User blog:The Vaudevillain Veteran/Humans from another world: Case Study 5.3: Damian "Morningstar" Mars

A/N: Will contain profanity and references of death. This will be my last chapter of the "dark" trilogy.

1st Person POV

"Dammit the Light Cannon used up more energy than expected." I curse to myself as I was now forced to head back to Avalonia without attracting unwanted attention. Normally I would just used my light speed to head back home in an instant, but destroying the tentacle forest drained almost all of my power.

What also didn't help was the massive amounts of Demonic Energy in this place as is partially blocked out the sun and my powers. I turn around and see a group of Dullahans running at me. With whatever energy I have left I use it to outrun the Dullahans and make my way out of the Demon Realm, thankful that my divine gift protected me from the Demonic Energy. As I exit the Demon Realm I can feel the warm sun on my back recharge my depleted energy levels. For a good five minutes or so I'm laying on the grass embracing the sunlight, until I hear voices shouting out to me.

"YOU THERE STOP!"

A woman's voice commands of me. I get up from the grass and see the same garrison of Dullahans in front of me.

"It took you long enough to find me, I take it you're here because of me destroying that forest right?" I ask nonchalantly.

"Indeed, did you really think we'd just let public enemy number 1 get away that easily?" The dullahan asks me aggressively with it's sword drawn.

"That forest deserved to be destroyed for the countless human lives it had taken." I retort.

"The tentacles have already been taught that killing is wrong and yet you still killed them in cold blood. You're a heartless murderer you know that? Do you know how many lives YOU have taken without mercy?" It tells me but honestly at point I'm not even listening to it.

"You abominations deserve no mercy. Now.. feel the power.... OF THE SUN!!!" I yell as I managed generate just enough energy to create a solar flare. While they're blinded I make my escape and make it home.

After my narrow escape from the dullahans I make it back to the village of Avalonia. The large metal gates open as the guards announce my return. The village people celebrate my return and in the crowd a little girl runs in my direction and hugs me tightly.

"Damian, you're back, I missed you so much!" The girl, whose name is Matilda cries out.

"I missed you too." I say as I hug Matilda back and rub her head.

Matilda is like a little sister to me. She was a reminder of what I have to protect. I swore that when I took her in two years ago after her parents were murdered by bandits I'd protect her with my life.

"Hey man how did the mission go?" A voice asks me, I turn and see it's my friend Lothos Dawnfall.

"It went well. Nearly got caught by some dullahans but I made it out in one piece. At least I can rest easy now knowing that I wiped that godforsaken forest off the face of the earth." I state proudly.

My friend Lothos was a rarity. Not only was he one of the few male Elves left he was humble and kind to other non elves, a polar opposite of the haughty attitude elves were notorious for. He has shoulder length blue hair and the typical elf ears.

"Don't forget in a few days we have to eliminate the nearby lamia village. Thankfully we have the advantage of them not being aware of our existence, so we have the element of suprise in our favour." I say to Lothos.

"Yeah we do, but that doesn't mean you should go alone though, you're gonna need all the help you can get." Lothos reminds me.

Tired from the mission I go to my house and lay down, even though it's still only the afternoon.

The Next Day:

I wake up at the crack of dawn and after having some bread and fruit for breakfast I start my training for the day. In 2 days we will make our move on the lamia village so I have to be ready.

"Sir Damian!, we have news for you!" One of my spies tells me whilst panting.

"What is it?" I ask the man.

"There are rumours of humans coming from another world via portals, these portals are reported to appear and disappear at random. Currently four of these "interdimensional" humans have already been captured by monsters." He announces solemnly.

"If you say these portals appear at random, then we will just have to rescue one of the humans before they are captured by the abominations." I suggest.

"That could work Sir Damian. However we can only begin these rescue missions once we take care of that lamia village, as currently most of our soldiers, yourself included, are preparing for that mission." The scout tells me.

"You're right, while I'm gone make sure no harm comes to the village." I tell the scout.

2 Days Later:

After weeks of preparing, my men and I are finally prepared to eliminate that village. When approach near however it is quiet.. too quiet for my liking. I send archers forward to scout village they come back and tell me there is no one there.

Baffled I enter the village and indeed it is abandoned. It's as if they all left in a hurry as most of their belongings are still here.

"Come on Damian, let's head home." Lothos suggests as he puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Unfortunately you are correct. MEN! We must fall back and keep in formation in case any one of those abominations try and ambush us!" I announce.

We stay in formation as we head back, I'm furious at how this mission failed. I scan my surroundings and see Lothos... smiling?. Suspicious I stop him.

"What are you smiling about? We just failed a mission!" I shout at him. Lothos keeps his cool though.

"I was just thinking of a funny joke, that's all." He shrugs his shoulders. Not entirely convinced I just brush it off at Lothos being Lothos. When we arrive near the village however, my worst fears become reality.

"Nonononono...this can't be happening." I say in disbelief. I hear loud moaning sounds comimg from Avalonia. I made a mad dash to the village and indeed it is true.

The monsters finally found Avalonia.

Was it all a decoy? Leading me and most of the guards out of Avalonia to make it easier to invade? I ask myself as I'm running through the orgy filled streets. I find the house where Matilda and I live and when I open it.

Nothing....

Am I too late?

"Damian..." I hear Matilda call out my name. I turn around in joy only to stop dead in my tracks.

Matilda's eyes are blood red and she has giant bat wings on her back.

Which means she's a succubus now.

I can't believe it. I refuse to believe it.

My throat feels sore and hot tears build up in my eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Matilda asks me with a sad and puzzled look on her face.

I first lost my parents to the monsters, and now I have lost Matilda too.

"I'm sorry Matilda, I'm sorry I failed to protect you, please forgive me." Are the only words that come out of my mouth as I draw my sword to her neck.

"Damian please don't kill me..." Matilda begs with the sword to her neck.

Should I just give her a quick painless death? I contemplate. Even though this thing in front of me is now just a perverted mockery of Matilda, for whatever reason I can't cut her down. I instead simply run out of the house and I am greeted by Lothos... and that white winged bitch.

"Lothos, what the hell are you doing next to her?" I ask furiously.

"I was the one who told the Lamias about our invasion, hence why the village was abandoned when we got there. The same night from when you just got back from destroying the tentacle forest, a kunoichi snuck into my bedroom and opened my eyes. The mamono only want what's best for us Damian." Lothos said pathetically.

"Bullshit, you betrayed us just so you could get laid. If you thought with your brain instead of your penis you'd know that the abominations only want to enslave us. I expected better from you Lothos, but it turns out I'm just surrounded by backstabbing snakes." I spit out.

I have one trick left up my sleeve. The Lightmass bomb. It's my most powerful spell because it's a last resort suicide attack that I was waiting to use when I fought the Demon Lord and her husband. But now that I've lost everything again, I decided I might as well use it now.

I laugh to myself like a madman as I begin building up a large amount of spirit energy. I can tell from the faces of Lothos and Druella that they weren't expecting this.

My skin and hair are golden now, and everyone's attention is now on me.

"I call this the Lightma-" is all I can say as I see a sword stab me through the chest. Instead of blood and pain I simply feel exhausted and my world goes dark.

3rd Person POV

Damian fell to the ground unconscious and a sigh of relief came over Lothos and Druella.

"Will he be alright?" Lothos asked Druella.

"Yes he will be." Druella answered.

"I wonder what made him so hateful of mamono. His hatred is even stronger than that of the Order's." Lothos stated.

"I believe it has something to do with how his mother was turned into a tentacle mamono. Because when I first met him 10 years ago he flew into a blind rage when I told him about the tentacle forest. That's the most plausible reason I believe as to why he destroyed the tentacle forest." Druella said.

"Alright, thank you for your help Druella." Lothos said happily.

"No problem Lothos, I wish you and Yuriko a happy marriage. CAPTAIN! Make sure to handcuff Damian's hands and feet so he doesn't try anything." Druella orders as the dullahans carry Damian away.
