Renner's POV

We stayed inside the building for what seemed like days. In reality the screams ended at around midnight. The others inside of the building were crying, huddled together in one of the corners far away from the door.

We decided that we would stay in the other corner to avoid the other people. Climb laid with his back against the wooden wall. I curled up next to him, laying my head on his chest. Warmth radiated from his body, drawing me in closer. He smiled shyly at me, unsure of the situation and what to do. I smiled softly. Listening to the steady beat of his heart, it seemed to send me into a trance. My eyelids became heavy, slowly closing. I slipped out of consciousness and into the blackness of deep sleep.

Climb's POV

The sunlight shone through the window to on the far side of the wall near the door signaling morning. I stirred as the rays of sunlight shone onto my face. I opened my eyes sleepily.

I stayed up most of the night, keeping watch. I trusted Renner but I didn't trust Ainz to keep his word. I was new to this world of angels and demons.

I looked down, finding Renner snuggled close to me, resting her head on my chest. I was leaned up against the wooden wall in the corner. I pulled in a lungful of air, smelling her sweet aroma. I leaned closer, smelling her wonderful blond hair. I moved my hand to her face, slowly caressing her.

She started to stir, slowly returning to our world from her sleep. She looked up at my face with her sleepy eyes. She looked beautiful with a small sparkly in her eyes. She looked around, slightly disoriented.

I rested my hand on her face forcing her to look back up at me. I leaned down, planting a kiss on her tender lips. He face slightly blushed as our lips parted, ending the kiss.

We waited for a while before deciding to leave the Inn. I walked close to the door, drawing my sword, ready to fight anything on the other side. I opened the door, peeking out making sure nothing was on the other side. I slowly opened up the door, looking into the distance. A few bloodied bodies littered the street. I turned my gaze to the sky, spotting a column of smoke rising into the air. I traced the column back down to the royal castle.

The castle was on fire, burning brightly. My eyes widened, the home we had both known for so long was now rubble and on fire. Renner peaking out from behind me, spotting the same fire. I looked back at her, she had tears in her eyes. I turned and embraced her, holding her tight against myself as she silently wept.

Kate's POV

I looked in the mirror hanging on the opposite wall. It reflected me, The blue chest plate that stuck to my body, it emphasized my large bosom and left a large impression on most men. I wore a modest skirt like clothing that still allowed for a large range of motion. Red locks of hair flowed down on top of my chest plate from my head. It was a wonderful crimson color that left most men speechless. On my waist was an expensive leather sheath the held a thin sword known as "The Sword of Leviathan".

It was a demon sword used by one of the demon kings before they were sealed in hell. It had been passed down through my family line for generations. It was mainly kept hidden and never used but I could not bear to have such a sword and not use it. I unsheathed it slowly, I took it in one of my hands and spun it around.

The silver metal shined in the light that entered through the large window. I looked out the window, it overlooked a large city encased by stone walls. They were roughly twelve meters in height. I looked back down at the blade, gently inscribed in the middle of the blade was the word, "Darkness".

I gently ran my finger across the smooth side of the blade, feeling the groves the inscribed words created. I slid my finger down the sharp edge of the blade, cutting my finger open causing blood to come to the surface of my skin. The sword appeared to suck the blood into it causing a small red line to travel down the blade to the handle.

I pulled the blade away from my finger, slowly sliding it into leather sheath as I prepared to set out.

I opened the wooden door leading into a small room with a bed placed in the center. There was a dresser pressed up against the opposite wall, it was the only other thing inside the room. I took one look around the room making sure that I wasn't leaving anything behind before heading towards the door that lead out of the building.

I opened the door, preceding to walk down a narrow hallway until I reached a small desk. Behind the desk stood an older women who smiled as I approached. I returned the gesture as I laid the key to my room and said goodbye. I then turned and walked to two double doors leading out of the Inn and to the street.

Once I exited the building a small breeze blew by causing my hair to float behind me as I walked. I was heading towards the adventurer's guild building. I turned the corner of one of the streets while wondering if there would be any interesting requests today. I walked in front of the adventurer's guild and looked up at the familiar sign that hung above.

The sign had the universal symbol the Adventure Guilds used. A shield with two swords overtop it, they were crossed to create an X over the shield. I pushed through two large double doors made from an expensive looking wood.
