((Alright, this is my attempt to actually complete a thread. I hope I will be inspired enough to roleplay again. Open to any.))

Explosions rocked the city of Haidia as blast after blast of flaming rock pounded against the outer wall. Flames engulfed buildings throughout the city as the attack continued. The Demon Army was in chaos, scrambling around throughout the city trying to determine what there orders were. Screams erupted from the citizens of the large city. The dwarves were attacking, and they were very well organized.

Zieg dil' Tulfried, High General of the Demon Army, was doing his best to maintain the order he was used to, but there was just too much to do. He had sent his two generals, Zaketh ag' Dinmos and Johannan ag' Tranta to fortify the two gates, while he rushed through the city gathering whoever he could to brace the walls.

The attack had started just a few hours earlier, with no warning whatsoever. Out of nowhere a large ball of fire had rained down over the wall upon the Demon Army Headquarters, engulfing the building in flames. Zieg had managed to get nearly everyone out of the building, including himself, his son, and Xeppa. After setting up a temporary headquarters in a nearby shop, the High General had attempted to get word out to his men that were partrolling the countryside, but it was to no avail. Any man who left the safety of the city was killed instantly.

Zieg had had only one option. He had sent Kaza, on Xeppa's back, high into the sky to go get reinforcements from Vla'toros. Dera'losta'nofa was a good leader and if anyone could organize the men to help, he could. It also got Kaza out of the town and away from danger. He only hoped the help came in time.

The walls themselves were holding for now, but it was only a matter of time until the dwarves made it through into the city. It was then that the demons would have to be at their best. All were armed and ready, just waiting for that eventual moment. The demon knight had more pressing issues to deal with than waiting. He was rushing his way through the city, through the crazed masses, trying to get to the castle.

Finally arriving at the castle gates, he found them shut tight. He ordered the guards to open them, and rushed through before they were fully open. He ran as fast as he could up the steps into the main foyer. Passing by numerous guards and many of his own men, he made his way into the throne room where he found newly crowned King Aidos curled up on the throne. The young boy was crying his eyes out and shivering.

Zieg dropped to one knee. "Your Majesty, you need to leave the city. It is not safe for you here. Even though you are but a child, if anything were to happen to you, the nation of Haidia would be in shambles. Come now, make your way through the tunnels beneath the city which should take you to the outlying villages. The people there will hide you and keep you safe."

Aidos looked up, staring straight into Zieg's eyes. "I cannot leave my people," he said meekly.

"Go, Aidos," Zieg said gently. "There is nothing you can do here." Zieg turned on heel and ran back out of the throne room. He stopped at the first guards and ordered them to escort the king from the castle. He then sprinted out of the castle and back into the city.
