"Star-Pelt never mentioned him, no," Flamehowl said. "What resources does he have?"

"That tome you were so interested in is his draft notebook, for instance. He separated Snowmane from Phillip, and returned Phillip from beyond the grave, giving him a new, perfectly normal body. His base is in the middle of nowhere, an inter-dimensional fortress rivaling the Tempest Keep," Vasily began counting.

"Could he find Adalis?" Flamehowl asked.

Vasily looked quizzically at Flamehowl.
"What does she mean to you?"

Alnerigo's gaze snapped to Vasily and focused with the precision of a laser. "Everything."

Number Five smiled again, and held out his hand, "Then follow us, and Lord Nagorm will name his price."

"We are manipulated so easily..."
The death knight was sitting atop his black chair, watching the trio emerge from the dark portal and into the throne chamber.
"You have seen the Croppers, Alnerigo. To you, they are just another kind of enemy, and probably would not have deserved your attention had they not taken her from you. And why would you even know of them?
Yet they may be one of the greatest threat this world has ever known, on par with the Old Ones and the Legion. Their swarm is advancing on us, slowly, draining all the worlds they touch and turning them into nothing but lifeless husks to serve as their hives.
Thus I ask you now - does she mean enough for you to give me a part of your soul, so that I can call you from Beyond to face the Croppers in the Battle That Comes, centuries from now? This is a cruel way to go about this, but I need every able man and woman to stand up to them. You at least have seen what they look like - although, unfortunately, unlike Phillip you have not yet even met a Lieutenant..."

Alnerigo considered the death knight on his throne.
I need more information, first.
"What are these things?" he asked. "Croppers, you said. What is their purpose, how do they work?"

"Short answer - I do not know about their purpose.
Long answer - I have been watching them for more than two decades already, trying to get whatever information I could ever since I first knew of them. If a world has no sentient life, they simply devour all in its wake. Otherwise, they send out agents to turn power-hungry individuals to their side. Traitors recruit traitors, and all become part of the hive. It has begun in our world as well, and we are lucky they leave no world in their wake unchecked.
They are dividing already - still unified by single mindless desire to consume, I am sure, but led by, as of now, seven distinct small groups. Which is good - in the Battle That Comes we will only face a part of them first, having better chances of survival."

Ur'Agahn came to life on Nagorm's neck, the snakes hissing hungrily as the death knight ran his fingers across the coral scales before taking the scepter-like weapon off and handing it to Alnerigo, "Place it against your chest and remove when you think you have given enough."

"What is your definition of enough?" Flamehowl asked. "And what am I giving?"

"I do not have a definition. You are giving a way a part of yourself - since you are doing it willingly, its power increases tenfold compared to what I would have had I taken it by force. Even a little will be enough for me to call you from the grave when I need you. It works in reverse, you will become stronger as well - by way of me sharing a portion of my power with you. Whatever you give will regenerate in time, unless you expend it all before it has a chance.
Thus, I repeat - you give as much as you deem appropriate, as much as her life means to you, as much as how badly you want to find her."

"Very well."
Flamehowl took the scepter, inhaled briefly, then placed it against his chest.

Kali sighed as she observed her pupil; in the time since capturing the female worgen, the training had gone well and seemed to have burrowed deep within her. "
Are you happy here my child?
" Kali asked, and the worgen looked over her shoulder at the undead elf and smiled then turned her attention back to the current task: Sacrifice a young child they had captured earlier in the day.
"
Make sure the blood travels down the right paths my dear; we can use that for more spells afterward.
" Kali said and the worgen nodded as she lifted a blade above the girl's throat.

The three snakes opened their maws and bore ravenously into the elf's flesh, starting to suck out his very soul - without hurriedness, thoroughly.

"Try not to give everything - soulless you will not be you entirely, both metaphysically- and personality-wise," Nagorm said softly.

Flamehowl let it go for another second or two, feeling a large minority of his soul gone, then removed it.
