Entry 1:
I remember my Grandfather saying while grabbing his armor yesterday, "The Beasts haven't broken us yet." I didn't realize that he was very wrong at the time. They ripped their way through the stone gates into the Kingdom. One by one his soldiers were mauled and beaten. Many were taken. Like me.
Grandfather just did not assume they would take anyone alive. Those Beasts drink the blood of mortals I was told by my Grandfather when I was small. I hear rumors that once you are fed off of, you will slowly turn into a demon yourself, but I don't believe that. I think you get deathly ill and die. But I wouldn't know. Most of the men and women who are "consumed" never return to the Out-Post here. I think the Beasts keep them away to die in a cellar after they drain them dry. But I wouldn't know that either.
Everyone here is going mad. This morning after we were told to move into the center plaza, we saw many of the older women and men being dragged away by the Beasts into my Grandfather's Castle after they invaded and rounded us up like cattle. The rumors started there. All the looneys said the elders were being mauled to death and being torn to shreds because the meat on their bones is worn and tough like their blood. I stopped listening because it was all crazy talk.
They shouldn't make assumptions, especially when no one knows what the Beasts really are.
After we were lead on to the center plaza, our roles were put into play. I didn't understand why they wanted us at first. But then I guess they needed their Empire to grow, thus workers and slaves. And they happened to pick my Grandfathers Kingdom first to absorb. The workers and slaves were assigned by individual picks by what I think was the Arch Commander. He stood in front of all of us and stared us down. "He's burning our souls from within! Don't look into his eyes!" I hear a voice shout, then an unsheathing of a sword, following a gasp and splatter of blood. I didn't turn around once, that fool should have stayed quiet. We all knew that if you followed by their orders you would end up safe-right? I didn't bother to think any more of what was to come of all of this. I just moved along the line to the Arch Commander.
When I reached his footing, I was unaware of how tall he was. I took in his overwhelmingly handsome features-like all the Beasts have. Their uncanny beauty is unlike those of a demons which make them that more dangerous. His eyes were that of a serpents' I remember. Very gold and very black.
"Your name." He asks with a surprisingly comforting voice, but in a powerful tone.
"Cilicia."
"Your father."
"Unknown."
He looks down to me with a puzzled look and stays quiet for a few moments. He then waves me away to the right of him as he calls for one of the Head Guards to escort me with another group into the Castle. Unknown to me at the time I was assigned as a Disposer. I clean inside the Castle and dispose of the human remains that are currently within the Castle walls. Me and along of the other disposers wait beside the Head Guards in front of the Castle doors as we are given instructions on how and where to dispose of the bodies.
Knowing that this will not take very long for the ten of us to do, I am not sure how long I will be important to the Beasts.
