Zell and Kaitlyn made their way down the road that led to the demon lord's domain. Along the way they passed numerous small towns and villages that had all been abandoned. The demon lord had pulled all of the outside citizens closer to the castle so that he could protect them from the ravages of war. It was also his way of increasing his experience point gain.
"Zell?" Kaitlyn asked.
"Yes?" Zell replied.
"Are you really going to kill the demon lord?" She asked.
"That all depends on him." Zell responded. "It is not my intention to kill him, but if he has forced my hand, which is another matter."
"Right." Kaitlyn said.
They continued their journey and as the sun set they could see the outline of the demon lord's castle out in the distance. Small huts lined the road in rows, all of the evacuated citizens were housed here. "Looks like we found everyone." Zell said, as they began to walk past the huts.
