"So you have made your choice, eh? You have decided to forfeit the lives of your comrades in exchange for your own?" The voice quizzed, echoing throughout the band's minds. Next came the images, flashing through their minds. Images of them being ripped apart by shadows. Images of them being...

20 years ago, Nostra used to be a thriving town. The Midget Stallion inn produced some of the finest wine around, whilst the Drudger Academy pumped out some of the best soldiers the Allirian Guard has ever seen. Nowadays, the town is nothing more than a smoldering pile of rubble. Where once...

It was a rowdy night here at the Sleepy Troll inn. Bards were singing, patrons were drinking, and couples were dancing the night away. The staff was working overtime, bartenders rapidly pouring drinks, servers rushing to bring them to waiting patrons. A burly mercenary wandered around the bar...

The captain swiftly moved out of the way, tears streaming down his cheeks as the bolts embedded themselves into the boy. The boy convulsed for a second, then stopped. At long last, the boy was finally put out of his misery. His eyes stared blankly at the sky, his spirit rising to the heavens...

“No! I may not serve the boy any longer, but I won’t let you desecrate this dying boy anymore!” The captain shouted, standing in front of Trajan, blocking his path. “Hush my little rabbit. Listen to my voice.” The whisper chirped, images flashing within the poor women’s mind. Images of children...

The captain charged forward, knocking Trajan aside before the war hammer could connect with the boy’s head. “Open your damn eyes! That’s not him! That’s not him you fool!” The captain rushed to the boy’s side, pulling the crossbow bolts out of his body. The mixed group stood, crossbows at the...

Every single shot managed to find it’s mark. The boy screamed out in pain as he was riddled with bolts, falling silent as two bolts pierced his skull. The boy slammed into the ground, convulsing as he slowly bled out in agonizing pain. His blood pooled beneath him, dyeing the ground a vile...

“Are you crazy!? This is exactly what he wants!!” The captain yelled, storming up to Trajan, hand on his scimitar. “That monster, is capable of feats far beyond any mortal man! Believe me when I say I tried to save those innocent souls at Nostra! But there was nothing I could do!” The rest of...

“You know all to well who’s responsible, eh? Yet I urge you not to confront the boy.” The old man whispered, his face visibly contorted with fear. “I’m well aware what he’s capable of, I was there. I failed them...” The captain simply glanced towards the ground, his eyes full of regret. He...

A smile slowly grasped the boy’s lips as he watched Claire walk off with Trajan, his gaze still intently focused on Claire. “Why do you run little rabbit?” He muttered, his words only reaching her ears. “You’ve probably heard what happened to the town of Nostra, 20 years ago.” The old captain...

“I see. My men are already settling up at the north side hill. Let’s all pray the boy is wrong.” The captain responded, giving a worrisome glance towards Jericho. Leaning towards Trajan, he whispered into his ear. “Come with me, there’s something you should know.” The captain then trotted off...

“Jericho! To me!” The captain called, making his way to the rear of the caravan, Jericho hopping alongside him. “What seems to be the problem here lads?” He asked Trajan, examining the commotion before him. Meanwhile, Jericho simply stared at Claire, fidgeting with a bloody eyeball. With...

“With all due respect sir, we have no idea which direction this company is even coming from. Hell, we don’t even know how many are coming.” The robed elf pointed out, his magic having almost closed up Min'dellar’s wound. “Be glad you’re still alive Min'dellar.” Meanwhile, the mixed group got to...

“Better keep your wits about ya. Company’s going to arrive in twenty minutes Sir Trajan.” The boy remarked as he gouged the eyes out of one of the corpses with his hands, smiling as he played with them. The captain furrowed his brow in worry upon hearing the boy’s words. “Take up defensive...

The grizzled captain extended his hand outwards and shook Trajan’s quite firmly. “Aye, pleasure doing business with ya...” The captain said, his voice trailing off as he eyed the kid hopping about, worry evident on his face. He knew what Jericho was capable of, and he rightly feared, like...
