A billion years have passed with millions upon millions of lives being lost with the border as it was a million years before, the war is at a stalemate with both sides making counters towards the unique magics each posses. Keireen stands in his castle looking out over his city, the people he rules over and he smiles knowing that they wouldnt dare try a thing against him. Keireen turns to Ratankira who's walking over with some old reports. Ratankira hands them to Keireen who starts to look over them.
"The old reports of Gheranto and Itimkrata, good this should help" Keireen says as he starts to speed read them
"Onikerm is starting to get restless as he hasnt got anything big to do for a long time" Ratankira says
"Tell him to torture someone, ive been thinking of an idea for him anyway, we still have good access to Reinholm after he got taken there years ago, so my idea involves our way in" Keireen says
"Fair enough" Ratankira says as he walks away to speak to onikerm
Keireen looks at the old reports and looks at the final report.
"As usual their biggest weakness is their care for people, fucking weaklings. If we manage to take multiple people that may mean something to them we could lure them in the next full scale fight bring them to a place where its more even" Keireen thinks to himself
Keireen looks around thinking about the fights with them.
"Itimkrata prefers places that have mountains given she can make them into giant golems, lure them away from there then all she can use is the ground itself, effective but not nearly as dangerous. Gherantos lightning is an entirely different problem, so lets make sure he cant use it. I either have to take him down first or make it impossible for him to use that special lightning" Keireen thinks to himself
Keireen walks to dungeons and sees Ratankira leaving them.
"Ratankira do we have anyone whose main magic is time?" Keireen asks
Ratankira thinks for a minute.
"I believe so, I'd need to check again though, we've lost so many over the years that ill need to check and make sure" Ratankira says
"Then get on it, they could be our way to eliminating Gheranto and itimkrata and potentially Reinlas" Keireen says
Ratankira nods and teleports to his office to look for mages whos main magic is time. Ratankira spends hours searching and finds three people who have it as their magic. Ratankira laughs.
"We have fucking three?! Oh this is perfect" Ratankira thinks to himself
Ratankira takes those files and teleports to one of the houses and knocks on the door.
"Open up!" Ratankira shouts but no one answers
Ratankira kicks the door open and finds a corpse hanging from the roof, the time mage had killed their self.
"Coward" Ratankira says then he looks at soem guards
"Clean this up" Ratankira says then teleports to the next house of a time mage
Ratankira kicks the door open again and finds another body. Ratankira gets annoyed that the time mages seem to be committing suicide rather than wanting to fight. Ratankira doesnt even have this body cleaned up he burns it to ash. Ratankira scans the area of the final time mage and senses they are alive so he quickly uses his mind control on her to force them to stay in their house and do nothing. Ratankira teleports to her.
"Ratankira, I expected this" The woman says
"I expected as much given the other time mages committed suicide" Ratankira says
"I dont plan on doing the same" The woman says
Ratankira scans her mins and stops his mind control.
"Good, now I'm taking you to Keireen for he requires your magic" Ratankira says
"I'd be lying if I said I was honoured" The woman says
"You can get tortured for that" Ratankira says
"I dont care" The woman says to the confusion of Ratankira but he writes it off and teleports to the castle with her
Ratankira shuts her magic doown and hands her to soem guards as he walks into the throne room where Keireen sits with Onikerm at his side. Onikerm smiles.
"is this someone to torture?" Onikerm asks
"Possibly but shes needed" Ratankira says
"Explain" Keireen says
"You asked for a time mage so i searched for the three we had, two killed themselves before i got there and the third well she is behind me and doesnt want to kill herself" Ratankira says
Keireen looks behind Ratankira at the woman and the guards, he motions for them to bring her forward.
"Ill take it you already know what i want you to do?" Keireen asks
"Stop Gheranto from using his lightning" The woman says
"Good, why didnt you kill yourself?" Keireen asks
"Simple, I want to live" The woman says
"Shes not lying even with her time magic she is a terrible liar" Ratankira says
"You are to stay in the castle under constant watch until you are of use to me when I fight Gheranto and Itimkrata, am i understood?" Keireen asks
"I understand completely, King Keireen" The woman says
"Good, No guards will harm you while you stay a good girl in the castle but even try anything without my say so and even with your time magic you wont be able to stop what happens to you" Keireen says
"Understood" The woman says
"Good, guards take her to a room" Keireen orders
The guards take her away. Keireen looks at onikerm.
"You've been getting bored well I have a new project for you. Take your knowledge of poisons and disease everything you can I want to turn Reinholm into a city of death. I want its denizens keeling over in the streets and dying in pain while the panic sets in disrupting their war effort" Keireen says
Onikerm smirks and after a couple seconds hsi insane giggle comes out.
"OH this sounds wonderful, I'll need many test subjects and an expanded test area" Onikerm says
"You'll get the test subjects as usual Onikerm and ill ensure you get a larger area to test this and have it far away from the city, we dont need ourselves getting killed now do we?" Keireen says
"Well never a little harm in dying a little" Onikerm says with an insane laugh as he walks away thinking of how to kill a city of billions...
