The Lich-King shakes his head, and says "I don't think that is within my
powers. But come! There is a battle to witness!"

Kalen and the Lich-King make their way to a balcony overlooking his domain
of Puppetland. Like the rest of the mansion, the balcony is old and
decripit. Dead leaves and vines cover the cracked and chipped white marble
balustrade.

(It doesn't look unlike this:

foliage)

Below is pure pandemonium. Puppet foot-soldiers of the Wizard and the
General clash, brother against brother, as only civil wars can be. The
elite troops of the Wizard, the mighty ghosts overwhelm and possess the
General's puppet foot soldiers, but the elite troops of the General, the
iron soldiers, seem entirely resistant to this possession and know no
fear.

As a result, the Wizard is gaining numbers, but losing ground - rapidly.
The Lich-King shouts out an incantation, and bolts of lightning emanate
from his finger tips, smashing into a neighbouring building which
collapses in the street, blocking the entrance to the mansion.

"That will hold them for a while. These iron soldiers seem very similar to
you, Mostal. How would you fight yourself?"
