Angus McFife - The Fallen Soul

Into the battle?

Galaxy flew like a missile. Even Ralathor could not hold on to the un-dead unicorn if it ran at full speed.
She ran to the ship and stopped cautiously. I jumped down, opened the door, led her inside, closed it again, and walked over to driving. I immediately turned on all the systems, threw on the drive and took the ship to the air. I headed back to Crail. Suddenly, a request for a connection popped up on the monitor. It was Proletius. I accepted it, and the face of the Commander of the Death Knights appeared in front of me.
"Angus, the Chaos Wizards, went to Dunfermline. The Dark Lord would like you to lead them in the fight against Dundee," he said.
"Dundee is not going to fight," I said without emotion in my voice. "That's what the Forces of Justice and the Questlords of Inverness are for."
"Did you get in, my lord?" he asked, with interest in his voice.
I nodded. "I need to meet Zargothrax in person. Help him plan the next steps. We must reopen the eighteenth dimension of the hell."
"But, sir..." he said quietly. "This can only be done..."
I pulled out a magical crystal of the Goblin King from one of the compartments. Proletius stared in shock at the thing in my hand.
"We have everything we need," I said. "You forget a little, Proletius, that Dundee still trusts me. Except for Ralathor. That bastard seems to suspect betrayal."
"What about Hootsman, my lord?" he asked.
What was I supposed to say to him? I couldn't tell the truth. Proletius was a lousy subversive. I couldn't take too many risks.
"I haven't heard of him since Schiehallion," I said. "Anyway, if he will show up, I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
"I understand," he said. "Shall I then inform Zargothrax of your return to Crail?"
"I would be glad. Let him wait for me in the map room. I will consult more with him on the spot. It's not safe here. We can never know if the enemy is listening," I said. "See you in Crail." With that, I cut off communication. Proletius in my original dimension fought on the side of Dundee.
Here, like me, he was stabbed in the heart with the knife of Evil and fought for Zargothrax. I set the coordinates of Crail and turned on the autopilot. I sighed, stretched out, and walked over to Galaxy, who was quietly standing in the back of the ship in the closed room. I opened the door and walked over to her. I stroked her skull.
"How easy it is for you unicorns…" I said quietly.
She burned me with her eyes. I smiled. She was right. Now I couldn't complain. Not in the middle of a mission...
