Were Hyenas in the marsh.

" Anything out there, "Jue"? I'm worried the Demons might know what we're here for." Said Plain-Walker.

"Nothing but Marsh Wallabies*. But we have to go through Were Hyena** territory to get to our destination. That will be fun, i don't have a Were Hyena hide yet. I need it for my collection."


_____________



Jue's eyes gleamed in expectation, They had entered into Were Hyena territory, and Were Hyenas are not the sort to let humans pass into their land.


After a time the beasts showed themselves.


Their were seventeen, five were in human form, and had daggers.

They circled the ship, spread out.


The ones in human form began to climb the boat, and a couple were shot down. The three remaining cornered Plain-Walker, who felled one, but was easily cornered by the second two. They overpowered him, and would have finished him, had it not been for Jue.


She gracefully beheaded them both. As if she were borne wielding a blade, but it was not over, the other Hyenas showed their incredible agility, jumping from the ground to the deck, their spiny tails held up like weapons.


four jumped at her, she killed two. one of the other two whipped out with its tail, giving her a large gash, in response, she twirled about a killed it.


The rest went by in a blur, but at the end, three Were Hyenas retreated.


___________


They had been in the swamp three days when they reached their destination.


"Gem! come up! we've reached the core of the marsh!"






*A species of wallaby that lives in Marshes, Forests, and sea shores.

**Monsters that can transform between human and hyena form.

Nightmares.

So much destruction! So much evil! Why is it here? Thought Gem.


The battle with the Brain-Eater had drained her of much strength, and she had fainted where she stood not long after the monster spoke to her. It seems that her guides had returned, for she had awoke in a cabin of the boat.


Her last thought before going back to sleep were these. Why was i there when it happened?


_____________



Blood was everywhere. in every shop, every street, every house.


And everywhere there was the putrid smell of human corpses.


The lucky ones would be fed on, the less lucky would become Brain-Eaters, the ones doomed to be slowly destroyed, both their corpses, and their souls.


It loved that smell, it reminded it of the old days, when it ruled all. When it had conquered all.


When it could simply speak the word in its terrible tongue, and instantly have a soul brought before him.

It could taste them already.

Its hunger can not be explained, for it was a thing that had roots in the Uan Ills creation.


_______________


I will not speak of the Flesh-Eaters feast, for it is too terrible for the world to hear of.

If you must, let your imagination go at it.


______________


The Uan Ill had decided that it, and its army would follow the girl and her protectors, for it sensed danger in them.


"EE BALL FOLLOE TE FEUALEB I YALE!! TEY EILL ALL TRIOIN UB!!! EE BALL UARC AT BUNRIBE!!!!


The next day the Flesh-Eaters would surround the marsh.

Koves fall

The night was cold.


Unnaturally cold.


A sense of uneasiness was upon all who lived there, and it was going to become panic soon.


Because the Rotting dead were there.


Because the Flesh-Eaters were going to feast that night, already the Dream-Flayers who controlled them could feel the glee that the slaughter always gave them!

It also had glee.

It had more glee then any of the others.

It was Uan Ill, demon-lord of the Flesh-Eaters, King of the Dream-Flayers!

And there would be flesh to dine on tonight.


It spoke to its army then.

"deat to uuanb! Ee ball dine auuily tonict! Once Ove fallb, ee ball se very clobe to our full uoeer!


The growl-like cheers that replied echoed through the sewers.


NOE, CARCE!!

"Wake up Gem!"

Gem had been having a nightmare, likely caused by the uproar surrounding them, and thus was happy to be woken.

But she was far from happy with what she saw outside the boat.

All of Kove was alight, from fire and lamp light, which burned high like a giant bonfire, locals screamed and ran blindly, many ran straight into the rotting hordes.


"You must stay here Gem, we are going to fight." said Plain-walker.


________


It had been quite a while, and Gem had grown quite disgusted with watching, so she had went below deck, however, the screams were bothering her.



________


She had finally gotten used to the noise when she heard a creaking above. Could they have returned?

Sadly, they had not, instead she found a Flesh-Eater with a hole through its chest.

And it had seen her! It charged towards her, and she felt fear.


And then something took hold in her head, and her body seemed to move on its own, she found a Någå blade, and she cut off the arms and legs of the Monster.

Then the feeling left, and she was herself.

The Flesh eaters eyes became, somewhat, human, and it spoke to her. "Girl...Thanks.... watch yourself..... watch out for.... the.... the Uan Ill...... He... He has no.... mercy....He took..... Logar.... he eats his soul.....and....he.... stole his..... body......thanks for...saving.... kri...." Then the Flesh-Eater died.

Vermin in kove

"Buread te eord, tey are ere!"
"Tey are ere?"
"Tey are ere!" 

These words were said by two rather... unfriendly, eyes. After which, one of those eyes went into the sewer where an ancient evil was waiting, and this is their conversation.

"Eat do you eanaet rat? i ave no tiue for caueb." Said the evil thing to the small eye, which caused the body owning the eye to cower, which caused the evil thing to laugh, and then, in its timid little voice, the eye spoke "Tey are ere uabter!"
At those words the evil things eyes lit up and the form of a decomposing one eyed rat and the form that we have seen in dreams and in gems home town appeared.

"EE BALL ILL TEU AND ALL OVE, RAT!! EE BALL FEABT ON TEIR FLEB!!!"

"AEAEN TE FLEB EATERB!!!" 


_____________


"Hello Gem"
"Hi Plain-Walker"
"We heard you have need of a guide in the swamp, we can help, free of charge." said Plain-walker. "This is Jue, a swashbuckler!"
"Hi" said Jue.
"Hello" said Gem.
Jue had long blond hair, and had red eyes, she wore a dark blue shirt a white pants and she wore a någå sword*.
After a little bit Plain-Walker spoke "Care to see the boat?"
"Yes!" said Gem "I'd love to!"


*A någå sword has a curved blade built for cutting through flesh and bone, and a handle made of iron that has a guard for your knuckles.

The dock

Gem was confused. Why was the women called Gem? It didn't seem anything like a normal dream, so why would her name be mixed into it? And why was the man in it?
Maybe it WAS just a normal dream.

She went down to the tavern and payed for her stay. She would go straight to the docks and find a guide.

As she was walking down the rode towards the docks, she felt a shiver go down her spine, though it was a warm day.

She didn't notice the small eyes watching  from the alley.

So this is the dock of kove thought Gem. How interesting!
She wandered about for a little bit, taking in the peculiar appearance of the docks, it was shaped strangely, as if it were moving through a dance. 
After a while she found a couple of people and headed towards them.
"Excuse me sir but you wouldn't- !"
She was face to face with the man who saved her from the monster.
