“Masssstterrrr. We have located the knights and the priest.” said a creature of unknown origin; clad in black skin tight clothes, wearing only a white face mask with two holes for the eyes. The creature lurked around a grand throne. Absolute darkness lit by only the moonlight would be the best way to describe the throne hall that lay in ruins and despair.
“Unleash the horde.” A dark voice rippled through the air. Just as the mysterious voice echoed in the dilapidated halls, an equally mysterious templar appeared sitting on the throne. The master of the minion, a grand templar knight clad in shining metallic armor towering over two meters in height appeared on the throne as the moonlight fell upon it.
“Massstterr. All of them?” the small creature asked out of disbelief.
The templars eyes shined red, if one could see his face they would have sworn he smiled. “Yes. unleash them all......MUAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaha.” The templar broke off into an evil laughter.
“Kukukukuku.” laughed the minion along side. It was like watching the royal road horror version of Dr Frankenstein and his hunchback assistant.
The knights and the priest would never see it coming.

The lonely moonlight streamed into a dark room. It’s silver light revealing the commotion plaguing the room inside. Two men hurriedly removed all the books they could from the shelves and into the trunk.
“Have we got everything?” Asked a young knight armed in white mythril armour. On his pure white armor there was a single badge of three initials: RRL. He peered out the window sensing a disturbance.
“Yes.” answered a priest, as he packed in the last bits of papers into a metal trunk. The priest wore long white robes which gleamed in the silver moonlight. The priest then took out chains from his inventory and a massive lock. While he was applying the locks to the trunk someone knocked on the door.A second knight entered the room, dressed in the same uniform as the first. “We need to go soon. They are almost upon us.”
“Already, Sunny?” Asked the first knight who helping the priest with the locks.
“So soon?” the priest asked with shock.

“We don’t have much time. Hurry Grisia!” Sunny replied as he ran towards the window hearing an explosion. “Haikai! get the horses ready, they are here.”
The priest Grisia and knight Haikai both wore grave looks on their faces. Hell had been set loose upon them.

“Run!” Screamed Grisia as he led the way. Haikai and Sunny, checked the backs, the horde was right behind them.
“Dammit! Can’t these horses go any faster?” Haikai asked in frustration. He was whipping them as much as he could, urging them, begging them, to go as fast as they could. But it was to no avail. All efforts were futile compared to the horde of leechers trailing them.
Grisia jumped off the wagon. “GO!”
“What are you doing?” Haikai turned back and shouted.
“Just go!” Grisia said as he stood his ground.
“Give my regards to Cat.” he said as he drew his staff out.
“Noooo!” Screamed Sunny. But it was too late. The distance between the two was too great to be covered. Even if they turned back there would be no saving Grisia.
Grisia stood up straight, wiping off the dirt of his white majestic robes. ‘Well then, might as well go out in style.’ he thought to himself.
“You shall not pass me!” Grisia roared as he held up his white staff. His eyes burned with feverish determination, he was ready to take them all down, even if it meant at the cost of his own life. As Sunny looked back, he could see a bright light engulf where Grisia stood before it all went dark.
