Excerpt from Visions of the Never Seen: The Unveiling: Darkness gathered in the heavy mist that filled the nooks and crannies of the terrain, enveloping the tableau that was taking place within its embrace as the melee rose into a full onslaught. Serpentine, four-armed demons wielded maces of chain and spikes upon human soldiers brave enough to climb the razor-sharp stone they entwined around while their scorpion-tailed brethren, armed with onyx shields and swords as black as their hearts, alternated stinging and hacking their prey. Massive, worm-filled fliers more skeleton than flesh, flew through the air on tattered wings of leather sinew, dive-bombing their targets- lifting them thousands of feet skyward, oblivious to their feeble attempts at escape, before dashing them unceremoniously on the jagged cliffs below. Fifty soldiers, male and female alike - yet fighters all, engaged their enemy as one mind and movement; carving their path through the falling carcasses and flying limbs of their opponents as they forged onward determined to send them back to the hell from which they came- never realizing that they were actually being herded closer to their fate. The young stranger, out of place in the world around him, stood a distance from the massacre, desperately wanting to help them-to warn them of the ruse, but found himself unable to move- forced to remain in the role of spectator. Tears of frustration and agony streamed down his cheeks as the enemies’ plan sprang into action-revealed by the screams, shrieks and death cries that reverberated off the mountains- an audible exclamation punctuating the seeming futility of their resistance as, one after another, the fighters began to fall. The onslaught continued unmercifully until only seven ragged, and torn men of valor remained to be taken prisoner and dragged to their fate at the Demon encampment higher in the sulfur-laden battlefield. __________________________ Just a taste of the book :D hope you like it
