Maxwell had watched his elemantals as they moved wondering his domain as it slowly expanded. The expansion was rather slow as from what he could tell his territory would expand by a single centimeter at the end of the day but it was something and it's not like he had a list of buildingd he needed space to build.

Not to mention it was nice to be able to enjoy so much color and momevent again well remaining completey still after spending so long having to be constantly moving or ready to move back in the void. He watched his smog centipedes as they seemed to race each other across his territory and his smog grass spiders as they went about blending into the small patches of black grass he had before they invetibly jumped out to scare the smog centipedes as they passed by.

He couldn't see what his smog root hands were doing as they were doing it underground but he could feel a connection to them and could tell they were doing alright which was good enough for him. So Maxwell could say for the moment his kingdom was doing well for itself even if his kingdoms total size was only little more than a foot in diameter with its only citizens being undead grass elemantals.

Then all of sudden his the peace of his domain was broken and the smog that constantly tossed and turned as it shrouded his kingdom and it's borders was broken as five small green pixies broke through into his domain.They were two inches tall and covered in some strange armor that was made entirely out of bugs they had killed he could tell from the insect skull shoulder pads that still had hole from where they had been ran through. They also wielded what appeared to be grass spears.

For a long moment neither side did anything merely staring at eachothet as Maxwell was shocked at the sudden intrusion to his domain while the grass pixies were horrified at what was being done the grass around them by the black smog. Though neither side knew what the other side was thinking as would be made apparent later.

This uneasy peace was broken as the smog grass centipedes and spiders sensed the opposing nature of the grass pixies and attacked. The smog centipedes were the one leading the charge against the pixies while the smog spiders followed behind them their spider llike limbs not able to keep up of the centipedes speed.

The five pixies meanwhile made a dive for the nearest black grass. No doubt to use the grass to their advantage on the coming confrontation with the smog grass elementals. Maxwell seeing the battle about to unfold and having no feud with the strange new pixies as well as not knowing how well his smog grass elementals would do in the fight gave the order to stand down.

Maxwell through the power that gave the smog grass elemantals life and form was connected to them and so could command them in an instant as he procceed to do. " Hold your position!" He demanded the smog grass spiders well at the same time he gave a different order to the smog grass centipedes. " Circle the Interlopers but do not engage until we know their intent." Maxwell said to the grass centipedes.

Stolen story; please report.

He was about to try and make contact with the pixies when it occured to him. " I don't think I can talk." Maxwell said through his strange necrotic smog network realizing that in order to figure out the actual intentions of the pixies and reach some type of agreement. The main reason he realized he couldn't speak to the fairies was that his mouth lacked lungs and was effectively a gate as he was now a building.

So if he couldn't speak to them he would have his undead speak to them for him. After Maxwell had this idea he came to his second realization the only three undead he had access to couldn't talk any better then he could. As far as Maxwell could tell his three smog grass elementals had zero speaking capacity.

So as the pixies hid in one of Maxwell small grass patches while his grass centipedes circling them he tried to figure out to communicate with them. Maxwell thought on the matter thinking on any method of communication he could try and coming up short for one that would work.

If he tried to write something and give it to them he has no reason to believe the faires could read the labguyod whatever he wrote. He count mime as he was skull and his creations were no were near flexible enough to try something like that as their current shapes were a part of the reason they were alive.

So with no way to communicate and not wanting to start some type of war with the fairy's Maxwell was left at impasse on how exactly to handle the situation. Then he recalled that he could use the smog to solve his problem he could simply reshape to present whatever he was trying to get across. But then Maxwell figure out with the fairies hiding themselves in the black grass they wouldn't see his smog clouds as they formed his images.

Though the smog could still help him communicate with the five fairies in his land. Maxwell though now figuring the best way to communicate would be to connect them through his smog. So that he and the fairies could speak to each other directly mind to mind. So once again took control of the stream of smog coming out of his eye sockets and redirected some of it towards the five pixies.

This caused a small flood if black smog to move towards the pixies. This apparently caused them to panic as they immediately left their patch of black grass by some how using the grass to catapult themselves over his smog grass centipedes and close to the border that separated his lands from the fairy forest lands.

His centipedes went to pursue and Maxwell was to shocked out the fact the pixies launched themselves like boulders from a catapult to order them to stop. Though luckily for the pixies their heads start allowed them to pass through the wall of smog and back into their side of the border causing his grass centipedes to break off their pursuit.

" While that could have gone better." Maxwell said to himself as his smog grass elementals went back to what they were doing before the pixies arrival. Maxwell decide it would probably be good to have his grass centipedes payroll his borders know that he knew his neighbors were checking him out though how they felt about him he was t sure.

Though considering he was an undead skull that was classified as an undead construct that was slowly turning the land around him into a dark place where more undead elementals could be born it was probably safe to say his nature and fairy neighbors were not happy with him. Yea he was really gonna have to figure out how to increase the rate at which his domain increased because his going to want more land between his skull and the neighbors that wanted to break it.
