creates his own miracle.
A machine, an ancient machine. The plans were over 1000 years old
and come from a long forgotten time. Probably still from the
sophisticated culture of the elves. This also explained the
required materials.
The king used all the country's relations to gain the materials. The good trade relations with the Order and some Mamono helped very much. Nevertheless it took 7 months until we had everything. I myself was in neighboring kingdoms for a few months, always accompanied b…

Chapter Overview
7 Hope
For a while I forgot the worries of the world and weeks of happiness went by. Only me and Lara were important, because it was almost time. Not long now and we would be three.
Since the birth was imminent I had vacation and was home when it was time. Lara was in labor. I suggested carrying her to the hospital, but she refused. At least until the next contraction. I carried her on my hands to the hospital, where she immediately looked after her. I held her hand all the time.
It lasted over an hour but then she was there. We were so proud when our little Eleana was finally born. Holding her little hand filled me with pure joy. Lara and I were infinitely happy. We had become parents. We were a family. Not longer a couple. N…

6 The Beginning of the End
When the news reached the barracks, nobody could believe it. It had been 4 weeks since the attack of the werewolves. Now we knew why so many Mamono have been spotted lately. They were used as a distraction, but no one was willing to accept the truth. It was just too surreal.
Lescatie, the second strongest nation on the continent, had fallen.This mighty empire was overwhelmed in a single night. An army of Mamono had overcome all lines of defense and turned the country into a demon realm. From one moment to another, the war between humans and Mamono was practically in front of our doorstep.

5 Presage
Like every morning, I woke up with a smile, knowing that Lara was lying next to me. She reminded me every morning for what I was fighting for.
As promised, we had married after her passing certification as blacksmith. I had never been so nervous. As my best man Kai had his hands full to calm me down. But all the excitement was gone at the moment Lara entered the hall. In her white dress she looked like an angel. She walked gracefully to the altar. Her eyes shone with happiness and mine too. On this day all of our friends came to celebrate our wedding. They were all there, Kai, our parents and relatives, childhood friends a…
