MY STORY, WHICH IS CRAP NUGGETS.

[Fennec]

This Is Darkness

Part One: The Traitor

Chapter One:
Wall of Claws And Teeth


I catch only bits and pieces of the battle taking place around me; everything seems to move in slow motion. The silver flash of a blade as it slices into one of my warriors. The cry of a man lying in a pool of blood near my feet. For a moment, I pause my fighting, wanting to help the poor soul. But I see his innards hanging from his torso and I know he is beyond anyone’s help. My heart shudders in my chest. This battle is a nightmare.
I’m so caught up in my grief that I almost don’t move fast enough. A Darkling warrior lets loose an arrow that whistles past my cheek, so close that the air it displaces moves my hair. I dart forward and quickly take her out with a single swipe of my sword. I am silently cursing my stupidity. Standing still will get me nothing but a very swift end.
I survey the battlefield, figuring out my army’s next moves. We are certainly gaining the upper hand, driving the Darklings out of the city. It is time to end this battle.
