Dagon walks down the long corridor leading to the special branch of the black fortress. This branch houses the dark Scions and he intended to find out who the strongest among them are. He arrives at a large door made of black iron with ebony details. Dagon pushes open the door easily moving it to see the dark scions doing absolutely nothing in the giant "room". The scions look over to see who had entered their domain.
"Get up you lazy creatures you have 20 minutes to be ready and at the arena don't make me wait." Dagon says with a tone that causes them to immediately scramble to get ready (take a white person and give him Christopher Judge's voice) seeing their reaction he walks off to go to the arena. He notices a throne on the opposite side of the arena. This throne was opposite to Salem's throne he walks over to see Ragnarok the harbinger carved into the black cross on the back of the throne. He steps in front of it and looks at the lions head arm rests. The entire throne is made of a black metal similar to iron but different. He runs his hand over it and wonders why Salem ordered this to be created. Who speaking of which was standing not far away whatching him with a pleased look. Dagon looks at her and says "why did you have a throne created for me?" Salem blushes slightly and looks down "no one ever rewarded your efforts as a hero and honestly I just wanted to give you a gift." Dagon looks at her and removes his helmet to show his handsome features with a long scar over his left eye down to the gum line on his bottom jaw.
"Thank you Salem really. You always did think about me." Dagon says and looks over as a rift opens and Zero steps through "when did you leave" Zero looks at him and tosses a white ring with a ice blue flame on it. Dagon looks down in shock "Zero I'm not going to ask but I will say thank you how you found my armor and weapons I don't know but I'm glad you did anyway the dark Scions should be arriving any minute now will you 2 stay to watch" Salem nods with a happy smile on her face. Zero nods still wearing that mask of his and says "why not it should be amusing." as if on cue the scions arrive in a huge number to see him Salem and Zero standing there. And upon seeing the demon king they drop to one knee and bow "stand Ragnarok has a plan for you all he will explain pretend I am not here" she teleports to her throne and sees a small box and opens it. It holds a ring identical to Dagon's except the ice blue on his is a darker blue with a small green tint to it. With it is a note saying "I always held on to this I made an identicle set of armor to mine but it is made to fit your body the ring is the summoning item just pour your holy magic into it." she smiles and puts the smaller ring on her finger her heart radiating happiness. She sits down and crosses her legs and almost immediately 2 of the other generals appear by her throne. Dagon looks down at the Scions "Alright you lazy slugs you are here to fight in matches against each other to determine who the strongest among you are those that win will be commanders in the new elite infantry or assassin regiments these positions will be given to the top 10 warriors in your ranks the next 100 of you will be the only ones to be in these new regiments there are 300 of you so only 110 will be chosen through one on one fights BEGIN THE FIRST MATCH" two scions step forward and stand in the dark sand and the fights begin.
------------------hours later------------------
The matches conclude with disappointing results with all of them being incompetent fighters and sluggish assassins. Dagon stands and says "All of you did horrible if you expect to get away with not training as a Nightingale assassin or a Nightfire soldier then you are wrong you know who the strongest among you are and the next 100 will divide into 50 each 10 soldiers or assassins to each five commanders in the Nightingale or Nightfire the 50 Nightingale will be given the standard uniform and equipment 4 of the Nightingale commanders will be given Pheonix Nightingale uniforms and the strongest will be given the Black Nightingale uniform the 50 Nightfire soldiers will be given Nightfire footsoldier armor 4 of the commanders will be given Nightfire Centurian armor and the strongest will be given the Nightfire Praetorian armor the new branches will begin construction soon now get out of my sight and begin training until you are physically unable." the Nightfire Nightingale and scions all bow and forming their own groups leave the arena. Dagon sighs in disappointment and says "how can they be called elite when they did that badly." Zero looks at him and says "your standards are too high by normal standards they would have easily crushed Angales's White Paladins who train brutally every day" Dagon sighs again realizing Zero is right he was expecting too much from them. Still for them to be that weak honestly he was expecting better but not much better than they did which disappointed him but that could always be changed. Salem had left to begin construction of the Nightfire and Nightingale branches of the castle. Dagon has already worked out the guardians of the 2 new regiments for the Nightfire legion it will be Nightfire giants for the Nightingale it will be Shades both are near impossible to beat "Zero are preparations finished" Zero nods
"to the Void then"
