2024-10-29 19:42:56In the shadows of a dimly lit room two figures were conversing with each other as equals. Concealing their actions, connections, and plans even from their closest of friends and allies.
"MMM!"
"Guess I shouldn't be surprised. That woman has always loathed my family."
"Is this something we should be worried about?"
"I don't believe it will be an issue. Even if she does ally herself to The Black Guard it's still a single city and largely uninhabited territory."
"Hmm even if it's known to be uninhabited that's still a gap of the unknown. Each unexplored acre is another possibility of things impeding our plan."
"I do have some contacts in that area. I've already sent a messenger to them."
"MM!"
"Good.. If you think everything is still within our margin of error then we shall proceed as planned."
One silhouette faded away in the blink of an eye.
"HAHA. This is going to be perfect! I wonder how Aldous will react to this

"Two armies?" Christopher asked surprised. 'Fuck.' To many scenarios were running through his mind at the moment. He originally believed one army could possibly be on the move, but both their intelligence and scouts had nothing to report of any other armies mobilizing, the obvious choices were The Empire and Albrael, but something about the desperation in the man's voice reporting, made that thought sound like a sweet promise whispered in the ear.. "One of them is Albrael's army correct?" "Yes sir. The other is-" A rather fat man sat on a giant ornamental chair laden with Gold, silver, and many different jewels built atop of a platform being hoisted by different species. Hundreds of men were gathered around the make shift platform kneeling with their heads bowed reverently. "HAHA I can't wait! I've never had an Emperor bend a knee to the rose yet!" The man cackled like a power hungry tyrant. Behind him were t

Silence.Everyone was well aware eventually the Army of Albrael would begin moving north towards Helenfel, but everybody was hopeful nobody would be willing to join with Albrael after their corruption and history of deceit was revealed."Guess it's not to surprising. What's more corrupt than religion. So long as it's not led by a god, there simply is no way to stop corruption from spreading. Chances are the pair will be looking to betray the other, but odds are they will likely wait until the war is over. If one has the advantage over the other I would be willing to bet Betrayal would be coming. If they end up even chances are they will uphold whatever their agreement is for the time being biding their time to strike at the other." Cassandra mumbled thinking the situation over.The corrupt siding with corrupt until their foe is vanquished, then turning on each other. Same story since the beginning of time."So this is the part that's going to

"Huh? I just got back!""And?""And?! Well if you really want an And, howabout the last time I tried dragging you there you tortured me half to death!""There is a key word in that sentence I would like you to pick out. DRAGING! And I only tortured you after you tried killing me and refused to give up the name of who ordered it! Besides you acted like a sex starved fiend afterwards. I would have thought I was doing you a favor not punishing you.""It was hot.." Alayna mumbled under her breath her face turning bright red. Sadist, Masochist. Both words could easily be used to described the half mad vampire Depending on the day. "But I was not some sex starved animal!"..."You asked if I was going to violate you! And when I said no you began begging me to fuck you! I remember you dragging by my ankle for an entire city block Pleading for me to and I quote.

Christopher and Alayna stood before the crowd of friends who gathered in front of Cassandra's manor to wish the pair farewell.Christopher sighed a small glimmer of sadness creeping over him. 'This will be the first time in years I will be away from Elise for more than a few days. Though he would miss Elise, he at least had been allowed to spend time with her constantly over the past few years. Where as Brianna, and Cassandra he had not seen in years, Alesia had already taken off someplace with Marielle, and now the moment he is back, once again he is being pulled away. A part of him was happy vengeance was not far off, but at the same time he loved them.. No matter how small the amount of time was away from them, it was painful. He missed them every time."Make sure you come back soon. We are going to need you." Taelin called out. 'By the gods how the situation flipped on it's head. Never thought I would hope for his return. Not that I hold any grudg

"So Taylor what brings all of you here?" Christopher by no means was ungrateful for the assistance the werewolves and others provided, but it was rather surprising. Last he knew they were back in Bael Karinne again, so the last thing he was expecting was to see any familiar faces during their Journey to The City Of Darkness."Hehe. Well I was just minding my own business and having lunch when suddenly my cup of water began having an argument with me! Telling me where you were, and there were people following you that may be trouble and that I needed to get my ass in gear grab a few others and track you down." Taylor announced with a light chuckle glancing towards the water dragon."Thought that dragon looked a little too familiar." Christopher smiled looking over his shoulder. The water dragon moved back towards the river and began losing it's form. "Hello beautiful." Christopher waved as the water completely collapsed back into the river. Behind it a beauty with tanne

"Wow." Christopher himself was close to stunned beyond words. "I may be a little crazy -" Began but was cut off by Elise "You said it." "BUT! Even I can recognize when there is something truly so beautiful, it is worth sharing with others." Alayna continued taking in the sight. "When you see something every day you can quickly forget both how beautiful it is and take it for granted. I can honestly say I never stopped loving this." For once Christopher was completely in agreement with what Alayna had told him in the past. "It's beautiful." Off in the distance there was a vast forest Many different creatures could be seen, a small river flowed through the underground forest. Wood and stone bridges could be seen further off lit up by blazers. As amazing as it was to see an underground forest thriving, what really did the number is everything was glowing vibrant different colors. Some plants and trees were pulsing as if they had their

"I'm telling you Cuddles the man slayer is the perfect nickname for her. If she doesn't kill them with her tiny cute like paw, then she will kill them with cuteness!" "Have you never had a pet before? I have never seen you this excited. We would pass dogs and other animals and you wouldn't even blink at it. Suddenly you find that thing! And you're going ape shit!" "MEWR!" "Shhh don't call her a thing! You're going to hurt her feelings! And for the record you see dogs everywhere. But look! How often do you see something so cute!?" "Well I will give you, they are rare. But let's see how cute you find it when she decides she's hungry." Alayna mumbled. Close by in a darker part of the cavern a pair of eyes were peaking out from behind the rocks. "It's almost time." A man whispered over his shoulder to a small group behind him. Christopher and his group were about to exit a bottleneck in the cavern that was perfect for an

"Now let's find out just how much you and your daughter wish to stay alive!?" Christopher cried out throwing his hands up in a grand manner."Not enough to let her sleep with a human just to save our lives!"Instantly Christopher's hands dropped to his side as he hung his head low. "W-Why does everyone assume that's what I want!?""Because you're a mad man! And you have a nympho and a crazy Vampire bitch with you!""HE-!" Alayna began to roar in anger, but Christopher raised his hand."Don't worry I shall not let his mistaken words stand!" Christopher moved closer the the man.SMACK!"I am not a mad man!"..."A-And? I thought you were going to correct his mistaken words?"..."I did." Christopher stated with a nod of his head. "I told him good didn- HIGUrk!"

"They used siege magic on the rear line?" Alexis asked with a furrowed brow. "Why would they expend so much magic on the rear line?" To Alexis this didn't make any sense. If they were using it as an opener to an attack from the rear, it would definitely be justifiable. Have your men rush in taking advantage of the destroyed lines and chaos. But using siege magic alone and backing off, would be like someone taking a shotgun to kill a spider inside their own house. Beyond overkill. If they had struck the center of their lines, their commanders, or even their supply train, Alexis could understand the expenditure. Most magic users could fling spells they specialized in for a majority of the day. But siege magic? The average mage could use it four times in one day, but be severely weakened for the next couple of days. Sure they could use siege magic again the next day, but each day without a proper recovery time the power of the attack would be cut in half. "Well sir it seems the rear l

Inside Helenfel. "Right here." Cassandra pointed at a section of her map sprawled out on the table. "This will be the perfect place." Andrea walked around the table to stand next to Cassandra looking down on the map. "Hmmm good call. When they emerge here they'll be in a bottleneck." "That's not all. They'll be coming around a corner too. They wont be able to see our army waiting for them until it's too late. We'll also have archers along the cliff tops. that can shoot down on them." "Why not have our archers continue firing down on them the entire stretch? That's miles of cliff ledge we could use to thin them out." Garrett asked retracing the path on the Albrael army was taking. "Because we don't want to give away our archers. The reason we've barely had our men harass them the past day was leading up to this moment. Most of all we don't want them to double back, leaving the kill zone we've set up." "Isn't there a chance they sent men to the top of the cliffs too though?" "We

Multiple days had passed in the City Of Darkness following the surrender/purge of any still resisting dissidents. And life had begun returning to normal little by little after the bodies were removed from the streets. Havoc's army had upheld their orders. Those who surrendered were allowed to return home without any recourse for fighting against their new host. Neither the members of The Black Guard, nor their militia counter parts caused any unnecessary damage, nor did they loot and pillage the city. Frankly apart from the angered nobles who's homes had been bombarded during the siege, the city was peaceful and upbeat. The stalls were open, any artisans were back to their crafts. The children ran and played in the now cleaned streets that had been soaked in blood not long ago. Guards were posted on every wall and street corner. Christopher and the other leaders involved weren't fools. Though they had been merciful, eventually there would be some who would try fighting back. They e

Just a little earlier"This is big! This is really big!" Brisia grinned ear to ear as she paced back and forth hardly able to contain her excitement. Her little walk even leading her up the walls and onto the ceiling dancing, and skipping, somehow defying gravity."Shit! Shit Shit!" Alesia growled through grit teeth. "I knew something was coming, but even I never imagined this!" Alesia's current mood was about as close to polar opposite of Brisia's as it could get. 'This is the last thing we need currently! If they find out, especially in the middle of this war, we're seriously fucked! Like fucked on the level I was when all the other gods betrayed me and had me cast from the heavens! Perhaps even more fucked!'"I still can't believe it! I mean I suppose when you look at his track record it would make sense, but holy shit!" Brisia exclaimed.

Christopher walked to the giant hole in the wall he had created when trying to incinerate Markous looking out over the city breathing a heavy sigh, hanging his head low and shaking it. "What's wrong? At this rate the city is as good as yours? Shouldn't you be happy?" Brisia asked walking up the wall before hanging upside down looking out of the hole too. "See your people are already working on the third gate. Isn't this what you wished for?" "I'll admit.. I wasn't expecting to get that old bastard's approval, but this didn't pan out as I had hoped." He shrugged watching balls of fire rain down upon the noble district from the trebuchets outside the city. "Sooo you didn't want the city?" "Pftt I could give two shits less about the city. I wanted the power that dwelled down here. On that note I suppose you could say this was a success.

"HAHAHA JUSTICE SHALL BE DELIVERED!" Vale cried out as though she were a poor soul who had been denied justice by the courts for far too long.BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!The ground erupted all around both the twins and the behemoth of a Vampire. The girls quickly turned their backs to one another taken by surprise, readying themselves as best they could considering their injuries. Their eyes caught a glimpse of a creature emerging from the earth, and it was almost instant. The pair blinked and by the time their eyes opened the massive beings were already hovering well above their heads."You've got to be shitting me." Lala mumbled."If she could do this, It would've been nice of her to have done something sooner." Laura huffed her arm dangling limp by her side.Though still on edge the twins felt they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The pair took several steps back returning behind their friendly lines.

RAAAWR! A roar ripped through the caverns as the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Many people from both sides of the battle looked around trying to find what kind of ferocious beast could emit such a blood curdling sound. "I haven't heard a roar like that in thousands of years." "I've never heard that kind ever!" Their eyes scanned the surroundings. Looking side to side, up around the cavern ceiling, only to find nothing. The monstrous sound was far to loud for anyone to mistakenly assume they had just imagined it. The rumbling earth began shaking harder and harder although you couldn't physically see any movement, the people could feel the movements underneath their feet from whatever was coming, like a slithering serpent snaking it's way through the grass. It felt as though the very earth beneath their feet may collapse at any moment. If anyone in the vicinity were to claim the gods were angered and unleashing their fury on the city, many wouldn't doubt the w

This day and age when someone says an army they think professional soldiers, fighting and killing is their bread and butter, it's what they train for, it's what they're paid for. Their job consists of nothing besides honing those skills. Training and searching for a way to improve upon the ability to kill, to take the life of another human being. But there's times where an army consists of ordinary people, every day people. Bakers, smiths, teachers, sometimes even the students, people you who have never seen combat, mix these people in with some trained soldiers who're willing to advise and educate these people, and at times these armies can be just as dangerous as the professional ones. When you have a reason to fight, whether it's for a better life, to protect someone, to make a name, for your country, even if for a moment it places you at odds with it, you can become a force that's mighty. With no identifying uniform, the enemy will never know when they're about to strike. A man,
