“Of course, let's head over to Chekera's.” you reply, your daughter “YAY!”ing and skipping ahead. You hold out a hand to your wife, who smiles and takes your left in her right as you both follow her. You are Chilli, son of Karn, Reaper of Lord Jergal, Crystal Sage, husband to Megumin, and father of Meloka Wolbach and Kazuburo. Your daughter, who is nearly four years old is almost ready to start her first year of school. And, with her starting school, she needs to get fitted for her first school uniform. So, you all as a family head over to Chekera's, the greatest(and only) tailor among the Crimson Demon Clan. His shop's open, your daughter rushing to the door but waiting on the rest of you to catch up before opening it.
“Greetings, Meloka Wolbach! Megumin, Chilli, Kazuburo, good afternoon! What can I do you for today?” he asks, looking back and forth across you all. “Are we here for armor, something flashier for the young lad's birthday tomorrow, or are we getting a certain someone fitted for their school attire?”
“I'm getting my school uniform!” Meloka Wolbach exclaims excitedly, bouncing up and down as the elderly tailor smiles wistfully. “I'm gonna go to school!”
“Ahh, yes, I remember my time in the Red Prison fondly.” the older Crimson Demon Archwizard says, shaking his head after a moment and returning his focus to your daughter. “Very well, let's get you measured.”
“Yaaaaaaaay!” she exclaims, rushing over to where he points. But as he does, suddenly you sense something...<span class="mu-i">Wrong</span>. Suddenly, from the firing field on the other side of your home, you sense one, two, no. Three magical signatures radiating with undead power. One of the three is far, FAR more powerful than anything you've felt from any being on this world before, it actually making you feel slightly nervous.
“Chilli? Everything okay hun?” your wife asks, you turning to see her looking worriedly at you. Kazuburo, however, is also looking out towards that presence you can sense, a second later the town's warning system starts blaring.
“WARNING! IMMENSE UNDEAD PRESENCE DETECTED!” comes the automated voice, you immediately going to the door. But before you rush out, you turn back, giving your daughter an apologetic smile.
“Get fitted kiddo, I should be finished with this and back before he's got you suited up.” you tell her, Meloka Wolbach looking a little disappointed. But you can't spend any more time, as the two powerful undead magic signatures have already summoned thousands more. This needs to be stopped, immediately.
