters, a tad shorter than the city's walls, made of flesh on a manufactured skeletal frame all of that sacked in a cover of huether (A Pic in Discord's Gallery)
This co on two andfroeball-sized flail to the other It had a face that carried the twisted features of hundreds of sacrificed innocents Pain and suffering hat can be seen on it if someone can endure the dread that face causes
But no one could
The sight of that undead siege engine aluts and shi+t their innards out
It was death incarnate
Even lord Karee the defense couldn't help but freeze in front of that thing
He thought and thought of what is behind him and what is ahead of him Behind him was a city to protect and behind him was an enemy to repel
He looked to his left and saw scared ht and saw scared ainst him
”What kind of shi+t is that?” Karee undead but it barely reached thirtyface appeared to all around hi his shoulder and his skin was dark as any Redguard but his eyes reflected the will to survive
”What kind of shi+t is that? I asked you!” He ju to his soldiers
They looked at hi what to say
”That thing… that thing over there is soht out of the stories of Cyrus and the Dragon That is not a thingfor us… All of us
We have two choices, we either die shi+tting ourselves and begging for life, or we just die… taking that thing doith us cause let ht e feast in Far Shores before the sun goes up and make the whole damn Hammerfell envy us”
” Yea…” A few responded to the Lord's speech
”I see your necks arching down as if you're scared that soh the for us is ive those citizens running to the boats a chance so they can tell our story
Our souls won't be damned for we are the warriors of Stros M'kai!”
”Yeah!”
”We don't fear, we don't falter!”
”Yeaah!”
”We look at death, we know it's co, but ill race for it to Far Shores”
”Yeaaaah!”
”Then let ht, Stros M'kai uards, HAIL!”
”YEAAAAH!” ”HAIL!”
Lord Kareem inspired the soldiers like none other Those who had lost all the will to fight were dragged back to shape
Karee at the Abomination that was less than a fewthe shouts of Soldiers away from the walls, Zayed sneered in disdain
”Idiots!” He said
”Lord Zayed! Lord Zayed!”
An oldto Zayed
”Lord Haathered all that we can at the docks, where is the Young Lord?” Hammad asked
”Oh! I… I don't knohat to say Lord Kareeht He won't retreat” Zayed said putting a disheartened face
”What? No! You toldLord must survive!”
”I a Old ht starts Oh! Look, it is starting Let's go, let's go”
Zayed pulled away Hauards directed them to the docks As soon as they reached there, they started hearing the sounds of a battle on the wall
”Not good” Hammad said as he looked back to the wall
”My Lord” One of his guards shouted to hi to evacuate”
”AH! This girl”
Hammad couldn't stand it and ran to the docks, Zayed looked indifferent as he followed silently
Once they reached near a certain shi+p, they could see a girl arguing with the guards She was a good looking Redguard girl wearing a decent dress anda serious face
”Father, they wouldn't let ? Go back to the shi+p” Hahter with a helpless appearance
”Father, where is Lord Kareeirl spoke, she showed a strong character different frohter I a…”
”You say what?” She turned scarier than she was before
”Daughter, I…”
As Hahter, Zayed was approached by a sweating chubby young man
”Father, I did as you asked and loaded all the treasures from the warehouse By the way, I found that sword…”
Zayed's son, Mansour, was ordered by his father to secure so them, he found an old sword that he suspected to be junk and came to inquire about it
But once Zayed saw the sword, his hair stood up from the scare
”You imbecile!… hide that” Zayed was about to shout but to not cause a scene, he lowered his voice and pushed the sword in his son's mantle
”Don't ith that around, you fool Did anyone else see it?” Zayed asked
”N- No… No” The boy stuttered
”Who saw it?” Zayed pulled his son's ear with anger
”I- It- Lady Faten saw it but she didn't seenize it” The boy said in pain
”Hmph! You better be thankful she didn't”
”F- Father, what are aiting for? Let's leave this island already” Mansour whined
”Stay quiet now!” Zayed wasn't pleased with the current situation as the Hairl… why is she giving us such trouble? Boy, didn't you say you are already in a good relationshi+p with her?” Zayed asked his son
”Eh? I didn't… she is okay but… that governor! Once he came back from the mainland, she is all about him, father Wh… what should I do?”
”Tsk! Useless boy… don't worry The city won't hold ht now”
Zayed was convinced that the city won't hold as his contacts from the other side convinced him so If he wanted to survive, he was to leave the city as soon as Saintsport Village gets torched by the Necroe is on the other side of the bay and the Necro to take it then use its boats to attack the city from the docks
His role was to keep the Governor in check, cut assistance frouarded Also, if possible, he should plot the Hunding Chargers to go in a confrontation against the undead This will guarantee the city's finest soldiers being out of the picture and the ed to do most of his role but the Governor was protective of his elite cavalry
Still, Zayed's job wasn't over as he has some last business to take care of The Hammad family are very richa weak character, his daughter is beautiful and smart but on top of it all, she is the only heiress If he could tie that girl to his son, he would gain a lot of riches but unfortunately, she and the young governor were head over heels for each other
That girl was now delaying the departure for the Governor that should be dead by now
”Lord Ha We hter argulared at hihter, Fatso! You two listen, you want to leave, take your shi+ps and leave I a”
Faten stor towards the city, Mansour bumped into her
