I was standing near Creedius when a loud "boom" went off , the Vergelten had overrun the citadel.

Their leader took out half of core tree in one attack when it fell it would have crushed the capital city but Sabrina had stopped it while we were busy trying to figure out what had just happened it was too late.

"What do we do?" Creedius said, looking panicked as he finished his question, the door to the garden blew open and a large, centipede like creature sprung in, followed by a large black lady covered in jewelry. She stared at us and in an instant I knew she was strong.

"I'm sorry.." She said, her voice sonorous and it's tone lacking empathy. When she had finished, Creedius threw a handful of seeds towards the giant insect, the seeds cracked open and entangled the bug, restricting its movement and tightened until a crunching could be heard.

She snickered, "Kill it, it's nothing compared to what you will face."

She pulled off the ring that was on her pinky finger of her left hand and threw it to the ground and stepped on it. A poof came from the centipede and the vines fell to the ground, the presence of the centipede had vanished.

"You chose the wrong place to fight me." Creedius said smiling, the plants in the room rising.

"Hey, you can go on and help the others." Creedius said to me.

"I got her." I began to run towards the door but before I could reach it, it was blocked by a large brown tail followed it up to its body. What I was looking at was a Cyclaster, I had never see one this big, it looked from the girl to me, its large tusks were popping with electricity and before I could react, its tail swung at me and it hit me with such a force I felt a few bones break. I flew towards the wall, the electricity from the beast had messed up my nerves and I was unable to stop myself when I hit the wall. My vision went blank, feeling the wall break and the morning air against my skin. I was still in free fall when I regained my vision and I was headed to the forest near the wall to the "outside", I fell to the ground the trees had slowed my fall.

"You know Saanvi will want to know about this?" A crackly voice said from behind a tree.

I pulled myself up with the help of a tree near me, staring at the owner of the voice and saw Lechies. His face was twisted in what looked to be a smile but it was hard to tell when a demon smiled.

"Why do you look at me like that old friend?"

"Why are you here? Where is Sannvi?" I asked.

"She's preparing for the takeover, and how did you get hurt?" He asked.

"I wasn't hurt." I said as I began to stand when I heard the bones pop back in place.

"Why do you stay in that form?"

"I don't need to anymore." I said as I bent down and began to change, I got shorter and I felt the horns pop out of my head and my legs bend to hooves.

"Shall we go?" He said, stepping into the shadow of the nearest tree. I followed him through the shadow and we were teleported to the edge of the forest near the wall, protecting the people of Pandora from demons like me was its only purpose.

"Should we help Sannvi out and take down the wall?" He said.

"Why not?" I said, putting my hands to the ground beneath the front of the wall. It began to crumble and hands made of bone began to protrude outward from the wall. The wall was at least 25 ft thicc but I could still take it down. The bones were piling up now, it was enough to make what i needed.

"Age of creation." I murmured, the bones began to link together forming a giant. It was at least 45 feet tall, almost as tall as the wall. It pulled back its massive fists and punched, rock fell from the wall and guards from all over the wall began towards it. The giant kept punching each time, the ground shook and more of the wall began to break apart. Guards began launching water and other weak elemental attacks towards the giant but as soon as they broke it, it repaired itself with the near unlimited supply of bones in the ground.

"Take care of them for me." I said, the Lechies was looking at them. In the light I could see he was wearing rags and his shoes were backwards. The guards were still attacking and some earth users were trying to repair the wall but it was no use they were too weak.

"Sure." He walked back into the shadows of the forest, behind us he drew his blade out and began to transform into his true form, he was nearly as tall as my giant. He swatted at the guards with blades, their bodies cut in half as they fell to the ground, blood being sprayed everywhere, their agonizing screams could be heard as they attempted to run. A dozen bodies fell as Lechies cut them down, he was at least 40 feet tall, his horns curved back and explosion heard from far behind me. I quickly turned around, it had come from the direction of the citadel. Smoke was coming from the largest tower, their blasts of fire and water could be seen. I turned back to the wall and laughed, they have no idea what is coming. I forced the giant to body slams itself in to the wall, it came descending alongside the giant Lechies. Leches would return to his normal size, rushing over next to me.

"Let's hurry now, we don't want to keep her waiting."

We ventured into the land ahead, it was dry and little vegetation could be seen, in the distance little demons and both weak demons could be seen crawling, flying, and some fleeing towards the hole in the wall.

"Good bye Pandora.." I said, looking back one last time, an all out war was blooming and I stood there watching.
