It all started on a the darkest night of all. An unearthly scream wrought the night on That night, the darkest demon and brightest hero were born. A world was changed forever, (or at least that's what the bards have sung). There were times where someone who needed help. Well you can bet that wasn't me because i'm a mercenary. I'm a gun for hire, but back to the story.

I was a youngling and a odd one at that. I had no particular interest in anything except two things: A money, and B swords. My only friends were my sister emma a talented swordswomen and my best friend in the world, Diana, who was a swordsmith and a wonderful friend. My squad and i trained harder than everyone else and by 20 human years, we were still only in the end of our primary school as humans call it. We were the advanced class because we were the best younglings in our species. Our species in 1000 human years is 1 year for us, so we were the highly advanced class and we were already a highly deadly fighting force with only 30 of us.

That's by human standards, but by kimera standards, we were above average but lazy and while yes our instructors were highly awaiting the newly founded test, they were kinda disappointed with our progress because we were falling in a bad routine of lazily completing missions and the tasks given to us but they didn't predict it would cause a great catastrophe

Two weeks later

The instructors called us together and said stay together we were going into a part of the school we haven't seen before and we were told to tell no one about this we got into a room with runes all around the room and my mage in the squad gasped and asked why are we going to a demon summoning chamber the instructors said a test we all went silent the tunnel was erie we all were silent the only sound that was made was water dripping down the wall and falling onto the floor we had a few more steps until we reached the chamber every step my nerves were on edge and i had my hands on my swords hilts i was nervous the instructors said stop here we stopped one of them muttered something and a swirling orb that iminated a warm glow appeared we went through it and and we saw nothing it was blank absolutely nothing except an altar which i recognized it was an altar to the demon of death which would explain the blank dimension the instructors walked up to the altar and told us stand to the side of the altar we stood and watched them the mage in our squad was reading the spell to summon the demon while the instructors chanted he said they got a few kew word wrong he told us that they accidentally summoned the demon of betrayal in The wrong dimension we all rushed to the portal and when we came out there was silence we ran for the exit when we got out we saw her the demon of betrayal i ordered my squad to attack before it could use its magic but our mage said it already has one of our squad mates said shit what do we do i said we kill it so it can't become stronger everyone started to object but emma cut in with sir yes sir so we went to work hacking and slashing using magic and stabbing its vulnerable spots we were slowly but surely killing it and finally we were able to kill it but we were too late to save our race form absolute madness in a single night our race seemed to go from sprawling cities to crumbling ruins and burnt out husks my squad ran from the only place we had ever called home into the wilds of the world some were scared some excited and some were down right in shock of what they'd seen but we marched on treating the wounded and fighting if need be but we had to keep going we had to leave behind those we lost those dead were grieved for and will be missed but we had to keep going one a guy collapsed in a heap crying and saying to leave him i told my sister carry him she said ok and picked him up and jogged after us we marched for a few more hours finally coming upon a cave small enough to not be noticed but big enough to hide us from any person that would want to attack us i felt safe for the first time since entering the demon summoning chamber i asked emma if she could go hunting in the morning and she said yeah she would and i said ok people get camp set up everyone said in unison yes squad leader told my second in command to take over he said ok then i started to set up my tent when i was done i layed down my head emma climbed in with me and layed down i fell asleep and woke in the middle of the night to find emma curled up hugging me and i fell back to sleep i started awake emma had gone apparently i looked to the side of my tent and there was a shadow looming outside my tent my senses must have woke me i slipped out to see what it was and i found cook he said morning he was cooking bacon on a fire i said that's good it'll help morale i asked where emma was he said she went out hunting but she said she will be back by noon and she went scouting to see how the city is but i don't think it'll be good considering that there were already fire's last night i told him to keep on cooking he said bye i went over to the medics tent and asked how much emergency medicine do we have the medic said a months worth i asked what if we started making our own he said unless we started a permanent camp there's no way we could i asked where would we need to set up camp he asked why do you need to know i said because i would look into it he said our best bet would be to head to people unaffected this has happened before like the fairies they aren't affected by the magic of demons i said ok when do you think we should leave he said well the best time would be night time i asked can't they see us though i heard from behind me nope not with the cloaks we were given we were their stealth team remember i turned around to see emma with a dead deer slung over her shoulder and i asked when did you shoot that she replied this morning i asked how are the deer population doing she said well i've killed two already we stayed in that camp for two human months and got our stuff and had to leave supplies had dwindled to low to sustain us
