Chapter 1: The Nightmare Continues
Lookshy
Chumyo Karal Takeda and the other five members of the General Staff sit atop their dais and listen. Taimyo Karal Saia, Taimyo-yin of The First Field Force, runs her fingers over the table map in front of them. So simple. The land, the sea, even the walls of her beloved Lookshy. All modeled by hand in plaster. Meticulous craftsmanship captures every detail. Except the living dead that sit inside the walls even now.
“Chumyo,” Saia says. “Esteemed Council members. My report is short, as it has been for weeks. The dead have not moved from the spot they broke through the Lookshy Wall at. They sit camped. Motionless. The Juggernaut sits outside our effective range.” She clenches her fist. “They are waiting for something. There is some plan — some…thing they’re hoping happens. They’re just biding their time.”
Chumyo Karal nods. “Yes,” he says. “We agree. Does that conclude your report?”
Saia straightens. “Yes, Chumyo.” She bows and turns to leave. Then, she stops and turns to face the Council again. “No. Permission to speak freely, Chumyo.” A nod gives her the permission she seeks. “We can’t just sit idly by and wait for them to make their move. We have to do something. Let me take a small force of my best Rangers and infiltrate the enemy’s stronghold. At the very least we can gain intelligence. Uncle, let us do this. Maybe we can end it swiftly.”

Gennis and his boys leap from the balcony onto the zombie troops below. They had been told by the boss to create a distraction on this street. This was as good a way as any.
The clang of steel on rusty worm-eaten steel echoes of the ruined building flanking the street. It’s followed by screams and otherworldly hisses as the battle continues.
An abomination saunters down the street toward the fighting. Puss and maggots ooze from it's stitched together parts.
Todora Castle in the Hundred Kingdoms
“Sir,” says the Junior Officer. “This is as many farmers and peasants as I could muster.”
General Kael sets his jaw. He had heard, but it didn’t matter at this point. Across a blood-soaked plain, littered with Todoran bodies, the dead shamble toward their walls. Behind the ghosts and zombies, giant skeletons of dead behemoths stomp toward the city. He shakes his head. “Get them armed and set them on the walls.” The Junior officer leaves to fulfill his orders and General Kael leans on the parapet. “What do we do now?” he asks himself.
The Deep East
Zombies tear strips of flesh off the dead bushmen. Behind them, living bushman warriors battle between jungle trees with the horde of dead. It’s too much. Warrior after warrior falls and is consumed.
Then, a towering half-man, half-raptor crashes through the brush into the undead. He moves with speed and vicious efficiency, systematically tearing the undead soldiers apart. He's a flash of scales as he picks his way through the zombies dispatching each as he goes.
