The Alps, 5:30am
In the barren mountain range that was the Swiss Alps, A small army trudged awkwardly through the snow. The men moved oddly...shuffling along the rocks with uneven strides. They were lead by A tall figure covered from head to toe in armor, his helm bearing a skull. The figure turned to the man next to him, who was also covered in armor, but wore no helmet. The mans face was rotted, and his eyes glew dimly red. The armored one spoke.
"Brutalis....this is it."
The one called Brutalis nodded, turning to the army of shuffling men, that were mere husks, shells, zombies. He barked an order, and they began to move the rocks, to dig, to unearth something large...something buried. Brutalis approached the man in armor, who surveyed the scene with grim satisfaction.
"My lord Faer..."
Faer held up a hand, silencing him.
"Enough, Brutalis. Sirrush will walk among us once again...let's make sure he feels welcome?" He said, his cold voice echoing out of the mask. Brutalis nodded, and descended down to the working zombies again. Moving past them, he looked inside of a cage that several of the zombies had carried up the mountain. In the cage were several unconscious, living humans. Brutalis took them out, one by one, and chained them to the ground around the excavation area. After he was finished, he moved back up to Faer. Faer nodded to him.
"Soon..."

The human's chained to the ground woke quickly as the cold chilled them and then slowly weakened as time passed, the undead army unmoved by the cold or their cries and pleas of mercy, the harsh cold biting at their helpless forms.
Soon one noticed the snow begining to melt, slowly at first and then quicker and quicker then evaperating before it even had a chance to pool into water. The bare stone revealed to them heaved and glowed as some terrible force stir beneath them.
An eruption of dirt and rock sprayed into the air as a clawed hand smashed through to the surface, the ground began to bulge upwards and as the dirt cleared, black scales could be seen beneath. Great wings spread out of the back, covering the human in a shadow that caused them to panic and thrash violently against their chains. Clearing the dirt, a reptilian horned head rose into the air, its eyes flashed open as it roared.
Sirrush had been awoken
The dragon, stood on all fours, still partially covered in the dirt and rock built up over years of slumber, its gaze passing over the sight before it, first on the humans, then to the zombie horde.
"Butcher them..." He commanded, looking upon the now frozen in terror humans "..slowly"

Brutalis grinned and drew his sword. The zombies, unarmed, simply began to close in around the humans, tearing them apart with their bare hands. The screams of pain and cries of agony echoed into the morning air. Faer hovered of the ground, flying up towards Sirrush's head, watching the slaughter along with the dragon.
"It has been far too long, Sirrush.... I trust you are enjoying my gift?" his voice rasped from the helmet.

The dragon weathered hide seem to recover from its long slumber with every painfilled death. The dragon's voiced filled his servants mind once more.
"Your gift marks the begining of a far greater cull Faer, the human races tormented spirit still tastes as sweet and it has been long since I have gorged upon that morsel." He hissed with a sadistic smugness
"Tell me, what has become of the world since I last took flight? I trust conflict still ravanges this world between mankind and other like myself?"

Faer nodded.
"Of course...but mankind and his 'technologies' have become far more advanced... it would seem that they are winning this war."

"Then we must do something to fix this development" Sirrush snarled. "Mankind will be sent back screaming into barbarism, never again shall they stand as a threat to our domination."
The dragon having recovered somewhat from its slumber thank to the spirits of the now mutilated humans, moved to a vantage point where it could look down upon the landscape spread before them.
"Our first task will be to establish a new den, your horde will spread across the land taking down the minor human towns and villages, growing in number with the ranks of their dead. These "technologies" the humans have developed will be used to serve our purpose, train your army in their usage. Let fear spread to the humans, let them know we are coming for them. Once we are ready we shall seige the city of Rome."
He turned to face Faer "You shall once again act as my emissary, my warlord and my highest priest. Once again we shall build and empire in this land."

Faer cackled.
"Of course my lord. Man will once again cower in fear before out presence, and you will take your rightful place as king of this world. Your reign begins this day..." Faer descended to the general of his army.
"Brutalis. Take my army. Spread across this land like a plague, kill everything that moves....and incorporate it into us."
Brutalis nodded and barked another order, the zombies shuffling together into a line, marching down the mountainside. THey faded away into the mists. Faer returned to his spot next to the Dragon.
"What shall you do in the meantime, my lord?"

Sirrush streched his wings out "I have been absent from the skies far too long, time to make myself known to the humans of this time." He lifted himself of the ground and began to spiral upwards into sky, breathing plumes of flames across the mountainside, causing the snow to melt into a wave of rushing water building momentum as it swirled and crashed into the lands below.
Sirrush hovered in the air before Faer. "There is something I must attend to in the north, something that should prove quite useful in the coming war. I shall return to you once I have recovered it."

"As you wish milord...I will begin preperrations to turn this place into our sanctum."

"Your loyal service shall be rewarded as always"
Sirrush took to the skies once more and disappeared over the horizon

Faer nodded and began his work...first ressurecting those innocents that his zombies had slain, he set tehm to work clearing the area. When his army returned....the construction of the fortress would begin.

It was days later when the army returned, numbering in the thousands. Faer grinned as he stood atop a rocky outcropping, watching the mass of zombies shuffle into the valley. Brutalis approached several minutes later, and Faer spoke to him without looking away from his horde.
"Excellent work, Brutalis. Have them begin the fortress."
Brutalis nodded and descended into the valley, shouting commands over the groans of the undead. The zombies began to clear away rubble and form blocks from boulders. The process would be long and arduous...but who would complain?

Faer's train of thought was interupted by a dark shadow forming before him, two eyes stared back at him, the will of Sirrush made manifest.
"Faer" it hissed "The fortress has at last begun construction I see, good. I have two important matters to tell you. First I have aquired a new dragonic ally, we shall return to you soon. Second I have recovered the Mask of Deceit, once I have returned I shall send you and our new ally on a mission of great importance to the fulfilment of our destiny"

Faer grinned.
"As you wish milord. It will be good to again use the mask to destroy everything the humans hold dear." he said, cackling.
"I await your arrival with earnest."

In the skies above the citadel, a dark shape appeared and coalesced into the form of Tsuki. Her eyes swept the fortress and the thousands upon thousands of undead and smirked. "Well, well, using the slain of the humans in slave labor to make your fortress, eh Sirrush? Most pleasing, good to see a hint of what is in store for humanity."
She saw Faer out of the corner of her eye and turned to look at him. "Who are you?"
