Aaron, “how are we going to defeat these guys?”
[Enea, “I don’t know.”]
Kris, “we should have let Aaron continue to fight through them like that.”
Aaron, “No that is not something that would not be good.”
Laee, “Why?”
Aaron, “lets just say its something that happens to my family when they build up anger, it’s kind of explosive and uncontrollable.”
[Enea, “That sounds like a usual berserker.”]
Aaron, “lets just say that for now since it’s hard to talk about.”
Laee, “Watch out!”
One of the demons ran at Aaron with a battle-axe. Aaron barely paid attention to it as he drew his weapons while trying to clear his head. Laee began to cast a fire spell while Kris summoned her holly hammer. The demon was about to swing down its axe but was blocked by one of Aaron’s swords. As it pulled back its axe for another strike Kris brought down her hammer crushing it. She lifted her hammer reveling a bit of loot while turning to Aaron.
Kris, “You need to get your act together.”
She turned to another demon that was coming at them.
[Enea, “Don’t worry Aaron we’re here for you.”]
Aaron, “thanks.”
Laee finished casting her spell launching a number of fireballs into the growing number of Demons and undead. The resulting explosions sent a number of them flying or disintegrating.
Kris, “Is that all you could do Laee.”
Laee, “As if you could do better.”
Kris just laughed and turned to the oncoming enemy and unleashed holly wave destroying a number of undead and a few demons.
Laee, “I need a drink.”
Aaron, “This is not the time for that you two! We need to find a way to close those portals.”
[Enea, “there should be summoning runes on the ground beneath them.”]
Aaron quickly looked back where the first portal had appeared to summon Mot. There was a partially destroyed magic circle from the mage.
Aaron, “Well if we could destroy the magic circles we may still have a chance to turn this situation around.“
Another group of the demons and undead started to head towards them. Aaron quickly used fire blade and charged forward to meet the first one. Laee began casting another spell while Kris fallowed Aaron with her holly hammer.
As Aaron reached the first demon he blocked one of its swords while aiming his other sword at its throat but was blocked. He quickly stepped back as another demon lunged forward with a spear but deflected it over his shoulder. Aaron quickly spun cutting off the demons left arm and into its side.
The first demon lunged forward but stopped as Kris swung her hammer at it forcing it to the ground. It turned to her as Aaron finished off the spear wielder taking off its head. He quickly turned to the first demon that was facing Kris.
Kris brought her hammer down again forcing the demon to back peddle into Aarons reach. Aaron quickly stabbed through the demons back with one of his blades. As the sword’s tip came out of the demons chest its face contorted before disintegrating.
As he turned to find the next opponent Laee cast a number of fireballs at the undead surrounding the nearest portal. With the explosions opening a path Aaron quickly ran towards the portal to destroy the magic circle fallowed by Kris and Laee. Another demon stepped out of the portal as Aaron got close drawing its sword.
Aaron, “Kris destroy the circle I’ll take care of this one.”
Laee, “I’ll cover you.”
The demon brought its sword down at an angle but was blocked with one of his swords. Aaron quickly kicked the demon back causing it to stumble halfway into the portal as Kris brought her holly hammer down on the magic circle. The portal vanished taking one of the demons arms with it. The demon fell to its knees howling in agony covering the wound with its good arm.
Demon, “you’ll never win mortal, for the…”
Aaron decapitated the demon before it could finish what it was saying.
After the demon disintegrated two windows popped up as he was turning to the next portal.

Event Demonic war!
Mot’s Assault: 2/13 portals have been destroyed
Aaron, “just great there are eleven more portals!”
[Enea, “If we hurry we can get the help of the soldiers and Opals Pirates.”]
Laee, “Ah don’t say that wenches name.”
Kris, “There’s the Guard.”
At the end of the street a number of soldiers where charging at the demons and undead. The soldiers where easily taking the undead out but with the demons the guards and soldiers were being pushed back.
Aaron, “we need to get to them.”
Kris, “that’s going to be irritating.”
Aaron quickly headed towards the next portal with Kris and Laee following right behind him. A group of the undead lead by a demon moved to block their way. As they neared Aaron used shadow step to get behind the demon before using twin blades on the back of its legs. As it collapsed to the ground Kris used her holly hammer to crush it while Laee sent two fireballs into the undead.
Aaron quickly stepped over the disintegrating remains taking a few more steps towards the magic circle. He was nearing it when an arrow struck his armor bouncing off but still dropping his HP down a few points. Standing to the side of the street was a archer from Hercules’s guild readying another shot.
Laee quickly shot a lightning bolt from her glowing left arm at the player. The player was hit before he could get out of the way. Throwing him onto his back as Laee shot another two at him dropping his health the rest of the way.
Laee, “No one touches my Aaron!”
Kris, “No he’s mine you drunkard.”
[Enea, “no he’s mine! I meet him first.”]
Aaron, “this is not the time for arguing you guys.”
Aaron quickly used his sword to destroy a section of the magic circle to deactivate the portal. As it deactivated a few demons and undead turned to face them and started to try and surround them.
As Aaron was about to lung at the closest enemy Opal and a few pirates came out of an ally way and attacked them from the side taking out a few of the undead before the rest could notice that they where there.
Aaron took out a demon as Opal came to his side.
Opal, “Looks like you are having some fun my princes.”
Aaron, “No more then the usual.”
Opal, “If this is the usual I wonder what its like for you the rest of the time.”
She turned to cut off an undead’s arm as it was about to strike before kicking into its companions.
Aaron, “Well it didn’t use to be the usual until I meet the Goddesses.”
Opal, “Sounds like their trouble.”
Laee, “your one to talk wench.”
Opal, “Oh that coming from someone who is always drunk.”
Laee, “I’m not always drunk!”
Kris, “you are a drunk Laee but now is not the time.”
Kris crushed another undead with her hammer while Aaron pulled his swords from a disintegrating demon. They where almost to the soldiers when the demons broke away from the mass and ran down a near by ally. They quickly mopped up the undead with the assistance of the soldiers.
Aaron, “we have ten more portals left.”
Opal, “there are a few down towards the docks that I noticed my men are holding there position there.”
Soldier Captain, “there are a few more towards the city’s main gate and city hall.”
Kris, “we need to make sure they don’t take the gates.”
Aaron, “I’ll head for the gates then City Hall.”
Opal, “what about the docks!?”
Aaron, “take a few soldiers down there and destroy the portals there.”
A pirate stepped up next to Opal.
Pirate, “Why not the docks then work our way to the gates?”
Aaron, “we don’t have the time for going after one at a time. The best we can do before the city can be fully over run is deactivating as many as we can.”
Kris, “That is the right Idea but wouldn’t that spread our forces to thin.”
Aaron turned to Kris with irritation, “We are going to only split our forces into three groups. One will destroy the gates at the docks and hold them. The second will go to the gates destroying any portals along there path and hold it. The third which I’ll be leading will go after the gates between here and city hall.”
Kris, “but…”
Aaron, “yes we are spread thin but we have to hold this city.”
Kris, “Alright.”
Kris turned to the soldiers and told them to head for the gate while opal talked to her pirates along with a few soldiers. The two groups headed for their targets leaving Aaron, Kris, Laee, four soldiers and Opal.
Aaron, “Opal why aren’t you going to the docks to help your men?”
Laee stepped between Aaron and Opal, “Yah we don’t need you wench! Go to your precious ship.”
Opal, “I can’t just leave you alone, besides my men can handle themselves.”
Aaron, “Thanks we could use the help.”
Kris, “ah just great a drunkard and a sea wench.”
Aaron, “We don’t have time for this.”
[Enea, “I don’t like this either but Aaron’s right we don’t have much time right now if we are to hold the city.”]
[Laee, and Kris, “Fine!”]
They quickly ran through the city destroying three portals as they headed towards city hall. Aaron checked the event window and noticed that the other groups had destroyed five others leaving only two more.
Aaron's group stopped as they neared the square in front of the city hall. He quickly looked around the corner seeing the two gates surrounded by undead and demons with more still poring out. At the steps up to the building stood Mot and a massive demon like the one he faced a while back. Beside them where the last six members of Hercules’ guild.
Mot, “This is most irritating, you adventures are useless.”
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Massive demon, “Can I eats’ them.”
Mot turned to it before answering, “no we still have a use for them even if they are amateurs.”
Player, “We will do anything you require of us.”
Mot, “You say that even though you have failed at the only task given to you.”
Player, “We did not expect that Aaron and his woman to be so formidable.”
Mot, “They are only pests that need to be exterminated as the great lord commands.”
Aaron quickly turned back to his group trying to think of a way to destroy the portals and defeat Mot.
[Enea, “Laee could you begin casting fire storm on the square.”]
[Laee, “Yes I’ll start right now but you’ll owe me for this.”]
[Aaron, “That’s a good Idea and Kris could you give us some buffs then support us with healing and a few holly waves.”]
[Kris, “That sounds easy is there anything else you want me to do, my precious.”]
[Aaron, “just cover Laee and if things go south could you two make an opening for us to get out?”]
[Kris, “What do you mean when things go south!?”]
[Aaron, “It’s a figure of speech for if we are in a bad situation and we need to get out or some help.”]
[Kirs, “then why did you not just say that then?”]
[Aaron, “what ever.”]
Aaron noticed that Opal was looking at him with a worried expression.
Opal, “you have been quiet what’s the matter?”
Aaron, “I was just strategizing with the Laee, Kris and Enea.”
Opal, “Well what’s the plan?”
Aaron, “We’ll take the lead heading for the closest portal with the soldiers taking the rear while Kris and Laee will be support.”
Opal stared at the ground for a moment, “Well that sounds fine…”
Mot, “I know your out there Aaron so come out and face me.”
Everyone looked at Aaron as he turned pail before stepping around the corner.
Mot, “Ah there you are, I see that you destroyed the rest of the portals.”
Aaron, “It looks like your losing Mot.”
Mot, “oh not at all its only a minor set back and as long as we have one portal we will still win. So give…”
Right then Laee’s firestorm activated with fireballs raining from the sky crashing into the mass of undead and demons. Many where sent flying while the rest ran for cover or jumped back through the portals. Mot stared at the chaos then turned and marched into city hall with the six players following him. The large demon was hit a few times but did not faze it as it stared Aaron down.
The army of undead and demons continued to be pounded for ten minutes with one of the portals magic circles being destroyed leaving only one. As the firestorm slowed Aaron ran out with opal at his side along with the rest of his group right behind him.
They hacked through the undead and demons that where scattered as they headed for the remaining portal. The massive demon moved to cut them off lifting a massive cleaver like sword. Aaron quickly activated fire blade and used shadow step to get behind it while the rest of his group quickly spread out around the demon.
It brought down its sword towards Opal but missed as she stepped to the side. She quickly ran up its arm while Aaron began using twin blade on its back and legs. The demon fell to one knee while trying to swat Opal off him. Soon Aaron noticed that the wounds he was inflicting on the demon where regenerating moments after they are inflicted.
Aaron, “watch out it regenerates!”
Opal jumped off it as Laee launched a fireball at its face. It struck forcing him to fall backwards. Aaron quickly grabbed his demonic blade out and lunged for its neck with opal doing the same thing on the other side of the demon. The four soldiers where busy holding off a few undead that had worked their way towards them.
As the demon began to try and get up Aaron and Opal used twin blades while hacking away at its neck until it was almost severed. As they where close to finishing their gory assault the demon disintegrated leaving loot behind. Aaron quickly grabbed it and ran the rest of the way to the portal and destroyed the magic ring.
Event Demonic War!
Mots Assault: portals destroyed 13/13
Opal, “finally its finished.”
Aaron, “Not yet there is still Mot.”
Kris, “Not to mention what ever remains of the undead and demon forces that are still in the city.”
Laee, “I want a drink.”
Aaron, “later we need to face Mot.”
[Enea, “Be carful Aaron remember what happened last time.”]
[Aaron, “I will and please forget about… never mind.”]
Aaron quickly ran up the steps into city hall and looked around. There was a large wooden desk in front of him while a table was to his left with some chairs. To the right of the desk was some chairs and a long hallway. He quickly moved forward with his swords ready while Opal, Laee and Kris came in behind him. He checked the desk finding a dead npc as it disintegrated into loot. Opal was looking down the hall as he left the desk to join her.
Aaron, “What’s all back there.”
Kris, “well there are a number of room but Mot most likely headed for either the library or the meeting hall.”
Laee, “well lets get this over with.”
They quickly walked down the hall heading for the library first since it was the closest. They ran into a group of undead but dispatched them with ease. Once at the library they didn’t find anything besides shelves pushed over and books scattered about.
Opal, “looks like a storm has been through here.”
Laee, “or someone that just hates books.”
Kris, “just great this library was nicely organized this morning.”
Aaron turned around to head out to the hall, “well he’s not here, let’s keep looking.”
They continued to walk through the building not running into anything as they neared the meeting hall. The door was closed so Aaron had his group move to the sides of the door while he opened it. As the door was about a foot open an arrow flew past Aarons head and down the hall. He threw the door the rest of the way open and rolled behind a bench.
Mot, “Ah so you’ve managed to eliminate the rest of my forces outside most impressive for a mortal.”
Aaron looked over the bench’s edge to see mot sitting in a thrown at the end of the hall with a book in hand. The six players where arranged around the room. Two archers were halfway down the room standing with arrows nocked. A mage and a knight where near Mot while a rouge and another knight where hiding behind near by benches.
He quickly put his swords in their sheaths before bringing out his bow and drawing and arrow back.
“There wasn’t much to it Mot, your forces are disorganized.”
Mot laughed, “true but neither where you pest.”
Aaron jumped to his feet and shot an arrow through one of the archer’s eyes before getting back down while setting another arrow. Laee quickly launched a fireball at the rouge and knight blowing them away with the bench.
Mot, “Oh come now we where having a little chat.”
Aaron, “who would talk to the likes of you.”
Aaron quickly ran to another bench while shooting another arrow into the last archer. Kris and Opal ran into the room and hid behind the bench that Aaron was just at. Mot tossed his book aside and got up as he began to cant a spell while the mage and Knight ran forward. Aaron shot an arrow at Mot but it turned to the side a few feet from its target.
Aaron quickly put away his bow and drew his swords back out as a fireball from Laee hit the mage that was now chanting his own spell. He flew backwards nocking a statue over. Opal ran at the knight as Aaron passed the disintegrating mage. Mot began to rush his chanting while drawing a sword to face Aaron.
He quickly thrust his sword at Mots stomach but was deflected to the side. Mot brought his sword around at Aaron’s side as he jumped back while blocking with his swords.
Opal was having a hard time with the knight as Kris went up behind him with her holly hammer and brought it down on his head. He collapsed to the ground as Opal’s blades tore through his flesh until his health bar was empty.
Laee was running across the room to help Aaron as Mot finished his chanting and a portal opened beside him. He quickly turned and stepped through it laughing. Aaron charged forward as it was closing and jumped through.
Laee, “Aaron No!”
The portal closed behind him leaving Laee, Kris and opal staring at where he vanished.
__ _ __
Aaron landed on hard rock rolling to his feet. He was standing on a rock ridge a few feet away from Mot. The sky was a deep purple filled with dark black clouds. Off in the distance was a dead forest and a volcano.
Mot turned around to face him, “Oh fallen you really are a fool to have followed me here.”
Aaron began to worry, “And why is the Mot.”
Mot laughed, “Let me welcome you to the netherworld fallen.”
[Enea, “You need to get out of there Aaron.”]
[Aaron, “And how can I do that!?”]
[Laee, “Aaron where are you!”]
[Enea, “he’s in the netherworld.”]
[Kris, “you Idiot you should not have followed him.”]
Aaron just stared at Mot as he gazed out over the landscape.
[Aaron, “so how can I get out of here then.”]
[Enea, “that’s going to be hard, since we don’t have the necessary spells we will have to find a nether gate or make a deal with one of the demons here.”]
[Aaron, “do you really expect me to make a deal with one let alone getting away from him.”]
[Enea, “I was only giving you the options I know of.”]
[Kris, “it would take some time but I could try and reopen the portal that you just went through.”]
[Aaron, “that’s better then the other options.”]
[Laee, “There’s a problem with your plan Kris.”]
[Kris, “and what would that be!”]
[Enea, “You don’t have the necessary tools on you, do you.”]
[Kris, “your right that will add even more time before It could be opened.”]
Mot frowned a moment before turning to Aaron, “I really should get rid of you now before crazed shows up.”
Mot stepped forward swinging his sword down at Aaron as he blocked it with his swords. He was sent flying from the force rolling across the hard rock. He quickly got up and ran at Mot while activating shadow step to get to mots side ready to strike. But before he could swing he was punched with Mots open hand sending him flying back once again.
Mot, “Is this all you got fallen how disappointing.”
As Aaron was half way up off the ground Mot kicked him nocking the breath out of him and sending him a few feet away. Aaron was beginning to get back up again but stop, as Mot stood frozen looking the opposite way.
Aaron turned his gaze from Mot and noticed that there where more demons appearing around them. These ones look more human then mot and other’s that he has seen but they still had horn’s, tails, wings and a few with claws. There was even a female demon just on the other side of Mot.
[Enea, “Kraet!”]
[Aaron, “who’s that?”]
[Enea, “she’s one of the chosen that we are looking for.”]
[Kris, “did you just say Kraet!?”]
[Enea, “yes Kraet and some others just showed up.”]
[Kris, “That demon better not touch Aaron.”]
[Laee, “I would love to have a drink with her again.”]
Aaron stopped listening to them while trying to get a better look at Kraet. She had long black purple hair similar to what the Japanese call the hime style hair cut. Her armor was similar to Aaron’s armor but had a Japanese style to it that was a black with red stripes. At her waist were two swords and an empty sheaf. In her hand was a sword that looked like a cross between a scimitar and a katana. Strapped to her fore arms where shuriken.

Kraet, “This is not your clans Territory Mot.”
Mot laughed, “So Crazed still hasn’t made his move yet, Oh well I’ll do it for him.”
Kraet, “what is it now Mot another of your threats. You now our clan is neutral to matters in the world.”
Mot, “Not anymore.”
Mot moved like a long blear streak at Kraet while the rest who tried to react where way to slow. Aaron activated shadow step and placed himself in front of Kraet his swords ready to strike. Mot was on top of him less then a second later stabbing his blade that was meant for Kraet’s heart into his stomach.
Aaron dropped on of his swords to hold onto Mots rist while he drove his other blade towards Mots heart but missed as his vision blurred from his health bar continuing to fall into the red 20% remaining of health. His blade still drove into Mots chest piercing one of his lungs.
Mot yelled in pain then spat up some blood, “You got me this time kid but don’t expect this a second time.”
Mot along with his sword turned into black smoke before vanishing into the wind. Aaron stood there a moment longer he health dropping slower now. He used his shaking hand to try and grab a health potion from his pouch but could not get a good hold as he began to fall backwards.
Kraet grabbed him as he was falling and slowly laid him on the ground. The other demons where moving towards him with their swords still ready. He continued to fumble for the potion until he saw Kraet’s face above him.
Kraet, “Who are you warrior?”
Aaron coughed some blood, “I’m Aaron…”Cough, “Enea’s Chosen.”
Aaron’s voice and only Kraet could hear it. As his vision began to turn black his health bar flashing at him she grabbed his potion and pored it in his mouth raising his health to the yellow but his vision still turned to black.
Kraet, “your safe with me chosen.”
