"What's going to happen once the Matriarch gets power?" Kyra asked.
"Well, no one really knows. She might turn us into a monarchy, or she'll keep the democracy." Naes explained.
"That's not what I meant. Will she do what the Matriarch of Diamond did and rule her people with fear, or what?'
"I don't know. We'll just have to see."
They had been on the road for two days now. The next town was Diamond's capital, Relia.
"We should be in Relia before dark." Just as she said that, a demon leaped out from behind a bush. It had the wings of a dragonfly, the body of a preying mantis, and the tail of a scorpion; only, it was ten feet tall.
"I' II see what I can draw from it." Naes concentrated hard. Soon a bolt of lightening transferred from the beast to her.
"Ice!" Kyra called out. A blast of cold energy projected from her hand, and froze the demon solid.
"Thunder!" Naes shot the electricity that had come from the demon back at it, but the creature absorbed it.
"Oh no!" Edea cried as it knocked Andrew into a tree. A branch pierced his soldier and he fell unconscious.
Trae's Crystal began to glow as it did before and became the sword of light. He charged at the beast and cut it in half. The two halves fell to the ground in a puddle of green blood.
"We did it!" Kyra cheered.
"What's the big deal/it was just a demon." Trae put his Crystal back around his neck.
"That's true, but if we fight them, we will become stronger." We will be able to up against the forces of evil and defeat Eudel's spirit."
"Andrew," Edea aspired to wake him up.
"What?" He asked opening his eyes. He gasped and grabbed his wounded shoulder.
"Relia!" Kyra announced.
Andrew got up. The group ran as fast as they could to get to the city. With each step they took however, the clean beds, warm food, and a shower seemed farther away. They slowed down once they got closer.
"What happened?" they all had puzzled looks on their faces. As they passed through the gates they saw that the streets were littered with the bones and rotting flesh of the citizens. The smell invaded their nostrils. It made them want to disgorge.
"Daddy?" A little girl walked out of the shadows.
"No. We're just travelers." Andrew told the little girl, "Daddy isn't here."
"Daddy!" The girl ran up to Andrew and wrapped herself around his leg.
"No, I'm not your-"
"Mommy!" She ran over to Edea and hugged her as well.
"What's going on?" Edea asked her instructor noticing the purple crescent moon around the girl's neck.
"I-I honestly don't know."
"Did I supwise you?"
"Yes, you did. Now, where are your real parents."
"Right-"she vanished as if she were a hologram."
"What's going on?" Edea asked again.
"That might have something to do with hit." Kyra pointed to a creature standing about ten feet away. It had tentacle for arms and feet, but the torso of a shark.
"What the h-" It charged at Andrew. He crouched down and grabbed its tentacles. He lifted it high in the air and threw it back to where it had previously been standing."
"Whoa!" Even Trae was amazed by his comrade's strength with an injury it charged again. This time Andrew jumped into the air and landed on its back, this crushed the creature's insides causing purple ooze to gush from the cadaver.
