"Now Chris, did you just say three different women... You-." Chris let out a long sigh ' Saw this coming.'
"Yes I mean I am trying to get a gift for three different women. Not just one. Not just Elise although she is one of the three." He tried to state it As plainly as possible.
'Oh my god. I mean Elise is a given, but does that mean he's interested in Vanessa and myself!?' Sarah's face began turning a bright red as her imagination began to roam.
Chris wasn't sure which part exactly but he could tell some things were being misinterpreted here, but decided to just ignore it.
"So Ahem. So Elise is one of them, so two others.." Christopher nod his head. " Do you have any ideas what you wish to get these girls?"
"I was thinking An earing for Elise, and perhaps a ring and necklace for the other two"
'A ring!? Oh my god could it be he is intending to follow through with his words

As Christopher and Thomas were approaching the rest of their group John and Vanessa saw them first and ran over to them."Chris! Braum kept insisting you and Thomas left!""Sir, Something has happened. I thin-" Chris held up his hand but did not slow his pace."It's ok I got it.""Chirs!" Sarah called out happily. In front of him the group seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.Christopher came to a stop with his arms crossed. "Well seems our little party has grown....A lot." Behind Sarah and the rest sat twenty Imperial Knights on horseback with Braum in the lead. Their armor all bearing the same family crest as him. 'Personal troops huh.'With just a glance anyone could tell these were no common soldiers. They all wore plate armor and carried themselves as abled veterans. One of the men spurred his horse forward and looked down at Christopher with contempt."So you're Christopher? I sent some men to find you. By any chance did yo

The Knight captain turned just in time to see the eyes of the one he thought was nothing but a useless coward and a blade cutting into his neck. 'What a fool I was' The eyes as cold as death himself.The men standing next to their captain were covered in the spray of his blood. There was no scream no resistance. In the blink of an eye the man they obeyed and looked up to was gone. His head flew through the air a look of horror Stuck to his face forever. Although being seasoned veterans their reaction was just a moment to slow. Christopher ignited Hate and was already mid swing with it. The black arch cut through the air and Then hit the men in front of it. There was a moment of resistance then it immediately split them in two.'Ooh enchanted armor.'"To ar-" a Knight began yelling but was cut off mid scream by a sword piercing through him, John stood behind him and pulled his sword free of him and began to engage the man next to him in combat.

"Ha" Thomas Half laughed in disbelief. Sarah, and Vanessa could only open and close their mouths."See he's a monster! All he want's is the death of you and the empire!""I've never hid the fact that I hate you Imperials. But I'll say this much I hate Albrael and it's Royal family far more then I could ever hate the Empire. The empire didn't betray their people on a Whim. Robert I would pay to kill for his betrayal.'His betrayal? Could he be talking about The Black Guard'"Wait I thought The Black Guard Betrayed their king?" Garrett asked."Yea? Just where did you hear that from? Ever hear the saying history is written by the victor? This case is a prime example of such a situation. I don't know if It was because people were so happy the war finally came to an end, or if humanity has always just not cared so long as they themselves remained unaffected. Either way Almost no one questioned what happened. Of course there was also others that we

"You sons of bit-" His words cut off Braum stood there wide eyed. A familiar taste filled his mouth. Granted it had been a while since he had last taste it. But the scent was unmistakable. He felt Warmth washing over his body."Wha- BRAUM!" The Princess? Braum looked over at her. She had a horrified look on her face. There was almost no color to her. Tears were flowing even harder then they previously had been. She was Staring at Christopher. 'What could the bastard have done this time.' Braum began to turn towards him, he had to admit the excitement at the thought of yelling at him had a wonderful sound to it. It would definitely cheer him up after witnessing the failure of his family's men."What did you do this ti-" Halfway through the turn Braum felt drunk for some reason, he began to fall over but was swiftly caught. "Ah thank you." He regretted the words immediately after saying them, for the one that caught him was Christopher and he would not

The thundering of over one thousand men approaching could be heard off in the distance. From the sounds of how fast they were moving. It was quite clear they seemed to know their location and who exactly was with them. Everyone quickly got aboard the wagon, Each person there was aware everything that has happened would need to be set aside until a later time. Their current situation far outweighed Braum's death. To make matters worse if Halbert sent his cavalry ahead of his infantry they would definitely catch up to them soon. Their wagon was being pulled by two horses sure but they had quite a few people plus supply's on it. There would be no way to outrun them."Well everyone I think one of our worse case scenarios just happened." Thomas called over his shoulder as he whipped the horses trying to get as much speed out of them as possible. If they had been in the territory of Helenfel it would be a different story, but they were still a ways off with no means to

Christopher watched as his friends disappeared behind a hill. ' Gotta admit it's nice having people who actually care around.' Once he was certain they kept going he turned to face the three hundred knights that were getting closer with each passing moment. " Now what the hell am I going to do about this." He sighedTaking a deep breath he looked around.. Beautiful, the view was simply breath taking. They had been moving further north for some time, doing so has brought them into view of the Ademos Mountains lush green lands leading up to the snowy peaks offered the beauty of the north for lovers of all seasons. The sun although setting was a wonder to behold as it began to set lower behind the mountains. A nice strong summer breeze blowing from the mountains bearing the warmth of the last rays of sun light and the cool beauty of the frosty mountain tops.'Ah a good place to die." Christopher took in a deep breath inhaling the fresh air. It was something he never

The moment Christopher's hand wreathed in flames slammed into the ground a daisy chain of explosions echoed outward from the point of impact. Anyone who was unfortunate enough to be nearby was instantly erased from the world almost as if they had never existed. The few that left any proof that they had once been, was around the lines of a finger or some sort of small organ strewn about."AAAAH!" cries could be heard all around. Of course there had been survivors as well but none of them were able to escape the blast unscathed. Flames surged forward from the point of origin which many of the soldiers had taken directly to the face. Agonizing cries resonated around through the mist and smoke. The armor given to them that both brought them pride and defended them against the attacks of their enemies had now become a curse. The plate armor got super heated fusing it to their skin peeling off their armor now was essentially peeling off their own skin.This could have been t

Everyone could only feel excitement. Leaving Christopher behind to buy them time had now become an after thought. The only thing they could feel at this moment was both happiness and excitement. The only one still looking back in the direction Christopher had last been seen was Elise and John."The border!" Garrett called out excitedly. They had finally arrived at the territory of Helenfel. Even if she would not provide aid to Sarah, at the very least Halbert would not bring his army into Lady Cassandra's territory without first receiving her approval. One way or another they had bought themselves a reprieve. All actual roads going to or from Helenfel guarded by a small garrison and gates to help prevent crime and protect their people. Truly she cared more for her people's safety then the king did in the capitol.When they passed through the gate Garrett gave him his name and requested an audience with Lady Cassandra so no one would know Sarah was with them.

"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,
