**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-08-2009 09:13 PM

Walking out of the main door of Drakenhof, Lesa raised her hand in farewall to the rest of the Council as they prepared to enter Todd's unusual contraption. It would be a long and gruelling journey to the Plain of Bones, especially as they would have to take a long and circuitous route to avoid attention from the nearby Nagashizzar.
Raising her hand Lesa felt the the streams of shadow bent to her will, and out of the ground in front of her dark streams appeared. Gushing from between the flagstones the darkness merged together to form the shape of a dragon, yet something was different this time. She had noticed for a while know her steed had been growing with each summoning, and the beast now in front of her was truly huge. It was much bigger than the dragons that were still awake, such size had not been seen since the ancient dragons in Ulthuan still flew.
Not only that, it seemed more solid. This fact was reinforced when it took a step forward, its lashing tail crushing one of the skeletal guards by accident. This spell was not suppose to do this, it was meant to merely summon an steed of mist to transport her, it was not suppose to be solid enough to destroy things.
However much Lesa would have normally liked to investigate such an interesting magical variation, she knew now was not the time nor the place. In moments she was sat on the dragons back, ready to leave. After a second thought she called to Dythor,
"Come. Ride behind me." At least that way she could keep a close eye on the impaired vampire, in case his other personalities decided to be uncooperative.

This place intrigues me. Go, Dythor!
I agree with Dythor, we should go, Dythor, and see what this Plain of Bones really is!
"In the light of murmers the unknown is not seen by those who know," Dythor grunted as he stood behind Lesa.

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-09-2009 09:24 PM

Lesa raised her eyebrow at the cryptic comment. Normally such ramblings tested her patience, but she knew the insane vampire was necessary. Sighing she resigned herself that it seemed that whatever she tried she could not change fate.

"Fate is not my master!" Lesa snapped at the old man, eyes darting to avoid his piercing gaze.
"Do not be foolish child." The affectionate name seemed funny considering he knew what she was. But then of course it was silly of her to assume she would be able to hide it from him, considering who he was.
"I will not do it! Do you hear me? I just won't, and nothing you can say or do will make me." She knew she sounded like a defiant child to an adult, but she didn't care.
"I hear you clear as day, these old ears are not going deaf yet." The rebuke was stern, yet underneath she could hear the pity and it infuriated her even more. Before she could speak he continued on.
"It is not I who will make you. It is not anyone. You know what you have to do, you know why. It must be done, yet...." The pause caused her to finally meet his eyes, and in them she saw he was truly sorry.
"The pain, the hardship. I would not wish it on anyone. But sometimes there is no other way........."

Mentally shaking herself, Lesa looked around,
"Where are the others? Do they not understand we have to hurry?"

**Get of W'soran** · 03-09-2009 10:37 PM

V'azrin muttered as he half limped out of the castle.
He kept silent and looked almost lazily at Lesa.
"Well...whats the next exact course of action...hmm?"

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-10-2009 09:03 PM

"I would have though you would know that more than I?" Lesa replied with a light laugh, "you was present for the meeting." As she looked down on the Necrach she noticed that he seemed to have become sullen and withdrawn, and a worry entered her mind.
"We are to fly to the Plain of Bones, yet we are waiting for Simon to appear." She paused before finally deciding to ask,"V'azrin, are you ok? You seem......preoccupied..."

**Simon von Carstein** · 03-10-2009 09:09 PM

"we're up here Lesa!" said Simon's voice as a pair of hellsteeds swooped down from the sky to join them carrying Simon and Sariah.

**Get of W'soran** · 03-10-2009 09:55 PM

V'azrin glanced up at Simon a faint sneer forming on his corpse like lips
"Yes I'm fine Lesa..." he said his tone seemingly colder than before

Hissing a incantation he summoned a dragon formed of pure shadow
"Lets just get this over and done with" the Necrarch muttered

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-11-2009 09:42 PM

Lesa's eyes narrowed at V'azrin's words. Something was definitely wrong, yet the Necrach would not speak openly in front of Simon.
Luckily Lesa had a way round that. Though she had not done it in a while, some things were never forgotten. A sliver of power later and a connection was formed to V'azrins mind. She knew it was secure, unless a mage who was more powerful than here in close proximity only V'azrin would hear her.
"What is wrong?" she thought, whilst keeping her expression clear. As she waited for his response she willed her dragon upwards, its massive shape dwarfing that of V'azrin's steed, even more so of the two hellsteeds Simon and Sariah sat on. As she pulled alongside the Count she smiled at him,
"Has Sariah talked about her vision to you yet?"

**Simon von Carstein** · 03-12-2009 10:24 PM

"I can't say she has" Simon replied "was it a good one? Because she's very rarely wrong about the future." He smiled "its going to be interesting to have a Dragon as my steed not even grandfather thought of having one. I'll be the first in my family." Turning to Sariah he said "its time to go pet. The divine plan waits for no one."

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-12-2009 10:38 PM

"There it is again!" Lesa exclaimed at Simon's words, "what is the divine plan? That was mentioned more that once in Sariah's vision." The vampires were now flying along at a fast speed, high in the sky where they would look like nothing more that birds to people on the ground. This high up it was freezing with little air, but that did not bother the creatures of the night.
"The vision was not a good one Simon. You have to be honest with me if we are to avoid the events in it unfolding."

**Simon von Carstein** · 03-12-2009 11:02 PM

"The divine plan is something I have been devising and working on for a good four hundred and fifty years it will correct the mistakes of the past and right a wrong and nothing must threaten it." said Simon tightlipped "not even Mircea, Vyachaslev and Drako are aware of it yet but they'd approve believe me. The mortal coil is going to become heaven with a new pantheon of Gods and Altdorf will be our temple.

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-13-2009 11:05 PM

At Simon's words Lesa looked at him sharply.
"Surely you are going to do what I think you are? Even Vlad could not conquer the Empire, you cannot hope to succeed! The lands of men are united, the have progressed far in learning of magic, and their ties to the Dwarves and the Elves are stronger than ever. What makes you think you can succeed now, when our kind is a worse position than it was centuries ago?" She paused for a moment, before a thought crossed her mind.
"Did Milosh know of this?"

**Simon von Carstein** · 03-14-2009 12:31 AM

"Milosh knew nothing about my plans and united or not the empire and the dwarven holdings are in terrible shape at present, my servants have infiltrated the imperial court and under my orders ransacked the temple of Sigmar, The Libermortis along with the spell of unbinding is now safely back in von Carstein hands. The only thing left to do is unite the vampires behind one banner. But that task is beyond my ability and only one can bring us back from the brink, Only one can lead us against Nagash with any chance of success." said Simon with a fanatical gleam in his eyes.

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-15-2009 08:00 PM

For once Lesa did not know what to say. The fanatical look in Simon's eyes told her it would be useless to dissuade him, yet if he was planning what she thought he was it could prove disastrous. But then the vision did not make sense. It showed a future where if someone tried stopping Simon he would conquer the Empire, but Draithon did not would Simon be successful anyway? She had a shrewd idea who the 'one' might be, something she had learned many years ago. Finally she looked back at him,
"I should not be surprised should I? You have always had the lust for conquest in your heart. But let us deal with the darkness that is Nagash before you upset the lands of men. We cannot afford a war on two fronts."

Suddenly out of nowhere a massive bolt speared through Lesa's dragon. Luckily it caused no damage to the magical creature, and Lesa was fervently thankful her steed was not one of the flesh and blood variety. Looking down she saw a row of dwarf bolt throwers unleashing their deadly load once more. In their discussion they had flown into the mountains, and over a dwarven colony.As the shower of bolts shot upwards Lesa cried to the others,
"Watch out!"

**Simon von Carstein** · 03-15-2009 08:34 PM

"That has always been the plan Lesa."said Simon sharply "never fear Nagash will be eliminated first. But after that the divine plan will be seen through to its completion."

He broke off as a massive bolt narrowly avoided his steed and speared Lesa's dragon. Looking down he spotted the dwarves and cursed them. "Watch out!" shouted Lesa as a fresh volley of missiles came their way. Simon snarled in anger "once I'm finished with Nagash I'm going to wipe out the lot of you!" he shouted raising his hand and concentrating as a great wind of energy struck the dwarves many of them succumbing to it as spirits began to appear within their ranks. "KILL THEM!" Simon roared. The spirits immediately attacked the Dwares around several of the war machines lessening the missiles being launched at them.

**Get of W'soran** · 03-16-2009 10:54 PM

V'azrin sighed slightly as his dragon swayed out of the way from a bolt that flew towards his magical steed.
"Pathetic scum" he hissed although sounding tired and half-hearted.
Whispering an incantation he summoned an etheral shield that would protect him from most physical harm.
Flying his steed higher he ignored the Von Carstein to fly near Lesa
"What are we to do now? Ignore the Dwarves or strike back?" spat the necrarch loudly.

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-17-2009 08:23 PM

As much as she would have loved to destroy the dwarves, Lesa knew there was much more important things at hands. Looking down she could see an ancient dwarf speaking, before suddenly the area was clear of spirits. A Runesmith changed the situation, providing it much more difficult to cast magic.

"We ignore. If we climb higher they will not be able to reach us. Even their flying contraptions cannot fly too high." Urging her steed higher the speeding bolts fell short. The shaft that had lodged itself in her dragon finally worked loose, falling to the rocky ground below.

"We need to hurry. No doubt Nagash has his own allies, and we do not want to meet the Dread Lords before we are ready."

***************************

The vampires flew swiftly for hours on end. Over the freezing mountain tops they crossed, before they tuned south following the mountains on their right. Pass Mount Silverspear, pass Crookback, pass the Grey Hag. The plains beneath them were dead, devoid of life except for roaming bands of greenskins.
Eventually a small mountain range appeared in the distance, billowing smoke from active volcanoes obscuring the land beyond.
"Pass there lies the Plain of Bones," Lesa said, "we will have to land and walk in. Flying over is not advisable."

**Simon von Carstein** · 03-19-2009 11:07 PM

The vampires landed in the wasteland and dismounted. Simon glanced around "I can see why the denizens of this place are so determined to migrate to the old world." He moved over to Lesa "what did Sariahs vision show you?" he asked "I want to know every detail. I could easily ask Sariah myself but then I'd have sort out every snippet of information and try to make sense of it. It might be quicker if you just told me."

**Disciple of Nagash** · 03-20-2009 10:05 PM

For the first time since she had met him, Lesa felt a sense of unease talking to the von Carstein. It was not fear, but more the fact her words could drive his seeming fanaticism to extremes.

"We will talk along the way," she answered gesturing to the plains before her. In truth there was very little that could br seen of the actual plains. Covering them for as far as they could see were bones, titanic skeletons of long dead dragons. It was clear the ancient creatures had been coming here to die for thousands of years, as their bodies created artificial hillocks and tunnels ahead.

"The steeds we seek lie towards the centre. There the eldest of them lie. There is nothing in this world save perhaps Nagash that can bind the first of the dragons, but if we are lucky we should find some of the second and third generations."

As the small group started off into the dark tunnels that were formed by the corpses, Lesa was glanced at V'azrin. The Necrach's erratic behaviour was not helping, and she wondered was the cause. A cough to her side brought back her attention, as Simon walked alongside her. Sighing she started to talk, wondering if telling him the full story would be best, or if it would be better to hold things back. She told of Draithons deception, of Simon's descent into rage and then stopped. She would gauge his reaction before she said anything else.

Trevy the Great · 03-20-2009 10:44 PM

"A most interesting tale, enchanting mistress." A low, rasping voice sounded from nowhere. The Vamires glanced around uneasily, looking for the source of the words. What tricks did this place contain?
"Yet I wonder, what does it mean?"
The dark robed figure of Zosz materialized in a blast of dark smoke that swirled around them in the hot breeze that wafted over the desolate land.
"I hear you are raising dragons." The Necromancer continued, "A difficult task. Would you object to my joining you?"
