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

  • Days of the living Darkness   CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: CLASH OF STEEL

    Rune Clan The gruesome clash raged on in the main streets and alleys, wailing and death cries rose up as fragrance accompanied by the resounding of clashing swords. Commander Eslar lifts her sword up with a shout then slashed down on a Drokan Soldier’s head before kicking forward against his chest, making it easy for her to yank the sword out. From her rare another Drokan Soldier slashed at her, which she deflects with her shield before plunging her sword into his neck; she pulled the sword out allowing him to drop down, giving view to a teenage figure vested in green hooded cape - wielding a steel spear with curved blades at both ends. “Such a young fellow, but yet a killer, God have mercy on these savagery.” Eslar was not prepared to hold back. Another Drokan Soldier charged at Eslar with a slash but she eluded his attack then sliced his lower belly with a clean cut, allowing his guts to drop out. “The battle field is no place for a woman." The lad spoke in the northern tongue,

    By the waterfront of Rune Clan, ten sail-ships were anchored, there was no sign of the town folks, the dockyard was in disarray as well as the market and it was as though everyone left in a hurry. By the front-rare of the ship Commander Eslar stood beside Prince Fredrick, surveying the numb-still town. “This feels like a trap.” said Prince Fredrick “It’s very obvious,” Eslar agreed then turns over to the three Knights behind her. “Alright, Sri Zick - Sri Tom - Sri Amos.” She called at obliging the Knights to clasp their hands behind their back. “Coordinate every ship here, all archers are to take vantage points, defend the people at all cost, especially the Queen and her children.” The Knights agreed with a bow then walks away. Along the main street of Rune Clan, Commander Eslar alongside Prince Fredrick and Tihon amidst a large company of Ramenia Knights treads carefully, watching out for any unfamiliar movement. “I saw a man peeping through a window,” Prince Fredrick whispered “

    Kingdom of Ramenia Castle Compound The top of the Castle was a spherical marbled-surface having short walls round about it, Prince Fredrick stands beside Commander Eslar, enjoying the unsettling breeze of the early morning and the wonderful sight of Sud. “This is just marvellous.” Prince Fredrick took a deep breath; the view of Sud in full length was the slice of a pie, green on the edges. “You know what else is great," Eslar glints at Prince Fredrick whose gaze was on her - eager for a befitting reply. "Beating you in a duel and becoming the best swords-woman in the West and South.” “It will be my pleasure to end that dream my lady.” Prince Fredrick guaranteed, his sword already in his hand. “Once in a life time offer.” Eslar steps backward, giving a good distance as she drew her sword. “I’ll try going easy on you.” Prince Fredrick assured before clasping one hand behind his back. “Your ignorance will cause you to bow to my victory, Fredrick.” Prince Fredrick was caught off g

    ORLANDA RAMSEY The town of Ciadac, a South-east town managed by the Clan of Raging Crows; a clan once feared for their mastery over the darkest sorcery years ago. This dreaded clan soon came to know the God and Lord of the Christian faith as soon as the next in command, Lord Aaron Rooks, stepped into power. The Raging Crows are now known as the Purifiers Creed, whose main aim became to preach against evil acts, as tagged evil by the Holy Scriptures; as well as punishing evil men and women who derived joy in engaging wicked acts. In the bliss of the tepid evening atmosphere, Orlanda Ramsey looking ravishing as always, trots his horse through a market, smiling cheerfully at the serenity of the town; coming close to a compound gate, he halts his horse in front of the five spear-men clad in leather gray hooded armor. "State your business,” the middle spear-man ordered “You speak to Orlanda Ramsey, second in command of the Purifiers forces.” “To whom do I owe?” the Soldier pronounced.

    Kingdom of Riana Fifth district-West section Wielding his long sword Jerrod Rooks stood still and calm on the bridge linking the West section of the fifth district and that of the sixth, peering at the veil. He turns over to his seven Soldiers holding torches and their swords then he gazed at Commander Darren standing behind his Soldiers. “Remember what I told you Darren.” “I will Sri Jerrod.” Jerrod turned back to the veil, he sighed then walked into it, as though he was submerged in water, the veil sucked him in - the Soldiers hesitated in their movement but eventually followed. Jerrod and his Soldiers trended the numb silent streets of the obscure ice-cold town, frost following every breath, carefully observing their surroundings, on getting to the town square they beheld with their eyes the bodies of the towns folk, stacked up together and the children sitting round about the pile of bodies; aside this there was a child standing before the sore sight, appearing to be dead but

    Kingdom of Riana The heavy down pour came with fury and thundering, driven on all sides by the raging wind - a thick fog hovered over Riana, so dense no one would know who or what was close by. In the west section of the fifth district, two children - male and female, about six-seven years straightened up on their beds due to the loud rumbling and howling. They stared at each other, looking gloomy and drowsy; they stood up on their feet walking out of the room as though they were not in control. The female child opened the door on reaching it, allowing the heavy down pour to gust into the cottage but still the parents of the children were fast asleep, a flash of lightning revealed several figures in the fog - off the children went into the fog. Three days later Fifth district-West section Eight men, mature and young - rode their horses through the empty main street, halting their horses not too far from Commander Darren who stood with five Riana Soldiers in front of the bridge lea
