《A Journey Through the Worlds.》103: It's Starting.

While they were taking a look at the weapons and armors they suddenly felt as if something wasn't right, making all of them stop what they were doing and look at each other in confusion.
"It suddenly turned quiet..." Katherine commented.
Dan just nodded while he started moving toward the door, opening it he saw why the people outside stopped all what they were doing and the place turned silent.
The sun was setting, it was releasing its last rays of light for the next thirty hours.
And all the natives were just looking at it with mixed expressions on their faces.
Soon after the last ray disappeared Alexander said in a strong loud voice:
"Everyone don't worry, we are ready this time, and we have help, it will be different, so just return to what you were doing."
The people started moving slowly, as if they were being weighed by a great pressure, returning to what they were doing.
Dan and his group entered the house in silence, they were infected by the pressure and feeling the natives showed, and they started feeling the pressure of a closing storm.
"Don't worry everyone, it won't be hard just lookout for each other." Dan said that before telling them to get ready and leaving the house to go and find Alexander.
He didn't have to search for long before finding him.
"We are ready." He declared after seeing that Alexander was free for a second.
"Great, follow me, I will tell you where your position will be." He nodded before starting to move.
Dan didn't say anything and just started following him, they walked for a bit befor reaching the walls.
"You only need to stand here and deal with any insects which gets close enough, at least it will be like that for the first few hours after the insects starts appearing, after that when they become way too much for us to deal with from the walls we will have to go down, and that's when it will get worst.
"We will have to be down there between the monsters in order to deal with them, most casualties happens around that time, at that time we will be leaving the wall in teams of ten, each team will be down there for a around half an hour or so, we used to have around a hundred hunters but unfortunately we lost close to a half of them in the first three nights after the monsters started appearing.
"It was than that some people, who weren't hunters but were strong or brave enough joined us, some of them were even women... With those people we had enough power to struggle, but unfortunately they didn't have enough training and many of them died in their first night.

"Close to fifty joined us, but after the first night we found that we have already lost more then twenty of them, one day's worth of training wasn't enough.
"Now we are only left with six teams, our village isn't that big, we were just a bit less than four hundred people before the start of all of this, because of the insects we lost close to 200 people, and for some weird reason when the Gray Fog appeared close to 30 people disappeared without leaving any trace and till now we don't have any single idea about what happened to them, or if they are even alive... Right now we only have around a 160 people, and most of the are women and children, almost anyone who's healthy enough to fight is in one of the six teams..."
Reaching here Alexander stopped and looked at Dan before continuing with a serious expression on his face:
"I told you all of that so you know that we really are on our last breath right now, we need all the help we can get, and that we trusted you, so I wish we won't regret it."
Dan didn't know what to say, in the end he only nodded and said two words seriously:
"I understand."
"Good, me and two others from team one will join your group of seven... That woman will join the fight?" Alexander asked in the middle of his sentence.
"Yes she will." Dan couldn't help smiling bitterly, for some weird reason he actually felt that the person who wanted to fight the most was her, she seemed even worst than the old blood power users in that regard.
Alexander saw the smile but he didn't give it much thoughts he just continued:
"Ok, anyway as I was saying me and another two members of the first team will join your group of seven, your team will be the fourth team to get down so you have an idea about the fight, and how things are from the first three fights... I would let you go later but there are some youths and women who are still not used to the fights in the teams after that, and I think they would need more time to get used to the situation than the few of you."
"I understand, can I ask you about something?"
"Go on."
"Where do you keep the bodies of the insects you hunt? Especially the dangerous ones." Asked Dan with a clear plan in his mind.
"Most of the bodies of the insects are on the back side of the village, if you just go there you won't miss it, the bodies of the dangerous ones and the ones which are harder to deal with are all on the left side, why are you asking?" He looked at Dan in confusion.

"I just needed to make sure of something that's all." Dan gave a simple excuse before paying Alexander farewell and leaving on his own.
He went as fast as possible to the house they were using.
As soon as he entered he saw that all the people there had already changed to the armors which were delivered to them.
He first told them about all the things Alexander told him about before lifting an armor and putting it on.
It was light, especially for him who had a superhuman strength, it had a shining surface and a beautiful Emerald green color, the others were more or less the same just with different colors, mainly black, blue, red, and other similar colors.
When he was done he turned to Nero and said:
"Nero follow me."
After saying that he started moving away with Nero following after him.
They walked to the back of the village, to where Alexander told him they kept the bodies of most insects.
While they were moving he said to Nero:
"We are going to where the people here keep the bodies of the insects, you will have to memorize the smells of some of them and tell me if you feel any of them are heading our way, I think that memorizing smells isn't that hard for you."
"Don't worry about any of that." Nero said confidently while smiling.
"Ok let's hurry up then."

Area 10 the city which controls Last Point Village:
Burke was looking worridly in the direction of the Last Point Village, the sun has just set down and he was wondering if the village was still going to be there when the sun finally rises.
He was sent by the village chief as soon as the sun rose around a week ago. It was than that they started finding fighting monsters harder and harder, he was given the mission of asking for reinforcements from the City, yet unfortunately he wasn't able to.
At first the City Lord, that fat bastard, as Burke used to curse him behind his back, said that many villages sent for similar demands and that they couldn't possibly answer for all of them at the same time and that he had to wait.
What could he do but wait? He just stayed there waiting while sending a message to the village chief by a small tamed type of dragonflies about what happened to him.
So just like that two and half a day passed, than just as it was his village's turn to get aid, the Gray Fog happened. And somehow that fat bastard disappeared alongside most of his family and some of his guards, leaving his small palace on chaos.
Because of that, no one was concerned about him or his village, and he couldn't do anything but send a message to the village chief who thought that they were going to get help that day, telling him the ugly truth.
That day, after doing his best and probably offending 'not a so small group of people' he was promised that they would send some people to the Last Point Village the next time the sun set even if they found no clue about the City Lord.
He knew he did his best, yet he still felt fear and worry. From the messages he got from the village chief, he understood what kind of situation the village was in, he was afraid that when he was going to make it there the next sunrise, what was going to be waiting for him will only be a ruined village and destroyed bodies.
He could only pray that it won't be like that while he counted seconds and minutes...

Area 01: The Headquarter of The Big Four Alliance:
The four heads were looking at a small white warship moving toward the zone under the control of the seven Gods of Area 02.
It was the first few hours of the morning for the people of Area 01, and the ship was moving slowly making it apparent that they didn't want to fight.
For more insurance, they started broadcasting the voice of Moore who was setting amongst the other big four, when the warship got really close to the Area 02 camp.
"To the seven Gods we are asking for a meeting, can you please come out so we can talk."
The broadcasting was loud and clear, and soon enough, the seven Gods, who seemed as if they were expecting them appeared, and the All-seeing Adam said:
"I know what you want to say, we accept your invitation, but we don't accept the location."
His words surprised Moore and the others, they couldn't believe that they didn't even need to say anything of what they wanted to say before Adam knew it.
Returning to his senses, Moore asked:
"Where do you want to meet? I don't believe you want us to have the meeting in your Area? Well, not that we would mind that." After all they would just send a remote controlled warship, they won't suffer any danger.
"If you're going to use a mean of communication like this than that wouldn't be a problem, but if you want a meeting with us it should be face to face." Adam's skeleton like old face stretched to a weird creepy smile.

The Czarina's Buccaneer
RELEASES EVERY MONDAY AT 18:30 CST ----- After suffering the torments of slavery, the destruction of his nation, and the massacre of his band of brothers, Rodion Kazansky craves revenge and yearns for the freedom owed to him as a proud Cossack. A lost horse and a chance meeting with the Catherine the Great set him off on a journey that will take him from the steppes of the Crimea to the beaches of the Gold Coast of Africa and back again. There he will face British slavers, pirates, and the ghosts of his past to become the bane of his enemies as the Czarina's Buccaneer. ----- DISCLAIMER: This novel acknowledges the fact that the Cossacks, and the Ukrainian people by extension, are unique and not simply a "different variety of Russians." The main character views the Russians as "moskal foreigners" and does not see himself as one. This also acknowledges the fact that the czarina deprived many of the Cossacks of their freedom, something that the main character resents.
