Dark Winds: Chapter 7
A/N: Warning, lemon (small)
The steps of two figures were muffled by the thick grass that grew on the forest clearing. “Are you sure about this, Alatar? Why didn’t you ask Veronica?”
“Veronica, while skilled, won’t attack me with the intention to kill, Wilmaria. Primera is a close second, but her fighting style is mainly hand-to-hand and archery. I’ll have to spar with her later, but right now, I must improve on what I lack.”
“Fair enough. My sword won’t kill you, but it will get you aroused. Will you be all right with that?”
"Veronica is nearby, training with a dullahan and a succubus. Which reminds me: I won’t use spells.” Alatar drew a silver blade, and fell to a fighting stance. “And I’ll have to train in the spell department with Pallanto…
Twilight of Life - Wight
A/N: Rated M, lemons etc. Sequel to the first one-shot, Love Never Dies.
“There you go, captain”
“Thanks”
The bartender gave the captain of the militia, and knight of the Order of Holy Light, a mug full of strong liquor. The captain took it and went for his small table at the corner of the inn’s hall.
It was this time of the year. The time when he drank himself to oblivion, trying to forget the face of his friend, as he left him in the courtyard of the cursed tower in the forest. His cocky smile and sharp retorts. They had known each other from their early days in the field. They got their first assignment to this village, ten years ago. Although they would go away on various missions, they always returned here, to find the other waiting in th…
Love Never Dies - Lich
A/N: Rated M, lemons etc.
“So, this is the place...” the mage murmured.
A small group of men, led by a mage in red robes, proceeded cautiously in the courtyard of an old tower in the forest. The men were young and frightened, and armed with almost the most basic equipment, except their leader, who was clad in full chainmail.
“This place gives me the creeps, John.” the captain of the militia squad said nervously, glancing around. “It’s too quiet. Eerily so. No birds chirping, no animals in sight, heck, even the plants are withered and dying.”
“Yes, yes, Mat, I can see as much.”
“It’s Captain Mathew!”
“Yea, yea, I know that too. Now quiet down. I sense something...”
With an abrupt hand gesture, the militia came to a clumsy stop. The captain sighed.…

Chapter 6: Battle Aftermath
“I must say, I found it hard to swallow that a mage had joined the religious lunatics. So, what was your price? A position? A title?” Pallanto said sarcastically.
“Why, the very same reason the Order of Shadows was created. I never expected our very leaders to compromise to such a treaty. Especially when we finally had gained the upper hand. Won’t you come quietly?” Alfred responded.
“Lacking a proper perspective will give you such an opinion.” Pallanto sighed. “And no, I will not surrender peacefully. While not a monster, I support the peace. So, let’s do what we must, shall we?”
Without a warning, lightning surged from Alfred’s hands, rushing to his cloaked opponent. Pallanto raised a wall of earth, that was destr…

Chapter 5: Battle
“Get to your positions, men. You begin when the sun touches the horizon. May Her benevolence guide us.”
“May Her benevolence guide us.” The men in front of Alfred repeated, their right fist over their heart.
“Briar! Morte! With me!” Alfred called, running towards the town, as the rest of the men parted.
“How much time do you think we have?” Briar asked, as they ran along the mage.
“Not much. We will use the crowd to slip in. After you use the gems, use the confusion to slip out. We will meet in the cave.” At least, I will. I won’t be needing you any longer.
The men ran in silence, closing in on the city. Curiously, they met no patrols, as Alfred expected. Maybe they were not alerted, after all? This could mean that the detonatio…
