the scorpion sits in the field in her human form. However as you come close she turns her head and look directly to you.

 

"Youre coming about that call right..........The one i heard through my connection with dad.......Where are we going?"

[Armoured Priest]

"Yep, looks like we're going to mexico, a mountain range there to be precise, not sure what we're getting though." He shrugged. "Where is Dekalon by the way? Last time I was awake he was still in North America....I think." He asked her unsure of himself still, curious as to the whereabouts of one of his patriarch siblings.

[Thugren]

hes in egypt....Escorting the necromancer .."

 

she says simply, standing with a sigh.

 

"He is just waking up from his psychosis."

[Armoured Priest]

"Wow, in Egypt? And Varkanis is awake? Things must be more fucked than I though." Ghiest said as his mandibles clicked. He looked back down to Lessa. "Sure you want to go with us? Thought you had a tribe you were looking out for here in the valley?" He asked, remembering what she had said earlier to them when they first meet before finding Scourge up in the mountain.

[Thugren]

the small female thinks for a long time before answering.

 

"My tribe will be fine...But if my father and the others are going to be moving ..Im going to lend my help."

 

she stands and pulls on a humans dress.

 

"YOu all are going to need the help."

[Armoured Priest]

Ghiest nodded his rectangular head in agreement, unable to form a smile with his mandibles of his normal form. "Alright, sounds fine to me. Hell, be a good idea to have someone who has some idea of current events going on to be with us. So let's go little niece, and maybe we'll all get a family reunion going. They're never really all that great but hey, might be fun at least." Ghiest chuckled with harsh hisses as he slithered back to the other three with Lessa.

[Thugren]

she nods and as you walk you see aracnus is up, beside him is the corcodile, and atop his head is the tiny grub.

 

"its gonna be a long trip...you guys ready to head out?"

[Armoured Priest]

"As ready as we'll ever be." Ghiest shrugged his shoulders, all four of them, in response to the question. Not like they had anything else planned to do, besides murdering that buffalo that escaped him. He will get it one day, and he will enjoy buffalo steak! Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts first, he wast he first to go ahead and start slithering the way they needed to go to Mexico. 'Oh what a grand fucking place...' he thought to himself, wondering just how densely packed with ghouls it must be this day in age.

[Thugren]

the group moves , and with much reluctnace you walkj toward mexico.....Where beefalos arent that damn smart.

 

 

YOu walk for months until you get to the deserts of texas, and soon the derelict walls of thep ost inceptions containment walls loom ahead. Arachnus stops as they come intoview and he chuckles.

 

"They thought walls would stop a disease that swallowed them whole...Fools."

[Armoured Priest]

"And they still kept building walls, those sanctuaries, guess some shit doesn't change even after centuries." Ghiest hissed as he looked at the looming obstacle ahead. Felt like there was a metaphorical or philosophical point to be made here about humans and their need to build walls, but right now this omniarch was in too much of a sour mood to say anything coherent about humans at the moment. "Come on, lets see if there's a breach or something we can get through, otherwise I'll just dig a tunnel for all of us to use." he told them before slithering forward. Not like they had the time to waste anymore, not when mother needed them.

[Thugren]

you come to a massive fissuer, just enough to get through but the issue is the absolute darkness of the inner wall. Inside you can hear old ghouls, poor souls caught there since the days of inception milling about and hissing at one another as arachnus huffs.

 

"Well this is gonna suck.."

[Armoured Priest]

"How long have the stupid bastards been stuck there?" Ghiest hissed, listening to the sound of undead living with in the wall itself. While it seemed like they found a way to get through the wall, it was filled with who knows how many ghouls or kinds of ghouls. And with the grub with them, they can't exactly afford to be careless, let alone get overwhelmed here. "It's going to get bloody real quick, there's no two ways about that....I'm not even sure if our normal forms can fit in there even if the hole is big enough for us to enter." He thought out loud as he went over the possible problems. "Guess you and I will go in first Arachnus, then lessa and Abathur with the grub. hopefully finding a way out will be just as convenient as finding the way in." he said as he slithered forward first, testing to see if a horde of ghouls would pour out to meet them first.

[Thugren]

arachnus grabs one side of the great tear, and with a furious wrench he shears away a large sheet of iron, letting the sunlinght pour in. The affect is immediate. Hundreds of ghouls pour out, but most are so weak and emaciated they can barely gnaw annoyingly at your leg.

 

"not as bad as we thought.."

 

arachnus says as he is gnawed on.

 

"It looks like we can go right or left....we could be wandering for days if we make the wrong choice..Or until i trear through the wall

[Armoured Priest]

"Huh....was expecting something a lot worse....going to keep that concern still." He hissed, almost disappointed at the ghouls, flicking them off with scything talons since they weren't even worth the time killing. "You can either tear a hole or I can blow one up, so we got options. And I'm not splitting us up, that's a stupid thing to do." He quickly said, wanting to cut off any possibility of that idea to form in anyone else's mind, as he thought of were or what they should do. "Fuck it, lets go left, see if we can't find another hole to get out." he suggested.

[Thugren]

arachnus nods but stops, going to the far wall and slams his claws into the wall, makign the entire area resonate with a loud gong, waking up the grub who whines in annoyance.

 

"what the hell arach!"

he whines as the omniarch huffs.

 

"This thing is too tough to break through.."

[Armoured Priest]

"Well the hole making option is bust, better hope we can find another way out. If we're lucky, the humans would have probably left some sort of way to get out of the wall on the the otherside for one reason or another. Just got to find it." Sethis said, let down by the fact the humans made something durable for once. Of course one of the few times they can do something right, it's impeding them in a terrible way. "Come on, lets get to walking, or slithering, and get out of this would-be ghoul nest." he said as he began to move again.

[Thugren]

arachnus walks at the front and you walk for several hours, until you get to a large wall. It is massive and damage, but its held. 

"much better."

arachnus growls in releif.

 

"SHutter steel is easy to shear though."

 

he looks at gheist with a smile.

 

"should we be careful and open it like a human would? or just blow the door open."

[Armoured Priest]

"If we didn't have a squishy grub or someone's daughter I'd go with blowing it open. Let's just get it the old fashioned way so we don't cause a bunch of metal to fall on us eh?" Ghiest said as he slithered up to the door with arachnus, sliding his talons under the door to help lift it up with his omniarch brother.

[Thugren]

arachnus reaches under, as delicately as he can with his big , meaty , claws, and he hoists the door up, bathing the interior in harsh sunlight.

 

 

In all directions, ghouls, tanks, wrecks , and relics from the old world can be seen, a remannat of the end ofdays.

 

"It mustve gotten bac here too"
 

the grub pipes up as he looks around.

 

"Its insane to see all this."

[Armoured Priest]

"Eh, makes me feel.....old." Sethis hissed as he looked at the ancient scene with an almost melacholy feeling in his mind. Before his hibernation, he could have swore this only happened years before he was born. Now it's just a place of wrecks turning into dust with ghouls rummaging through the remains like it was just another dead carcass. Sethis just shook his bulbous head. "Come on, we're not on a sight seeing trip, got a job to do for mother." he hissed to them as he slithered out into the sun baked land.
