The night after Kelinrasks terms were set passes calmly both in the fortress and in Kelinrask itself much to it's citizens surprise although they remain cautious of the daunting emotionless undead that now patrol the city's streets. Yorun slowly awakens, a body aching despite major actions being done with another body, he slowly opens his eyes and with waking eyes he sees his wife and children in ghost-like form but as his brain quickly wakes and his eyes shoot open from the shock they disappear and he sits up holding his hand to his face.

"Starting to go crazy aren't I?" Yorun said to himself before sighing and getting up teleporting new clothes and the cloak on himself while doing so

Yorun leaves the room still feeling as if he is being watched even as he heads to the war room where he is greeted by Sunhale.

"Morning Yorun" Sunhale said

"Morning, half expected you to still be looking around Kelinrask" Yorun said

"Got the information I needed, posed as a random citizen worried about what may happen if the ships weren't good enough for your army so I could get a good idea on the ships current condition at least of those we would use" Sunhale said

"And the consensus?" Yorun asked

"Turns out they have a good few ships of which we'd use, they have at least two dozen but half of them are needing major repairs given parts of the city's wall launched by your attack crashed into them so they sank fairly quickly but are salvageable, they just need time to fix those then we have a small but hopefully efficient fleet which can carry about twenty thousand" Sunhale said

"That is almost all of the army, discounting the soldiers at the borders as well as the giant and dragons" Yorun said

"Indeed, we just need to give them time to repair the ships which should take a number of weeks" Sunhale said

"Then it's a good thing we have something to make during that time" Golanier said as he stepped into the room

"What do you mean?" Yorun asked as both he and Sunhale looked to Golanier

"You put yourself in a fair bit of danger Yorun, both in the siege and immediately after particularly around that Koraz fellow. Forget something we were going to make to mitigate such dangers?" Golanier asked in an almost sarcastic way which makes Yorun facepalm after a moment to think

"The armour made from Ghairlakriars body... I completely disregarded making it before the siege" Yorun said

"Correct, admittedly it was a good idea given what we experienced there we know the level of defence these city's will put up and had we waiting longer it is highly likely that Kelinrask would have gotten more soldiers for it's defence and possibly even a god to protect it like future cities will be but now we have time again and you've got some experience in moulding bodies into what you want which obviously you need to make armour" Golanier said

"Alright then, let's go start making that armour then before something comes up that stops us" Yorun said

"Agreed" Golanier said before teleporting up to Ghairlakriars corpse

As they arrive Yorun sees multiple relatively small holes in her body like the kind a small cut would be to him but seems large on her from his point of view, Yorun sees another of her giant scales has been taken from her corpse and placed onto the ground against Ghairlakriars claws.

"So how are we making this armour?" Yorun asked

"Much the same way we made the dragons, conjure armour around yourself or in front of you as if it were on an armour stand and mould the scale with our magic to be the armour. Just don't need organs, veins or anything of the sort" Golanier said

"I'm no expert on armour you know, wouldn't it be better if you made it?" Yorun said

"I can advise on the armour, the kind you might want and whatnot but it's best for you to make it as you can adjust it to your own body easier, determine weight and shape for it making it entirely customised for you" Golanier said

"Alright then what's your idea?" Yorun asked

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

"Go with something akin to the that imperial princes armour, a dragon scale version of plate armour. If it was anything but scales I'd say go for different kinds of armour maybe a more light armour design but if we're using these dragon scales they'll be as protective as plate armour well actually a LOT more protective than plate armour but they'll have the ability to move as if they're say leather armour with some metal on it for protecting more vital areas" Golanier said

"How?" Yorun asked confused

"Simple, our magic lets us mould this shit in the first place, just do it more during a fight but that's only if necessary, these scales are designed to move with muscle movement, contract and expand a bit to match certain movements, they're hardened now but with our magic we can make them essentially younger and less rigid as a result" Golanier said

"Mind at least making a conjuration of that armour for me to try and copy? I saw Helimiral's armour but I'm hardly able to recreate that from memory" Yorun said

"Fair enough" Golanier said

Golanier soon enough conjured the visage of Helimiral before them, the armour large yet sleek as it covers every part of him, with the helmet having only a slit for the eyes to see through adding a slight human feature to the intimidating armour that otherwise show's nothing of the person underneath.

"With armour like this, that cloak and scythe people will be telling myths about you for thousands of years" Golanier said with a smirk but Yorun only rolls his eyes in response

Yorun spends the next few hours conjuring the armour just as Golanier has but around his own body first and once he has the pieces conjured properly as well as their sizes worked out her redoes the conjuration onto a Golanier conjured armour stand for him to keep it ready for when he is going to make it with the scale.

"Really taking the time here huh? Good, best you do so since it will save your life" Golanier said

"Yeah and I've died twice, prefer not to have it happen again" Yorun said getting a small chuckle from Golanier

"I'd rather not have to save you again in such a rush as I did before but then again this armour won't save you from a gods attack" Golanier said

"I know but a little levity does the soul some good" Yorun said

"You remember you're talking to an actual technically disembodied soul right?" Golanier asked with a smirk

"I do sometimes forget given how often you are within your own body" Yorun responded

"Fair enough, think you're ready to try making the armour?" Golanier asked

"Well the conjurations there may as well do the easy part" Yorun said with a small smirk of his own getting a laugh in response

"Yeah maybe the levity is good for the soul. Take more than a day for it though, create some part then put it on see how it feels, we've got weeks until those ships are repaired so take the time to make it properly" Golanier said as he stepped back to watch Yorun work

Yorun then began to carefully craft his armour starting on the first day with the greaves as he plans to start from the ground up, he takes two weeks to properly craft and test how the armour feels yet he makes some revisions during the two weeks so that it feels better in terms of it's weight but finally on an afternoon it is finished including a piece for the missing left forearm for when he gets that new appendage. Yorun steps back to look at the armour upon it's stand.

"It's finally done" Yorun said as he cracks a small smile looking at it

"Well then, what are you waiting for? Put it on, see how it feels with the whole set on and with the cloak over it" Golanier said

Yorun nods and he takes the helmet off the stand looking at it as he takes the cloak off and he puts the helmet on, he then teleports each piece of the armour onto himself feeling the weight increase with each additional piece. Once it's all on Yorun puts the cloak on once more then tests how it feels to walk around, move his arms and how it feels to swing the scythe.

"I can definitely feel the weight but it still feels so pliable despite the toughness" Yorun said as he turned to Golanier who's looking him over

"Gods I wish I had enough dragon scales a thousand years ago to make this armour" Golanier said as he stared at the armour

"Golanier. Focus" Yorun said in an almost annoyed tone

"Right. Sorry. Anyway if the weight feels a bit much then you can use some telekinesis to alleviate the weight but either way it'll train you, one way trains magic to aid with the armour's movement and weight while the other gets your physical skills up even more to mitigate the weight through strength and skill alone" Golanier said

"I'll do the latter but the telekinesis will be done as well in case I need it in a pinch" Yorun said

"Fair enough, either way you're a lot more protected now" Golanier said

Golanier quickly conjured two great swords and slashes them downwards at Yorun not even intending to cut but bring down their weight onto Yorun. Yorun by now trusts Golanier and knows he won't try to legitimately harm him so he lets him do this, the swords connect with Yoruns shoulders and in combination with Golaniers strength they bring Yorun to his knees in seconds yet the armour remains unblemished and though the shock still hurt as it travelled through the armour and Yoruns body, nothing is broken nor is anything bruised.

"Incredible, such armour would be loved the world over by armourers of all kinds, nobles and most importantly warriors. Well done Yorun you've made armour that'll certainly be kept for generations no matter how all this turns out" Golanier said

"I feel incredible in this armour" Yorun said

"As you should, now let's go check in on Sunhale and see how those ship repairs are going" Golanier said as he began to walk to the war room

Yorun stood back for a moment looking around.

"These past weeks I've seen my family more and felt eyes on me ever since that first time, if that is you all. I love you" Yorun said before following Golanier

Unbeknownst to Yorun four figures stand atop Ghairlakriars head, ghostly in their appearance three of them are human while one bears draconic features, they watch him leave as they're happy to have seen him again and glad that his journey continues onward...
