Dark Winds: Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Preparations
“So, they will probably try to blend with the crowd. My estimation is that they will launch an attack in the forest as a distraction and use the panic and confusion to pass unnoticed. Another route are the sewers. That was what I used to set up the distraction before encountering Lady Druella.” Alatar showed the respective places at a rough drawing of the city, while Wilmaria and Koyoi watched in rapt attention.
“Of course, they may even use hostages or living shields. But the ones entering the city are probably those who will go for their main objectives, so dragging someone around will only slow them down. They will probably kill their hostage on the spot and run once they get close.”
“Cowards.”
“Miss Wilmaria, this i…

Chapter 3: Plans
The mess hall of the garrison had been emptied, with only two dullahan guarding its entrance. Lescatie’s head monsters sat along the long table, with Alatar and Pallanto at the far end. Everyone stood as Druella came in.
“Greetings, everyone. Sit down. My apologies for calling all of you here, but this is a matter of great importance.”
“Lady Druella, why is the human here?”
“You will see, Wilmaria. So, Mr Pallanto, care to repeat your story?”
Pallanto repeated his recounting of the recent events and developments. Everyone listened in silence. When he finished, Alatar took over.
“My estimation is that the fanatics are certain to hit at least two locations. The church and the palace. Probably the day after tomorrow, in the evening…

Chapter 2: Fight or flight
“Are you ready?”
“Yes. Let’s go.”
The knight-commander and the mage strolled down the road, the main gate their destination. Three figures followed them from the shadows.
A small grunt from the commander earned a nod from Pallanto. They acted fast. They picked up their pace, following the main road.
“So, care to explain where you wanted to go so urgently? I have to escort you everywhere, you know.” the commander asked in a loud voice, turning a few heads along the road.
“Just a stroll down the inn, commander. You know that the wine if the inn by the gate is great. If not, now you do.”
Why all these theatrics… well, I don’t complain, since it is the commander that will get it.
At the sight of the main gate and its garrison,…

Chapter 1: Clouds on the horizon
“Say aaahhhh ♥”
“Ahhhmmmmmmfff”
The fair haired succubus fed Alatar a small cookie dipped in alraune nectar. They were lying on a pink blanket laying on the ground at Lescatie’s park. The two dullahan escorts were a discreet distance away, looking enviously at the loving couple.
“Now some dessert ♥ open wide ♥”
“You know, if you keep stuffing my face, I’ll get really fat. What is this blue fruit?”
“Secret ♥”
Alatar bit on the sour fruit, while he fed Veronica a red one.
“It is pretty sour mmmffffff!” Veronica cut him off by deeply kissing him. Her mouth, still stuffed with the red fruit, tasted sweet… it complimented the fruit perfectly. Too perfectly.
After a long while Veronica broke the kiss, and whispered in his…

“Is he the one?”
“Yes. We wait until he leaves. Then we go in.”
The hooded figures waited in silence, watching a mage enter his home. The mage was tipsy, stumbling a bit, fumbling with his keys.
“Why don’t we just go now? This guy is drunk. We could easily take him out and -”
“Hush, idiot! Here is why.”
A knight strolled by, clad in full armor. His metallic heavy footsteps resounded in the stone pavement. He watched in amusement as the mage cursed, and finally entered his home.
“What is the commander of the Order of Holy Light doing here?! With this drunk?”
“Quiet!”
The mage got out of the building, clad in a cloak and mask. He turned to lock the door, and followed the knight without a word. Curiously, his footsteps were completely quiet, …
