I look at the nightmare that the world has become. Using what little time I have I grab my wife and strike her, knocking her out. I then barricade the house and tie her up, praying for the night pass quickly.

I look out between the boards I've placed over my window. There are countless undead roaming, trying to find vulnerabilities. I occasionally spot werewolves leaping around, and living armour, their spirit lights glowing red.

That's when I spot something... different. Something that I've never seen before. A giant. Godsdamned. Eyeball.

I have no idea what is going on now, as this eye seems to be directing the enthralled monsters. Far from prepared, and with such a horde outside, I'm not liking my chances, but I have to try. All the monsters about are out of control, and need to be saved. Grabbing my silver reinforced bow I climb up the stairs and open the door.

The eye immediately swivels around to face me, its unblinking stare sending chills down my spine. I raise my bow and let fly. As the arrow strikes the eye... screams. The sound is even more chilling than its stare, then I see something in its pupil. Another, much smaller eye comes flying at me. I quickly fire a second arrow into this, striking it and making it splatter into pieces.

I then leap to the side as the eyeball rushes at me, rolling off the roof and into the horde below. They grab and tear at me, but I fend them off, eventually making it to another house and climbing the wall. Once in position I begin to fire arrows anew. I send a rain of wood and stone towards the monstrous creature, its large size making it an easy target.

I launch one arrow straight into the pupil, sending the eye reeling. It shudders for a few moments before the iris explodes into fleshy chunks, revealing the most horrifying part of this ordeal yet. Fangs. The giant eye has turned into a giant mouth, and now those gnashing teeth are coming straight for me!

I dive again, trying to stay on the roof this time, and one of the teeth catches me, leaving a nasty gash in my arm. I pull a potion from my belt, drink it and press on as my wound heals. I fire more arrows, dodging around the giant maw trying to swallow me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I start to run out of energy I make one last dive before drawing again. I don't have the energy to dodge another attack, and so make a final gambit. The arrow I've knocked glows with magical energies, and as I let it loose it flies with a trail of sparkles. The maw lunges, the arrow strikes, and there's an explosion.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">The creature explodes into a shower of gore and sparkles, the latter from my only jesters arrow. As the creature falls so too does dawn come, the bloody water returning to normal, and the other monsters with it. I feel a pressure in my head, and something that sounds like... laughter?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0cm;">Congratulations, <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> a voice drawls, '' you have passed the first test. Know that this is not over, and you will hear from me again. '' And like that the pressure fades, replaced by screaming. Looking down many of the bloodstained girls are looking at each other in horror. I'll help them later. For now I need to find my own wife.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I return to our house to see her still tied up. When she sees me she smiles, then looks confused. "What happened honey? And why are you covered in... gore?" I slowly explain what happened last night. She sits there as I untie her, her face going from shock to horror.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I... wh-what?" She stutters. "I felt... something. Something horrible but... I just thought it was a nightmare, then I woke up like this and... oh gods, what about the others?" I explain what I saw, and she just sits for a few moments, silent.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"At least you stopped it." I look away for a moment before answering, telling her about the voice. She takes a moment, before speaking again. "So... it's not over then? This could happen again?" I nod, and feel something wrapping around me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Someone needs to stop this. A hero needs to be found." I nod, and then give her a meaningful look. She pales. "No. No, not you! I... we... no. I can't lose you, you're not a hero." I look at my bow, then back at her. After what just happened? Is there really any chance I'm not? She holds herself tightly to me, wrapping around me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"No! I need you. If anything happened to you I... I couldn't..." I kiss her, firmly and passionately. When we separate she looks at me again, much calmer.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Take everyone with you. All the men in town. None of them will be safe if it happens again. The women won't like it, but they don't have a choice." I nod, and start to make preparations. That night the town is engulfed in an orgy, all the men hyped up on special mixtures to ensure long term satisfaction. The next morning we set out, determined to deal with whatever force has been set against us.
