Thread: Fall of a knight (Mex Eternally Chaotic)

The Nyx laughed at Marcus, He was right that he would be in charge of ensuring he was delivered. He would not defy his king, they were gender neutral creatures, they didn't 'procreate' they were constructs, creatures made not born after all. It was this that made them one of the few creatures able to meet with the royal child that Marcus was destined to serve. As any demon that felt 'lust' would be a problem if they came in contract with them. A fact Marcus would learn. Oh, you mean like the kingdom to the north of your lands? Why don't you take a look to your left. The Nyx laughed cruelly, chained and walked in a line, The queen of the kingdom to there north, the two princesses, royal wizards, and the like all females were marched stripped bare as they were led to the throne room as they were higher quality slaves meant for more royal 'touch.' The kingdoms around had problems with demons but the attacks on the villages were paltry forces that were meant to distract Marcus's kingdom, while the bulk of demon forces ransacked the kingdom to the north killing the king and his sons, taking all the women of royal blood and marching them back to demon lands where who knew what kind of fate awaited them. Now there little kingdom will be in anarchy while lords fight over the remains like starving dogs. Perhaps enough to force your king to step in and take them over. Spreading the fertile soil that your people need to keep repopulating for more cattle. We as not so dumb little creature We know you humans just love to band together, create your little hero guilds send them off to defeat the evil demon king and come back with glory and riches. The demon king has seen fit to monitor our cattle, watch for you to make contact with other nations to beg for help. Then we attack, sending that kingdom into anarchy so your beloved king can take over the land expand his wealth. Not a bad deal hmmm? It only takes one human to sell out the others for power. Besides it's easier to disrupt one kingdom of ants then many smaller ones in the end. The Nyx said cruelly leading Marcus on. It had suggested that the king of his country knew what was going on and worked with the demons. True or not Marcus would never know, Nyx's were known for being Liars but also known for delighting in the cruel truths. So it was hard to tell which it was telling him. Outside the castle was... Strange... A black metal city, creatures walking around as if simple villagers. It looked like the capital if only populated by monsters. Slender fingers wrapped around Marcus's stomach as the Nyx launched it's self into the air. Soaring on black leathery wings heading to the sea. Below Marcus could see vendor's selling 'fresh humans' for meats or breeding. Gruesome as it was it was little better then they treated cows or pigs. The Nyx would fly with Marcus heading to the sea over demon lands. The demon lands he would know were barren and warscared wastelands and yet near the capital. Deep dark forests, open grasslands, much of the land was covered in vibrant nature. Strange to think a war race known for such darkness would live so close to so much nature. Yet for as far as the eye could see even so far up. There was nature, the only things that stood out was the black city and the a large dome shape in the far distance they seemed to be flying at.
