[Iron Oaks, The Vale]
"Hold your ground!!" A Vale Knight shouted as they held the barricade against the incoming Druskguard assault, "Do not let them take the castle!!!"
As dozens of Duskguard Knights pushed through a wooden barricade, the Vale men were fighting back valiantly against them, hitting them with arrows and throwing javelins at them. Despite their efforts, the Valemen could not do much against the advance, their attacks being shrugged o...

[The Eyrie]
The halls of the fortress were covered in bodies of soldiers to did everything in their power to stop the single individual who walked through their doors.
"H-How did he get in here?!" a Knight shouted as he drew his sword, "Protect Lord Arryn!!"
Several guards rushed down the hallway, yelling out war cries as they charged at the figure in the shadows. In a split second, pieces of limbs flew out and blood sprayed on the wall...

"R-Run!!!" A Valeman exclaimed as a massive group of Duskguard charged forwards, "They're coming!! The Duskguard!!"
Vale Soldiers could not help but either hopelessly stand their ground or run away at the sight of the Duskguard Banners, the might of the Marked Army storming through the land.
It was a few days after Drakken declared his army to march to the Vale, and the border between the Riverlands and The Vale was easily ta...

"You will be given one more chance." I said as I held Olyver by his throat, "Do not fail me. Otherwise, everything you've built will be reduced to nothing."
I pinned him against the wall of his study in the Tower, holding his throat tightly as I had an angry look on my face.
"M-My Lord...." He gasped, "I....am....deeply sorry...."
I let go of him and fell to his knees, "Shut up." I told him, "This is the only straw, Olyver. I require for you to prove your abs...

I walked towards the pitch black trees with white leaves, the one in the far back of the Shade, a hundred meters away from the Foundation. The very one that was emanating a black mist from its roots, a loud hum emitting from its trunk.
I could feel nothing but anger and rage filling my body as I approached it, the mere thought of what had happened in this place boiled my blood.
I reached the Tree and placed my hand into it...

Alysanne frowned, "Did it work?" She whispered, "Did the plan work? Do you think that those cultists actually did it?"

Saera jumped up in surprise as Drakken had teleported back to the Twins without warning. He had a serious look, his red eyes piercing right through the Princess.
Saera looked at him, "M-My Love...." She said, "It all happened so fast...!!"
"What. Happened." Drakken repeated, his voice colder than ice

Armed soldiers pushed through members of Olyver's guard, cutting them down with their flaming swords as they kept chanting loudly. As Olyver's men fought back and cut some down, some of them knelt down and prayed hard, chanting loudly and causing them to rise again and keep fighting.
The more and more they fought, the more blood was shed and the deeper they got into the Dark Shade, which emanated a dark mist.

Drakken stood in the middle of the field, surrounded by corpses as several weapons were planted on the ground. His sclera were pitch black, his red eyes glowing as he looked ahead of him, staring down Vermithor who was several meters away from him.

Maegelle looked at him, "She is my Mother." She said, "I cannot do much about that. I am grateful that you did not do anything, however."
Drakken shrugged, "There was really no reason for me to do so." He said, "I have many things to worry about, your Mother is not one of them."
