Talion POV
We were approaching the fort it was a good thing it was only three hours of marching away and when we cam into view I took in the deatail the wall were made of thick iron and archers lined the wall and archers maned the towers at each corner of the fort and I saw each one had a warning horn so we camped on the other side of the hill out o sight and me the general Hecale, and Thanatos were in a large tent thinking of a plan.
"From what I have seen their are no weakness except the front gate which is made of wood but from the hill I sat giant pots of oil o who ever is stupid enough to charge the front gate will be set aflame they try so that is a last resort.
"How about flying we still have some of those flying skeletons left so they could distract them for a while and target their archers." Hecale proposed and it was a good idea that could give us the time to get close and maybe climb the wall.
"Yes I agree the flying skeletons would provide us the necessary advantage to caught them off guard." The general said
"Thanatos will be on the front line and consume the soul of the dead and turn them into revenants" I said and Thanatos grinned as he held his scythe.
"So se agree on the flying skeletons but how about the ground forces?" I asked.
"The flying undead could open the front gate and keep them off the pots but for only a little bit before the destroyed." The general said.
"Hecale can you keep them of the pots?" I asked and she smiled
"Yes it will be an easy task with my new power." She said and I heard Thanatos grumble something.
"Well I think that about wraps everything off so we must prepare for tomorrow." I said as we left the tent and prepared for tomorrow.
location Tartarus 3rd person demon lords castle
"Where is that daughter of mine!" The demon lord yelled as he walked through the castle he demon lord stood at nine feet tall he had large black that pointed up giving him another foot and he had a human like face and his skin was pitch black and his eye glowed a faint red and he had hooves for feet and he had a large battle axe on his back and the other demons cowered in his presence as he walked through the hall to his daughter room and he swung the door open to see she wasn't here and a small winged demon fly up beside him.
"My lord see has been called to be a familiar and the bonds connecting her to Tartarus have disappeared." The demon said and the demon lord stormed out and walked to the scrying room the only place in Tartarus that could view the mortal world the scrying room had a large mirror like pool in the center of the room and he walked towards it and looked in the center of the pool. "Show me my daughter." He said aloud and the pool glowed with a white light as it cleared and it showed his daughter but she was different larger and more powerful and he was looking at her from the back and as she turned to gaze at the moon he saw he large raven wings and he connection to Tartarus was gone so she could not return through normal means.
"Daughter." He yelled loudly but only caused her to look through the pool with hate filled eyes.
"Why are you here?" It was after he said that that he noticed her eyes were different as well.
"You will return to Tartarus as once and resume you duties as my daughter." He ordered and she laughed and looked at him with a smile.
"I don't think so I don't need to do what you say anymore." She said and the demon lord was furies. "I am no longer a mere demon I am a proxy of a god." And now it was his turn to laugh.
"Impossible their no are gods in the mortal world" HE said as he continued to laugh and she lifted her hand and a symbol appeared on her hand and he stopped laughing and looked at it.
"What is that?" He asked.
"It is his mark and the reason you haven't heard of him is because he only recently became a god so he doesn't now about this yet and I will tell him tomorrow before the battle." She said with a smile as the mark disappeared and she put her hand down to her side.
"And what Is he the god of?" He asked.
"Not telling." She said and that made the demon lord more angry. "Well I have things to do so I need to go." She said as she lifted a finger and shot the magic of the scrying pool and shutting it down and the demon lord stormed out of the room to find his adviser. As he walked into the throne room he found them he was wearing a long rode and his short horns poked out of his hood and he had a long staff with a diamond at the top and it pulsed with magical energy and he bowed before his master.
"What is it master." He said.
"Are their any demons near my daughter location?" The demon lord asked.
"Yes he is bound to general Benjamin he is the reason he even became general by killing the competition and no evidence left behind his current name is John." He said.
"Order him to get intel on my daughter new master I have found out he is a god but of what I don't know I want to know everything he can gather." The demon lord said as the adviser staff glowed and he sent the message to the demon and the demon lord left the room and he didn't notice a shadow in the room and it was Cerci and she rubbed her chin.
"A new god wonder who he is." She muttered as she shrugged and left the room as well.
Talion POV
It was morning and I was getting out of my tent and the undead were already gathered and Hecale was walking towards me. "Hey I was meaning to show you this yesterday but I forgot." She said as she lifted her hand and a symbol appeared out of no where.
"What is that?" I asked.
"It is your symbol when you become a each god has their own unique symbol this is yours it will appear on you servants and proxies." She said and I nodded.
"And when you ,eave to take care of the pots I want you take some shadow demons with you we haven't seen what they can do in combat yet so these is a perfect time to do so." I said as 30 to 40 shadow demons crawled out of my shadow and entered her shadow and Phantom appeared at my side.
"You will help lead my forces through the gate once it open." I told phantom and he bowed and walked towards the main force and the flying skeletons were getting ready to take off and Hecale joined them as they readied to take off and she stretched her wings nd she loosened up and her claws extended to their full length to 8 inches and they could easily cut through armor.
"You ready to fight you sure you don't want me to make you some armor?" I asked and she looked at herself and then to me and nodded and a red mist radiated from my hands and it covered Hecale body and it was done she was wearing leather armor and it was enchanted to not restrict her movement and protect against hot and cold conditions such as fire and ice.
"It feels weird it fell like I have nothing on but it is very comfy." She said.
"The feeling of wearing nothing is a side effect of the enchantment that will allow you full movement so you will not be restricted." I said and she nodded but she still looked like it was bothering her but she was content she was comfy in her armor.
"Thanatos you ready." I said and he nodded and I looked to the fortress in front of us.
"Good it looks like the battle begins." I said as Hecale and the skeletons flew off
