(OCC: Ahhh... crap. Late to the party as usual, it must be the time zones, since you guys all started posting in the AM, or you’re all night owls. lol Hey DM could perhaps hold out on ending the fight? I want to join the fun before it’s all over. ^_^)
A summer’s night in the forest outside of town, Jake was walking down a small path that lead to the main road, which then came to Main Gate of the city of Defias.
Jake was far from his home of Tölgyfa Erdők, for the annual festival was this very night, a joyous occasion that marked the defeat of the dark god Azmorythe. Although many think Vadállat as aloof and uncivilized only the former was true, not the later.
Jake enjoyed festivals, especially this one. Although all were welcome in the city during the festival people on these lands always treated the Vadállat with some amount of suspicion and mistrust, so Jake wore a grey hooded cloak atop his usually wear as do not draw unwanted attention to himself.
Soon nearing the entrance of town Jake could see the massive braziers burring near the gate. "Ah, I have arrived at last, seems I'm just in time for the festival, the guards at the front gate aren’t at their posts." Jake mumbled to himself.
As he descended down the trail and came on to the main road a cold breeze blew across his face, so cold it blew out the huge braziers several yards away for a moment. "This cold breeze... Something isn't right... These lands have hot summers, even at night... such temperatures this low are nearly never felt."
Jake turned his attention to the sky, the once cloudless night sky soon became cloudy, Jake didn't like the looks of this. Lowering his head in thought he pulled one of the totems off of his Wolf Tooth Chain, the totem of bronze engraved with the image of a Raven. "Come forth Hollo!"
From the totem a black raven appear from a puff of smoke and circled Jake before landing on his outstretched and squawked in ear, as if asking why he had been summoned.
"This sudden cold snap and clouded sky worry me my friend." He explained to the raven. "Fly high into the sky and find out what you can, and then return." The raven squawked and flapped his wings taking off into the night sky.
At that moment a scream ripped threw the dark calm, soon followed by another. "What in the...?" Jake said startled. "It can from the city!" With these words Jake abandoned his cloak and took of running towards the city, although no guards where manning the massive gate, it was left slightly ajar, Jake ran threw this opening and stumbled upon the horrible sight.
Darkened beasts where killing the defenseless townsfolk, the King and his guards only barely fending off the beasts, protecting what few townsfolk they could.
"By the gods!!!" Jake cried out. "What manner of beasts are these things?" Jake cast aside his fear and reached for a trio of totems on his Chain, "Luna, Halm, Farkas! Come forth" in a puff of smoke three dire wolves appeared from around Jake, bounding to the ground and attacking the creatures, the leader among the wolves a male with a scare across his eye leapt atop one of the beasts and grabbed by the neck, and with one violent shake snapped its neck clean off.
The other two took down another beast nearby, one ripping its throat out with her fangs while the other pinned the beast by biting its leg.
Jake leapt into action as well taking a round shield off of his back and drawing a hand axe from his side. He roared into action charging one the beasts as it ate a villager on the ground, knocking the creature off and then slamming it against a house wall with his shield.
Giving the creature no time to react Jake cleaved the beast diagonally across the chest, killing it. Another came from behind, lurching forward as if to attack Jake while his back was turned, the wolf Luna saw this before Jake did and leapt onto the creatures back biting hold of its neck. The creature roared in pain and stumbled back trying to throw Luna off.
"Hold him still Luna!" Jake yelled. The wolf bit harder into the beast, giving Jake just enough time to pull his arm back and hurl his axe at the beast, striking it in the head, with a gusher of blood the beast fell dead on the ground.
Jake moved to retrieve his axe from the felled hulk, when a dark and sinister figure flew by as if flying, and stopped in front of the king, who was frozen in place by some unseen force.
His guards moved to stop the figure but the same force skewered the guards where they stood, the figure now stood looking at the King, an orb in an outstretched arm pointing at him.
