Necromancer
To side with these bloodsuckers would be folly. First of all they would not be asking for you to join them, if they didn't feel you were a threat. This means you have the upper hand. Second of all, despite what they claim about your dealings with the infernal plane, you ARE still a necromancer, and as such it is not you who should be taking orders from the dead, it is THEY who should be taking orders from YOU! You're confident that you'll be able to "beat" Hell without losing yourself to it. The assassin did make you think somewhat on your future. You're going to have to be twice as more intimidating than you are if you want to survive, and what you have in store is going to ensure such a thing.
"I shall have to think on it." You say with a non-committal answer.
"Yes, well you don't have too much time to do so. I" The assassin says and leaves with her brethren.
You make your way back to Aftermath and then send a message to Sinthinia that you've got the entire plan. When you explain to her what exactly is going to happen, she's positively having an orgasm at the thought of what she's going to have done to Sesisek in her special torture chamber. Afterwards you begin to make plans of your own.
A few days pass and Sesisek tells you that he has everything ready. He mentions he'll be taking care of Sinthinia personally along with her whole secret service. You'll meet the vampire assassins in a dead forest near Fury.
You send Sinthinia a message that you'll be arriving at Fury to report what Sesisek is planning. She'll be expecting you, but what will actually happen, will be completely different.
When you meet the vampire assassins, you arrive in a "hurried and disheveled" state so that you look like you've been in an attack. They're wondering what's going on.
"They found out about the plan! Someone found out and told Sinthinia and Velzix! I barely survived an ambush! I've definitely made my decision, I'm joining you!"
"And what makes you think our offer still stands?" the female assassin asks
"Because I risked my life to even warn you guys about this! I could've just ran off and left you here waiting for the demon detachment that's on its way now! You also still obviously need all the help you can get to defeat Velzix, and he's only gotten closer to opening up his permanent portal. I still can be of use, I still have vital information that can hamper his goal, but we need to get out of here right now! Take me, or don't, but you have nothing to lose by taking me with you, after all I am currently depleted and hopelessly out numbered by your kind."
The female assassin turns to her fellow vampires and they converse a second before agreeing.
"Very well, we'll take you. I hope for your sake you'll have something of importance to tell Lord Rostov, or you'll find yourself trading one death for another. And you will still have to prove yourself more before we'll make you one of us."
You nod, and contain your smile. The vampire assassin pulls out a black cube like device and presses a few button and you're whisked away to the Vampire Clan secret fortress.
Now to put your plan into action
Suddenly you greatly draw upon the hellish energy of the infernal realm and summon the very souls being tormented there to assist you. Stealing from hell like this is a very dangerous task and you feel very drained, but you manage to maintain your control.
The vampire assassins barely have time to react before the hellfire spirits set them on fire on the inside out as them attempt to enter their soulless shells, looking for a new "home". The short lived screams of the vampires is one of extreme agony, proving that even the undead may feel pain.
"YES! Onward my tormented slaves! There are many corporeal shells for you to inhabit!"
You walk calmly through the Vampire Clan Fortress as the hellfire spirits slaughter the vampires with ease. The screams begin to grow on you. You may be a necromancer, but you think now you have a better understanding of what it means to be a demon. Your thoughts have become steadily more twisted with each passing blood leech death.
Finally you reach Lord Rostov. He looks very regal and dignified even when certain doom awaits him. He says nothing merely attempts to fend off your fiery minions. He does better than his underlings, but ultimately he too is burned to a crisp, putting an end to the vampire clans once and for all.
Now it's just you alone with several of these burning souls still screaming for a host body. You're barely keeping them from attacking you and you begin to dismiss them immediately, sending them back to hell. Except one. One which you have plans for and are going to take the ultimate gamble with.
Letting your guard down you release the spirit from your command which enters inside your body.
You've felt pain before as you've slowly aligned yourself with hell, but none of it has ever compared to this. Your whole inside of your body is literally on fire. You feel the organs in your body rise in temperature, and explode as they burn up. There is no way you should be surviving this, but something else within you has taken control.
Your will and your desire for one. Your unnatural ties to necromantic energy for another.
"NO! I will NOT die like this! YOU are MY servant and I am the master here! I will be master of ALL! You will obey me and cease this behavior instantly!" you bellow, as your vocal cords burn away making your "bellow" sound more like a terrible hissing raspy sound.
You collapse and continue burning and convulsing on the stone floor trying to fight off death and tame this disobedient spirit. After about a day of this, the transformation is complete.
What you are exactly is questionable however. Are you alive? Are you undead? Are you a demon? Perhaps you're all three now.
The tormented hell spirit is still within what's left of your burned body, though you've completely absorbed whatever "free will" it might've had. The pain is still there though somewhat duller. You probably shouldn't be feeling anything given that all your nerves have been destroyed and technically being dead and all, but the powers of hell are known to extend pain even after death. You know it's somehow keeping you alive, but at a heavy duty price obviously.
You get up wracked with pain all over your blackened and smoldering body. If you were a mess before, you're a complete wreck now, but you've gained more power than you ever could've while as a mortal. And you've not only swindled death, but hell as well. You've achieved something even the Great Lich Lord didn't do.
And if all goes as planned you'll achieve ANOTHER thing he didn't do.
But first you'll go check on your new "ally" Sinthinia.
When you leave the Vampire Clan Fortress, you find that Velzix's realm had to put down a very small rebellion. Sesisek seeing that his plan had gone to complete shit when you and the vampires didn't arrive decided he was going to go ahead with it anyway. He and a few thousand foolish mortals that followed him attacked in open revolt. He didn't last long before he was easily put down. You were actually thought to be dead (Which isn't entirely inaccurate) while you were undergoing your new transformation and struggling to survive the process, all the undead that you had under your control slumped back to death again. A few of your acolytes picked up the slack, but given how many undead troops that suddenly dropped, it was still assumed that someone had killed you.
How surprising it was for Sinthinia when you went to meet her in private. The first being to be graced in the presence of your new form. Not surprisingly she didn't recognize you at first, she's even a little unnerved. You like that.
"Ah, lovely Sinthinia you were quite right to choose me as an ally. Even in this new form I would still find it quite a shame to destroy such a beautiful form "
" you? I thought where the fuck have you been and what the hell are you?"
"Hell. Hell's exactly what I am." You hideously laugh.
You proceed to explain the whole story since you feel in a mood to do so. She's very fascinated by the process since even she didn't know it was possible for a mortal to achieve something like this. She seems particularly intrigued by the fact that you're in a lot of pain constantly.
She mentions that Velzix will probably start being more concerned with you, but of course you care not for such matters. You've defeated Death, you've cheated Hell, what's one demon lord?
"I shall have to think on it." You say with a non-committal answer.
"Yes, well you don't have too much time to do so. I" The assassin says and leaves with her brethren.
