《Emerald Forest》Field of the Dead - Cont.

Johann froze, weighing between the two options and the desperate look the sergeant gave him. Katarina needed to hear it from him. He forced his mouth open. “I have my orders.”
The lieutenant watched him for another minute, nodded and turned to leave the bunker when a large black object crashed into him and knocked him down.
Johann dropped to the ground instinctively, prepared to meet his fiery end at the hands of an artillery shell. He always knew it would come at the hands of an explosion. A sudden death, he couldn’t resist. Like the one he gave to countless soldiers on the other side. Moments passed and he found himself still alive. Carefully, he pulled back his arms and glanced ahead to where the object had crashed. His gut hit rock bottom along with all the joints in his body tensing up.
A giant spider, easily two meters tall, stood by the door and blocked the only way out of the bunker. The sheer size cast a long shadow on him. It cocked its head to the side with a snap and eight beady eyes, spread over its ugly face, glared right back at him.
Sergeant Muller was nowhere to be found, with any luck he managed to get away and would get help. He dared not imagine the alternatives.
Johann's rifle laid on the floor between him and the spider. He eyed it, wringing his fingers into action and slowly sprawled forward.
The spider lowered itself, appearing as if it were cowering before the might he was about to unleash upon it. A simple shot to the head should be enough to take it out. Once he killed the damn thing, he could start asking questions —like where the hell it came from.
His fingertips brushed against the stock of the rifle but he froze at the sudden high-pitched squeal. He winced, pulling back but was too slow. The spider leapt onto him, tackling him to the ground and knocking all the air out of his lungs. Johann gasped, trying to suck in air and scream for help. The pincers slapped against his face as he struggled to heave the beast off him.

The spider saw an opening and moved in immediately with its chelicerae boring right into his gut. A rancid stench filled the air as thick, warm liquid oozed into his body.
Johann felt bile creep up into his throat and spill onto his tongue. He gritted his teeth together and pulled enough strength together to shove the spider off him. Scrambling to his feet, he immediately searched for the rifle. He blinked several times in an attempt to focus his blurring vision, but the world around him spun and his head became lighter with each passing moment. He gave up on the gun and felt his way along the wall, probing his way deeper into the bunker.
“Alarm! Help,” Johann shouted as his knees buckled. He tightened his grip and forced himself upright.
Sharp cracks echoed behind him. He turned on his heel and caught sight of the black mass wandering upside down on the ceiling. Johann stumbled back and fell to the ground. Hans' wide, pleading eyes shot up and glared right back at him.
The spider leapt down and sunk its jackknife fang into Johann's shoulder, pouring more of its venom into the young man.
The heat overwhelmed Johann as it surged through his body. His vision had gone dark and he barely had the strength to lift his hand again let alone defend himself. His stomach churned as he was hoisted into the air and delicately wrapped. “Lez go bag home, Hans.”

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)
