Akira looked at the rising morning sun for several moments before returning to stare in the direction of a road that led to the distant sea where Kodria’s ships were stationed. “It’s already several hours past the agreed meeting time… what is taking them so long?” muttered an impatient Akira. “Yap!” said Fluffball as he sat down on Akira’s armored …

The gathered demon races of the razed villages streamed out of the hidden entrance herded by the several dozen surviving village guards of the AAF who were little more than farmers with weapons. “They want to take the civilians to a safer place before we search for the culprits causing the problems,” said Zundar. Akira’s group of werewolves along with …

When the group was well rested, they continued on their march down the main road while being cautious of any ambushes, one of the Oni faction’s favorite tactics. They were now several hours into their journey with little of interest to look at other than the dark burnt ground and the grim-looking black stone trees. Sniff! Sniff! Fluffball stopped jumping …

When Akira’s eyes readjusted to the flash of bright blue light he was already outside of the dungeon. The rare sound of chirping birds reached his ears before he could look around and see that he was now fully above ground outside of both the dungeon and the tunnels of the cavern system below.

He tried his best to struggle and escape but he was unable to budge the thick armored pincer. SNIP! The large red pincer claw snapped closed with only a little force applied causing the Oni’s …

Akira, Zundar, Fluffball, and the other werewolves all watched the Minos warriors prepare for the uninvited guest from near the shore of the lake only a short distance away from the tunnel’s entrance. Most of the Minos warriors were using spears and short swords with shields. Only a few had a crossbow or a bow. Their choice of weapons was …

Akira and the other officers were all gathered inside the command tent that had been only recently erected inside the recently built large redoubt. Everyone stood around a small wooden table, the only furniture that had been pulled off one of the ships and had been carried up the ashy hill. “…so far these groups are the only people we …

With the Minos villagers helping transport the barrels of beer, Akira and the others all took up positions around them to help protect the precious liquid cargo from any harm.
