"The world was created a long time ago by the three gods, and each of those three then went to his own place. The first, Elkoim, and The Second, Garvil, created us, the Humans, the Dwarfs, The Elves and many other races. The third god, Likue, created nothing and was engulfed in his research of the world. The humanoid races, such as Elves, Dwarfs and Humans and a few more, were united under one empire. The Monster races, such as Shapeshifers, Demons and Orcs and their brethren, were jealous of our empire and started a war. But the war was so intense that it hindered Likue in his work, He then went out to the world to speak to both sides so they would stop the war but neither of them listened to him and he was driven out. In his rage, he intended to erase them all, but stopped only by the intervention of two other gods, who wanted to protect their crea-", A sudden noise in the darkness made the soldier stop the story. "why did you stop? continue the story" asked one of the newer soldiers by the campfire, "I thought I heard some kind of a noise out there", "probably some kind of an animal", "but we are on the border with the monster empire, and we don't know what kind of monsters they have here.." The soldier replied. One of the more experienced soldiers stood up "I'll go check with the guards" he said and left the circle of light around the campfire. The soldier, Jack, whose, story was interfered, tried to remember where he stopped, the other soldiers, which were made from humans, dwarfs and elves, waited for him to start again and one of them, a newbie girl named Shirl, stood up and brought him a chicken's leg, he nodded in gratitude and was about to continue when suddenly an object was sent flying into the fire, Jack dropped the food and drew out his sword, all the soldiers followed him, but while for some it took less then a second, for others it took a few seconds. Jack looked at the object and recognized it as the head of the soldier who went out, the head was cut off at the base of the neck and had a horrible frightened expression, some of the newer soldiers made a disgusted noise but Jack and the more experienced soldiers formed a circle around the campfire "We are under attack", "Start the alarm", "monsters are coming from the north", they could hear the yells from the northern side of the camp, but the voices were replaced by horrible screams and the newer soldiers shivered in fear, "Kick the ground as hard as you can, it will make most of your fear to disappear" yelled one of the veteran soldiers and did it as an example, everyone followed him and felt a bit stronger. "I Hope it just Orcs and weak demons, if they have one of the stronger demons or a few shapeshifters we are doomed" said Jack in muffled voice, the few veteran soldiers around him nodded in agreement but one of them said "If they were able to breach us without the guards noticing it means they did brought here one of the stronger figures, normally it wouldn't happen", "Get into formation, and we need a few people to light the way so light a few torches" commanded Jack, as the highest position there was him, he had to command those soldiers to safety, "We need to go back and regroup with the other soldiers at the southern gate" he continued and so the group started marching. A Few minutes later they arrived at the gate but instead of other soldiers they found there piles and piles of dead bodies, most of them without heads, Jack stopped the group, he and the veterans realized that they were in deep shit, because the enemy had a medium ranked demon, and the human force didn't have any skilled warriors or magicians to deal with it. Suddenly something behind the pile of bodies started moving, and to the horror of the soldiers, it was a 3 meters demons, with long arms that reached the ground and huge horns growing from his head, he held a huge black sword in one hand and a dead body in the other. He looked around around for more enemies and noticed the group of soldiers, Jack and few other soldiers formed a line, "run to the eastern gate, there must be someone there, tell them the enemy has a Borlek here and we need reinforcements" screamed Jack to the rest of the group as the borlek started walking towards them. The group was about to turn around when another borlek, this time with an Axe, emerged from the darkness around them, he swung his axe and killed most of the soldiers in that one swing, the survivors formed two groups, one faced the borlek with the sword while the other faced the borlek with the Axe, one of the soldiers, by Jack's order, sneaked to the side and disappeared in the darkness. A few minutes later and only six soldiers were left standing, they all breathed heavily and were injured but the borleks didn't remain uninjured, one of them lost an arm and second had sword wounds all over his body. The morning sun rises up and lights a grotesque view, a camp full of dead bodies in piles, and on the northern side the heads of all the soldiers arranged in lines and skewered on their lances. The reinforcements that arrived shortly after the sun had risen up, were all speechless and only a dozen of soldiers were able to walk throughout the whole camp without vomiting at the views they saw, but what the force didn't know was that the monster force didn't retreat but went deeper into the empire's territory, and a few nights later a whole village, excluding a seven years old kid, was thoroughly massacred, the kid was found later, crying near his parents corpses, by the scouting force the city nearby requested, after a week without contact with the village.
