Chapter X
A vast barren area dividing Demonia from the realm of Man. Valleys and jagged rocks scattered around. A huge wall protected the realm of Man from the now active Demonian troops. Forts were built around the barren land, trying to stop the demons from advancing closer towards the wall. Mages and warriors prepared themselves for battle everyday as the waves of demons charged. Soon many forts were destroyed and the demons were beginning to occupy half of the area. Their advances however were stopped by a fort protecting a strategic location for the demons to advance deeper. Chaos reigned in that area as the demons battled to gain control over the fort. It has been 2 years since the Heaven's Three disappeared, the realms are at war once again. Their legends will start here, in this barren land, in the lands of Frey.
Thousands of menacing looking skeletons carrying weapons and bearing armor approached a huge fort. The fort was protecting a path leading into a mountain pass that grants a fast journey towards the wall. The skeletal warriors suddenly charged toward the fort, screeching loudly.
"They're here again. Quickly everyone! To battle!" A man shouted. He was dressed in a black robe and gripping a massive axe. "Let the Geffen Paladins crush them!" Paladins all dressed similar to the man, charged out of the fort's gates and took up their defenses, preparing for the skeletons to arrive. On the high walls of the fort, many paladins prepared their bows and charged their arrows with magical energy. They then aimed toward the massive swarm of skeleton troops. A young man with shoulder length black hair stood beside the archers. He was wearing a simple pair of black dragonhide pants, while his upper body was covered with a red cloak. He was also wearing black gloves of unknown material. He gazed at the skeleton swarm.
"Archers ready? FIRE!" he shouted, as the archers let loose their arrows. The arrows glowed white and showered on the skeletons, vanquishing many. Suddenly, a man dressed simillar to the man in the red cloak appeared beside him. The man who just arrived had short spiky black hair and was donning a dark blue cloak instead of a red one. "Zes, this time they are serious. There are hundreds and thousands of them." The man in the blue cloak said to the man in the red cloak, Zes.
Zes nodded before speaking." Seems like its time for us to fight. Let us go, Zans. For the honor of Geffen." Zes and Zans jumped from the wall, dropping towards the ground. They landed softly and made their way towards the front of the defending paladins. Another volley of holy arrows rained onto the skeleton swarm, however their advance did not slow. The skeletons arrived in front of them in no time, and upon seeing the paladins, they charged.
"It begins." Zans said before he spread his hands wide apart and slamed them together forcefully.
Tien smiled as he laid on the ground, looking up towards gigantic trees. Leaves were slowly falling and Tien slowly sat up. He sighed as he marvel in the place he is in. Many different trees, huge and small, with many colour leaves around him. He strolled towards a tree with rainbow coloured leaves and sat beneath it's shade. "Enjoying the shade?" a female elf ask dropping from a branch above Tien. Tien laughed and nodded. "You catching a nap huh? Leina." Leina nodded and chuckled. "It's a pity you're a human, i would have fallen for you if you were an elf. " Tien laughed and shook his head. "Does it matt-" Tien stopped suddenly and held his head before he fainted. "TIEN!!"
