Hessil

Spine tingling screams were heard from most of the forest. "AH AH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH," was the most distinct sound, but along with the chilling high pitched scream of a young women being decapitated helped along. Just walking around, Lilla was killing most of the villagers. She was slicing and dicing them, with no emotion as their blood splattered on her face. She even took no mind to what was going on, to her, this was just like lambs coming to a slaughter. "It seems they have all gone into hiding, but in the shadows, is where I lurk," stepping into the dark, she could sense a mass gathering of bodies in a large house. "Fools," another flash, and she was outside of the house. Grabbing the door, she broke it off and tossed it aside like a piece of paper.

Screams of men, women and child were blurted out. The light shone through the door, making a shadow of Lilla, and making her the center of attention, and that nearly cracked a small grin on her. Quickly raising her hand up, everything went silent. "Good. Now listen carefully, if you want the smallest chance of surviving, then you will want to hear this proposition. If you agree, then you will be rewarded unmeasurable honor, you will feel what each human being fears most, you will be the choice humans the Gods will give unimaginable gifts, and power. And all you must do, is come outside." No one moved, they all tried to take in what was said, but only a few grasped the concept. Women with children, and men with nothing all stood up and went outside. "Is that all?" Immediately, some teenage looking boys ran out. "No more?" No one else stood up. "Now wait here," with that, she walked out and everyone watched intently, waiting for their doom.

Looking at the small group of people, she said "Of course, the Gods do not want those who hold things dear to them like a child, and they don't want traitors to their own kind to even look at them. And you all fall into those category's." Putting her hand out, the shadows began to move towards the citizens, slowly. They all didn't know what was going on, and they wouldn't have looked at their own shadows.

Not too long, they were all surrounded by shadows. A quick flick of Lilla's wrist, the shadows rose up and over the group of people standing next to each other. The shadows fell, and each person disappeared as the shadows went back to their original places. The shadows of those who were their, rose up, and were formed into their exact likeness. Except, they were girded with armor, that was made out of pure darkness, and weapons were formed the same way. So my army is to be grown through the bodies of humans, and their own shadows. How ironic, their oldest and most intimate friends, was always trying to kill them. Walking back to the others, she did the exact same thing. Bit by bit, my army grows.

Send a signal if you can.

"I very well plan on doing that," leaving the bloody body of a man on the ground, Lilla walked over to her army. She grabbed one of the lizard assassins, and gave it a note. "Take this note to Schiendi, you will find Asahara easily. But don't be fooled by her." The lizard bowed and quickly fled from her presence.

That lizards fate is sealed. Where his body lies, thousands more will step in. But, I must not make too large of an army, or I will appear weak. No one can kill me, army or no, I am the best.

Lilla's plan was to kill every human, and make an army to fear. Contrary to that, she didn't want them to have the glory of killing everyone.

Moving silently to the vine walls of the mysterious city of Biyong, the small task force of the Southern Moons army perfectly blended in with the darkness. Many guards were patrolling the great wall, completely unaware of the impending doom. It was near midnight in Hessil, and the attack had nearly begun.

Taking a rest from a long patrol, one of the guards and a fellow soldier were sitting on some stools looking out. "It's been a long day," said one of the guards. The other smirked, "Ya, and the whole day I could see blurs everywhere, but it was just the trees." The guard then stood up, and leaned up against the wall. "I think I should quit this job. My wife keeps saying we need to move to Taivas, and find something safer." Below, the task force had begun climbing the vines that hung all over the wall. The other guard stood up and put his hand on the others shoulder, "Ya, I kept thinking I want to move to a quieter place, away from all the beasts." A few of Lilla's soldiers had made it over the wall, and they started on the hunt. A few were now surrounding the talking guards, timing their movements past the flames mounted on the wall.

"It's a deal then, tomorrow we'll both move to Taivas," they shook hands and smiled. After they finished, on the them picked up his helmet. Putting it on, he saw something dart past the flame nearest to him. Picking up his spear, he held it at the ready. Slowly stepping forward, he jabbed at the darkness... but hit nothing. He turned around saying, "Hey, you know-" his sentence was cut off. His friend turned around, "Do I know... where'd you go?" He grabbed the torched next to him, holding it in front of his with his sword in the other hand. "Stop fooling around," he had a little bit of fear in his voice. Taking a few steps forward, he tripped on one of the stools, causing it to fall down and him with it. On his way down, he dropped his sword and torch. The sword clanged on the stone as it fell off the side. His torch was barely in front of him, and as it flickered, he saw a brown boot.

The original numbers surrounding him had become smaller as they went to clear the wall. The remaining three were playing with him, having some fun. "Why are you on the ground?" He stood up, picking up his torch. Holding it far out, the light climbed up the body. It ended on the neck line, since there was nothing left to light up. The had of the dead body had been severed, causing a pool of blood to gather at the mid-neck line. The guard let out a small yell, but it was gargled as blood climbed up his throat. Having barely enough time before he died, the flame had shown the face of a beast, the likes he had never seen. He dropped to his knees and then fell to the ground, a knife sticking out of his chest.

All across the wall, dead bodies were littered. The next task was to open the gate, making anyone amount of noise to alarm the rest of the city, it was under attack.
