The night passes once more leading to Yoruns rise the next day where he heads toward the training area with the rays of the sun barely reaching over the walls to provide its light into the courtyard, Yorun looks around as he heads up towards the area where he and Golanier have made creatures from Ghairlakriars statue of a corpse where he is greeted by the sight of both Golanier and Gira surrounded by material for the creation of the arm.

  "Morning you two, wasn't anticipating you to be here Gira" Yorun said

  "Morning, Golanier here said I could help" Gira said

  "That so?" Yorun asked with a slightly sceptical look at Golanier

  "Indeed, not with the necromancy part of it obviously but with the creation of the arm? One specific area, she can help with designing it properly with the conjurations, she's a healer and has been training at that elven place for a while so she has got pretty good ideas on this sort of thing, course I can do it too but having someone else with the capabilities is better in case my soul gets destroyed or something" Golanier said rather casually

  "Ok fair enough?" Yorun said

  "And she is the best for that at the moment especially since this arm should be made properly unless you want to cut it off again because it got fucked up" Golanier said

  "I get it, regardless thanks in advance Gira" Yorun said before Gira nodded in response

  "So, we just making a normal human arm from these scales and muscle?" Gira asked

  "Essentially, though if anything I was it to be more like Dralocrans forearms, it'll feel odd given they are bigger and with the weight thats been off my upper arm it'll take time to get used to it overall it'll be stronger practically allowing that arm to work as a shield even without the gauntlet designed for a human left arm" Yorun said

  "Guess we can make that work, mind calling that one here so I can see more?" Gira asked

  "I'll do that I was going to get him anyway, he'll be somewhat familiar with what we're doing after all" Golanier said

  Within moments Golanier had teleported away and back with Dralocran in tow, the ancient undead looks at them all and the material.

  "The arm" Dralocran said

  "Correct, glad you quickly figured it out" Yorun said

  "Alright so Gira you look over Dralocran and Yorun you give all but the magic needed to attach the arm you can to myself and Dralocran, our job is to keep you anchored here and to not just die and stay dead when you leave your body" Golanier said

  "And there is the reason I put this off so long, that'll be horrifying to experience" Yorun said as he gave them both all the magic necessary

  "Oh don't worry you've died twice, should be somewhat prepared given the controlled environment" Golanier said with a smirk

  "Yeah that does not make me feel more at ease and you know that" Yorun said

  "Oh I know but how about we get on with it hm? Now to do this you need to separate your soul from your body, similar to how you do when taking over one of the undead but rather than tethering yourself to another body just let go, we'll tether you even though it is essentially just dying you'll be fine" Golanier said as he and Dralocran stood back getting ready

  Yorun exhales as he lays down and closes his eyes, he focusses on his own soul and imagines himself detaching from his body tethering his soul to the air around him despite the fact he can't it's the easiest way for him to visualise what he is doing. With trepidation Yorun untethers his soul from his body, within a second he stops breathing and his eyes shoot open where he is no longer in his own body but rather looking down at it, his mind slowly panics until he feels himself being grabbed by magic which he feels is his own. Yorun can't describe the feeling of being grabbed as a soul by the power of his soul even more so when he feels himself being bound to the land keeping himself from being taken to the Wayrest.

  "God's this is... strange" Yorun said as he looked through his own spectral hands

  "We can't keep you here forever Yorun so you and Gira need to work fast" Golanier said

  "Right, lets do this Gira" Yorun said trying to put the fact that he is staring at his own body

  Gira within moments conjures a proper new forearm for Yoruns left arm modelled after the forearms of Dralocarn, she ensures it is accurate as possible when it comes to the biology and will be able to connect to the still human upper arm, once its done she gives the ok symbol to Yorun who begins to use the remnants of his magic to start making the arm, doing this is the simple part but what feels wrong and makes his soul quake is when the time comes to connect it to his body. Golanier can see the look on Yoruns spectral face that shows the discomfort.

  "Don't think of it as your body just that of another person, first time I did this it felt wrong so trust me I get it. Get past it though, you'll need two working arms to properly do things in the future trust yourself" Golanier said

  Yorun would take a deep breathe here yet he can't due to his lack of lungs as just a soul but he focusses on his body's left arm trying to ignore the face as he begins to manipulate the new forearm and the upper part of his arm to connect, he sees the skin moving and despite the lack of connection between soul and body his soul practically feels the skin crawling. It takes him a little time as he manipulates the upper most scales of the new forearm to cover the connected area more so that it is stronger where connected. The toughest part however is the nerves and overall muscle connections with the finer more important inside parts of the arm being difficult to connect together, to make this easier Yorun uses his incorporeal state to move into the arm seeing inside until everything is perfectly connected though Yorun does note how the upper part of his left arm is certainly weaker due to less use.

  "It's done" Yorun said

  "Good, now for the part that'll feel worse" Golanier said

  "What?" Yorun asked but he wouldn't get an answer as Dralocran and Golanier acted immediately

  Within moments Dralocran and Golanier quickly anchor Yoruns soul to his body once more, Yorun can immediately feel why Golanier said it'd feel worse as the muscles and nerves throughout his body are practically set on fire stemming from what was done to the left arm, the only mercy is that while Yorun is just coming back into the body its functions are still coming back on so the pain is muted yet that won't last long. Yorun instinctually sits up and grabs his left arm normally this would cause more pain yet thats not currently possible and soon enough the pain response is no longer muted as Yorun bites down on something he quickly conjures in his mouth to stop himself screaming.

  "You never mentioned this would happen to him" Gira said as she used healing magic on Yorun in an attempt to alleviate the pain

  "Well we quite literally made a new forearm for him and then manipulated the nerves, muscles and skin of both the natural upper arm and the new forearm to connect them and make them work. What'd you expect? Least he did carve and magic and words into his bones, THAT in addition with this sort of thing is FAR worse" Golanier said

  It takes hours for the pain to subside and even then his entire body though particularly his left arm feels numb as if every part of him was made from a gelatinous substance surrounding melting bricks. Yorun gets rid of the conjuration he was biting down on.

  "Gods that was horrible, I think I'd take the head trauma from Honaril a thousand times over than that again any time soon" Yorun said

  "Yeah hardly a surprise, how's the arm feel?" Golanier asked

  "My entire body is numb but I can feel the weight and I could CERTAINLY feel the pain from that arm, I had anticipated not feeling anything from it like when in the body of an undead" Yorun said

  "Well that was an option however it was better not too, means the arm could fail to work if your magic was interrupted in certain ways, this way essentially makes it a living arm again just like a transplant of other body parts and even limbs works but with an entirely new limb being made for it" Golanier said

  "Noted" Yorun said as he looked to his left arm

  Yorun slowly tries to lift it and he can feel the pain reigniting in his arm as he does this but he needs to see it even with this pain, the weight of the forearm will taking adjusting too however as he looks at it he slowly curls each finger of his scaly clawed hand and smiles despite the pain before letting the arm rest again. Gira puts the arm in a for Yorun so it can stay elevated and relaxed as he moves which helps immediately as he starts to stand on shaky legs.

  "Well you've now technically died a third time, much as there is a part of me that wants to make a joke just go and rest, I can feel your soul crying out for it" Golanier said

  "The prisoners" Yorun said through gritted teeth

  "Later, right now they'll look at you and assume you're in a weakened state giving them the false idea of being in a better bargaining position. Don't let them get that, let them be afraid when the time comes as they'll see that draconic hand as well as everything else they'll have heard from some of the living guards" Golanier said

  "Fair enough, thank you Golanier for all of this" Yorun said as he shambled to his room to rest

  Unbeknownst to him his family watched the entire time desperately wanting to take the opportunity to speak with him or hug him while he was disconnected from his body but knew he had only a limited time yet despite their sadness there they are overjoyed to see what was done worked and that he finally had his arm completed again even with it now looking substantially different to a normal human arm...
