Dragonborn Saga

Isha pointed towards a direction and led Jon to a large skeleton of a humanoid that doesn ’t look like any creature one would come across.

”I saw the Gatekeeper out there and the damn thing terrified me.
Will it really work? ” Isha asked.

Jon only nodded.
The [Gatekeeper] is a monster that guards the Gates of Madness that leads to the realm of Sheogorath.
It was created by the ’Flesh Magic ’, a sort of Unholy Magic that creates Flesh Atronachs and many other abominations, however, the [Gatekeeper] is officially the worst.
Created by Relmyna Verenim, a crazy Dark Elf sorceress who is obsessed with Flesh, the [Gatekeeper] is a gigantic creature constructed from an unnerving collection of body parts and covered in metal with a weapon fused to one of its arms.

The Skeleton right in front of Jon right now resembled that ugly creature to a large degree.
It had a scythe fused in the arm area and metal covering the torso and the neck like a collar.

Such an abomination would sure give anyone the creeps.

”The mudcrab said that we need the bones of the previous [Gatekeeper] to defeat the current one but these bones are pretty damn hard.
Even my spear won ’t break them this fast. ” Isha said.

”Seriously? ” Jon was taken aback but [Krilon] his expressions.

”Yeah, well, if it is a moving target then the enchantment will work against it. ”

”Hmmm, no need to waste time with breaking the bones.
We even need to use the bone shards as blades and arrowheads which will take time crafting them, these are good bones too. ” Jon said.

”Good bones?! ” Isha tilted her head.

”I have an idea that might not suit your taste but it will save us time. ” Jon said and cast [Telekinesis] on the bones of the Gatekeeper carrying it in the air and walking back the way they came from.

”Hey, what will you do? Will you toss this skeleton on the Gatekeeper? ” Isha asked.

”… Now that you mention it, it is way simpler than what I thought of. ”

Jon reached the center of the graveyard where tons of bones were piling around after the fight of Isha against the Shambles.
He put down the skeleton of the Gatekeeper and started working.

”What are you doing? ” Isha asked.

”Something awesome… and bad. ”

Jon was focused on his work.
He took off the scythe-like arm examined before nodding and putting it aside.
He then started to examine the bones of the Shambles around and piled up the best bones he could find.
After ten minutes of working as fast as he could, he took out a large Black Soul Gem.

Isha was threatened with the appearance of the Black Soul Gem and looked at Jon while narrowing her eyes.
Mages were known to be mad sometimes and honestly, Jon was quite the figure.
Isha noticed how he can Levitate and use Telepathy which are by no means some simple spells that even a warrior like her have at least heard about but the appearance of a Black Soul Gem meant that Necromancy is involved in the matter.

Jon didn ’t care much about Isha ’s opinion and took out the [Skull of Corruption].
The evil looking staff that had a horned skull on it was indeed something that made Isha feel the presence of a Daedric Artifact like the one she carries and her eyes widened.
Jon didn ’t spare her a glance and started casting a powerful spell using the [Skull of Corruption] and the Black Soul Gem.

The bones around the giant skeleton of the Gatekeeper started to shake and move on their own, they all flew towards the giant skeleton and stuck themselves on it.
More and more bones moved towards it in rapid succession and a foul aura started to swirl around the giant skeleton.
Jon ’s smile grew wider as his success was finally starting to show its signs and the image in his mind started to take form piece by piece.

The spell that he cast was none other than [Necro Construct], a spell that originated from the Cult of Worms that worship the King of Worms, Mannimarco.
The spell was obtained not too long ago by Jon but he didn ’t have any good bones to try it on, this time he found a good material.

During the forming of the Undead he had in mind, he slipped in a ’Magicka Reactor ’ in the skull of the Gatekeeper and also the old metal collar and chains that were part of its previous form.

Was a Bone Colossus? Was it a Bone Atronachs? Jon wasn ’t bothered with the term right now but he couldn ’t let go of the sudden inspiration he got and had to apply it right away.

The Undead creature took its final form and started to stand up.
It was towering and large, almost 4 meters in height.
It was a large humanoid wearing an armor of bones.
As it stood up, it put the air of a fearsome beast that sends shivers to anyone who sees it especially when it extended its hand to hold the Scythe-like blade with the order of Jon.

Its final form was in the shape of an Akaviri Samurai holding a mighty blade.
Isha stepped back and gulped on a dry throat.
She was so shocked to the point that she forgot how to speak.

”I say… rather than carrying the bones of the previous Gatekeeper to the current one, let ’s just make it walk itself. ”
