As Yorun and his group walk through the old streets of what they now know to be a still floating city of the Kai Tamar, they head towards the platform where Ghairlakriar remains and as they approach Ghairlakriars gaze focusses on the undead body of Jinarl, the surprise on her face more than apparent.

"A body remains and more than that its the body of the last chosen, I admit I am surprised and that is a seldom feeling these days. Is it not disrespectful to do this?" Ghairlakriar asked seeming genuine in her question

"It is not, he asked for it himself, his soul remains in Faelerm" Yorun said and Ghairlakriar bears a small smile

"To think a Kai Tamar remains in the realms..." Ghairlakriar said to herself

"Before I accomodate your request Ghairlakriar would you bring us to the Kolakinta Mountain Fortress in the Fiernian Empire? It is our base of operations and we do not know where we are in the realm either plus admittedly a giant dragon such as yourself is a veritable fold mine for one who can raise the dead" Yorun said much to the others surprise but their surprise is cut off from a loud bit of laughter from Ghairlakriar

"Fair enough little human, I shall do so and then whatever awaits me in the afterlife I will greet with open wings" Ghairlakriar said

They all teleport once more onto the back of Ghairlakriar and once more Joolak puts up a barrier to protect them as Ghairlakriar takes flight the wind created by her wings force the city they just left to descend a bit and the ancient magics keeping it floating and defended activate barriers to protect from more of the winds leaving only a little damage to the buildings from Ghairlakriars flight. Ghairlakriar ascends higher and with a burst of magical breath a portal is opens which she flies through, the other end of the portal sends her flying downwards before it closes behind her, far below the Kolakinta Mountain Fortress stands amongst the mountains. Ghairlakriar quickly sends the people in the fortress into a panic but the undead do not react as they feel Yorun's presence, Ghairlakriar flies downward more carefully and lands amongst the mountains her large body casting a shadow over the mountains and the fortress itself, Ghairlakriar positions herself to stay stabs on the mountains. Yorun and the others teleport off of her and look to her.

"My end of the bargain has been paid in full, now it is your turn human" Ghairlakriar said

"That it is, whatever may happen in the Wayrest and then Faelerm I hope you find some kind of peace" Yorun said

"I will for anything is better than endless life" Ghairlakriar said

Yorun walks up to one of Ghairlakriars impossibly sized claws and takes a breathe, Sunhale ushers everyone else away as Yorun concentrates and brings out that aura of death in a small area around himself, he begins to concentrate it within his hand just as he has done for other magics as if making a fireball and soon enough something familiar appears on his hand small black flames. Yorun reaches out and touches Ghairlakriars claw and the result is immediate as Ghairlakriars eyes close and her long neck suddenly drops creating a large gust of wind knocking everyone off their feet, as Ghairlakriars head hangs low they all notice her scales already hardening from her long life harden completely across her body essentially turning her body into a statue held up by the mountains, Yorun sees Ghairlakriars soul leave her body but before it disappears from his sight into the Wayrest he sees her smile at him as a thank you.

"By the gods... She's really gone" Joolak said

"Indeed, now Joolak, you heard my name correct?" Yorun asked

"Yes that Jinarl fellow said it. Yorun, I will say your name to no one I am not one to interfere with a gods chosen and I will get back to my people now" Joolak said

"Know this Joolak, despite what Golanier may say to you, you are no enemy of ours and from what I've seen a caring man scarred by war in a similar way to myself now. If justice is something you seek to bring to this world you're welcome to join" Yorun said and Joolak is taken aback before laughing a little to himself

"To be on the side of a necromancer? Well I can safely say I never anticipated such an offer in my life, I don't think I will take you up on it though, the undead and especially Golaniers presence bring back memories and none of which I wish to remember. Good luck to you Raeknar" Joolak said with a nod of respect before teleporting away

Yorun looks up at the large body of Ghairlakriar as Golanier and Sunhale walk up and stand at his sides.

"Yorun, I know a lot has been revealed and undoubtedly more to be revealed soon with Jinarls body in our ranks now but our army is in a good state to properly attack the Fiernian empire especially with the new undead raised in Joaralta. I will set up a proper map and begin planning moves against our enemy, I'll show you in a few days" Sunhale said before teleporting down into the fortress

"You know, her body can be of use" Golanier said

"I know I told her as much" Yorun said

"You're thinking of raising her body but that's not a good idea for a few reasons, first and foremost her size is a problem not only will it be extremely taxing to raise but she is literally a giant target unbelievably easy to take down, sure the body is powerful and armoured with those hardened scales but such defensive and offensive power is overshadowed by how large a target she is. Anyway the second reason is the body is more useful dead as it is technically" Golanier said much to Yoruns confusion

"What? Explain" Yorun said

"Well first and foremost I've definitely talked about modifying our undead before but with our magic we can go a step further with enough material we can basically create a new undead, for example rather than one giant dragon we could have a legion of smaller dragons" Golanier said

"And suffice to say we have the material..." Yorun said looking at Ghairlakriars body

"Correct, though we could also use some of it to make you a new arm, it'll be draconic in nature and look vastly different than your current arm but well it'll be stronger, basically we'll recreate Jinarls arm" Golanier said thinking of all the possibilities

"You really think you can do all of this, the dragons and everything?" Yorun asked

"You'd be making the arm and I am absolutely getting you to make at least one dragon but yes I can, I've done similar things before though never usually dragons as hunting them was always hard enough it was nearly never worth it but with giants? I made scores of smaller soldiers from their bodies quickly recuperating losses in a different way than anyone thought at the time" Golanier said

"Ok fair enough, its been a long day so I'm going to go rest" Yorun said

"Hold on Yorun, other than the dragons and the new arm theres something else we can do for you as well" Golanier said

"Alright I'll bite what is it?" Yorun asked

"Simple, armour" Golanier said before conjuring a blade and striking one of the scales with it not even leaving a scratch

"Dragon scales when hardened are incredible for armour never mind one of her scales, usually nobility pay fortunes for weapons, armour or even furniture made from dragon bodies and specifically the scales. With our magic though manipulating a dead body and specifically hers making some armour for you will be easy plus you'll be far more protected given the fact you've not taken any armour save for that cloak" Golanier said

"Ok point made, we'll deal with that as well, Ghairlakriar has given us a lot in life and now seemingly even more in death" Yorun said as he teleported down to the fortress as he goes to rest

Sunhale continues to plan the war while Golanier prepares the right way to teach Yorun how to do what they discussed all the while in the Warest Ghairlakriars soul stands tall next to her own body.

"Such a strange feeling, seeing my own body before me" Ghairlakriar said looking at it

Jinarl in his skeletal form approaches Ghairlakriars soul, Ghairlakriar recognises the soul having felt it many years prior and more recently when he met with Yorun. Ghairlakriar looks happy to see him though it is a melancholic happiness.

"Jinarl, they spoke true, your soul remains... are there others?" Ghairlakriar asked

"I am the last Kai Tamar soul but my people live on in our legacy, more of my peoples skeletons patrol the afterlife and bring the souls from here to Faelerm, some souls are within them but those are just other people who've died over the years" Jinarl said

"Ah, I cannot believe this, to think there is one other than the gods who is still around whom I knew so long ago" Ghairlakriar said with a smile adoring her face

"Now I should bring you to Faelerm proper, you'll be taken to Dorancia, you've done much in your time to warrant Konlair but over the years during your punishment you have done things of note, talking with the elves and giving them knowledge for example and doing the same for Yorun despite it being for your death in return" Jinarl said

"I am fine with this" Ghairlakriar said

Jinarl holds his hand out and grabs her taking her to Dorancia where she takes flight with a roar happier than she has ever let out as she flies the afterlives skies until the day comes for her to go Artiel and finally have her soul destroyed...
