"Say isn't there any way for you to make this a little less bumpy"
In the carriage, three girls could be seen. One of them was a girl of pure beauty, one who can be recognize as a noble. The other two were the same, except the two could be seen to be very tense.
"you know, it'll be allot better if both of you hold still"
Only you could say that! The two instantly thought, but tried any way. The passing countryside was very peaceful. Farmland could be seen from miles away, farmers were diligently planting as well as sowing new vegetables. One of the vegetables the farmers were picking up looked like an orange, but Mikaila told the two that it was cabbage. It was a weird vegetable.
The two girls really couldn't get comfortable in the carriage. They tried to sit in the different ways, but the more they move the more uncomfortable it got for them. The princess laughed seeing the two trying to get comfy.
"Hey you two want to take a breather outside" Mikaila asked trying to contain her laughter.
The two instantly nodded like dogs waiting for their masters command. The princess knocked twice on the drivers seat who instantly gave the command to stop. The entire convey stopped and conveniently, they were near one of the villages whose inhabitants instantly came out to greet them. It was a beastkin village. You can see that these were the wolf variants for their white ears and their bushy tails. Unlike what the two heroes expected, the villagers looked very healthy. To top it off, they all wore the common villager garbs and shirts but the materials were of high quality.
"Your people must really love you Mikaila" Reya said with respect.
"They look so happy, it makes me want to stay and work forever in your kingdom" Sara added with shining eyes.
Mikaila blushed, but underneath her facade, her memories of the things she's done still haunts her. She shook her head knowing that a depressing attitude won't help and quickly called towards her guards.
"Cryst, I wanted you to form a perimeter around the village. Make sure any creature or outsider that appear hostile are taken out immediately"
"As you wish your majesty"
Cryst, the lead knight of the palace guards, gave a quick salute and returned. He was a man of mysterious qualities, but underneath the armor is a trustworthy vassal who has helped me in countless times. He shouted instructions to nearby platoons, who soon went to their designated spots. The men were very well trained, and looked very strong mentally and physically.
"Alright guys, it should be sa..... what are you two doing?"
A few feet from Mikaila, both Sara and Reya were on the ground laughing as beast kin children were swarming them from left to right. The sight really puts ones heart at ease. Smiling Mikaila, left the two to the children.
"Ne, Onee-chan what's the other world like" One of the beastkin girls asked Sara with upturned eyes. Unable to resist Sara, told her the many things in their world. She recounted how people get around with cars and hovercrafts, how buildings towered above city, and how lights illuminated the night. The kids had sparkling eyes and wanted to hear more stories. But the two girls really wanted to look around village. In the end the village kids decided to show them around. They were dragged to many places inside the village. They saw where the elders lived, the dining area as well as the mini park that was created. Fruits were also everywhere as the kids plucked them and gave them to the two heroes. The two had joys of happiness as they savored the fruit. Mikaila who was talking to her advisers saw the scene and had a warm smile.
"Madame" Teha looked at Mikaila in surprise.
"It's nothing, please continue"
Blushing, she continued her report.
"I advise that we wait until we moved towards the shrine. Our scouts have been reporting strange occurrences towards the north"
Looking at the map before them, Mikaila couldn't help her foreboding feeling. Why are their movements increasing now. She kept thinking and thinking but nothing is making sense. As far as she knew, the demons wouldn't be moving until later. Without them knowing, the two heroes finally entered the room with cheery moods. Mikaila finally noticed them and actually laughed at their conditions. Both girls were covered in sweat and dirt.
"You two want to take a bath first or rest now" Mikaila asked with a smirk.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm hitting the hay" Sara replied with a haughty laugh
She quickly found a room that wasn't used and jumped on top of the bed with no inclination to change to her sleeping wear.
Just like always I see, thought Mikaila as she contained a small laughter. Reya, stayed behind since somethings been bugging her from the very beginning.
"You know Mikaila, although we've only met. Why do I feel as if I've known you for a long time?"
My heart skipped a beat. My face showed no reaction though, since the restriction was activating.
"I wonder what you mean" I replied with no emotion.
"The way you talk, the way you act. It's very similar to a person I've met before"
Silence filled the room, but Mikaila couldn't allow it too.
"I don't think I've ever met a person of your caliber before"
She looked at Mikaila, scrutinizing every small detail of her face. With a shrug, she made her way towards one of the rooms. Mikaila sighed with relief, as she prepared to sleep for the night.
Before they knew it, they all fell asleep.

"princess....... princess....... PRINCESS"
Mikaila woke with a start towards the sound of shouting and screaming. Metal could be heard clashing all around them. Teha was very scared, as her hand was shaking.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
"Were under attack princess, we need you right now"
Mikaila quickly donned her armor and grabbed both her shield and her sword. Teha quickly opened the door and a scene of carnage awaited them. Flames rose from the many houses, bodies layed strewn over the grassy field, and the once clear river was now dyed in bblood. My soldiers were in formation as unknown forces were clashing with them.
"MEN STEADY YOURSELF, YOU ARE THE PRIDE OF THE KINGDOM. YOU ARE TRAINED TO BE THE WALL THAT HOLDS THIS KINGDOM AND AS THE PRINCESS I ORDER YOU ALL TO HOLD YOUR GROUND"
A huge shout came from the newly rejuvenated men. The beast kin themselves joined the fray as some fired muskets into the enemy while others used healing magic. As the princess rallied her forces, she herself joined the fray. She noticed a stab was aimed towards her and deflected it with her shield.
"SCORPION SLASH" Her sword emitted a purple glow as she swung it in a wide arc. Three men were instantly cut apart. The enemy wavered and Mikaila didn't let the chance pass by.
"BERSERK FLASH" She instantly darted through the lines of enemy soldiers slashing and hacking everyone that got close. She made it to the back of the enemy lines were she sheated her katana. In that instance many men fell dead as their torsos slipped from their bodies. A cheer could be heard as the knights galantly charging through the enemy.
"TO THE PRINCESS"
Mikaila simply stood at the back and waited for her knights slashing any enemy soldiers that got too near. Victory was at hand, and she felt the joy of earning success. Then a sense of dread came to her. As she quickly seperated a head from it's bodies she realized who they were fighting.
These men aren't men nor demons. They are undead... Why are they.... it clicked.
Where are they? In panic, she quickly made her way back to the village. The fires were starting to fade away, but that didn't stop Mikaila having an ominous feeling.
"SARA..... REYA...... WHERE ARE YOU!"
She looked around every house hoping to catch a glimpse of the two. She then saw something that confirmed her fears. A locket can be seen on the ground. Beside it, several pairs of feet can be seen going into the jungle.
No...... Mikaila made a run for it, following the trail. Before she knew it, she appeared on a clearing only to see a dreaded sight. Sara can be seen hanging from the trees. A tree branch was used to impale her, and her head was bent in an odd angle. Her body was riddled with many stab wounds showing that she was tortured before she was killed. A bit farther away, Reya laid.
"REYA" Mikaila quickly went to her side. Tears started to form as she saw her conditions. Her legs were crushed, and blood gushed out from the stump of her arm. A sword and a spear were impaled at her stomach as well as her shoulder. Despite that Reya smiled at Mikaila, and flicked her in the head.
"What took you so long slowpoke"
Mikaila stared at her with growing sadness.
"Please don't talk. Your gona be ok" Before I knew it, I had switched back to my old ways of talking.
Reya giggled, and tried to stand up but only fell into Mikaila's hands. Her breath was getting weaker. Yet her smile was still their.
"tha.....nk....o.....ty....l....r"
With surprise, I stared at her deep blue eyes. Strong dying eyes that locked onto mine and knew that It was me, Tyler. She was shuddering now, but that shudder was quickly stopping.
"I NEED A HEALER OVER HERE. ANYONE.... PLEASE...... some........one.............."
A beast kin quickly appeared. He was about to cast a healing spell but then stopped as he saw the princess tightly holding the girl. He was too late. Mikaila was now crying in anguish as she hugged the lifeless body of the one she loved.

(Certain POV)
It's better than I thought.
A goddess can be seen sitting on a throne writhing in excitement. What appeared before her was a scene of carnage. Fires were everywhere, houses destroyed, and bodies littered the floor. But the most heart wrenching scene was a girl holding the body of dead one. Her anguish couldn't be described as she mourned for the one she lost. The girl hadn't died immediately since the goddess destroyed the undead at the very last moment. Though she did that, the girl inevitably died at the hands of her loved one.
Such rush of adrenaline I'm feeling right now. The goddess controlled her spasm.
I can't believe that humans are capable of such reaction. Ohhhhhh.... I want more, but I honestly think this would go against what I'm trying to do. The goddess didn't expect the undead to mobilize immediately. She only wanted to test the two girls but it had actually backfired. Though she felt happy at seeing the princess reaction, she really needed those two girls.
Hmmmmmmmm..... I guess it's time to hold the ceremony. With a smile, she began conjuring spells after spells of ancient magic.
Don't worry my little princess, I keep my promises.
"KRYTUM ARVITRA NUM'C- LET DEATH BE THEIR CREATION" The world shook once more as the goddess once again tampered the faith of those she ruled.
