One of the most dangerous aspects of the current zombie attack was that the typically mindless horde of undead were moving strategically, thanks to the necromancers who controlled them. It was one thing to fight a mindless monster who only knew how to attack the closest enemy, and entirely another to fight a relentless enemy who could strategize. In many ways, Garrett’s largest headache in trying to plan the defense against Lesrak’s March was figuring out how he was going to eliminate the minds behind the assault. The necromancers typically hid deep within the zombie army, making it incredibly hard to target them from the defensive line, or they embraced a transformation, turning themselves into incredibly powerful undead monstrosities that became even harder to kill.

Now a glimmer of possibility had appeared. Garrett sat on the Dreamer’s Throne, his mind full as he tried to manage the tremendous stream of information coming his direction. His primary focus, however, was still in the Hollow Space where Delrisa the vampire had prostrated herself. He had to confess he didn’t understand exactly what was happening and had assumed the situation would play out very differently. This was the second time an intelligent monster had fallen under his sway, but the first time it had done so willingly. First Isabelle, the Dire Spirit, and now Delrisa, a Lord of the Night. It almost gave Garrett a headache thinking about how he was going to manage the growing crowd of monsters hanging around, but that was a problem for another time. For the moment, he was content to use her to maximum effect, so he focused on his projection in the Hollow Space and gestured for Delrisa to rise.

“If you would truly serve me, I have a mission for you.”

She stood at once, moving so fast her body was a blur, even as the cut on her forehead rapidly closed up, leaving nothing but dried blood behind as a testament to its existence.

“I am ready to serve,” she said, her eyes flaring with multicolored light.

“You will lead Isabelle to find and kill the necromancers controlling the zombie forces,” Garrett said, “focusing on those at the back and working your way toward the defensive line. Kill them as quickly and as quietly as possible. As you do, command any zombies that are uncontrolled to attack the other zombies, or, if that won’t work, send them back to their rest.”

Delrisa nodded, and her figure blurred once more as she darted for the door. She had just made it out into the hall when she stopped, looking right and left with uncertainty. Turning around, she looked almost sheepish.

“My lord, how do I get out of here?”

It took all of Garrett’s self-control not to chuckle, but he pointed down the hall.

“Isabelle will bring you out,” he said.

A moment later, what looked like a sea of hair rushed down the hall, wrapping itself around Delrisa and pulling her out of the Hollow Space. She appeared on a rooftop even as Garrett took control of Isabelle, and together they scanned across the city.
