The End-Days War

Chapter 3: The Wild Hunt

                                
           The Ranger took Iris with him and they both walked the Earth together and they were on the Dark Road. The Road was very long and very perilous especially at night with the Demons roaming the world and it's people. The people live here to fight to the death against these wretched creatures that devour any that they see. Those who lived long enough after a long battle were the only lucky ones and the weaker people are doomed to die. The Ranger risked everything to to go his way and save his land from the Demons that live and roam these very lands.
Beware, Ranger for I know what it is that you yearn for, but I also know what it is that you seek in this life. I can let you see it all through until the end and I can allow you to see that even you can fail to defeat EVERY Demon that you come across. Of course, your Journey is not over yet and probably it never will end, perhaps you are cursed to live until every single Demon is dead. Remember and understand this, Ranger, you have Iris along with you and you must teach her your ways if you wish for her to survive the Night. Farewell, for now.

Ragnar and Iris Continued to walk on the Long Road that was before them all and they were walking until the Afternoon came for them. But it was morning time as they were walking, and Ragnar began to feel tired after all of this Walking that they have done. Ragnar and Iris walk by a nearby tree that was before them and he began to stare at it for some time before doing anything else.
"We will rest here, for now," He said.
"How Long will we be here?" Iris asked.
"We will be here until the Afternoon comes and then we can be on our way, again."
And as he sat down, Iris began to sit down with him and she began to look at him for a few moments and she began to ask him a question. "Ragnar. What happens now?"
"You Know What happens now," Ragnar said. "We rest here and we go out and we will find you some Armor to where and Weapons to defend yourself with."
"What kind of Armor will you actually give me?"
"The right type of Armor that will suit you perfectly. Trust me, Iris. We will make it through, if only you just stay close with me and you will be alright."
Then, Iris had nothing more to say or ask to Ragnar and then she stares out into the Sky and she begins to see the many clouds that were before her. The clouds of the Sky were still from where they were standing and almost every one of them looked exactly the same. Then, Ragnar began to lie himself onto the Tree and he rests himself from all the things that he has done last night. Iris sees that he was a very tall yet very tired man who hunts the night and barely gets enough sleep for himself. Then, Iris also lies down and she began to get some rest and she covers her legs with her arms and she sits her head down and she rests for a bit.
Then, Ragnar gets himself up a bit and raises his left arm and he wraps it around Iris and he begins to hold onto her and he warms her up. Iris began to feel that Ragnar was doing this to her and she didn't realize this was happening until now.
           "What are you doing?" She asked.
"Relax," Ragnar said. "It's gonna be a long yet cold morning. You might as well be warmed up a bit."
"Well, I feel quite fine. Thanks though."
"Sure, no problem. Now, let's get some rest."
And so, Iris lets him warm her up from the cold wind that blew hard onto them and she rests herself with him. She began to feel good that she was being warmed up for it was always being cold in this part of the World. In this part of the World, it was always either really Cold or really warm depending which way anyone would look towards. The same could not be said for the Demons that lurk around here, for they were strong and wicked creatures of the Night. They could not feel any of the Cold Temperatures that were revolving around them neither did they feel the hotter temperatures.
           Then, Afternoon came for the two of them and Ragnar opens his eyes and he was awake from his slumber. It took him a while to actually get himself up and then he pulls himself up and now he was fully awake and was ready to move.
           "Iris. Get up," he said.
           Ragnar patted Iris on her arm to get her up from the ground and they could be on their way again.
           "What is it?" Iris asked.
           "We must be going. We've rested long enough," He said.
           "Oh, alright. Where are we going?"
           "For now, we're going somewhere to eat first and then we'll be looking for some Armor for you. Now, let's get going."
           Then, Ragnar holds out his hand and he pulls Iris up from the ground and she was now standing up with him. And so, they were walking again and they found themselves walking out into the World onto the Long Road Before them. The Road goes ever on and on, over rock and under trees, by caves where never sun has shone, and streams that never find the Sea. They walked onto this long Road and they began to see all of the World before them, the Mountains, the fields, and the trees. They walked on their feet until they come across a little town with an Inn that was before them and only a few people ever walked in here.
            And so, they walked inside of the Inn and they began to see the people that were in here and they didn't stare at them, they minded their own business here.
