Ground shook, and cries rang out through the air even through the roar of artillery. The siege guns inside the city were constantly bombarding the approaching monster forces. Their accuracy wasn't exactly ideal, many of the shots were deflected by monster magic and the monsters' loose formations prevented the worst of the damage but the casualties were starting to build up. Their morale would rise back up the instant they got within sight of the men on the wall but for now the monsters and their thralls were demoralised, constantly harassed by outriders and tired from their march. Good odds, it's up to us to finish them. About half of their army was flying and they were mostly safe since the shorter ranged rapid fire cannons meant for shooting them down weren't in range yet.

The monster army once within sight of the fort had sped up, they were charging the walls without siege towers nor battering rams. They didn't need them when their bodies would serve just as well. The rhythmic booming of the many cannons and now even mortars supported by the fwoosh of rockets filled our ears raising morale and exciting the troops. Soon the monster horde made up of succubus knights, centaurs, werewolves, harpies, orks, imps and other demons would be within repeater and long rifle range. Soon the real culling would begin and the strongest of the abominations would make themselves known.

Above us the comet kept getting brighter, the darkening skies making it all the more visible. Then one of the faster succubus knights made it within the three axis guns range. A visible torrent of canister shot and solid shot emerged from the city, many were ripped apart but more dodged or withstood the explosives within the canisters, their numbers weren't thinning out as expected. They must have been more elite than expected, no matter, they would shatter.

My Surefires had started aiming but at this range they wouldn't kill only wound.

"Stop, don't shoot until the rest of the gun line starts shooting and don't waste your ammunition on the chaff target standard bearers and anyone that looks shiny enough." Having a loud voice full of authority really is nice, they obeyed without question.

They would shoot soon enough anyways, the second wall was about 1 or 2 metres taller than the first so that if it were to fall we could shoot the invaders. I finally spotted one of the commanders, a demon standing behind the lines on a rock looking up at the walls, they were preparing a spell. Not the kind to lead from the front I guess, Oracle's Torch wouldn't be able to penetrate her skull from this far out even if I shot through the eye, but it would disrupt her casting. Raise, aim, shoot. The first handgun shot of the siege rang out, the bullet propelled by black powder travelled the 500 or so metres between us in one and a half seconds making a clear arc. It would have gone straight into her eye had she not reacted fast enough. She turned her head and I nailed her cheek instead, her head snapped back but she was wounded.

Nothing serious, considering she's a demon it'll probably be healed in a matter of minutes but her spell exploded and sent the many other spell casters around her flying. She turned her head and looked directly at me, and I gave the order…

"Pick your targets… Now, now Shoot!" Raising my voice to be heard did the trick. My Surefires nailed their targets and chaos erupted. A veritable hail of Lead emerged from the walls cutting down the vanguard of the monsters but they didn't stop, they would be upon the gates and the first wall in a matter of seconds.

We kept pouring gunfire on them but suddenly one of the 18 pounders on the first wall went down, its crew corrupted or unconscious, their former comrades threw them down the walls to their deaths, dragon fire… I saw her then in the air hidden by the other flyers a black dragon. Now swooping down on the wall and ignoring any of the anti air fire coming its way. Show time

"Halberdiers protect the surefires! Surefires focus fire on its wings, keep it grounded!" Reichsgarde Stay put! There isn't anything you can do here." My orders were given . I grabbed Mortality Clarified and once again Jumped… Damn it, this is going to become a trend, isn't it? Tch, focus. The 40 metres between the two walls cleared in one clean jump. I rushed towards the black dragon still in a humanoid form.

I heard her voice rife with frustration. "GODS DAMN IT, are there no worthy mates here at ALL?" You won't live long enough to worry about that you bitch, seeing as you still haven seen the two and a half metre armoured and armed warrior running at you. I reared back for a strike and smashed my halberd down making a loud whooshing sound, and… didn't penetrate the skin. Shit. Quickly kicking to throw off the rapidly turning beast I flipped my halberd around and threw a backswing, this rushed strike did penetrate… about a centimetre of flesh. Are all dragons this though?

Back step and dodge that stone shattering tail. I seem to have angered her.

"RAAAAAAAA…" Yeah, I would say so. Pull back, a volley of gunfire came from my Surefires and ruined her wings, the rest of her body was unharmed but her wings were riddled with holes, blood poured down them.

One of the 17 pounders shot at her but missed, taking advantage of her momentary distraction I rushed forwards and thrust my spike upwards to her throat, but I was batted aside. Come on Nao, continue attacking or she'll just breathe fire. If I can't pierce, blunt force trauma will have to do it. Flip the axe and hook her in the right shoulder blade, draw her into my waiting fist and nail her in the chin.

A thunderous boom louder than even the rifles filled the air, she flew a good 15 metres. I was running before she hit the ground but she was faster than expected and got up before I got there. A spike charge it was then, I picked up speed and rushed towards her with my weapon aimed at her heart and thrust. She caught my weapon with her claws, I tried pushing in vain. She was stronger than ME, tch.

Still dazed and with a broken Jaw she managed to speak. "Yuu, don smell lake aa mann." Even ruined, her face was beautiful. "Aa challungur thaan?" Her grip slacked for a second, from the pain. So I pulled my weapon back, making a terrible screeching sound against her scales. My surefires sent another volley down the moment I pulled back and the seventeen pounder shot once again this time grazing her arm and putting her out of balance. I kicked her right knee, no satisfying crunch this time but her hiss of pain was also satisfactory. Taking advantage of her prone position I brought my backspike onto where her heart should have been. I did pierce something but it definitely wasn't her heart, most likely her lung, I guess her organs were arranged a bit differently than a humans.

"YOU INSIGNIFICANT WORM!" She could still move? What kind of pain tolerance is that? I couldn't dodge out of the way enough, she grabbed me from my ankle, spun around and threw me towards the 17 pounder on the second wall. She didn't throw me as hard as she possibly could, the monster's aversion to killing saved me a lot of pain but I do feel kind of insulted. Does she think I am one of those pansy ass heroes of the Order?

Just to demonstrate how much she insulted me I flipped midair and crashed into the wall feet first. With a 90 degree angle to the wall I tensed my legs, readied my halberd and Pushed. As fast as a crossbow bolt I launched off cratering the wall in my wake, changing my stance mid air I tangled my axehead to catch her right in the throat and swung mid air. With a shower of gore her head flew right off. She hadn't seen my rebound and was unprepared. Must not have had much experience. I think I just killed a kid, a powerful and abominable kid but a kid nonetheless.

I looked to the sky for answers and only saw the ever brighter Comet. Suddenly I was broken out of my stupor by the northern gates being broken apart, the invaders were met by a hail of gunfire but they kept on coming, a look outside and I saw that this was only the beginning of the horde, even with all the defences and the explosive field made by sappers at most a third of the monster horde was destroyed. And these beasts didn't break that easily, now we would have to deal with them in close quarters.

Joseph's forces were still holding the walls, onn some places the monsters had made contact with riflemen and halberdiers but generally the wall would hold for a few more minutes. The retreat had been called and the gunners were evacuating to the second walls; the kill teams below and the cavalry my Reichsgarde included were charging the enemy and then disappearing down the winding streets. Repeaters rang out to clear entire streets but we were slowly getting overwhelmed, one of the commanding succubi draped in red 'armour' decorated with jewels looking like eyes and crosses that heroes of the order often wear was leading a group of succubus knights down one of the streets to trap Elise's unit between them and a pack of hellhounds.

"Halberdiers, Reichsgarde! With Me!" I led my troops to said location, once I caught sight of the armoured sluts I ran with all my strength shaking the ground, by the sounds of thunderous clacks of horse claws on the street my Catarine was following me. Faster and faster, normally a charge on foot does not send the enemy flying. The keyword being 'normally', the succubi flew all around me. I penetrated deep into their lines and crushed many underfoot or impaled with my weapon. My Reichsgarde hat shattered what remained from my own charge Continuing forth I kept throwing them all around until I got to the leading abomination.

By this point both screams of pain and pleasure had filled the air and the air smelled of blood, sweat and indecent bodily fluids, we had already lost many and the corruption in the air was even affecting me ever so slightly. The Succubus turned towards me, her face stretched in a distraught expression at the death of her comrades. Nothing new to me, but it still made me hesitate long enough for her to dodge back. The fallen hero looked at me with an expression of pity and shook her head.

"You are still set in those barbaric ways. We only wanted to bring you happiness and pleasure yet you answered us with fire and steel."

"You call eternal slavery and brainwashing 'happiness'? No, don't answer that, it's just gonna be more of the same as your kind always spouts. Freedom from oppression or some other meaningless nonsense. I am not going to stand for you lot besmirching humanity while also being worse. Have you ever thought that some people may just want lives about not only , and I mean only, sex and pleasure?"

The rant slipped out… Had I been this frustrated about them or was I just venting all my other frustrations onto it? Why are both humans and monsters so stupid? Why do I have to choose the less 'bad' option rather than the good one?

My hearts wasn't strong enough for this

"At least it's better than suffering under the pressure of the Order! You don't know anything about what life is like there, what they do their own people do!" My opponent had gotten likewise heated, must have been a sore subject.

Okay, she was still yelling at me ranting about a 'Noscrim' family, now push. I rushed forward and threw a spinning slash, I must have underestimated her because she did manage to desperately block my attack and back paddle.

"Don't worry, I'll open your eyes. You've yet to see what you are missing." Yet she still remained sure. Was she delusional or just sure of herself? I can't tell because of her already addled mind. Unlike my opponents from before who I had forced on the defensive from the very beginning this one was like a berserker, ignoring my attacks and either dodging them with her equal speed or ignoring them with surprising tenacity. Just as she made another reckless slash with her broadsword I pushed into her guard, picked her up from the face and slammed her into the stone tiled ground, again, and again, and again… and just for good measure again.

Well that should do it. Her blood had already pooled at my feet and I couldn't feel her desperate attempts to breathe anymore. I let go of her head and let it fall with a sickening squelching sound… My hands were covered in blood. My reichsgarde had slaughtered the rest of the succubus knights already, I turned towards Catarina, who was riding towards me screaming something.

Before I could understand what she was saying my world was flipped, something made contact with my lips and I felt something pouring into me. My body heated up something which should have been a scream of pain but wasn't slipped out. Dazed I couldn't make sense of what was happening, but Catarina speared someone through the chest right behind me. Come on, steady… steady, breathe, clear your soul of the corruption no matter how sweet it may whisper to you. Don't think about the sensation only centre on your being.

The demonic energy slowly flowed out of me and most of it was banished by my darkstone bracelets once it flowed out but some remained still clouding my mind ever so slightly. It was too deep in my body to be affected by the bracelets, but also minimal. That bit wouldn't cause any problems so long as I didn't get hit anymore. I turned and saw Catarina looking at me with concern, her armour and horse covered in blood just like my own with the corpse of the fallen hero still stuck on the blade of her swordstaff.

She shook the corpse off. "My lady, are you alright? I don't see any kind of monsterization but that was a lot of demonic energy." She was genuinely worried about me huh?

"I… I'm fine. Have we lost any?" I did ask the question I had been dreading.

"A few, my lady. I don't have an exact number but six or seven needed to be put down or killed themselves before they could turn…" Even if I knew that there would be casualties I hadn't thought that we'd have to put them down. It was affecting Catarina even worse, her face stretched in an uncharacteristic frown and dead eyes were gazing at me.

"Catarina… You let them die as themselves, it's for now the only thing we can do for them. But remember we aren't fighting just for today, I am sure that someday a method will be found to hold back that accursed curse. But until that day comes we must do what is required. If you think the Mercy stresses the soldiers too much, bind them and bring the victim to me after the battle. I will shoulder that burden as well, it is what I was born for."

She did not seem to ease after my words, it seemed they only made her worried for me. 'Skill and talent beyond human capability' my ass. Still duty called, the surefires were still shooting away but my halberdiers had engaged something below the second wall, a pack of hellhounds. There is no way they can hold berserkers like that back, already pleasured screams could be heard and before my very eyes five of them were dragged off to never be seen by human eyes again. I looked up and yes, the Comet had gotten brighter and… bigger? Was it coming nearer?

"Catarina, it seems our time of respite has come to an end. The halberdiers have gotten off the wall and are engaging a pack of hellhounds. Get into formation we are going to need to assist them." Now then, even if my breath was heavy and my limbs tired I still had work to do.

As I ran I turned my head to take a look at the situation on the walls, it was bad. And by that I mean it was full of monsters and their victims, now the booms of cannons and guns were silenced, instead screams of pleasure had filled the air. The defensive line would have to be pulled back, only the set up killzones and the second wall were left.

No time, just relieve the halberdiers. Once again rushing in and shattering the beast should have been easy, but these savages were simply built different from the others. They stood their ground as I smashed into them some were still sent flying but they blunted my advance not giving way, the reichsgarde should be able to break through with their weight.

I was proven correct, after a screech from their trumpets they charged in around me shattering the left wing of the beasts. The rest soon followed, then one of the hellhounds that were trying to escape tripped, she was young maybe 12 or 14 with a cute face marred by tears. Her leg had been cut and she was bleeding all over the ground. I tried to bring down my weapon on her head but my hands wouldn't move.

The decision to kill her or let her go was made for me by a furious halberdier, in his twenties he was young for the heavy halberdiers unit. His handsome face framed by short hair and a dapper moustache was covered in blood and sweat. He brought his own halberd down with a roar of hate on the girl, cracking her skull open.

She couldn't even scream and he wasn't satisfied yet, he rushed off in search of his next victim. Oh… my hands are shaking, I thought I was over this by holy shit. How am I supposed to remain calm after seeing that? Come on, they are depending on you, just suppress those unwanted feelings before they can take hold.

"Naotora!" Huh, I turned and saw Elise riding towards me with a cavalry cohort behind her. "The main assault is targeting the northern square held by the remaining heroes, but they left their apparent leader open. Joseph wants the three of us to take her out, once that bitch dies the rest should rout. Katja is already outside, thinning her guard, the rest of the bastards are too crazed to obey orders."

Yes, if we kill that demon the rest will run away. A quick solution needing the death of only one. But my halberdiers were in bad shape, and the surefires were running out of ammo. Tch, I'm gonna need to pull them back.

"Give me a second, I need to give my infantry some orders, they can't fight effectively anymore." Requesting a little bit of time I turned towards the halberdiers and ordered them to escort the surefires and regroup with the main force, hopefully Joseph would find some use for them.

"Catarina! You're with me." With Elise and my cohorts we exited through the south gate. The outside looked like hell itself, corpses filled craters and piles of the dead burned producing a sickening smell. Even the reichsgarde's beastly warhorses were scared of the hellscape and the constant bombardment still coming despite the fall of the first wall, they rode on regardless.

The outriders were in a precarious position, tied down by the fast moving imps and succubus knights, they were bleeding numbers. Katja was still safe, not yet corrupted. But a band of four men and women wearing a very familiar emblem on their fetishistic armours, an eagle holding a spear with its claws.

I couldn't be this lucky can I? No this should just be another demon not Iza right? The comet seemed to laugh at me, who am I kidding? It definitely is her. Agh, just focus on killing them and making sure your cousin doesn't turn. Draw your gun, aim for that thrall's head and shoot. His head snapped back not dead, the helmet managed to stop it from this far away. Weak Points and joints it is then. I have 5 more shots left, let's see you move after them traitor, one to the left wrist, another to the right elbow, third to the left knee. Cripled and useless, let's take out your masters as well.

Two shots left, I would have to pick between the two remaining monsters and thrall. The monsters should be more dangerous, the lamia would be first then the armoured succubbus would follow. The lamia doesn't have legs and her shoulders are armoured, the elbow it is then. With a bang the hot piece of lead crossed the 100 or so metres with ease and tore straight through her unprotected right elbow causing her to drop her longsword. Next, with smooth action the chamber was cleared and a new round loaded, let's show this bitch why you're supposed to wear a helmet. I shot and… her head came off? Not the decapitation kind, it just kinda … detached. Guess she's a durandal and I just mistook her for a succubus. I don't think the bullet even penetrated her hard skull, it just launched her head away. Yep, her body definitely is moving around still seeing as she's trying to drag the thrall I shot down away. She wouldn't be a problem for now.

The other thrall had tackled Katja down from her horse and was in the process of dragging her back towards their leader, shit, fuck, no, come on run.

Elise must have had the same Idea seeing as she started galloping even faster.

Well… as they said: in for an asses, in for an aureus. "Move faster!"

A bit more to go, 3, 2, 1… And Crash! The Demonkind were scattered by our charge accompanied by the characteristic trumpets. Bodies flew everywhere and many were trampled underfoot but we were being bogged down by our former allies and the monsters, who were trying to drag the knights down, who in turn couldn't bring themselves to fight at their maximum capacity. We hadn't been able to reach Katja, but I could see her being binded by the demon. She didn't have much time left.

"Catarina, pull and charge again! Clear a path towards the demon."

"Understood, please wait for us." She was as reliable as she had first promised. Now then to smash the last remaining reichsgarde between me and that demon.

The lamia was, despite her monstrous nature, quite heavily armoured; only her cleavage and her bottom half were unarmoured. The scaled snake half would be tough to get through her snake scales so through the cleavage it was.

"You know, we don't have to do this, we just want to help everybody live freely. Trust me you'll like life a lot more as a mamono." The traitor called out to me. The filth, thinking her taint a blessing.

"If you had never returned to the very lands you betrayed, you could have lived your so-called 'free life', but you decided that you would spread your curse to the unwilling. For that very crime a normal court would have you flogged and crucified, thank your pathetic dark god that I am merciful and will only execute you."

"Oh, you must be quite pent up." This bitch, thinks I would be affected by such things. The monsters around us had gathered up around me trying to stop me from reaching their leader, I could already hear Katja's pleasured screams.

I rushed forth and thrusted my spear at her neck quickly blocked by her longsword now held with her a quick rebound of that I took the head of a dark elf trying to bind my legs with a whip off, elbowed a succubus trying to stab me in the back breaking her ribs and took a defensive stance.

The others weren't willing to attack me after their compatriots' fates, but I wasn't going to stop and wait for my backup who were already charging back in with their trumpets. Elise and her knights must have already charged back in, I could see the flying monsters from here. I launched towards the traitor and brought my halberd down in a overhead swing as expected she deflected it, with a smooth motion I cut one of the imps floating to the side in half and brought my halberd back to a attacking position with the axehead over my own head towards the right shoulder and the queue pointing towards my enemy.

The lamia stepped in for an attack and got a stab to the chest for her initiative, despite fighting with her off hand she was quite good at defending. Of course this did not mean that she managed to stop the immediate swing coming from the right. Her shoulderpads couldn't stop the swing, shattering under the massive pressure. My weapon found flesh and bone, her scream of anguish only fueled my desire to see her dead, this traitor would perish soon enough. For daring to attack the nation she betrayed once again.

I pulled back and thrust my halberd forward straight through her cleavage and into her heart. I saw her realise what had happened and panic, she fell down and tried to claw back towards the demon with the last of her strength. I stepped on her hand and crushed it.

"VIVIAN!" The thrall that could still move had turned towards me, why did they always have to scream? Why not just… you know, react? Well he did take my inner advice and rushed up to me… only to get blown up by an artillery shell fired into the fucking melee… I will find whoever fired that shell and rip them a new asshole. That shit landed like ten metres in front of me, I don't think it hit any of our riders unless the shrapnel scattered way farther than expected.

I guess I can't complain too much seeing as it did clear a way to the demon. Just… It was too late. The sight that greeted me wasn't two fallen reichsgarde and a demon, it was two demons and two reichsgarde. Katja now with blue skin and even darker blue hair almost glimmering like lapis lazuli smiled at me despite the death she saw right before her. She was garbed in a fatishistic version of her former outrider gear and with exaggerated curves.

"Cousin, you look quite mad. I can tell even through that helmet, why don't you come here? I'm sure that mistress Iza would also like to see you free, no?" Her voice once filled with a snarky yet clear tone was now husky and almost seductive. I need to deal with her before…

"SISTER! Damn you, you wench! I'll have your head hung on the front gates for this." Well speaking of Katja.

"Ah , Sisterrrr. You are here! Finally, I'll show you the pleasure of falling into depravity and shedding your weak human body." The husk was still talking.

"Silence monster! Though you may wear my sister's skin, you are no sibling of mine!" I think this went on for long enough, the demon seems to be distracted watching the two bicker. Push off the ground and jump, I spun my halberd around to land a devastating slash with all my weight and speed behind it. The demon glanced up at me, narrowed her eyes and dashed backwards.

Not giving the spellcaster a chance to cast I rushed in behind her as I screamed to Elise. "Deal with the Husk! I'll take the two fallen and the demon. Our men should be able to handle the rest."

"Way ahead of you! Make sure that bitch pays for killing Katja!"

"I'm right here sister !"

Ignoring the last bit I kept gaining speed, the durandal tried to stop me. But she was weakened by losing her magical reserves, so I simply shoulder checked her and launched her away. The demon was already filling the very air with demon mana, whatever she was casting I wouldn't like it.

I dodged the sudden tentacle that sprouted from the ground and dashed in with a final sprint, a wave of energy was shot at me. Well, Father did this to me once sooo. Slide under it and jump to dodge the second energy blade. I kept running towards her with only a few more metres to go. With a thrust towards her bowels we entered combat, she was unexpectedly quite strong and fast. More than just a Spellcaster this one. She fought with clawed gauntlets made out of a dark shining metal, most likely some kind of demon realm silver, and expertly parried, deflected and dodged my swings and thrusts.

I decided to step it up a bit, my exposure was increasing. No matter how much my bracelets and transhuman nature protected me, even I had my limits. I fainted a reverse handed swing and stabbed her in the gut with my queue, the leather 'dress' she was wearing was actually quite sturdy, my queue bit down on only a centimetre or two of flesh. She dashed back and made a barrier of energy between us.

"I can feel your anger, you know. It is a cold one fuelled mainly by what you think you should feel anger towards. Who made you like this? Who suppressed your emotions to such a degree that you can only feel them superficially? Sometimes you get bursts of genuine emotion but they are quickly suppressed."

Talking in the middle of combat is a sin, but I'll indulge just this once. Because I was getting annoyed by all of these monsters belittling humanity.

"I was shaped to be a guardian and guide, I must understand humanity for that reason I learn emotion but I must be without their flaws. I will enjoy life but never let my desires lead me off the correct path that has been set out for me."

There was no spite, there was no emotion. This monster hadn't done anything to set off my anger yet. She looked at me with eyes full of pity.

"That is no way to live at all, devoting your everything to one greater goal will just burn you out." What could she know of a greater purpose, a hedonist trying to lecture me?

"Oh that was a small blip, did I anger you? I bet you're thinking something like 'What could she know of a greater goal?'. Honey, I want everyone to experience pleasure like I do. I was once a human too you know? An arch lector of the Order, now I see the truth. Well in your case the bit about the human body might not be true, you are That Man's child aren't you? I have respect for him, he made a nation so much better than the Order nations with only minor adjustments, but he's working with flawed material. Humanity is violent and greedy, sure to destroy themselves eventually."

I sprung forth and broke through the barrier with my gathered strength. Before she could react I grabbed her by the throat and slammed her down into the ground.

"Unlike you lot humanity can create things meant for something other than mere sex and pleasure, the very thought of doing something repeatedly and for ever is horrifying. It is described by most as torture." She called with a mewling voice

"Ha- Harder pleaaaaasseee !" I recoiled back from the psycho. She got up quickly and stretched in a seductive manner, she did know that I wasn't a man so why was she doing this?

"Ahh, I thought you were finally interested. What a shame" Even beaten up and bleeding she was quite confident. I hate her so much. I was launched into the air by a sudden blast of demonic energy, I could feel it in my lungs. Every breath I drew made my body hot and ache. Despite not being hit once my body was being contaminated, the corruption in the air was getting problematic.

I'll finish this soon, I rushed in, swung from the left and fainted into a kick to her knee. Now off balance she couldn't dodge the incoming swing so she blocked and got into my guard, now without the range advantage my halberd wasn't effective. She slashed across my breastplate and gauged claw marks into it and my flesh. The wound didn't bleed, it trobbed .

I pushed her off and stabbed at her with my top spike, parried but It led into a overheadswing which was also deflected. I parried a slash at my waist and threw her off balance, with a hard kick she was thrown onto the ground. My muscles burned and bones ached from the constant movement, yet I brought the axe head down on her, only to be tripped by a shadowy tentacle emerging from my shadow.

Acting fast she got on top of me and started binding me, the disgusting tentacles tried to get my armour off but other than my removed gorget there was no easy to get to my weak spot. They held me down, I couldn't get enough leverage to break through them. Come on not… like this, more strength.

"Sorry, you are fighting way too hard. Why don't you dream a little?" The demon spoke and a spell was cast near my head. Everything went blurry, then suddenly I woke up. H-uh?

A Golden armoured man with a red plume and Guardian spear suddenly called out to me. We were in a massive tunnel like 'structure' the walls made of evershiftinng energy.

"Lucius, Demons incoming! We need your arcane talents!" I cleared my head, there was work to do, our Masters masterpiece had to be cleared.

The voice that answered back was not my own.

"Brothers, ready the host! I will deal with the bloodthirster, keep the rest off of me!"

I marched to war alongside 'my' battle brothers.

AN: We do a little trolling, as always do comment. I like reading them.
