Days of the living Darkness

Elroy trots his horse on the dry dirt, swarming with dead leaves along a narrow trail - running through the woods - a portion of the kingdom of Riana - it is a forest of thick growing tall trees bearing brownish leaves. Elroy is an average height, fair alluring young gentleman with a good physique. His hazel green eyes beamed with his smile so cheerfully even the unkind twilight breeze rejoicing with the creaking branches found comfort in his short wavy brunette hair. “At last Celsius, our journey to the Kingdom of Riana is finally over.” Elroy strokes the mane of the stallion, gazing up at the thick stone walls of Riana miles away. Riana is the supreme and largest kingdom in the western regions, ruled by his majesty; King Eric Levia. At about half a mile, Elroy halts his stallion catching glimpse of a boy struggling with a large bag. He trots his stallion closer to the boy, willing to give him a helping hand. “Where are you heading boy?” Elroy glanced about in case it was a trap

It was the late hours of the morning, yet it was cloudy and the rays of light could barely Pierce through the thick canopy the huge tress provided in the forest, the ground of the fogy forest was wet and mushy from the heavy down pour at night. Young Elroy, swarming in wet sludge staggered his way through the ground. An exhausting seven days, the Drokan soldiers hunted down those that escaped, Elroy had never witnessed such a brutal-gruesome scene, they showed no pity, cutting down even children younger than he was; pregnant women were slit open, maidens were placed on stakes - pierced from underneath through their mouths. Elroy barely made it as arrows came flying, he had to his himself in a muddy ditch as the rain poured heavily. He soon missed his step which sent him tumbling down a slope towards a track, luckily for him a carriage happens to be passing by when he hit the track. Beside a cottage at the top of a hill, surrounded by willow forestation, Elroy was well cleaned up, no

Now dark and misty, Mira and Elroy walk carefully through a thick forest in the borders of the South-West Lands holding torches to illuminate their path and surrounding; for the moon was clouded from sight. “How did you manage after the incident at Urania?” Mira asked curiously. Elroy sighs, “I’m not sure, I remember being cared for by a family at Etrigon, every other memory seems hazy, it seems whatever happened in Riana affected my memory.” “Do not stress yourself El, you must have hurt your head really bad.” “Thanks for the encouragement.” Elroy appreciated sarcastically. “Don't you worry, when we settle at Ramenia we shall get to the bottom of this.” Mira assured with a smile. “I hope so Mira, I left Etrigon to the waste lands for a reason, then to Riana. Whatever it is, it was very important.” “All will be fine.” “Come to think of it, what were you doing far West in Riana and how did you recognize me?” “You never change with the questions El, I was on a mission when I stu

Etrigon The cloud stood gloomy and thick, the wind blew harshly in the willow forest at the top of a hill; coercing the catkin of the willow trees to flutter about. Adding to the bustle of the atmosphere was the uninterrupted resounding of clashing blades between Luna and Elroy, bringing out a thunderous effect. Luna, attractive and beautiful as ever was now in her fourteenth year, possessing the blissful features of a growing lady; on the other hand, good-looking Elroy was now in his sixteenth year, thriving in a noble physique. Both struck at each other from several positions, none willing to back down at any moment. In an instance, an unpleasant clash sent them retreating backwards with a jump; breathing heavily both stared boldly into each other’s eyes for a while then advanced towards each other. First strike from Elroy came as a mistake; discerning the fault, Luna swiftly counters Elroy’s attack, disarms him then points her blade to his neck. A fair mature man suddenly ste

Rune Clan, a small merchant town with four open streets and tight alleys due to the closely built cottages and shacks. The rainstorm in the town raged on as the wind wailed, keeping everyone locked inside their homes, the only light emitted in the town excluding the flashes of lightning, was from a tavern just before the harbour. In the bar room Elroy was seated, having a drink with Lukas, Mira, Karin, Jake and Hector; a pale chubby fellow, having thin black hair and the looks of a teenager. All together they make team five of the Seekers squad as told Elroy by Mira, a squad dedicated to fight demons. There are ten teams in total, having five members each, but three were lost to a rank two demon, as classed by the Commander of the Seekers Squad. “Alright Elroy, you have met every member of Team five,” said Mira. “A nice team indeed,” Elroy replied. “Mira will fill you in on other things once we board the ship to Ramenia," Lukas assured. "She did mention the fact that you want in
