I apologise for the length of this post, but I will not be on at all tommorow and need to get this done. ))
The vampires had gathered outside the fort, the Bloodmoon shining brightly. No starts covered the night, only clouds. Isaac stood ontop a hill, gazing toward the Imperial City. Soon, it would be the new home of his kind.
"Sir?" a voice said, Isaac turning to see two black haired nords walking to him, "My name is Thurdos, and this is my brother, Farus. We were once commanders in the legion army, and would gladly help you control the forces."
Isaac nodded, "Gather a thousand troops, five hundred for both of you. Attack from the sewers, clear it, and then aid us above. We will be taking all the districts surrounding the White gold tower, and then I will personally wipe out anyone inside. Capture any stragglers for cattle, same for cultist. Eradicate ALL of the infected."
The two nords bowed before going to carry out there orders. Isaac looked at his army, who he assumed beleived him as some sort of prophet. There were crossbow wielders, and then there were the silver blade and axe wielders. Sadly, Isaac did not see anyone left in his clan. He let out a sigh, knowing he may of been the last one of Tamriels strongest vampire race.
The Nighthallow were always well trained in weapons, and creating civilisation of there own. They knew how to lead, and how to do so properly. They were ones that could stir up the hearts of anyon, whether it was for the better or for the worst. If the hounds that destroyed Nighthallow Keep could do so in less then two days, Isaac knew that he was going against a rare breed.
Come to think of it, there was a strange colored werewolf, armored as well it seemed. Something he would investigate later.
"Attention!" he shouted, the vampire's silencing themselves to turn and listen to there leader, "We attack now, by the bridge! We shall finish this battle before the night is over. Prepare to charge!"
he said, the vampires beggining to move toward the city's bridge.
Isaac dashed to the front, drawing his silver Dai-Katana as he began to cross the bridge. Howls could be heard coming from the forest on the island, Isaac's eyes catching black furred hounds leaping from the trees and onto the bridge, running at the army.
"Archers!" he shouted, the crossbow wielders leaping onto the arches and sides of the bridge, firing silver arrows into the werewolves as the swordsmen of the vampires continued to move forward. The gates to the Imperial City creeked open, more hounds pouring out. The swordsmen stopped, readying there blades and swinging them in a upward arc as the beast came into range of attack.
Isaac leaped to the front of the gate, decapitating a hounds head from its body as he landed. Many of the beast charged at the vampire, only to have arrows pelt them as they were distracted. Very few of the beast remained to stop the vampires from entering the city.
"Charge! Slaughter all the beast, and gather the cultist for food!" Isaac shouted, "May Lucien guide our blades tonight!"
The vampiric army entered the city, splitting up and attacking the districts. Isaac moved through the city, aiding his forces in the best way he could. He eventaully found himself in the Arcane University, six other vampires with him. The werewolves guarding the entrances to the tower and actual university had yet to notice them.
"We have found the cultist." Isaac said, looking to two of his troops, "You two. Make sure none escape. The rest of you, with me!"
Isaac gestured for the crossbow wielders to shoot the two wolves at the door, while he and the other vampire attacked the two gateways. The werewolves were dispatched easily, not having fed in a long time. The three soldiers gathered near Isaac.
"Sir, it is locked! There is no way in." one said, Isaac scowling.
"We are not mortals. We have abilities far beyond theres! With me!" he turned, running toward one of the gates and then leaping, landing on the other side. He glared at this three troops, them following shortly.
He turned, walking down the steps, into the gardens that the mages used to study in. He knew the place well, for he often came out here during Frostfall and relaxed on the city walls. Now however was not a month of relaxation, but a time of retribution.
He kicked the door to the dorm rooms open, stomping up the stairs to see many awakened cultist looking about wildly.
"All of you are now the property of the Covenant! Get up, and get moving." he barked, one of the cultist standing slowly.
"And who are you to order me? I obey only the god, the rightful ruler of this world, my Lord, Hirc-" in less then two seconds, Isaac leaped across the room and plunged his blade into the cultist body,his hand ripping through the other side.
"I," he whispered darkly, "am your lord now." He pulled his arm out of the body, letting it fall to the ground. Something to feed on later. He slowly turned to look at the other cultist, raising his scarlet blade toward them.
"Does anyone else have anything to say?" he said darkly, "No? Get out of here, NOW."
Isaac had the cultist locked up in the tower for the time, making sure nothing could help them escape.
