Kris and the guards quickly ran for the gangplank heading for the gates.

Aaron, “We need to head for the gate to.”

Opal, “I need to stay with my crew and organize repairs.”

Laee, “Good stay with your ship.”

Opal, “Hay I would love to go with you but I have things that need to get done.”

Aaron, “No problem but if the city falls we need to have another option.”

Laee was already running after Kris when Aaron turned to go.

Opal, “Take care my little princess.”

Aaron, “I’m not… ah what ever, Stay safe.”

Aaron quickly ran after Laee and Kris who where already at the end of the dock waiting for him. Opal watched the three work their way further into the city before giving out orders to her crew.

Aaron was running down the cities streets with Laee, Kris, and a few of the guards. They passed people fleeing or locking down their homes and shops. Soon they could hear screams as they neared the city walls.

One of the guards that was ahead of them rounded the corner and was soon flying through the air in front of the rest of the group. They all stopped as the man landed disintegrating from his chest being crushed in.

Aaron quickly drew his blades as a large demon leading a number of undead and a few other demons. I had huge ram horns and most of its body was covered in fur along with the demons massive arms.

Demon, “Finally some more easy pray.”

Aaron quickly used Fire Blade and started to run at the demon. The demon raised a large mace to strike at Aaron. As the mace began to come down at him he used shadow step to get behind the demon on its back to slash at its neck. He continued to strike before activating twin blade. His blades cut deeply into its neck causing it to yell out in pain.

Aaron had just finished his attack when he noticed one of its hands was grabbing at him. He jumped but was to slow as the demons hand grabbed his leg and throw him through the air.

He was starting to fall when Kris caught him. He wondered how that was possible when he saw massive glowing wings behind her back.

[Aaron, “beautiful.”]

[Enea and Laee, “Aaron!”]

Kris, “You sure are a reckless one.”

Aaron, “sorry.”

She glided to the grown as Laee began tossing fireballs at the demons face. As the third one struck the demon fell back onto the undead that had been fallowing it crushing a number of them. Aaron ran towards them as Kris used Holy Wave on them. Due to the holy magic most of the undead disintegrated while the demon had burns appear all over his body.

Demon, “Ahhhh that burns!”

Kris, “well there is more where that came from.”

It began to get up as Aaron began to hack at its knees. The demon swatted at him but missed as Aaron jumped back. It was finally up on its knees when Laee fired a fireball at its face. Roaring in irritation and being blinded it shook its head. As the smoke disappeared from the attack Kris was already in the air having activated Holy Hammer. In her hands was a massive glowing war hammer. She slammed it against the side of the demons face sending it falling into one of the building on the side of the street.

It disintegrated leaving demon horns and loot. Aaron quickly ran up and grabbed it before facing the undead that the guards where already facing. Aaron was soon hacking his way through the undead until he came upon another demon that was about to strike one of the guardsmen.

Aaron quickly used shadow step to block the strike. This demon was wearing armor similar to those of a old samurai. It sword even looked like a katana. It brought back its sword preparing to strike at Aaron.

Shadow step has leveled up!

He quickly nocked the attack aside before striking at its arm. It blocked with one of its gauntlets sending Aaron back a few steps. It was soon swinging the sword again with both of its hands. He quickly ducked under its swing and activated his fireball spell sending it into its face. The explosion sent the demon flying onto its back while burning some of Aarons skin.

Kris activated blessing healing Aaron and the guardsmen. He quickly ran forward and slit the demons throat, as it lay stunned from the attack. It disintegrated leaving some coins and its sword.

You have leveled up!

Aaron quickly grabbed the loot from the attackers before running for the gate. Soon they where once again hacking and slashing through the undead. Soon the gate was in sight but there was a massive amount of undead poring in fighting what remained of the gates guard or working their way further into the city.

Aaron, “This is going to be a tuff one.”

Laee, “We’ve been through worse.”

Aaron, “Well you might have but this is even more then the ones I faced inside the old temple.”

Kris, “Don’t worry this is nothing for us.”

Aaron, “Great that means I can rest while you handle it.”

[Enea, Laee and Kris, “Oh no you don’t your helping us since all our lives are on the line.”]

Aaron, “Well how do you plan on closing the gates?”

Kris, “Well I’m not sure.”

Laee, “With the power of mead!”

[Enea and Kris, “Shut it Laee!”]

Aaron quickly ran towards the undead as the rest of his group ran after him. He quickly activated shadow step to get in the middle of the undead mass coming through the gate. He decapitated two of the undead causing the rest to turn and face him as their companions disintegrated.

Laee yelled, “Don’t get to far ahead Aaron its dangerous.”

Kris, “you moron get back here!”

As they got in closer to him he activated whirlwind. As he spun he aimed at decapitating them but did not get all of them as they flew back disintegrating or crashing to the ground. Aaron quickly began striking at them before they could get up. Soon as he was finishing the ones that had fallen the next wave of undead was on him. He quickly thru a fireball at one of them before facing another and began hacking away and blocking their slow shambling attacks.

As he was about to strike an undead another Katana blocked his attack. Aaron turned to face another demon in samurai armor. It was already bring up its sword in front of it pointing at Aaron. Aaron began to try and strike at the demon but was forced to block with both of his blades.

While Aaron was blocking the strike the undead near him began to hit him one after another.

Demon, “well well you aren’t that much of a match for me.”

Aaron, “oh really.”

Aaron quickly activated Whirlwind again taking out the undead but was blocked by the demon. He quickly fallowed up with another shadow step the get behind the demon striking at one of its shoulders but was again blocked.

Demon, “Nice trick but I can move just as fast.”

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

The demon swung his sword and Aaron blocked with both of his swords. As the full force of the strike struck one of his swords it shattered sending pieces at Aaron and the demon. He quickly jumped back dropping the disintegrating sword handle.

Aaron, “Just great that sword was a nice blade!”

Demon, “your time up now fallen.”

The demon was about to lung forward to strike Aaron but instead jumped to the side as lightning landed in between them. This gave him time to get out one of his swords that he got at the temple.

Aaron, “thanks Laee.”

Laee and Kris walked up beside him facing the demon that now had a number of undead with him.

Laee, “it was nothing but you where quite stupid in jumping into the middle of their group.”

Aaron, “Oh that was stupid, then what about when you jumped of the wall to face the bandits back…”

Laee, “that did not count I was drunk then.”

Kris, “you are always drunk Laee.”

Laee, “hay I have not had much to drink for a while now.”

The demon pointed his sword at them.

Demon, “I will give your heads to my mast…”

Laee fired a fireball at him causing an explosion that sent the undead flying but the demon just stood there smoking.

Demon, “Now that was not…”

Kris activated Holy Hammer crushing him to the ground. Her hammer disappeared revealing the demon as it tried to rise.

Demon, “it is not that easy…”

Aaron finished him off by cutting his head cleanly off. The demons body disintegrated once again leaving loot.

The tree turned to the gates to facing the undead that where poring in.

Aaron, “Laee could you block the gate with a Fire Wall spell.”

Laee, “yes that’s fine but it won’t hold forever. “

She began to cast the spell while Aaron turned to Kris.

Aaron, “Kris can you heal us and then use holy wave on the undead.”

Kris huffed before answering, “That’s fine.”

Aaron “thanks.”

Aaron quickly led the remaining guards to attack the undead. Laee’s firewall blocked anymore undead from coming in while Kris holy magic weakened the undead. Aaron was soon hacking his way through the undead with the guards.

As he neared the firewall two large black monstrous dogs jumped through the flames. Aaron looked at their health bars and name. They where boss level monsters called death hounds.

Aaron, “just great Death hounds! What else could go wrong!?”

From the other side of the fire Aaron could hear a voice.

Crazed, “Ah if it isn’t my little toy.”

Aaron, “I should not have said anything.”

Crazed, “I’ll be with you in a minute since it seems I have just received some company.”

Kris, “Guards get the gates we’ll handle these two.”

Laee was already throwing fireballs at the Death hounds. Aaron quickly ran towards the dogs bringing his swords up to his sides. As he neared them Kris used slow on them before using buffs on Aaron.

The closest Hound lunged at him as he leaned back and slid along the ground. The hound flew over him receiving multiple attacks as he activated twin blades. As soon as he was behind the hound he jumped up to face the next one charging at him.

Aaron quickly sidestepped it slicing at its legs as it passed. The two rounded on him and where beginning to circle him as another wave of fireballs rained down on them. Kris activated Holy Hammer and ran up behind one and repeatedly slammed it down on the hound.

The first hound turned to face its partner that was being crushed giving an opening to Aaron. He quickly ran forward and activated twin blades to hack at the hound’s legs.

The hound jumped back as his attack finished snarling with its sharp teeth showing. Aaron waited as the hound charged at him once again. He quickly jumped up onto the hounds back and began to repeatedly stab into the hounds back and sides.

Whimpering and whining the hound tried to shake him off its back but failed in its attempts. Aaron was still stabbing away while looking at the beasts health drop even lower. Soon the hound tried to crush him by rolling over onto his back but only forced the blades to go deeper into its back dropping the last of its health.

You have leveled up!

It disintegrated leaving loot onto of him. Getting up he grabbed the Loot while watching the other hound be struck by fireballs and a holy hammer.

[Aaron, “this makes me think of animal cruelty.”]

[Kris, “what are you whining about you just finished off the other so could you give us a hand here.”]

[Laee, “You owe me some mead.”]

[Enea, “Get your own drunkard.”]

Aaron walked over to the other hound while they continued to talk back and forth to each other in his head. As he neared the hound it tried to escape the other two but was stopped as one of Aarons sword went through its eye into its skull. As he drew out his sword the eye popped causing blood to spill out. Slowly the hound began to disintegrate.

Aaron quickly picked up the loot and turned to the gate that was not being held almost shut by the guardsmen with undead arms sticking through the small opening. Aaron quickly ran up and began hacking the arms out of the doorway while Laee and Kris grabbed a long board to put on the gate. Soon they managed to get the gate closed and locked. The three of them stood there panting while the guards grabbed more beams and boards to help hold the gate.

Aaron, “That was a close one.”

Laee, “could we get something to drink now?”

Kris, “No Laee, and thanks for the help you two.”

Aaron, “No Problem.”

They stood there for a moment more when they heard crazed again.

“Oh little toy why did you close to gate on me.”

Aaron, “I am going to kill that guy.”

Kris, “Who is that and why does he call you toy?!”

Aaron, “long story.”

They quickly climbed up through the gatehouse to reach the top of the wall. As they looked out they could see a large mass of Undead and demons.

Crazed, “Oh toy why don’t we have some fun. I’m done playing with your reinforcements out here.”

Crazed was near the gate holding onto a unconscious female mages hair. In some around him where a few fallen soldiers rising up as undead while further out in the mass of undead there where small groups of soldiers fighting for their lives.

Kris, “No Rachael!”

Crazed, “Oh you know this little play thing. Well I’ve made her a proper obedient toy now and will have my fun with her later tonight.”

Kris, “Oh no your not!”

Kris’s wings appeared again and she flew down at Crazed with Laee gliding down right after her.

Aaron, “wait you two, ah great here we go again!”
