Fire Burning Under Your Skin
Lady Night's journey through the perilous lands of Draconious in pursuit of Prince Reginald continues. The group of Knights of Darkness is searching for any clue that might bring them a step closer to their goal.
It was impossible to imagine that he was still alive after all this time. Life had been too harsh. Even today, the hours passed slowly as pain consumed his thoughts. It was difficult to comprehend what was happening, but even for him, who couldn't get up due to the restraints on his hands and legs.
The demands were clear—the whereabouts of Prince Reginald. Everything seemed so obvious. Life had to take this course. There was no other alternative. Unfortunately, the minotaur that Lady Night's squad had captured didn't really know anything about that prince.
Miss Terror tended to the campfire. She found the warmth of the fire on her pale face refreshing. The evening breeze managed to cool the body of the young Knight of Darkness. She needed to feel the heat return to her body. She was about to set herself on fire with her own hands.
Meanwhile, Sir Malevolence watched with surprise the glow around Sleevol's hands. It was as if... darkness itself was flowing through his body. Sir Malevolence only knew the power of darkness when wielding a sword with a black blade—the most precious metal of Chaliene and its followers. Watching a magician hailing from the realm of darkness was astonishing.
Lady Night continued to interrogate the captive, and to keep him alive, she used the powers of Sleevol. She had to find Prince Reginal—before it was too late.
The process the prince had gone through had to be controlled. Reginald had escaped too quickly, and without Lady Night's help, darkness would eventually consume him entirely. Although that was not the most important thing on Lady Night's mind, she could not accept that one of her initiates had escaped. She was not prepared to fail.
So the torture continued until everyone was exhausted, everyone except Sir Carnage. He could only think about finding his next meal. Hunger was the only thing clear in his mind. Sir Carnage knew that the wilderness was full of wild animals. It was only a matter of time. He lay in wait, searching for prey.
The night seemed to take over everything. The shadows were no longer of any help, and darkness seemed to be working against him. Sir Carnage paid little attention to the limited visibility he had. He was willing to stay awake all night if necessary. A real feast was the only thing he could think of.
The existence of the other members of his team was a non-existent memory. Sir Carnage walked slowly among the shadows. The moonlight illuminated his path through a thicket-filled forest. The chill of the breeze made Sir Carnage eager to finish the hunt, so he turned earlier than planned. He veered off the path he had chosen—unaware that this change would cause the hands of destiny to seek balance once again.
Immediately, the energy of the forest felt disturbed. The elements' plan was flawless. Sir Carnage was destined to continue on his path without losing his way. The gods had plans for him.
Sir Carnage turned and kept walking, searching for another way back to the camp. He was too far for the others to sense him. He had no idea he was heading into a place where his role as a hunter could be compromised.
The path quickly came to an end—two walls not worth climbing and a perfectly placed cave. Sir Carnage considered turning back, but time was running out, and his prey had to be ahead, beyond what he had planned, beyond the path the gods knew.
Sir Carnage let the cold take over and quickened his pace. His impulses were uncontrolled. He was lost on the path commanded by darkness. So, he unsheathed his sword. The black blade reflected the moonlight. Sir Carnage was ready to capture his prey when he saw the creature's eyes gleaming in the depths of the cave.
Slit eyes that seemed to be searching for something. Determined eyes ready to face any danger. Stalking eyes. This was not the prey Sir Carnage was looking for. The monster emerged from the shadows, its peace disturbed by the visit of a stranger.
Sir Carnage considered running. He thought of fleeing. Avoiding the confrontation was all that remained, but he didn't have the strength to decide. He couldn't hear his thoughts. All he could focus on was watching the monster emerge from the shadows.
The monster, a feline with magenta fur, emerged from the cave. The creature stared directly into the eyes of the intruder who had disturbed its rest. The creature's three tails stood erect—venomous stingers ready to strike. The feline bared its jaws, revealing an opening large enough to swallow a man whole. And it growled with anger to express its irritation.
Sir Carnage took a step back. Fleeing was still an option. Even if he emerged victorious, the battle would exact too high a toll. He had to conserve his strength to fulfill the mission Lady Night had assigned him. Sir Carnage firmly gripped the hilt of his sword.
The creature's tails seemed impatient to attack as the gigantic magenta-furred feline began to stalk.
Sir Carnage glanced from side to side. Fleeing—running into the forest would give the stalking monster an advantage. There was no other way out. He had to fight. So, he planted his feet firmly on the ground and prepared to defend himself.
The creature took slow, deliberate steps, closing in on its target. Its tails, like whips, were poised for attack, and its eyes remained fixed on the intruder who dared to disturb its slumber. The feline was convinced that the stranger harbored ill intentions. The monster had to defend itself.
Sir Carnage allowed the weight of his body to shift from one leg to the other. Darkness should shield him.
The creature lunged, propelling itself so that its claws and teeth would catch the intruder's attention.
Sir Carnage focused his gaze on the creature's fangs, ready to end his opponent with a swing of his sword when one of the tails struck him in the side. Sir Carnage raised his arm to shield his face. Immediately, another tail struck his opposite leg. He raised his sword to use it as a defense against the creature's razor-sharp claws when the third tail found a gap in his defense and managed to drive its stinger into the intruder's shoulder.
Sir Carnage had no choice but to continue defending against the primary attack, using the force of his sword to send the monster aside. However, the pain of the venom coursing through his body was inevitable. Sir Carnage attempted to remove the stinger from his body with the third tail but was too late. The fire began to burn from within.
The creature seemed to smirk before retreating into the shadows. The battle was over. Now, it only had to wait for its prey to succumb.
Sir Carnage fell to his knees and then dropped his sword. Despite his attempts to quell the internal fire and staunch the wound with his hands, the battle was lost. Thoughts unrelated to the situation started to cross his mind. He couldn't even accept what was happening. Sir Carnage looked up, and the moon seemed to accept the reality.
The creature hidden in the shadows appeared to have been thrown against one of the cave walls. Sir Carnage looked up to see Sleevol. "I thought I heard something," he said as he arrived.
"You shouldn't let it inject you with its venom," Sleevol remarked upon seeing Sir Carnage on his knees on the ground. The dark sorcerer took hold of Sir Carnage with the power of darkness, making him levitate as if by telekinesis. Then he used darkness to draw the poison from his companion's body.
Sir Carnage felt the poison return to the hole left by the stinger. The reverse pain was even worse than the fire he had been feeling. The wound burst open, and contaminated blood emerged under pressure.
"Follow me," Sleevol said, "dinner is almost ready."

Children of the Void
A fascinating episode of the vibrant feats from "Kingdom of Glory" unfolds. However, at this starting point, I have decided to take the perspective of the antagonists who yearn to capture Prince Reginald and his daring adventure companions.
Reginald stood tall, gripping his mighty sword, Calamity, with a firm and determined hand. The weight of the weapon felt substantial, a manifestation of the darkness that had become entwined with his destiny. It had only been a short time since Reginald's path had converged with that of the Knights of Darkness, and with it came a profound secret he now carried. In the turmoil and troubles besieging the kingdom, there was no room for contemplation of the events that unfolded within Zurkaks, the foreboding Tower of Darkness that Reginald had infiltrated. The secrets that lurked within its dark corridors were to be kept hidden, concealed from prying eyes, especially those who were unaware of Reginald's initiation into the enigmatic order of the Knights of Darkness.
But the past has a way of weaving itself back into one's life, and Reginald found himself ill-prepared for the twists and turns that awaited him.
Lady Night, the overseer of the Knights of Darkness, could not find solace until she tracked down Reginald and compelled him to complete his training. The young prince was an anomaly among the initiates, a knight of light thrust into the realm of darkness. The possibilities were vast and unpredictable.
Another demanding day of Lady Night's tireless pursuit came to an end. She understood the perils that permeated these treacherous lands of Draconious, where wild beasts roamed the untamed plains. Lady Night and her entourage, comprised of three elite dark knights and a formidable dark magician, were prepared for anything that dared to cross their path.
As Reginald and his loyal companions embarked on their perilous journey, traversing the treacherous Draconious mountain range in their tireless pursuit to save him from succumbing to the clutches of darkness, Lady Night and her squadron mounted their steeds, tracing the trail left behind by Reginald's passage.
For Miss Terror, it was a departure from the familiar surroundings of Zurkaks Tower, the only home she had ever known. Born and raised within its foreboding walls, her body had not undergone the same grueling augmentations with dark metal rods that marked the initiation process of a knight of darkness. She was among the first generation of children born into the darkness of Draconious, an enigmatic breed with eyes as black as night, seemingly gazing into the very depths of one's soul. Miss Terror was an extraordinary Knight of Darkness, wielding Desperation, her dual-bladed sword of darkness with exquisite finesse. Unlike the typical swords wielded by her brethren, Desperation consisted of twin metal blades, each one crafted to perfection. She carried them both sheathed upon her back, an emblem of her prowess and readiness for any encounter.
Miss Terror had been raised alongside her kind, witnessing the world through the eyes of those born from the abyss. They were the children of darkness, beings bound by a singular purpose: to expand Chaleine's dominion over the realm of shadows. But this expedition marked the first time Miss Terror would be surrounded by those who had embarked on the path to become knights of darkness, having undergone the initiation process themselves.
Sir Malevolence and Sir Carnage were notable figures within Lady Night's retinue. Their seasoned expertise in wielding their respective weapons of darkness had earned them lofty positions within the organization. Their imposing physiques commanded respect, their stature casting a formidable shadow against the silhouettes of Miss Terror and Lady Night.
Adding to the ensemble was Sleevol, a magician hailing from the realm of darkness. The transformation process he had undergone was even more arduous than that of a knight of darkness. Only a select few possessed the fortitude to withstand the grueling procedures, and even fewer managed to survive beyond its inception. Sleevol's body was a testament to his endurance, bristling with dark metal spikes that pierced his flesh, transforming him into a being that no longer resembled a mere mortal. The hardened skin, fused with the protruding metal, extended even to his face, ordinarily concealed beneath a cloak's hood, an embodiment of an otherworldly existence.
Their encampment nestled within the heart of Wisper Hills, a dense forest that lay between them and Reginald's path. The journey still stretched far before them. Lady Night's mission was twofold: to ensure that the young prince completed his dark training or, failing that, to end his life and reclaim Calamity, the powerful sword he currently possessed.
Under the canopy of a starlit sky, the flickering campfire offered meager protection against the lurking terrors of Draconious. An unseen threat could be prowling in the shadows, biding its time before launching a deadly assault.
Sir Carnage completed his assigned patrol and stealthily approached the tent belonging to Miss Terror. In hushed tones, he whispered her name repeatedly, cautious not to awaken the others. Failing to elicit a response, he cautiously poked his head into the tent.
As Sir Carnage suspected, Miss Terror lay fast asleep, her dark eyes, usually filled with an ethereal glow, now closed in tranquil slumber. In this vulnerable state, stripped of her piercing gaze, she appeared as any ordinary woman would. Her delicate skin and alluring features possessed an undeniable charm that aroused desire within those who beheld her. Sir Carnage, too, was not immune to the allure of the flesh. Seizing the moment, he succumbed to his own forbidden yearnings, his eyes lingering upon Miss Terror's exposed form as he peeled back the blanket that draped her body. To his astonishment, he revealed the Knight of Darkness' bare bosom. It was his first glimpse of the nakedness that veiled the daughters of darkness. Sir Carnage stood transfixed, his gaze locked upon her.
Suddenly, Miss Terror shifted in her sleep, effortlessly rolling onto her knees with a grace that defied the gravity of the moment. Startled, Sir Carnage found himself staring into the depths of her obsidian eyes, momentarily drawn away from her exposed chest. It was at that precise moment that he realized the two blades of Desperation had impaled his chest, puncturing his flesh with surgical precision.
Blood welled in Sir Carnage's mouth as he coughed, his hand instinctively reaching for the swords embedded within him. With a swift motion, Miss Terror withdrew her blades, leaving behind a crimson trail. The camp erupted in the anguished cries of the myriad creatures that had remained hidden, concealed within the darkness. Undeterred, Miss Terror wasted no time in investigating the source of the cacophony, her swords gripped tightly in her hands. The sounds seemed to reverberate from various directions, evading her attempts to pinpoint their origin. Gradually, she discerned that she had unwittingly stumbled into a malevolent trap.
The ground beneath her feet had become coated in a slimy, viscous substance—a grotesque amalgamation of oozing mouths and distorted eyes, a nightmarish spawn from a twisted maw. The creature that spawned this abomination lurked nearby, poised to strike when the moment was ripe. With a surge of realization, Miss Terror found herself ensnared, her feet trapped within the aberrant ground.
With unwavering resolve, Miss Terror capitalized on the darkened blood that stained her blades, channeling its malevolent essence into a summoning spell. A wall of bones materialized, shielding her from the imminent descent of countless sharp-toothed maws, hungering for her flesh.
The abomination collided against the skeletal barrier, skidding and sliding across its surface, but the Knight of Darkness had vanished from its reach. Liberated from the clutches of the aberrant ground, Miss Terror vaulted backward, evading the creature's assault. As the babbling mouther reared its monstrous form atop the bone wall, Miss Terror initiated her counterattack. The odds were stacked against the creature, its demise imminent. With each strike, she methodically dismantled its array of eyes, plunging it into a state of blinding darkness. Countless mouths followed suit, decimated under the wrath of her blades, until only a sickly residue lingered upon the ground.
Miss Terror paused, her breath ragged and labored, her body pulsating with the adrenaline of battle. Sir Carnage regarded her with a mix of admiration and pain, his wounds tenderly clasped in a futile attempt to staunch the bleeding. Momentarily, his gaze swept over her exposed bosom, but Miss Terror swiftly covered herself, mindful of their surroundings, before retreating to her tent, preparing for the continued vigilance that lay ahead.
