     I sit in my room and darkness slowly engulf my body. My thoughts begin to darken. Thoughts of burning towns and the smell of fresh blood begin to make my mouth water. As I drift off in to my daydream.

      I'm chasing down my victim. My hands still bloody from the rest of her family. In this world they call me the Butcher because I "hunt" with a meat cleaver. I'll almost upon her I can hear her breathing start to get heavy. She is getting tired but not to tired to scream. I quickly advanced on her with my long strides. As I go to raise my blade to cut off her head. I hear loud thud  and feel something enter my left arm and slice all the way though and out my shoulder blade.

     Blood explodes from my shoulder blade. Dropping to the ground in pure shock thinking myself. Who did I leave alive, better yet who has the balls to raise a gun to me. My victim who had fallin 10 feet in front of me is beginning to regain her breath. I look around to see who had injured me and in a church door stood a man about 5"10' light build looked to be in his mid 30's and in his hand he held a crossbow. From the way he stood and his robes, two crosses.  I could tell he was of high importants in this church and that he was scared two things that I love the most. What would have became my next victim had already started running again. I stand and turn to the man and say "Look what you have done. I am now one short so I guess I will have to take your life in her place." I starts to advance up a hill towards him slowly. I can see him shaking badly.

    He looks like he is having a great deal of trouble reloading his weapon. He dropped some bolts and and they bounce pass me. He looks up to see and crys out "please don't..." But my cleaver cuts off his words and his head rolls down the hill spraying blood every where. I kick his body down the hill to chase his head. "Could have lived if you hadn't done anything" I said to his lifeless body.

     I begin to feel all the pain from the bullet hole. "I need to do this quick" I make my way back to the lady's house and grab her husband's body up off the floor and drag it to the middle of the town. I gather the other 10 remaining bodys I need from the near by house and place them all together in a circle. Digging a line from each body to the center. I stab all the lifeless and mostly headless bodys and watch there blood begin to collect in the middle.I place then begin to place the torches. One for each direction and then one in the middle where all the blood is collecting. As the blood fills up the whole I made in the middle, I begin my summoning of the Dark Lord. For a moment nothing happens then the ground shakes and cracks. The blood begins to seep into the cracks drying up the land. The cracks become wider and wider till it fills up the whole circle. The connection between the realms is locked. The smell of the dieing quickly fill my nostrils. I stand and look down upon the portal and He stares back. I quickly lower my gaze and kneel.

"Are your pleased with my work Lord"

He replies "Yes my son."

"This world is ready for your taking. If that is what you wish for my Lord"

"Nothing would please me more but do you think you are fit for this task"

"Yes,My Lord nobody in the nine worlds would be better for this job then me. If I had my army back to full strength this world would alright be yours."

"I will grant you 5 thousand of the lesser demons and if you do well with them and make a bigger portal I will send you more but if you fail me I will have you destroyed you understand. "

"Yes,My Lord thank you so much. If you don't mind would you kindly heal me?"

"Yes, then be off and on your way." Black shadows creep out of the portal and encase me. All the pain melts aways and the bullet wound closes.When I go to thank him he is gone. A thousand screams come out of the portal and before I can stand. Thousands of demons spill out. Lesser demons are the weaks and are most hideous of all demons. I look around and I mostly see Chasm Demons. Chasm Demons are rather tall, but usually hunched over. Their skin is a sickly grey with tinges of brown. They are well muscled, with hideously out of  bodies. The rest are aether Tam-Reks

(Tam-Reks are large, black-skinned brutes. They have pointed ears, but round human types bodies which, despite this, are very muscular. Their feet are cloven hooves which are surrounded by thick off white hair.) or goblins(small children size demons not capable of over much but are powerful in large numbers) As the hundreds continue to pour out of the portal I jump to the top of the nearest building and assemble them around me. I can't help but to smile. So many demons all under my control. Only problem is where do I start first???
