SanctuaryA scene of devastation

For ten kilometers in every direction dust choked out the sun

The once beautiful planes were now ravaged by conflictBurning wreckage and led bodies could be seen everywhereThe sky was black and thein a cried in a sea of blood

Their war had persisted for a number of hoursThis is what it had coe, to strike the final blow

Whether the Governor or the demon, both wielded power far beyond what a normal man could comprehendWhile it was stupendous to behold, those with keen eyes were able to see that Arcturus was slowly gaining the upper handBarring unexpected circumstance, Skycloud’s Master Demonhunter would come out on top

After all, the wasteland aranized forceThey didn’t have the equipht dragged on the further the wastelanders slipped behind

Wastelander weapons were si so they lacked organization and disciplineWeapons like rocket launchers were impressive, showy, and deadly when used properlyBut their aht, so the clunky blasters were useless now as they were beginning to lag behind

This was not so for Elysians

After fending off the initial wave of ferocious attacks the Elysians settled into their experienceTalented commanders wielded their forces like their own ar more obviousAfter the first assault wasteland forces broke apart into different groups and spread fro their way back out would be difficult to say the leastAs Elysian discipline took control the wastelanders found theled

They weren’t going to let these despicable thugs leaveIf they were stupid enough to attack once they would do it again! Peace would only be achieved when every heathen was dead!

Ha commander on the fieldFirst and fore his dutiesThat hen he made a choice the moment he saw Cloudhawk collapseHe sue to cut the cried ahead in two solid ranksIn their hands were Elysian crossbows at the ready

Glinting bolts were reflected in Cloudhawk’s eyes as he watched theether painfully, but despite his anger his body would not listen to hith left to stand, ht

Hammont’s solemn face was suddenly paleHe raised his hand and hesitated but held it ther

“Coive the order!”

“This man is one of their leadersAccolades for whoever spills his blood!”

Haht back years ago, toman in a dusty townHe and Cloudhawk had historyHe’d helped Haet to where he was today

But…

“Kill him!”

Dozens of crossbows fired in unison with spurts of rapid-fire destructionPerhaps a thousand bolts were cast toward Cloudhawk in an instant

It was overkill, but Cloudhaarranted itThey weren’t willing to underestimate the man who dropped a er with his teleport abilitiesThere was no telling when he’d blinked into their midst and crack open their fat commander’s head

But he couldn’t, not nowHe had nothing left

A wave of regret and helplessness washed over himEven someone like Hammy was out for his blood nowWas there anyone he wouldn’t one day have to fight?

Suddenly a figure placed itself between hiain and again, breaking in a cacophonous displayNot a single one pierced his defender’s flesh and they were scattered on the ground like sored hot

When Haain!”

Coal’s hulking fra ed ahead at the Elysians like an out-of-control tankA dozenaside as they tried to stop him, to no availThey screamed in pain, their bones shattered from the impact and their skin burned black

Ha themselves wildly at Coal“That’s the wastelanders’ super et in close, use the smoke!”

The moment the words left Hammont’s mouth, Coal roared and tried to silence his strike him and explodeThey didn’t hurt in the least but in the next ed into a smoky darknessHe spun around, coWhat’sto him, so that when he etAll he could do was rush around wildly and grope for anything to strike

“Forget about hieAlthough he hated the ic told hio and he beca, a man like Cloudhawk had the power to topple SkycloudHe shouted his order“Everyone on Cloudhawk!”

The soldiers raised their weapons only to find them empty a second laterSomehow, all at once their crossbows exploded into shrapnelA spear had screaround and was itself reduced to splinters

Another elite fighter had come to his defense!

The drunk appeared at Cloudhawk’s side“You alright, kid?”

Cloudhawk shook his head“Take Dawn and get out of hereMake sure to tell Gabby and the rest of them to retreat!”

Of course the drunk wasn’t about to leave Cloudhawk to be torn apartHe took up both he and Dawn, slinging them over his shoulders as Elysians closed in to block his path

Over-confident fools! He waved his sword almost flippantly at themThe men in his path yelped and stu wide open like a lobster’s shellStrangely, though, not a drop of blood was spilledIt was clear the drunk was holding back“Stop fighting and run for your lives!”
