Chapter 4 xexino, Judas, Athena, Apollo, Boreas, and Deimos all hurry back to their horses, all of them seem to be unharmed not a dent on their armor except xexino his chain armor around his neck was ripped to shreds. Wow, xexino I'm surprised you survived, they all laugh, the sound of horses mixed with the beautiful sunset was enough to bring anyone joy. The sound of horses gallops away in the distance. They all reach the kingdom. I still can't believe it's that short of a ride back to the castle from here. They chain their horses up at the stables and enter the HQ. So was the mission successful? the squad commander who assigned the mission says. Yes sir all the goblins in the village have been slain Athena follows. good and what about yourselves are you all ok? yes, we all are fine but my inner chain armor was destroyed. That's going out of your paycheck by the way. go up to the armory there should be a spare set there yes sir, xexino goes up the stairs to the armory. He opens the door and replaces his armor then hurry's back down the stairs. As soon as he gets back down the squad commander dismisses them. Hey, guys let's go back to the bunks and get some rest. They agree and head back to their bunks. So how did you all feel about today's mission? Athena asks. "I almost got my throat ripped out by a goblin damn bastard wouldn't let go" they all laugh. Let's go to bed guys it's getting late they all agree and head to bed.
The sound of alarm bells ring, WAKE UP BATTALION 13, 9, 6, 4, 16, AND 3 THE ROYAL CASTLE IS UNDER ATTACK I REPEAT, WAKE UP BATTALION 13, 9, 6, 4, 16, AND 3 THE ROYAL CASTLE IS UNDER ATTACK. Battalion 13 rushes to the armory as fast as they can. They put on their armor and bolt to their horses and head to the royal castle without saying a word. Their horses bolt off going upwards to 60 miles per hour heading to the royal castle. The sound of alarm bells and the words Everyone take shelter the royal castle is under attack from the kingdom alert division ring throughout the kingdom. The horses bolt past houses, they turn the entire road into a dust field. The horses run past the citizens almost trampling them like ants. They finally reach the royal castle. The smell of blood and the feeling of Malice flow thru the air. They approach the gates to enter the castle. blood, body parts, and intestines are strewn across the walls. The smell alone is enough to make someone's stomach turn. the horses gallop past the royal guard's bodies. They approach the throne..... Why isn't anyone here.... where are the intruders... Don't tell me did they get away? all 6 battalions are questioning what's happening. BEHIND US LOOK! everyone turns around. Black shadows slowly walk up to the 6 battalions in a triangle pattern. The 6 battalions are frozen in fear. Xexino tries moving to attack the intruders but he cant. Ḓ̸̌I̵͌̂S̶̈Ṕ̶̝E̵̎̀Ř̷̅S̵̀̕E̸͚ ̵̆͗ the shadow in the front says. All the shadows rush at the battalions in a V shape. The shadows slice the throats of the knights one by one as if it's butter. Battalion 16 dead...... Battalion 3 dead....... Battalion 4 dead........ Battalion 9 dead..... Battalion 6 dead... All that's left is battalion 13[9:38 PM]One of the shadows looks xexino dead in the eyes and smiles. No one can move It's as if they have been frozen in the Ninth Circle of Hell. The Ninth Circle of Hell is a frozen lake in the depths of hell. Judas Is cut down by a shadow. the blood spews out of his throat... he is dead. A shadow vanishes and appears behind Athena and slices her head off. Athenas Head rolls onto the floor and her body drops. another shadow appears behind Apollo and stabs its hand through his chest and rips his heart out and crushes it. H̸̞́O̸̱̽W̵̼̎ ̷̣̒D̷̽̀A̷̛̞R̷̐̂Ẽ̴̆ ̵̾̒Y̷̔̍Ơ̷̮Ů̶́ ̵̓̋D̴̮̀O̶͊̌ ̴̏̾T̵̽͗H̷̜̚A̵̐̓T̸̠̐ ̴̔́T̶̉̇O̴͌̔ ̷̒̅T̸̉̇H̷͖͊E̸͍͑M̸̖̕ ̸̌̊ " ʰᵒʷ ᵈᵃʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᵈᵒ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵗᵒ ᵗʰᵉᵐ" Xexino screams the sound of him screaming echo through the kingdom. the shadows seem surprised but continue their attack. Next Boreas his arms and legs get ripped off from three shadows. As if they're enjoying it. Next, they crush his head. Then Deimos all the shadows except for one the one who had ordered them to kill the knights tear Deimos to shreds. They all dash to Xexino trying to kill him. H̶͍͂À̴̧L̸̡̀T̶̛̮ "ʰᵃˡᵗ" The shadow who ordered them to kill the knight's repeats.
All the shadows trying to attack Xexino Get flung into the floor, The floor breaks it as if the gravity of the sun has shifted onto their bodies there unable to move. The shadow who ordered the attack slowly walks up to xexino and caresses his face well aren't you a cute one a feminine voice repeats. It's as if the shadow turns into a gas and flows into xexinos body. Xexino is overflowed with power. His eyes grow black and he gains a black aura. Don't worry we are yours we won't harm you. The same voice of the shadow that was just in front of him repeats inside his head. the other shadows that were just crushed Get up and bow down to xexino. They all repeat at the same time... W̶e̸l̴c̷o̸m̸e̵ ̷m̷y̷ ̷l̷i̵e̶g̴e̴ ̶ "ʷᵉˡᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᵐʸ ˡᵉᶦᵍᵉ" they atop talking. You don't have to worry anymore about anything and everything will be yours. Anything you desire will come true my king. You don't have to fret any longer you act as if you're a troubled lamb. Well, don't worry because I'm your queen now. The shadow from within xexinos head repeats.
