2024-10-29 19:42:56"Okay with that all done I surrender." Christopher declared closing a satchel and returning it to Alayna.
"Wait he surrenders?" All of the remaining men who were fighting for the Trost clan froze in shock. Whispers immediately began breaking out among everyone trying to piece together his motive.
"Is it a trap?"
"What need would he have to set a trap for us? The man almost single handedly destroyed us!"
"What if it's a trap to get one of the nobles? Are you really okay with that?"
"Fuck better him than me! Besides if they die, they can't punish us anyhow!" Everyone was split, the majority were filled with fear of the repercussions they would face from the nobles or king.
"Chris please don't go through with this. As is the nobles will seek your death, relation or not they will never see you as one of us. If yo- .... You know what never mind. What you just did made it impossible for you to ever be welcomed down here. A meeting with the k

Alayna followed after Christopher in silence contemplating what he could have possibly meant. 'The people who count? That's the nobles! Everything that happens in this city must go through rounds of approval or be backed by a high ranking family!' Alayna couldn't help but wonder if Christopher had finally snapped. His every action was the polar opposite of winning somebody over to their side. He could have over powered Tars and force him to submit, bring him in on his plan. Killing him only ensured half the vampire populist would never side with him.So did Christopher get his meeting with his relatives? Did he get to defend his case? Nope. It played out just as Alayna had said, even when Christopher presented the ring showing he was technically royalty one of men rushed off speaking to a higher up and returned only to order Christopher be locked away in their dungeon."Oooh Don't worry I will keep her on a leash you say...

"WHAAAT!?" A voice boomed through a manor in the City of Darkness, shaking the halls and the nerves of the men in the room."I-I- I said y-your eldest son.. I-Is dead my lord... Killed by the human he was tracking." The soldier gave the man his response unwilling to meet his eyes. The lord in question was none other then Lord Ventriel Trost. Head of the Trost family, Tars and Berek's father. Lord Trost glared at the soldier, his ruby red eyes burning with rage.'It can't be! It can't be! No human could have killed my son! It's a lie!'His mind was a hurricane of thoughts trying to deny the truth that was being laid out right in front of him...!!!"There's no way my son died fighting a human.""I-I'm sorry my lord, but it's true t-they fought and t-the human attacked him with some fire magic when Lord Tars let his guard down! A-And-""RAAAAH!!" Ventriel ripped his sword from it's sheath."My lord please I- AAAAGH!! AAAAH!

"Your highness he's a human, He should have been dead the moment he stepped into The Darkness! I understand he's some form of distant relative, but he's killed our kind when we went to escort him into the city! Is that really the sort of man we should be welcoming with open arms? For all we know he's here to stir problems, abuse his position. Perhaps even to assassinate you your majesty! Now I don't know about any of you, but the risk exceeds the worth!""I agree with Lord Trost. If he would have come down here peacefully I would open with with open arms. But this? He not only murdered Tars in cold blood, but he managed to take multiple other of our children by surprise! How many nobles and retainers were murdered just the other day?""They're right your highness. Who's to say he will stop there? Who's to say he's not coming for your very life! We don't know what schemes that human bastard may have up his sleeve after we opened our doors, and our arms welco

A silhouette began taking shape as all of the magic particles began forming together. When the particles began to dim standing in front of them was a woman with pale/tan skin with black spots mixed in, her eyes darker than a moonless night, her pupils a lightning blue and black. Upon seeing her form everyone present lowered themselves even more, making their bodies almost hug the ground as though trying to take cover from gunfire shooting over their heads. Their foreheads not just touching the ground, but smashed into it."Great Marte-""No.. It's Alesia now. Did I not say that the last time I appeared before you? Has your memories faded so or are you trying your best to offend me?" She demanded her eyes sweeping over the room as cold as ice."We would never! We still revere the great maker! Others may not recognize or remember your true beauty, but we will never forget!" Almost each vampire present was an elder and had bore witness to Alesia before though it ha

Elsewhere in the Darkness."Seriously?""It must be a mistake." Gabreldi and Mikayla found themselves standing in front of two individuals they never would have dreamed of meeting. If Christopher and his group hadn't decimated their group in such a one sided manner, and told the pair where to take their people he wouldn't have believed his eyes for a moment. Prior to meeting the man, he never would've believed the truth that lay before their very own eyes."He did say he had allies down here, but I never would've imagined." Gabreldi muttered finding himself flabbergasted."Am I the only one feeling this plan may be less crazy then we first anticipated?" Mikayla mumbled."You must be some of the new friends Elise told us about." One of the people standing before them greeted the pair with a smile."I wouldn't quite say friends but we're at least on the same side it would seem." Gabreldi groaned. "I'll never befriend such a pervert.""F

Alesia bid farewell to Markous's court... Well saying she bid them farewell is an extremely polite way of saying she told each and every person there to get fucked while holding up both her middle fingers swinging them around the room for everyone to see nodding her head as she began fading away.'Isn't she supposed to be a goddess? Who does that?' Nerissa sighed shaking her head at the rather immature yet appropriate reaction. It's like having an angry employee who got fired under bullshit circumstances stumbling across the stores microphone, or a bullhorn departing with a great big kiss my ass speech.Everyone present had been completely unable to hide their shock at Alesia's declaration of Christopher being Havoc. Even Brock half recoiled hearing this, but was among the first to recover from the revelation."Father knowing who he truly is, do you still intend to carry this out? He's your family and one of the greatest warriors the world has known for thousand

Ventriel hadn't even allotted his people to time to assemble an escort for him, nor had he even declared his destination. The soldier who had carried the satchel stood bewildered for a moment completely at a loss as to what his lord could've been speaking of.'Well it's far above my paygrade to be questioning Lord Trost.' The man thought to himself. While clueless to Ventriel's actions he had received orders, and he would follow them. 'I don't know what's going through his head, but I do know what would happen if I were to disobey my lord.' He hefted the satchel containing Berek and began lugging it from the room heading back to the Trost mansion where they would have an abundance of blood stored away in the basement, enough for Berek to completely regenerate.Ventriel was stomping through the streets, to any man present with a lick of common sense could see he was a hurricane taken humanoid form, you could almost see the storm clouds br

PresentThroughout the years of his long life Ventriel has been allowed to witness many things, different kinds of creatures, different kinds of people, cities and the various ways they lived, different cultures. all kinds of magic both magnificent and horrifying. So let this paint a picture for saying what lay before him was on a completely different level that shook him to the core."W-What kind of monster could do such a thing." Ventriel mumbled, his lip trembling at the horrors unfolding in front of him. Lining the walls, even the ceiling of the dungeon were the actual guards of the dungeon. Christopher said they were dead, which was to say not entirely accurate, the correct phrasing would be to say they're dying. Slowly.... Horribly slowly. A massive magic circle was etched throughout the dungeon, sprawling from the ground, to the walls, to the ceiling, both the hall he was standing in and several cells. The circle was glowing red in the center and it pulsed

"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.

"E-Elise if you think you can do better, by all means t-take over!" He snapped back.Thunk! Thunk!"Well look Riggy.. I don't mean to be pushy... BUT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FUCKING KILL US!"

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,
