Chapter 24 by Defamir

What are you doing with the Paladin?

Kill her of course, stupid question if you ask me.

As you ponder your possibilities with the hero, two others move in behind her. One is a spellcaster of some sort and the other one is a rogue.

The healer is a petite blonde, with small breasts (erm, aren't you in a fight and stuff why you looking at these things) and long flowing hair that nearly reaches her butt. She wears very revealing white clothes and a long staff with a round orb at its end, this and her clothes make her seem like a healer to you, so probably here to buff the other two.

The rogue was a slim boy clad in a completed suit of leather armor that even blocked his face. He has his hands on daggers on his back. You can see from the way his eyes shine that he is probably grinning at you too.

The paladin is the first one to talk "I have never seen a creature like you, what are you, can you even talk." You make a smirk back at her and before you answer you get to your full height with expanded wings and everything. Your shadowy sword is glowing beside you. You answer in your mind voice and you make it sound like razorblades against a smooth surface and get the conformation of it working by seeing your opponents lose their grins and turning into painfull smirks "I am one of the despoilers, coming back to enjoy this world once more", maybe you are a bit overdramatic but it gets the point across. The paladin swings her sword around and equips a mace in her other. She orders to her companions "Cec, buff me and heal me I will tank him. Trekky, you get around him and kill him from behind while he is distracted." This tactic makes you grin, that plan would probably work on a non-sentient monster, but not you. "Barbara, this is no normal monster, be carefull." you hear the healer say. The only thing that really worries you about those three is that they are obviously higher level heroes.

None of you make the first move. The rogue is looking for a place to best attack you from behind but he can't hide properly since all houses are now burning. Also you hear the fighting come closer, your own men overpowering with their greater size the small garrison guarding this village. Also Rachel might be helping them with her speed. The villagers who were running around before are now watching the scene before them. You get bored however from this pointless circeling and take a look at the one modifier thats going to change all this for the more funnier.

  • Shadowsight-Cooldown: 10 minutes remaining

Not wanting to give them the initative by not doing anything you make a movement with your wings and push up a lot of sand in the direction of the paladin. Again useing your wings you close in on the armored woman in front of you and attack her in a frenzy. She didn't see that coming and nearly falls over but in the last moment blocks your onslaught, which you don't stop. Your sword connects again and again with hers and her mace. You see it in her eyes she wasn't expecting that, well neither were you to be honest, but you kind of feel like this is the way you should act. You finally manage to get a devastating blow past her defenses and would have probably killed her with the next hit if not for her two friends, while the healer was useing a healing spell the rogue jumped you from the flank and you barely manage to defend yourself against him. With a growl you throw yourself against him while sending him in the same hurtfull voice "How dare you!" he shudders at the impact of your voice but manages to dodge your attack.

This goes on for a few more minutes either them or you gaining the upper hand but all in all they slowly press forward. Your own forces have closed in and joined the circle around you and the three heroes. You orderd them, even Rachel, to stay back this is your fight.

In a short break inbetween the bashes you see that the cooldown is at zero. You grin and send towards your assailants "You ready for the really fun part?"

The only question that remains who are you going to control of these three friends? (Assuming direct control)

Who are you going to take over?
