The rain had already stopped by the time she landed and the sun was spreading its rays all over, but nobody seemed to be approaching that place, nor did she showed any sign of waking up. A huge crater with smoke coming from all over it, maybe that was what was keeping all the folk away from it, they only watched from afar and moved on. Announcing the knights and other authorities about this incident, that was all they could do for they were too afraid to come close to it.
And so the day had quickly passed without any events and the nights started to grow more and more. The sky was clear with not even one cloud around, the moon was full and close enough to the planet to brighten that night up. The moon’s shine made the star light up as if it was her time to shine, she lighted the whole crater making it look as if some gates to another place have opened at its bottom.
Close to the crater a hooves of horses could be heard, getting closer and closer, until finally reaching the edge of the huge whole in the ground that was bright as the day. From those horses six men dismounted, each one armed to the teeth, except for one that was dressed in black with a white expressionless mask covering his face. One of them that had a shield like thing attached to his left gauntlet, it looked as if it was made from bright red dragon scales.
He knelt before the crater, smoke still coming up from its edges, he turned around towards the man with the mask “Get rid of the smoke!” he told the man.
The masked man moved forward to the crater, with the move of his hands strong wind started to blow, clearing the smoke and putting down any fire that was left around. “Its done Archeon.” with a distorted voice he responded back to the one that gave him the order.
Archeon had went back to the horses to pick a rope in order to go down in the crater “Varris you hold onto this rope for us, I will signal you when you pull us up.” he handed the head of the rope to a giant man, almost twice of his size. “Raiden you are coming with me, in case something shows up.” he addressed the one sitting to Varris, a tall elf in silver armor. He went over to the edge and threw the rope down the hole, without a moments notice Raiden already grabbed the rope, sliding down in it. “Zhan, Nikas make sure to survey the area properly, if anyone approaches let us know.” the last two, a man dressed like an assassin and one like an archer nodded their heads, with that Archeon jump from the edge of the crater head one, he didn’t even grab the rope.
It was quite a way down, Raiden had just made it to the bottom of it, he turned his head upwards and check if Archeon was coming and boom, in front of him a could of dust was made from Archeon’s landing “Damn, it must be nice doing that!” the elf was excited by what he just saw “You should let me know next time though, I’m all covered in dirt now.” he was trying to clean his hair of the dirt.
“We don’t have time for that now, let’s move fast. We are mostly then likely aren’t the only ones that are coming for this star.” he started to look around carefully for the source of the light. After a few minutes of walking they managed to find it, a girl radiating a light as bright as the sun, neither of the two men couldn’t even look at her. “Quick, let’s put her in this bag and head back!” Archeon grabbed a huge bag that he had on his back, with his eyes closed he grabbed the girl and quickly put her inside of it.
“What’s with this bag? There is no light coming out from it.” Raiden was surprised by this thing that you could see it on his face “Where did you get this thing Archeon?” but just a moment later “Oh, Helena made it, right?” his expression changed into a straight one as if he was dumb for even asking that.
Archeon just laughed at him as he grabbed the bag and putted it on his shoulder, he then tapped Raiden on the shoulder “Let’s go, the faster we are out of here the better.” both of them started running back to the rope, more like racing back than just running.
Raiden grabbed the rope first, circling it around his hand once, Archeon did the same thing, as soon as both of them were set Raiden pulled on the rope three times and both of them were being pulled up at such a high speed, it was almost as three horses were running.
Both of them made it back without any problem at all, maybe a bit of blindness from all the light, but nothing too serious. Varris had let go of the rope and went to check the those two as well as taking the bag from Archeon.
“Archeon, we’ve got guests.” Nikas pointed out in the sky, three figures were flying straight towards them at high speed, it was hard to tell who or what they were because of the distance. Nobody could tell what was that, but Nikas spotted them clearly for he was a panterian, he was used to hunting at night and his eyes could see farther than anyone that was with him “GET READY!” he shouted while drawing an arrow from his quiver that hanged around his waist “Those three are witches from the looks of it.”
All of them drew their weapons, preparing for combat “Archeon!” the mage shouted “We need to get out of here fast, I sense seven demons approaching us from the forest, they seem to be on a Lord level.” all of them almost froze for a moment.
In his mind Archeon couldn’t stop thinking “Demons? Here? How is that possible? I thought the gate between our world and theirs is closed.” he turned around to the mage and in a lower voice told him “Prepare a teleportation circle and be on standby to teleport us out on the first opening we have!”
Closer and closer the demons and witches were getting. The witches landed just a little to the right of Archeon’s squad, standing like 10 meters away while the demon stopped in front of them around 12 meters away.
“What do we have here a party? If I knew there’s going to be so many charming boys I would have dressed up properly.” a witch with blonde hair and dress in a red, revealing dress that was showing off her bodies figures quite well. She clearly did not look one of those old, ugly hags you’d from tales, but more like a very charming young lady.

“Oh, shut the hell up you damn slut. Even if you came naked and started waving your ass at them, they wouldn’t even make them get hard or anything. I’ll bet they’ll only get traumatized by how thirsty you are.” the witch that was sitting to the left replied back to the one in red dress in quite a harsh way. Like the previous one she had some outstanding figures and her black hair was caught in a ponytail behind her back. She was wearing a black dress which matched her hair perfectly. The dress was not as revealing as the previous one but just as elegant, at her waist she had two sheathed swords, by how thin they were Archeon assumed them to be Rapiers, but their handles were odd for they had no guards.
“Can the two of you shut the fuck up!?” the third witch seemed to grow tired of their argument, both of them stopping right away, she was dressed up as elegant as the other two, in her hand she was holding a scepter like thing with a glowing crystal at its top that was glowing green. Now she turned in Archeon’s direction “You, boy with the red arm, had us the star now and you shall only by roughed up a little by this two.” both of the two witches started laughing, the blond one was licking her lips while the other one pulled out one of her swords, it was a katana, not a rapier. “Of course, all of you will survive their treatment, probably.”
Before Archeon could even respond to them one of the demons stomped the ground, making quite a cracking sound “Seems like you are forgetting your place you wretched whores. You should bow before us and lick our feet for even giving you some powers to play with!” the demon seemed to get angry at the witches for demanding Archeon to hand over the star although they were present as well.
“Hahahaha, hear that girls? Some low life Lord level demon thinks he is some big shot and wants us to lick his feet.” the witches laughed so hard at the demons and it seemed to have an effect as the one that talked to them was getting angrier “How about you come over here and show us how good of a dog you are and start licking my cunt? If you do a good job and please me, I will personally let Master Argon know he has some good subjects.” the smile witch holding the scepter grew even more when she said the name of the demon they had a contract with.
“Filth, I will never understand out kings obsession with you three whores.” the demon was starting to feel disgusted by them, but couldn’t do anything to them yet for they had a different mission and because the one leading them had a thing for those three.
“Human, hand us over the star and I promise you that no harm will come, not only that but we shall make sure that those three will do nothing to any of you.” a demon girl stepped forward, coming closer to Archeon’s group, but stopping just a few meters away. She had messy blue hair, pale skin and red eyes with two small horns coming up from her forehead. As for her clothes, a really short black kimono with red lotuses on it that only covered around half of her thighs and had a wide opening to her cleavage, most of her body was quite visible cause of that, anyone could see the amount of tattoos she had all over her. Finally around her waist three katana’s were hanging “I will say it again...”
That was as much as she could say and Raiden interrupted her “Mind if I add an offer of my own to that? How about you and I have a night together, I promise I will make it worth your time. Then you can have the star” he couldn’t help himself once he saw how gorgeous the demon girl was.
In the same moment that he finished talked Raiden was smacked in the head by Varris which was wearing some huge metal gauntlets. Instantly knocking him down. “Are you stupid!? You trying to get us all killed here or are you just that much of a womanizer!?” the huge man yelled at him with a roaring voice.
“Its good that some of you have some restrains, otherwise I would have cut that man myself for what he said.” the demon girl spoke while looking at Varris and smiling “So coming back, your answer to my proposal?” she pressed them on as her made its way towards her sword, resting on top of the hilt.
Archeon was getting tired of all of this, it seemed no matter who came they would pick on them. “If you’d take a closer look at us you’d realize we are not actually human, are we now?” he unsheathed his long sword and pointed it at the she demon that was in front of him, its blade was starting to glow quickly turning into an icy blue “Remember this sword filth?” he grabbed his sword with both hands and pierced the ground at his feet. An aura started to come out of his body like a green smoke.
The she demon jumped back at her friends side, now everyone that was around them pulled their weapons out and were done with this chit-chatter “There is no way you can be the same human as the one that defeated us 50 years ago.” the demon that talked to the witches started swinging his in anger, he picked a dagger from his belt and threw it with all force at Archeon.
“Who said that I am human?” he replied back to the demon, the dagger that came towards him, he didn’t even bother to reflect it or do anything, he stood still as if he was simply a target. From behind him a huge arm came and protected him from the dagger, it was Varris that used his huge gauntlets, which almost covered Archeon’s upper body.
While everyone was focused on each other from behind Archeon’s team a group of over forty shadows appeared from thin air, but it wasn’t only behind Archeon, the witches and demons also had forty shadows that had appeared in their vicinity and without a warning they launched an attack on all parties.
Archeon took advantage of this situation since he clearly know his troops strengths and noticed those that are attacking him are vampires because of their sneak attack as well as numbers. “Vampires, Zhan, Nikas your specialty kill them fast. Varris you defend them.” Archeon shouted his orders while rushing over to the mage, which was about to start casting his magic in order to engage the vampires “Activate the portal, now!” with just a nod the mage began activating the magic circle.
Everyone noticed what was happening since the ground surrounding Archeon’s group started to glow and show the teleportation circle. All of them stopped fighting and rushed towards them with weapons lifted and spells almost cast. The light grew more until it covered the whole party in it, nobody could see anything anymore as the light was blinding.
A huge explosion was made when everyone entered that light. Archeon managed to teleport out of there along with his team, the explosion being the result of the multiple attacks that met one another in the middle of the array.
The demon grouped up fast and were ready to kill the rest of the ones that were left around. The witches did that as well same was for the vampires. Neither of them had any intentions of leaving the other alone and having to deal with them later or get hindered along the way. But something made them change their minds, a huge pack of werewolves, at least four hundred of them were heading in their direction. All of them knew that this will drag on for a long time and they might lose the star completely if they wasted anymore time here so without any words each one took of in their own direction.
From the place where all of it happened, right in the middle of the teleportation array a strange plant started to grow, its color was black, its shape was odd as if it had veins on it. The plant grew so fast that it even bloom, its flower looked like red rose but from the middle of the rose an eye came out which started to look around the place. It withered away just as fast as it grew when its job was done.
Despite the fact that they were late to the fray, the werewolves have searched the place very well, managing to find the scent of the star, the one who took her as well as the direction from which they came. Quickly mobilizing such a large pack on its trails while staying out of sight.
So many seemed to be wanting this star and none of them were about to give up on her just yet. But those were not all of them as one more thing that had a late arrival was going to come after her. A cloud of shadows approached the crater one day after the incident around the same time. An angry growl came out from that cloud of black smoke, it moved with a very high speed in the direction from which Archeon came almost as if he sniffed his tracks and was following them just like the werewolves. Just what was this cloud and what could it want from a star?
