With a face of great discomfort and annoyance, I make my pace from the Generals quarters and stroll through the halls of the fortress, later to arrive in the dining hall to see the many comrades I was pressed into service with. Many of whom ranged from my own age to adult soldiers who were bitter about being on the loosing side of the war with the monsters. I look over the rows of long tables and see my sqaud making small talk whenever I wasn't around as usual, I whistle grabbing their attention and took my seat next our constantly paranoid lookout, Tybalt. "Well whats our job for today? For once I hope its not peeling potatoes for the 10th time!", asked Ian with a very unenthused expression, I glance towards my 3 squadmates, take a deep breath and sigh. "We are tasked by the General with going into the enemy territory and report back on any plans made by the enemy that we can get our hands on.". "So its a stealth mission then and not a suicide mission right?", questioned luther. "Exactly right luther, we might just be able to observe from afar so that way we dont have to worry about encountering any monsters.", I say reassuringly to my squad. With that said us four ate our final meals for the day and when nightfall arrived, we went to the armory and proceded to stock our selves with our equipment ranging from knifes, swords, and crossbows.

We trekked for a good total of what I assumed was 2-3 hours through the vast redwood forest that made up enemy territory with the moon a glowing blood shade of red, signifiying that we were behind enemy lines and that we may not make it back. Eventually we made it to a large hill that ended in a cliff edge, and from that cliff edge we could see a Large building made complete of stone and concrete, at the far left of the main building from our view, was the entryway for carts, guarded by several mamono most of which consisted of dark elfs. To the far right was a training range for archers and dummys for sword practice. At the center was a large outdoor assembly area currently filled to the brim of various mamono in black and red tinted armor and the occasional incubus here and there, at the podium of the assembly stood a succubus decked in light metallic armor. To her left a lich produced a red tinted ball of light which was quickly thrown in the air and began levitating a couple of inches above the succubus, the succubus nodded towards the lich and began to speak, her voice echoing all around the facility via the hovering orb, "My fellow sisters and kin, it is with great pride to announce our war with the Order will soon becoming to an end! Starting tomorrow night we march onto the fortress defending the last bastion of humanity and liberate many potential husbands and sisters in the name of our glorious Maou!". The crowd of monsters and incubi went wild with excitement for several minutes before they were dismissed by the succubus, the succubus herself teleported away in a blinding flash of red light and the lich following suite in a similar manner, the four of us just stared at each other for a moment before springing up off the grass.

"We have to get back to the fortress to warn the others immediately!" I said franticly to the others, we began bolting our way through the forest away from the enemy base however we didn't get every far until we heard a woman giggling in the distance. Upon hearing that all four of us stopped dead in our tracks and began readying our weapons, the woman who was giggling said in a ominous tone, "My-My I didn't realise the order started sending children to do their dirtywork, and here we thought they wouldn't even stoop so low.". We began moving back to back looking franticly in the darkness to see where the voice was coming from, thats when Tybalt noticed something, "G-g-g-g-guys! look over there!". Luther, Ian and I turned our heads to the left and saw a glowing pair of red eyes staring back at us, getting a much more closer look I noticed the succubus's hair was a milky white as was her tail and wings, thats when it hit me and I realised it was the same succubus in metalic armor from the assembly. I turned back to my squad visibly trembling in fear the others quickly picked up on this fear and we proceded to back away slowly, then I squeaked at the top of my lungs, "SCATTER!". Simultaneously the whole squad bolted in all directions to flee from the lilim, unfortunately I didn't get very far as the lilim immediately teleported in front of me as I bumped into her, she placed the palm of her hand on my forehead and said in a calm monotonous voice, "sleep.", immediately I began to feel drowsy and very quickly blacked out from the sudden fatigue and the last thing I heard was my squadmates screaming in terror in the distance. I woke up to the sight of a cliffs edge overlooking the order fortress to an morning sunrise, to my left all 3 of my squadmates awake and bound by arachne silk to a nearby tree, guarded by a minotaur and several other monsters, directly behind me was the lilim who cradled be between her arms and lap. "Its useless to struggle just observe and watch boy", she commanded in a soothing voice, as I looked closely there were hundreds, if not thousands of monsters marching towards the base, eventually alarms and screams rang out in the distance followed shortly by a cacophony of moans. "As you can see child, we have won and as of now you are free to do as you see fit, if you wish I can have one of my subordinates take you in as their adoptive child.", I turned to face the lilim and asked, "then what will happen to my squadmates?". "They will be taken in as adoptive children in any case as they are too young an age to be any use to us.", the lilim immeditately let go of me and began to spread her wings, "oh! one last thing little boy, what is your name?", "Its cullen!", I replied. "Until then cullen, you will hear from us soon.", with that said she took to the air in the direction of the fortress, the minotaur cut the ropes holding my squadmates, and with the war over the other monsters left the area to head down to the fortress.

Very quickly the last city of the order fell within a matter of weeks, soon many child soldiers were apprehended and sent to monster orphanages meanwhile some had to have their memories wiped by mindflayers to get them to stop trying to fight the mamono and be able to reintegrate into mamono society, me however as I was collecting my things from my squad's old barracks, I was quickly contacted by a ratatoskr and was sent to live with a pack of werewolves as my new adoptive parents. several Years later I met and married a lamia and settled down near the outskirts of the city, only later did I found out that my former commanding officer was tried with war crimes by the monsters and sentenced to alone time with 10 ghouls via a newspaper celebrating the 20th anniversary of the end of the war.
