deep in a far land & Out in the ashen sea a horde of undead cross the uneven ground that their shambling leader paves leaving a usable pass, that of which their leader, a horrid amalgam of bones broken & fused together into one form a monstrosity with legs that bare semblance with spiders and a spine that seemed to be more akin to a serpents,
then mammal and nearing the front the torso looked like a bunch of human and monster skeletons pushed together and melded into one form and its head, being a collation of skulls seemingly looking at all directions,
a crimson stone was imbedded into the front most facing skull with eyes filled with the flames of life and mind, while paving a path for the weak and unstable skeletons that move mindlessly behind it.
the horde was moving with upmost urgency seeming as that their looking for something that only their leader could sense."-I must find a safe place before the sun falls, otherwise I cannot find the materials that master wishes for-" the abomination thought leading them with mindless movement
As the sun started to fall past the horizon, the leader and the horde started to to pick up the pace trying to rush but thanks to all the commotion the horde the ground started to tremble and out bursting from the ground a scorned worm emerged in fevered aggression.

Trying to attacks by coiling around the leaders torso, for the abominations large size making it biggest threat to the worm, it attempts to crush the amalgamation is proved to do something twisting it's ash grey hide, but then the leader started to grasp the worm and pinning it down allowing the horde to dig into its flesh.
as the worm wailed in pain the leader started to press on to the monster squeezing's its hide and the horde digging in to its side getting closer to its heart it started to thrash harder trying to escape with it's life but ultimately it was futile as boney hands grasp as tear at its heart silencing every part of its body.
as the skeletons started to leave the worms lifeless body the ones that reached it's heart seemed... different their bones taking a more ashy grey tone and seemingly more durable and struggle less with movement.
with that tangent aside the horde and the leader started to move toward the worms tunnel the leader partially struggling to get though until it reached a large cavern big enough for it and the horde following behind it reaching a safe place
then after most of the horde is in the hole everything suddenly got blasted by a wave of smoke and fire, destroying the skeletons that weren't fast enough,
