2021-01-11 19:54:33While Christopher was extremely relieved that Brianna had escaped he could not let his guard down yet. There was multiple times he had to duck or hide somewhere as the soldiers ransacked their village. He would pass houses and could hear things being smashed, or the soldiers getting excited about something they had found. It wasn't long until he reached his home only to discover that it was empty. Filled with fear and panic he looked around the house only to discover that there was no signs of a struggle, no blood, most of all no bodies. Christopher was both happy and terrified. It is always the things we do not know that we fear the most.
"Well come on then you god damn cowards!" Christopher could hear his fathers voice accompanied by weapons clashing. Chris ran outside, his mother was being shielded by his father who was holding his sword out front of him. There was already the bodies of five soldiers around him, although anyone could see he was beginning to tire and had mu

'No no no no no!' He thought to himself. It Felt as if someone was stabbing him in the heart as he remembered everything that had happened."Aaah I See you're awake." A middle aged woman was sitting in a chair a couple of feet from the bed. " You have been asleep for about a week now." It took some time for Chris to grapple with those words. When his consciousness came to it felt as if it had only been hours, Even when he thought back about how long his mind was dark it sure did not feel possible for a week to have passed. As they let Brianna sleep the woman filled Christopher in on the situation. His Village had been burned to the ground, most the populace was either dead or taken as slaves. Very few had been lucky enough to make it out alive. Some lucky people had managed to escape with their families and made it to the next town and notified the military. They did not even begin to mobilize until half a day later, regardless with how close their village was. It was a

Present day.Sarah stood stunned. Her face was pale even though she had nothing to do with the story Elise just told her. she could not stop the feelings of guilt in her stomach. She had never heard of such things happening!? It was one of the nobles belonging to her country, yet she never was made aware. Although it was a very bitter pill to swallow Sarah could not bring herself to doubt the story she just heard. Elise would have no reason to lie to her about such a thing, In these circumstances Sarah and her group were almost completely dependent on Chris and Elise's help, there was nothing to gain from her lying and most of all no reason to. In the very short time she knew Elise she could feel she was an honest person.Sarah swallowed her saliva. " So that is why he hates the Empire so much?"Elise nod her head. " That is part of it. another part is what you heard earlier at the fire, but even then that is not all of the story. Before you ask, I will tell you

The next morning saying there was tension in the air was clearly an under statement. Braum could confidently say that he hate everything about Christopher. For as long as he could remember he was in charge. At a young age fresh out of the academy he was promoted to a position of command. He had everything it took to reach the position, he had established himself in both academics and combat, on top of it all he was from a long line of nobles that had a sterling reputation. To bluntly put it having a completely uncooperative and hostile entity around was eating away at him. The princess had always taken his advice to heart. She would never brush him off or scold him especially in front of others. Braum wanted Christopher gone and control of his life back."Excuse me sir, you are to continue to the City of Eternity correct ?" Braum approached the captain of the Mercenaries. Normally Braum would look down on these types of people who lacked loyalty but today he would

A few hours had passed since the group turned north east and Thomas sat down next to Chris and whispered."Hey Chris we are definitely being followed.""Yea I noticed them a while ago. Although at this point it seems like they aren't even trying to hide their presence anymore." The first time Chris noticed them the man he saw had done a pretty good job hiding in some bushes up on top of a hill, now though there was a group of four sitting on horses watching them out in the open."I think it's safe to say either these people have found their balls or there definitely is more of them and they're feeling quite confident in their numbers." Chris smirked."What do you say we go introduce ourselves?" Thomas said with a big smile."Naah its tempting but I don't want them to get scared and second guess themselves. When we say hello I also want it to be a firm goodbye."Braum and Sarah watched Thomas and Christopher's exchange, although they di

"Right we will attack tomorrow morning then before they have time to wake up!" Dalton called out charismatically."YEAAA!" Cheered his men. Any who were tired were stirred back awake by the idea of their pending victory, and getting in the good graces of Lord Dalton. If they were being honest more so about being able to get a full nights sleep and get home to their own beds. Daltons right hand man stood next to him looking down the hill at Christopher's small camp and smiled."I can feel the excitement of the men. We will make quick work of them tomorrow morning and your honor will be restored!"Dalton was beaming with self approval. His fool of a brother may have tarnished their name but he will be the one to restore it. He was already fantasizing of how the short battle would play out, how he would tie up and find different ways to torture Christopher and any other survivors.

"HEEEK!" A high pitched shriek could be heard on the streets outside of the bar.At this moment a giant of his man fell to his knees letting out a noise completely unthinkable for his character. Upon his knees touching the ground the man in black punched him once and delivered a strong kick to his chest. he slid backwards a few feet and crumpled to the floor unable to breathe and suffering from the pain in his nether regions he hit the floor like a bag of bricks."Well anyone else want to water the dog!?" The man in black called out to everyone in the bar in a challenging manner. In the next moment six men who were friends of the taller man all stood. The man on the floors face was now as red as a tomato, you could see the veins sticking out in his neck and forehead. " What are you waiting for? Kill him!" he half shrieked. The group of friends did not need anymore encouragement and let loose a battle cry and charged at the man some with bare fist, two of them had

"My name is Christopher, we met before a few times during the war."Daniel glanced toward Thomas then back over to Christopher. "It's good to see a familiar face after all this time. I remember sharing some meals with you back then." he smiled."Hey now I think we all need to sit down together and share a drink! This is the first time I've been able to meet someone that knows Chris, I wanna hear what he was like back during or before the war!" Thomas was excited to hear about the past of his good friend who was also a complete mystery to him. It was true while in the company of Christopher he had never met any of his acquaintances, and of course he never... never...spoke of his past. The only times he heard anything was occasionally when Chris was speaking with Elise."Haha any other time I would happily agree but I better get going. It wont be long until the authorities come for me. You they would probably just wiggle their fingers at, me on the other han

After Daniel had a moment of reflection he bid farewell to Christopher and Thomas." I owe you for your help, and I promise I will pay it back." He called out as he jumped onto a horse riding out of the town. For a moment Christopher could only help but wonder if the horse even belonged to Daniel the way he took off on it like a bat out of hell."Hey that's my horse!" A man ran out of the bar chasing after him.'Well guess that answers that question.'Elise followed him out of the bar with a big grin on her face. " I must say you gentlemen know how to show a lady a wonderful evening. fine dining especially I think i saw dirt falling onto my plate. Oh lets not forget the watered down warm alcohol, and last but not least the amazing show... Oh what is a girl to do I just can't stop myself from swooning. Take me now while this feeling remains!""Well I mean if you insist.." Thomas chuckled to himself walking towards Elise with his hands ex

"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!" Elise roared flapping her arms up and down like they were wings.Fwee!As though on cue an arrow zipped between their faces, mere millimeters from giving Mortis a nose piercing he didn't wish for....."S-See not that bad.." He stood his ground glaring back at Elise who could only return his gaze with wild eyed disbelief.Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

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. But by the gods the more I was stuck in the presence of that asshole, the more I want to feed his head to a thousand small animals. Just gotta hope th

"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,
