Then Midnight only blocked the attack and said. "Then wield it and prove it to me!" He said holding the sword for her to grab it. "Take note, however, if you lie about this, I will personally make sure that humanity will not live past the end of this month!" He said, for the first time, showing emotion, and it was anger.

A Time of Legends

There are certain people in this world, now and in the past, that could be said that were favored by god or by several gods, those people influenced the world, some in a good way, advancing humanity to a new understanding, or putting the world in a era of peace, others can influence the world in a bad way, degrading humanity and putting the world through war...

---

In case you didn't realize from the paragraph above, you will be one of these people, but unlike every other historical figure, you will not be influenced by the gods, you are a intelligent created by a god(which you can also create though will not control) to influence the world however you wish, which means, you can do ANYTHING.

The setting(world and time) is still in the works, by the time there will be enough interest(hopefully) I will have the setting fully in place, and the character sheet.

A letter came back in response that same day, though at night:

King Nieldun,

I am a ambassador for my kind and I wish only peace between us, however even so, our two species are too different. We Shadows need darkness to live healthy lives, you humans need light to live healthy lives, so you can see how we cannot coexist.

And I do not wish to insult your archdemon friend here, but most demons are just insane creatures that want to kill everything in sight, only a few can abstain themselves from it, your friend can easily do that.

As for the attack, I can only presume it's a straggler from our last invasion that decided to join with humanity, I assume these Domani are your enemies?

Anyway, king, please leave, we do not wish humanity harm, we only wish to survive as you do, even in this restricted space we have to call our home.

@Aristocles

You got my interest, though while I don't want to pressure you, you should make a character sheet now...

They do find settlements, however they're abandoned and no Shadow lives in them, though the buildings, while old, were preserved as if they were frozen in time, as if no time had passed since the moment they were taken over by the Shadows.

Odd enough, not one human body was found there despite the brutality the Shadows supposedly possessed, now it seems that the shadows were more afraid of them than they were afraid of the Shadows.

Finally, hours later, a Shadow Fiend approaches them, though with no hostile intent. It raised it's arms to show it was not a threat, though a being whose hands were mostly blades, this wasn't too reassuring, however it started speaking in a oddly human tone.

"Humans, what are you doing here?" The Fiend asks. "We have not invaded you, so what are you doing here?"

"To exterminate you." Lord Bornetall answered bluntly, drawing his sword.

"Wait!" The Fiend said. "We haven't done anything to you, we just want a place we can call home as much as you humans do! After all, we're the only other intelligent species left on this continent!"

Lord Bornetall paused and signaled for his men to make camp, and for Archy to light up some demon fires to scare away any incoming Shadows and then sent a letter to Nieldun asking if they should advance any further. They may have the weapons to kill them, but that doesn't mean an ambush by the Shadows would be any less effective if they decided that they wanted to kill them. He then sends the letter and then awaits an response.

Nobody arrives in response, but no Tzieni troops come except a few scouts to check if it was actually true, though they leave quite fast with an impressed look on their faces, after that, nobody else comes.

When the reach Beh Ayan, another group of about 10.000 soldiers joined them. They were Ashkanian, but their clothing differentiated them from the regular soldiers, they were veteran members of Order of the Shadows. To add to it, the 200 automatons left it with Nieldun, to add to it, they were made of Stygian Iron and had small guns attached to them, which made them all the more effective against Shaodws.

As they advance in the Shadow Lands, the shadows seem to simply disappear as the Guardian Devils, Nieldun and Archy come through. The Shadow Fiends also hesitate to approach them .

"I remember!" Archy said. "The Shadows fear us, because our fire is the only one they can't extinguish with their shadow powers no matter what!" He said, transmitting this to Nieldun through telepathy.

@Mardox

Nope, he just wanted to conquer the world with his armies of horse riders.

It was supposed to be... but my damn browser crashed and I lost most of what I wrote, instead I had to write the short version...

War of Dominion Reboot

@Mardox

A day after the letter arrives, two dozen transport ships appear in Yakulla escorted by about 50 Wolastran battleships. They are the refugees that the Queen said about in the letter. However, about 200 metal humans descend from the ship and all surround three people. A young woman dressed in royal garbs, a young boy dressed in royal grabs, but one of his arms was made of metal. The last one was a very young girl, 5 years old.

Meanwhile, back in Wolastra, the 300.000 people that stayed to protect their homeland were prepared. Queen Marianna, knowing that they would lose if they tried to pit their own cavalry against the lighter and more mobile cavalry of the Domani.

As the Domani advance, however, they find similar tactics that Nastrond had used. They are not able to rest properly at night thanks to constant quick night raids that the Wolastrans are doing on them. Similar to the Slaughter, they line up advance camps with the bodies of the dead, smiles carved in their faces. While it doesn't have as much of an effect as it did on the Vaalgradi, it still heavily affects their morale.

The battle finally takes place only a few miles away from the fortress city of Arheimar. The Wolastran forces had dug trenches to cover them and stakes to blunt any cavalry charge. To add to it, a wooden palisade had been erected around the army, also weakening the effect of their archers.

The battle begins and the Domani come thundering down, the only infantry the Domani have, now push heavy battle rams to tear down the walls.

The first charge of the Domani is destroyed as their first line charges blindly into cannons, bows and rifles of the defenders. Many of the siege rams are also destroyed, making their jobs much harder. Seeing this, the morale of the soldiers is boosted seeing their enemy being mowed down so easily.

The day is filled with more charges that more or less end up the same, torn up by the bullets of the Wolastran riflemen. The first day had passed with almost no losses for the Wolastrans and heavy casualties for the Domani, things seemed to look good for the besieged, until, just like that, the doors to the palisades are open by seemingly a handful of traitors that quickly run to a makeshift deposit. However, when the Domani come thundering in the camp, they find it oddly empty... until a massive explosions rocks the camp.

The Wolastrans, knowing that their bullets and cannon balls are in short supplies, left a trap for the Domani as they retreated back of the fortress city of Arheimar. The explosion kills several hundred instantly, thousands more are wounded and severely burned...

It seems that this will drag on in a siege... and their target won't be an easy one...

Day 1:

Casualties: Domani: 30.000 lancer cavalry, 25.000 sword cavalry, 30.000 shock cavalry, 15.000 archer cavalry.

Wolastra: 800 spearmen, 600 swordsmen, 250 cavalry, 450 archers, 600 riflemen.

(Sorry for the crappy short version, my browser crashed... twice so I had to settle for the short version before my browser crashed again.

War of Dominion Reboot

They both lead horse riders across continents to conquer everything in their path(though for different reasons).

There should be a post about the battle between Queen Marianna and the Domani, so it might take a while to post it.
