I stood on a cliff. Overlooking the black citadel. Now how to get in without dying is the question. The area around is completely inhabitable. The air is red. So no doubt. Poisonous.

"Hey deimos. If you could have any of the princess knights. Which one would you go for?" hicks asked.

"Why ask something that will never happen?" i asked.

"Just humor me." hicks said.

"To be honest. That's quite difficult. They're all beautiful. And they all have their upsides. Claudia is married. So she's off the menu. And i know luu-luu is a halfling. But i'm afraid someone would call the knights if I went out with her. And kaguya. I know priestesses from her land are not allowed to marry and focus most of their time on their god. So she's not up for grabs either. And as for the ones who are available…Alicia is honorable and is ready to fight for those she cares for. Prim is insanely adorable and I can't help but want to protect her. Maia seems like to be the most fun to be with. And celestine…as much as i would love that…she's a goddess and way out of my reach….i'll say…maia because she's the one that i can realistically go for." i said.

"Yeah your right about that…but that won't be the case soon enough." hicks said with a wicked grin. Those words…felt like the words of a horny orc…

"...what do you mean by that?" I asked. However this conversation ended. When keane yelled that he found a hidden entrance to the black fort. After crawling through the cramp stone tunnel. After dealing with an chimera. We found ourselves in the black forts dungeon.

"Alright men! This is it! Once we grabbed that dark elf! This war will be over. And a big payday for us all! Now black dogs! Move out!" vault yelled. Everyone ran up. While i walked. The halls were filled with the sounds of blade clashing. And blood spilling. Some orcs and imps came at me. But they were easily dispatched. As i ran through the hall slashing through every monster in my way. I soon found two black doors. I opened it to see the throne room. And on the throne. Was olga discordia. And damn…if sexy was a person she would be it. Long black hair. With a body that certainly gives celestines a run for her money. And caramel like skin. She got up from her throne. And looked at me with wide eyes.

"Tell me…why would a demon lord serve celestine?" olga asked.

"Demon lord? What are you talking about? I'm just an nomad turned knight." i said. She raised an eye brow.

"...it seems that power is dormant…for now…but i won't take my chances…" olga said. She soon flared up her magic. I readied myself only for huge dark fireball that would reduce me to ash. Exploded into particles. Olga then fell to the ground. Breathing heavily…celestine did say her magic was failing. Didn't realize how bad it was. I dismissed my swords. Approached her. And got down on one knee.

"Are you willing to listen now?" i asked.

"...go ahead. Kill me. That's why you came here. Right?" olga asked. I shook my head.

"No…celestine ordered me to bring you back unharmed. And i want to learn the truth about the legion." i said. Olga looked at me with surprise.

"The truth?" olga asked.

"The church would have us all believe that the legion are nothing more than mindless monsters that know only violence and lust. And from every village they attacked. It isn't hard to see why. But then i ran into that one orc leader who was willing to give his life in exchange for sparing his men…there's more to this then the church would let us know…and if I can't get answers from the light….then I will get them from the dark." i said. Olga smiled.

"Your certainly more understanding then most of your kind…very well. I'm in no position to resist. I'll go see your goddess." olga said. I smiled.

"Thank you. Lady discordia." i said. She looked at me with surprise. Then smiled.

"You certainly have more manners than most of your kind." olga said.

"I'm a saint compared to the idiots I'm forced to work with." i said. Olga giggled. Soon the doors opened. And i saw vault walk in. with his sword in one hand. And a blonde dark elf in chains in the other.

"Chloe!" olga yelled.

"Nice work. Deimos. You got her on her knees." vault said.

"She agreed to come with us quietly. Time to head back." i said.

"Not yet…we got a lot of looting to do! Take these two to the dungeon!" vault yelled.

"Keep your hands off my queen!" chloe yelled. Only to get vaults broadsword to her neck.

"Keep that big mouth of your shut! If you don't want your head to roll." vault said menacingly.

"Put her down!" olga yelled.

"Now why would i listen to yo-" vault said. But was interrupted when i got behind him and put yamato to his neck.

"You're gonna listen. Otherwise your head rolls." i threatened.

"So fast…how did he move so fast?" chloe asked. As both her and olga looked at me in shock.

"...fine." vault said. As he dropped chloe. The mercs took both her and olga to the dungeon. While keane got a hold of olga's staff. "I'll be merciful this time deimos…but next time you threaten me. You won't like what happens next!" vault threatened. I chuckled.

"That's my line. My mission is to bring the dark queen back to ken unharmed. You get in the way. Then were enemies…and trust me vault. I'm the kind of enemy you don't want to make." i said.

"Oh yeah. And what kind of enemy is that?" vault asked. I looked at him with a menacing glare.

"The one that would reduce the black dogs to sliced up bodies and broken weapons…you make an enemy of me. And it'll be the mistake that costs you everything." i said. I walked away. My message sent.

A day later./the dungeon.

"How are you two doing?" i asked as i sat down in front of their cell.

"Despite being in my own dungeon. While those fools rob my fortress. I'm fine…oh. Silly me. I never got your name." olga said.

"It's deimos. Deimos tachinowarui." i said.

"Your name is rather odd. Human. Your first name sounds spanish. But your last name sounds eastern." chloe said.

"I apologize from her rudeness. Deimos." olga said.

"Don't worry about it. She said worst things when she was dragged down here." i said. Remembering all the vulgarity that came out as she was dragged down here. "As for why i'm here…i'm here guarding you both…i don't trust the kuroinu…hicks said something that said off red flags in my head. When he asked me of which of the princess knights i would want. I pointed out how most of them were way out of my reach. But then he said. That wouldn't be the case soon. And said that with a vile grin…the kuroinu are planning something." i said.

"So those slimy humans are planning something…you planning on joining in human?" chloe asked.

"Hell no! If they are not willing to tell me. Then it's most likely something I want no part of. And there's also the fact I hate working with these idiots. All they ever talk about is how drunk there going to get after they find a place with a pub. Or about which girl they want to fuck. It's like eostia's biggest frat house. I just want to get this over with. So i can back to being around people who are smarter than Prim's horse." i said. The two dark elves giggled.

"You're quite the comedian." chloe said.

"I try…olga. There's something i want to ask." i said.

"Yes?" she asked.

"This is something that has been bugging me for a while. You. celestine. And kaguya. Seem to see something about me that scares you. Kaguya called me a dark knight. You called me a demon lord. And that look of fear in celestine when i entered the room didn't go unnoticed. So what is it. What do you three see in me?" i asked.

"It's…sealed…but there's a massive amount of foreign magic that sleeps within you. So much so. That me and celestine most likely confused you for a demon lord. If the seal was broken. And that magic was released…it would topple even celestines and my former power." olga said. The look of shock on chloe's face said it all.

"...i see." i said. I then shrugged. "Good to know. I've always been to handle whatever i faced on my strength alone. Even against beasts like minotaurs and cyclopes…but it's good to know i have this kind of power in case i face…something worse." i said. I don't know what that something worse is…but I get the feeling I'm going to find out soon enough.

Six days later.

Okay. I was getting pissed. By this time. The kuroinu should have everything not nailed down in a sack. So why the fuck are we still here?

"I'll be right back." i said. I went up the stairs and straight to the throne room. Where vault was sitting on olga's throne. He may think he's a king. But in my opinion he looks like a douche.

"So what brings you here deimos?" vault asked as he put his face to his fist.

"Why the fuck are we still here!? You must have taken everything worth stealing by now. So why aren't we heading back to ken. And wrapping this up? Answer me vault!" i yelled.

"Guess no point in hiding it anymore." vault said as he stood up. "Tell me deimos…how do you feel about your life?" vault asked.

"...i would say i found my purpose. I'm okay with it. Where is this going?" i asked.

"Where this is going is that i have an idea for a better purpose for you. For all of us. For us to return eostia to the days when men ruled. And women did whatever the fuck we said. But nowadays they tell us what to do. This war was started by celestine and olga. And we fought and died for i say enough's enough! I'm taking eostia back to the days when all women did was cook clean and fuck! Celestine and those princess knights will pay us more than just with gold. They'll pay us with their bodies. I know we've had our differences deimos. But with your skills. You can have those bitches at our knees at record time. You can have any of them you want. So what do you say deimos!?" vault yelled. I wanted to vomit. There not just frat boys..their dirty pigs…if i side with them…i would be throwing everything away…my honor…my reputation…my morals…my humanity. I fought the legion to have peace. To stop the pillaging. The violence. The rapeing. I didn't do it so that these mercenary pigs could take their place.

"...no." I replied.

"What the hell do you mean no!?" vault asked. Clearly angry.

"The princess knights put their trust in me. The people of eostia put their trust in me…i'm not gonna betray that…for your perverted dream. You disgusting pig!" I yelled. Vault drew his sword and approached me.

"And i had such high hopes for you…goodbye deimos." vault said as he charged at me. I sidestepped his sword. And quickly disarmed with yamato. I put my sword right in his mouth. Just far enough so that my blade was close to his uvula.

"I told you vault…i'm an enemy you don't want to make…your the first of many pigs who will die today." i said as i thrusted my sword further. Right through his throat and out the back of his head. With a quick twist and pull. The leader of the kuroinu was dead at my feet. Everyone around me drew their weapons.

"Kill him!" one of the mercs yelled. I rolled my eyes as they charged at me.

Chloe pov.

"Let me go you beast!" i yelled. As the orc dragged me to the throne room. He clearly wasn't listening. As he continued to drag me. I saw one of those humans crawling away missing a leg. He didn't get very far. As that human that me and olga talked to. Deimos walked up behind him. And stabbed him through the head…he was soaked. Head to toe. In blood. The orc grabbed me by my head. And held one of my own daggers to my throat.

"You know. In my eyes. That doesn't say "drop your weapons." to me that say's "please throw something sharp in my eye."" Deimos said as he threw his eastern sword. At the orc. Getting him right in the eye. The orc let me go. Deimos approached. And cut my chains with his broadsword. Afterwards. He grabbed the hilt of his sword and bent it upwards snapping the neck of the orc who held me. He then offered me a hand up. Which I reluctantly took.

"You may want to have some cleaners when you get back." deimos said as he walked towards the armory. I looked into the throne room…one man caused that kind of massacre? He's not human…no way in hell is deimos human.

"Chloe come on! We need olga's stuff and get the hell out of here." deimos said. I guess i don't have a choice. I followed him to the armory. But we couldn't find the staff.

"Where the hell is it?" deimos asked. An orc entered the room. Holding my queen's staff.

"I saw that massacre in the throne room. You are quite the warrior…but i digress. Is this what you're looking for?" the orc asked. He handed deimos my queen's staff.

"Why are you helping us?" deimos asked.

"The queen's promise to us…i don't know if she was actually going to keep her word…but her promise is what kept me sane during the time i've dealt with this curse…"the orc said. Deimos raised an eyebrow. The orc left the room. "Farewell. Next time we meet. Don't hesitate to kill me…the curse will have taken me by then." the orc said as he left the room.

"Curse? What was he talking about?" i asked.

"I don't know…we should ask my queen about it." i replied.

The dungeon/ deimos pov.

Me and chloe arrived in the dungeon. After reaching the cell olga was in. i slashed at the door. And then kicked it. It became several pieces on the floor.

"Those blades of yours are quite sharp." olga said.

"It's time to leave." i said. After making our way through the tunnel we used to get in. but as we looked upon the black throne. We were ambushed by flying imps and orcs lead by hicks.

"You made a bad choice deimos. You could have been a part of something great. But now. You have to die here." hicks said.

"Oh yeah. Turning eostia into a paradise for pigs is so great…and besides you should have seen this coming. I made it no secret that i hate every single one of you horny idiots. And it was taking a lot of my willpower to not go on a killing spree. It's a miracle this didn't happen sooner." i said.

"Shame…alright. Tear him apart. And bring those hot elves back." hicks ordered the flying imps flew in. i threw my sword up. Slicing a lot of them as it spins. Once rebellion landed back in my hand i quickly slashed another imp. It went spinning off the cliff.

"You didn't bring enough monsters hicks." i said with a grin. I heard olga chanting. And soon. I found myself from a dead wasteland into the middle of a forest. "Ok. we'll do it your way then." i said. Olga soon fell to her knees. I helped her up. "Easy there. Whatever fucked up your magic did a good job. Don't push yourself like this." i said. Earning a smile of gratitude from both elves.

"It's rare that a human shows such care for us." olga said.

"I'm not like the other of my kind…discrimination is vile and stupid in my eyes." I said. After helping olga up. I looked around trying to find where we are. And i saw a castle far in the distance. One with a familiar logo.

"Looks like we're a few days away from feoh. The princess knights need to know about the kuroinu betrayal asap. And as for you two…i'll say it was a mission from celestine. She wasn't able to say that she wanted peace with you during the meeting. So now's a good time as any. I suppose." i said.

"Very well. Lead on sir deimos." olga said.

"And don't try anything funny…deimos." chloe said.

"Actually calling him by his name? My my chloe. Seems like he's earned your respect." olga teased.

"I'm not calling him human. Because I have no clue what he his…the kind of carnage he caused in our throne room was not something that could have been done by a human." chloe said. Her voice has an ounce of fear.

"...I should get some cleaners for my throne room. Shouldn't i?" olga asked. Me and chloe nodded. There was a big mess in her throne room. After a bit of walking and dealing with the bandits and the wildlife that dwells within this forest. I heard a thud. And turned around to see that olga tripped and sprained her ankle.

"My queen! Are you alright!?" chloe yelled worried.

"Looks like she sprained her ankle." I looked up to see the sun setting. "It's gonna be dark soon…might as well set up camp now." I said. After setting up camp. I went to a nearby pond. I took my clothes and got in. the blood that I was covered in quickly came off. I was about to get out. But i soon felt something bite my leg .i shoved my hand in the water. And pulled out a huge fish. "Bad choice of food big guy." i said with a grin. I got out of the pond. Snapped up a new set of clothes. As i returned. I saw olga trying to use magic to heal up a sprain. She's clearly not getting good results. I sighed.

"Chloe can you cook this up? I'll tend to the queen's wound." i said. Chloe looked at me suspiciously. But olga gave her a look that said to trust me.

"Fine." chloe said as she took the fish. And began to cook it. I went to the pond again. And dipped a towel in it. The water in this pond is cold. So it should help with a sprained ankle. After that i headed back and rubbed the wet towel on olga's leg. She let out yelp of pain.

"Sorry. But your just going to wear yourself out trying to use your magic. Your magic is completely fubar right now. So try to hold out until it's restored." i said. After that. I messaged her ankle. Which earned an hiss and a moan. After messaging her leg. I wrapped the cold towel around it. And held it with bandages. Some cold and compression should heal her ankle in no time. After that. The fish was done. I was expecting my portion to be poisoned but no. it was actually pretty good.

"My compliments to the chief." i said with a grin.

"I-i didn't make it for you…" chloe said with a blush. Ok tsundere elf.

"...why did you save us? If you sided with vault. You could have done anything you wanted to me and chloe. And any women else so why?" olga asked.

"...when my swords first tasted legion blood…I vowed that I wouldn't let those monsters do as they please. I fought the legion to stop this madness. To stop the violence. The pillaging. The rape. If i sided with vault…i would have thrown everything that i believe in away…just for the sake of never ending sex…i would have become the very thing i hate…a dirty pig." i said. They looked at me in surprise.

"That was rather…passionate." chloe said.

"So…you don't find us attractive?" olga asked. Clearly teasing me. Unfortunately for her. Teasing doesn't work with me.

"Oh course i do. You're both extremely sexy…but i want my first time to be something both me and my partner will enjoy." i said. Both olga and chloe looked at me with wide eyes. "What?" i asked.

"Your a virgin?" olga asked.

"Yeah…I kept that info to myself though. Didn't want to give those pigs more ammo to annoy me with…but I digress…we should get some shut eye…gonna be a long day tomorrow." i said. We all grabbed a sleeping bag. And fell asleep…though I had an unpleasant nightmare.

I saw the throne room. As bloody and corpse filled as when i left it. But vault's corpse…it started to give off black flames. He stood back up like a zombie. The wound i gave quickly healed. And i saw that his eyes were glowing red. And his body was covered in some bizarre tattoos. He whispered my name…and then yelled it to the roof.

"What the fuck!?" i yelled as i woke up.

"Why are you yelling so early?" chloe asked. As she rubbed her eyes.

"Sorry. Had a bad dream." I said.

"Mind telling us." olga asked.

"Vault…he got back up…but what was bizarre was that he gave off black flames. And had red eyes and had these bizarre tattoos." i said. Olga looked at me in surprise…"you know something about this. Don't you?" I asked.

"...i'll explain after we arrive to feoh…i just hope your nightmare was just that…a nightmare." olga said. She was afraid. And just like her. I'm hoping it was just a nightmare…but i have feeling it wasn't….i can't shake this horrible feeling….that something very evil will soon find us.
