Shadoes Conquest. 20

Deep in thought Polan sat in his study pondering his next move. Conquest was on his mind. Forget the dragons,he had power enough to begin his campaign. His mountain was his, now it was time to branch out and make his kingdom. Polan rose up and walked out of the house. He looked around and watched his dead men carrying out his orders. He would need more, many more dead men to his plans.Then he had an idea. He could create a plague to infect mens minds so he can control them, wipe out free will and make them his servants.Yes, lots of grave dust and a spell. He and the Dragons could fly over the nearest kingdom and spread it over the city, infecting everyone. Then just walk in and take over. That would be the beginning of his army. Then he would would move city to city, taking what he wanted.
" All of you. Come to me"
He said to a group of dead men walking by. They walked over and bowed.
" I want you to get barrows of dirt from the graveyard and bring it to me here."
They all backed off to do as they were told. Polan walked toward the back of his manor to find his dragons waiting there for him.
" My pets." He said. " We have work to do. This world will soon be ours. Stay here and wait for me to come for you."
The two dead dragons roared. The blue feathered one was no longer there. He had sent it after Rage and it had been destroyed. Doesn't matter, he could make more if he needed. Polan walked back to the manor to mix the things that he would need for his spell. Soon he was done and six barrows were ready. Polan walked out and started his spell.

PLAGUE AND SICKNESS
FEVER AND PAIN
WILL COME FALLING DOWN LIKE RAIN
LET ALL THAT TOUCH, OR FEEL OR BREATH
BECOME MY PAWN
AND AND FILL MY NEEDS
MY POISON WILL QUICKLY SAP YOUR WILL
AND MAKE YOU MINE TO CONTROL UNTIL
DEATH COMES TO RELEASE YOUR SOUL
I MAKE YOU MINE BY BIND AND HOLD

Smoke began to rise from each barrow,the dirt became black as night and give off a noxious smell. Polan smiled and spit into the foul earth then he called his two pets. He pointed to the barrows and shifted to Shadoe.
[BOTH OF YOU PICK UP A BARROW AND FOLLOW ME.]
Shadoe grabbed a barrow and took to the sky, as his pets followed him.The first great kingdom they came to was Maveta. Shadoe cracked open his container and let the dirt drift on the winds. Maveta was a very big kingdom with a mighty army to support it. In a few days it would be his army, all begging for a cure and a way to ease there pain. He would ease the pain, as long as they followed his commands. But not the royal family, they had to die. No one must be alive to get in his way. No rallying the unaffected peasants would be happening. He knew there would be some that got away or somehow was unaffected, he would round them up and dispose of them. The skies turned gray as the poisoned earth began to fall. Any birds that were caught in the cloud fell dead to the ground. On the ground small animals died, cats and dogs. horses and cattle lived. One good thing did happen, there will be no more rodents in Maveta. Making sure it spread all over the city Shadoe was satisfied with the job he had done . The poison cloud would fall all over the city and surrounding area. With a final look he turned back to his mountain. In two days he would go claim his city. To bad he couldn't take the whole world like this, but magic just didnt work like that. No spell could be used twice. Its a good thing he saved three barrows. Just in case he ran into a difficult region he'd be prepared.

Two days later at sundown Polan flew off as Shadoe to claim his city. From high up he didnt see any movement in the city, all was still. He landed in the field outside the gate. It was wide open and no one manned it. He smiled his wicked smile and walked on. Inside the city he saw people laying everywhere. Crawling around and retching there guts out. His poisons had worked like e planned. All these people were new his to so as he pleased. He kept walking until he came to the palace. There he threw opened the doors and made his challenge.
" I am Polan Dressak." He said." Master Necromancer and your new king. Where is the old king?"
Two guards tried to get up and defend there King. Polan pointed at them and blasted them with his shadow power, they crumpled to the ground withered old corpses. On he walked to the throne room, where he found the king slumped on the throne. He opened his eyes and looked at Polan. He had never met this man before him, but he knew he was responsible for what was plaguing his lands. He didn't have the strength to rise or so anything else.
" Your the one that did this." He said. " Why?"
Polan laughed and pushed him off the throne then climbed on himself. He looked down on the king.
" You had something i wanted." He said. " You don't anymore. Now lay there and dies please, while I take your kingdom."
Reaching into his pocket Polan pulled out a large vial, he opened it and throw it into the air. A mist started to roam through the castle. As the people breathed it they began to feel better.. Everyone in the throne room began to move.Polan reached down and scratched the king.
" You are all my people now." He sais. " As long as you serve me the pain and sickness will stay away. But anyone that displeases me will die from the sickness i placed on you all. Look at your king, how he ages and dies before you. I now go and kill the royal family. Let it be known. If you try and leave, you will die running away. I wont have to chase you, your already mine. So Just accept me as your King or you can all die. Pretty soon you'll realize you cant resist my command. I will control all of you like at or not."
Polan made his way through the palace, from the Queens suite to the three princes room. Killing those he found. Prince Shayn's room was empty. He must be somewhere on the grounds suffering. No matter, if hes here anywhere he would find him. Soon all his belongings would be here and he would be ready to move his army out. Polan would called the generals to him give them his orders. By morning his poison would would have bent them to his will. Then he can send men out to discover which landed to take next.
