Unnamed Blegian Village
We were asked to hold this Belgian village, our goal was to hold off the Russian advance to allow military evacuation and reorganisation.
50 men volunteered to hold this village to hold off against armored cars and tanks. We've been able to hold this town for around 5 days. By then they’ve already evacuated and reorganized reinforcements should be coming soon.
James looked at his cards and then placed it down “I got a 20,”
“Come on dude! You’ve been winning for about five times now!” One of his CO’s said.
“I think it would be best for us to take a break before you get really mad. It would be bad for morale,” James said.
He looked over and saw his Norwegian brother in arms was praying and saying something in Norwegian although he typically doesn't interrupt people who are praying but curiosity got the best of him.
“Hey private Anders, who are you praying to?”
After finishing his prayer the man now known as Private Anders says “I’m praying to the god of War Odin. Well we don't have much ammunition and supplies left, chances of survival will be slim, so I’m hoping he allows all of us to go to Valhalla where warriors and soldiers go to after death where they feast with the gods. To get to Valhalla you must be brought in by a council of Vikings who decide whether or not you go to Valhalla,”
“Sounds interesting I don’t exactly believe in god but if such a place does exist I would hope to be allowed in such a place,”
As soon as he finished that sentence there was an explosion outside. Everybody jumped to grab their weapons till the door opened and a grenade was thrown through it.
“Grenade!” Yelled one of his CO’s. The grenade exploded and James was shattered by a rain of shrapnel.
He was surrounded by darkness till a man who appears to be a Viking spoke.
“You are a honorable soldier, I wish I could send you to Valhalla,”
“Honourable soldier? Honour Is impossible to find in a modern battlefield,” James told the Viking.
“I forgot how bloody modern warfare is. I would like to explain everything to you if you don’t mind. I forgot to introduce myself I am Thor Odin son the god of war,”
“I see explain to me what is going on?”
Thor ended up explaining to me I could go to Valhalla as I was accepted into the place but there was a world that has a problem with a demon king but there’s more to it. He also told me that my CO’s actually suggested that I take the offer as I am a more competent person for the mission. Thor agreed to their offer so he went to me to get my approval.
He also said that I am not the only one there that was already summoned, but his competency is very low. That gave James the assumption he's some kind of high schooler or is just really stupid.
“Can I have some time to think this over for a minute,” James asked Thor.
“Yes, take all the time you want, it took you time to set up the defense. It will take you time to decide this offer as well,” he said.
After thinking it over for some time James came to a conclusion he will accept the offer.
“I will accept the offer so what will I be?”
“You will be a spirit of course it will give you more versatility instead of being a normal human,” Thor said.
“I see thank you,” James said.
“Now go my warrior and bring that world who has no concept of etiquette and honour to justice!”
A blinding white light surrounded James as he was being summoned.
Royal Capital of the kingdom of Alaxendria, Royal Palace Summoning Cathedral
The cerulean blue lights forming the human shaped spirit were emanating from the Cathedral central statue, the gods sent them one of their spirits this time to aid in the hero against his campaign against the demon lord, but because this is the princess spirit she can use her spirit as she sees fit.
She continues her prayer to the gods “أنا أستدعيك ، وأدعو أبون الآلهة أنت لتهدي أحد أرواحهم. آمين” although the strain on her body is slowly getting worse she suppressed the pain and continues the summoning spell, when the spirit finishes forming, she stops her prayer, and lets out a sigh, the priests thats surrounding the summoning circle begins to clap.
“Congratulation Princess Alaxend on your first spirit, now lets see what you have summoned,”
The princess stepped up and said “Spirit of the gods. I am princess Victoria Victor Alaxend of the Kingdom of Alaxendria,” the princess said the oddest thing she noticed about the spirit is that he was wearing some sort of green clothing. What has the gods sent us? She thought to herself.
The man in the green clothing responded to her introduction with him introducing himself “I am First Lt. James, a soldier of the United States,” said the man now known as James.
“Alright then First Lt. James, I am your master and your my spirit,” She said “I can show you around the palace as I don't want you getting lost,”
He just nodded.
They exited out of the summoning cathedral and through the large double doors that lead to the cathedral she has practiced a lot with other people so this is natural to her it allowed her to think.
‘So this is my spirit,’ Victoria thought to herself ‘I haven’t heard him talk much, but he seems to follow orders well. Well I will have to wait for a bit to learn more about him. I wonder if I can have him fight alongside the hero?’ the princess thought.
After showing James around the royal palace she then went up to one of the many butlers of the palace.
“Mr. Greenwood, can you arrange a room for James?”
“Of course your majesty I will see right to it immediately,” the older man said.
“Thank you,” said the princess, “James, while we wait for you quarters to get set up, there are some things I would like to ask you,” she asked.
“Go right ahead,” the soldier said.
“Well… Do you know any magic, because most spirits that do get summoned do know at least some magic, I just want to be cautious,”
When James was about to answer her question time stopped and he began to fade into darkness. In front of him was Thor again.
“Forgive me for forgetting not teaching you magic,” the Viking said.
“It’s alright, I don’t expect everybody to be perfect,” the soldier forgiving the god.
“Thank you, but now onto the topic of magic, what kind of magic do you want?” The god asked.
James thought about this for a while till he came to a conclusion, a type of magic that is versatile and it’s only limit is imagination, and the only kind he can think of is creation magic.
“Creation magic, because it can be versatile if used properly,” James said.
“I see, good choice if I was given a choice I would’ve chosen that, If lightning isn’t available,” Thor said.
“Thank you for helping me out Thor,”
“No problem after all it is my duty to help guide the warriors to Valhalla and I shall do the same with you!”
After that the darkness slipped away to a time frozen world after what felt like a few seconds time resumed.
It was right after when Victoria asked the question
“The type of magic I know is creation magic and that is the only kind of magic I know,” he responded to her question.
“I see thank you for telling me it will be useful against the demon king's armies,” she said.
“The demon king's armies?” He asked.
“For now I will explain it to you at the celebration party for my successful summoning of a spirit,”
As soon as she finished that sentence Mr. Greenwood came by “Princess Alaxend, Mr. James, your spirits quarters are prepared,” said the butler.
“That was fast!” Exclaimed James.
“Yes with the power of spirits and magic we can get things faster than without magic!” The butler said “Now if I may show you your quarters?”
“That will be okay,”
The Elven Royal Capital of Jurusili Royal Palace
He was breathing heavily, behind him were the knights of the empire and the Emperor's daughter who decided to join him for support and combat experience.
“Are we getting near the throne room, Maria?” Said the hero.
“Yes, if we round the corner to the left we should be at the throne room doors, Muno!” Said Maria.
“Good! Get prepared for a tough fight!” right when he said that an arrow hit one of the knights.
“Ludwig!” Yelled one of the knights.
The arrow landed right in between the slits for his helmet. He fell down in agony.
“Take out that archer!”
“Got it!” He dashed forward dodging the whistle of the arrow cutting through the air. The goblin tried to fire another arrow at him but was cut down by the hero's sword. Muno ran back to the knight. The arrow was still in his eye and it was bleeding.
“Is he okay!” Muno asked.
“Yes he is for now but he won't be able to fight for a while,” Said Princess Maria.
“Will… I be able-(Cough) able to see my daughter again?” Ludwig asks.
“Yes you will, I will make sure of that,” I say.
“Leer, take Ludwig back to camp, we will handle things from here,” Muno ordered.
“Right,” Leer dutifully did his job as he was ordered as he was ordered by the hero. He picked up Ludwig with his arm around his neck and lugged him back through the way they came from.
“Right,” Muno said to himself “ let's defeat the demon king!” The hero yelled, earning a chorus of yells from the knights and the princess. “Maria, you said the entrance to the demon king throne room is to the left down the hallway?”
“Yes it is,”
“Right let's go and defeat the demon king, and end this decade of tyranny,” Yelled the hero.
They began running, they then took a left turn and right in front of them were two large double doors.
“The demon king's chambers,” said one of his knights.
“Yes we are here,” Monu opens the door open with the knights behind him. The door was heavy but he was able to open it after trying.
The door was fully open; he looked out to the throne and saw what he assumed was the demon king. He was very humanoid looking but he committed atrocities after atrocities and men like him should be killed, it is disgusting that a nation of these cruel people was even allowed to form, he remembers reading about the genocide the Yugoslavians commited during the 90s or the americans who dropped a nuclear bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki because they have no honour, and the Emperor surrender japan cause he is a coward, I can’t believe nobody kept on fighting the americans even if they bomb the entire archipeligo; they should’ve just rolled over when we bombed the pathetic Island they call a harbour. None of that now I need to focus on removing the demon king.
“Demon king! You are nothing but an evil in the world, and I, Monu Shiroi shall remove you myself, the hero of the Presian empire and humanity!” Monu said.
The demon king stood up “There is somethings I want to say to all of you, the truth about this war,”
“Really, why should I let someone who commits genocide against humans and is a leader of an already evil race, who don’t deserve to exists, I will exterminate every single demon from this world if I have to!” The hero yelled “ضربة نيزك” (darbat nyzk) a beam of light emanated from his sword. The light then struck the demon king only painting the throne red in his blood.
*Pant* *Pant* *Pant* Princess Maria ran up to him and hugged him very hard “Congratulations Hero Monu Shiroi. That speech of yours about demons being evil and such is very inspiring. Can’t wait to tell father about our adventures together!” She happily exclaimed.
“Yeah let's head home,” Monu said.
When William saw the hero and his crew leave the throne room he exited from his hiding spot with the other senators.
“We are lucky the ‘hero’ didn’t bother checking the rest of the throne room,” said one of the senators.
“Yes we were lucky,” said Prince William “We are lucky that the empire is somehow isn’t aware that there is the royal family and senate as well, but what does he mean by demons?”
“I’ve heard rumors about the water being drugged with some sort of spell that causes delusions and makes you gullible with people of power. It’s only rumors,” said the head of intelligence.
“But we’re elves, what did we do to deserve this,” prince William who muttered to himself.
“What should we do Princess William?” Asked another senator.
“For this I will need your agreement we’re a democracy and I want to have your approval on this,” everybody nodded “I suggest we make an alliance with the Kingdom of Alaxendria. Since it was Presian forces that attacked us unprovoked, and it was the Empire of Macedonia who was pressuring us to attack the kingdom, I say we do the opposite,” The prince suggested.
“What are you insane, our people are gonna get enslaved and killed by the Demon Lord!” said a noble.
“Although it might not be a popular opinion amongst you all or maybe even the people, it's the best chance at survival, are we in an agreement?” The prince asked. Everybody was muttering to each other about what to do.
“We are in an agreement, but we need to do this at a secret place so no one hears about this till we officially announce it,” one of the senators said.
‘“Yes I have a place in mind that can work,”
“All right, your orders my prince?” The generals and head of intelligence, and other advisors kneeled in front of him.
“I want you to send spies to the kingdom of Alaxendria and order them to pass on the message that's there's something more to this war, and send a diplomat to the Grand Duchy of Vieno, one of the few states in between the kingdoms!” The prince ordered.
“At your will my prince!” All the advisors and senators said.
William felt a headache begging to form “I will be retiring to my quarters for a while. Call me if anything comes up. Also tell any of the remaining maids to help clean up the mess that monster made.”
“He heard a chorus of yes your majesty. Not caring what they say because he was tired and just wanted to get some sleep before the true hell begins.
William exited through the large double doors, he saw the dead body of the archer that was one of the royal guards, that was a part of the elite force that was the last line of defence against an invasion.
He felt himself nearly vomit in his mouth, but he kept himself from doing so.
He walked down the bloodied hallways, corpses were everywhere, a testament to the royal guards bravery, he could hear his boots splashing the blood on his boots but he didn’t care.
He could feel anger and resentment towards the hero. But when he came across the place where the royal family allowed the citizens to hide. He saw a sin unforgivable, the entire room was filled with the corpses of men, women, and children. They were raped and then killed, for being elves, and he has the audacity to call himself a hero!
Even more anger boiled inside of him, he then remembered what his old master said many years ago
He tried hitting his master but he dodged again, when he came back for another round he dodged again, at that point he was already angry “Why you keep dodging, are you scared to hit me!”
“You mustn’t let anger control you, you control the anger, if you do that then you can overcome almost any odds, no matter how many men you face, with swords if you let the anger control you, you won’t win,”
He didn’t understand at the time why he said that or what situation he would use that in, but now he understood.
He drew his sword, its eagle sword blade, a testament to elven metallurgy, maybe not as good as the ancient civilization metallurgy, but good enough to the point where it can easily cut through the Presian empire armour.
“I will avenge you, my people,” he muttered to himself.
When he finally arrived at his room, the hallway wasn't filled with the dead bodies of guards, the hero never checked this area, all that was left was the blood trails left by his boots.
He opened the door, and found it cleaned as well, before entering the room, he took his boots off so he didn't get the floor all bloody, he then went to bed. That night he wouldn’t sleep well.
Ok bud, this chapter needs some work. You have a bunch of words missing through the whole chapter, and words that do not belong where they are.
