“Slow down, Cuddles. You’ll get an upset stomach by eating so fast,” Lilixzisilerpicazant said to her companion. Her razorbunny, Cuddles, was going to town on the corpse of the last human defender of Ironloch’s southern transition point.

“My lady, the zone is secure, and the army is ready to move. What are your orders?” one of her lieutenants said.

She had made an effort, despite the constant hunger of her razorbunnies, to keep several of the humanoids in Ironloch alive to serve her. The tribe of trolls she had found in the marshlands caught her eye, and she assigned them as leaders of her various forces. It also helped that if a razorbunny or one of her other creatures took a nibble off of one of them, they regenerated quickly. Only fire or acid could keep a troll down permanently.

Lilixzisilerpicazant—or Lilly, as she preferred to be called—had been skeptical of her annoying brother’s plan. Somehow, he had convinced their parents that the time was right for the Zisilerpicazants to grab a foothold on the surface world. She had to admit, the initial results were promising. Her brother Zipp was even now conquering Bharga’s Crossing with the forces that her parents had gifted him, and over the last few weeks, her army had easily conquered the zone of Ironloch. The previous ruler of the place had stepped down, and the zone was thrown into civil war as various factions vied for control. With any forces that could have opposed her fractured and depleted from the infighting, Lilly emerged from the Hypogean realm and overpowered the feeble opposition that the zone had cobbled together.

She had purposely held off on taking the transition point leading to Hayden’s Knoll to avoid sending the announcement that she was now in charge of Ironloch. With Zipp’s invasion underway, it was time to join her dear brother and take Hayden’s Knoll from the Imperium. With three surface zones under their control, the Zisilerpicazant clan would have the foothold as well as the economic base necessary to continue their conquest of the surface. For too long, the deep denizens of the Hypogean realm had bickered over limited resources when everything they desired was up here on the surface. They had but to reach out their hands and grasp what they wanted.

“Karbo, rally the troops and begin our invasion. The bats will carry across the first waves of the assault. Once we’ve secured the transition point, have them ferry over reinforcements as the deep gnomes repair the bridge,” Lilly ordered, watching as the troll Karbo carried out her wishes.

“Mistress, I have a message for you from the Hypogean realm,” one of the trolls she hadn’t bothered to name said, disturbing her review of the army. There was a lot of fighting still ahead, so she resisted the urge to have him killed for disturbing her.

The troll knelt and held up a scroll with an ornate seal. Lilly plucked the scroll from the troll’s hand, noticing the family crest etched on the seal.
