The Monster Armies Debut

Llyniel was excited as she rushed around the garden, showing the spirits who followed behind her.

They were gossiping about Archer, who they kept peeking out now and then. When he was watching the woof elf he heard footsteps behind him.

He turned around to see a panicking Hecate rushing toward him. When she saw him notice her she spoke.

"Hemera and Talila are in trouble, trapped at the border of the Solari Empire. They're encircled by the Republic's allies, and Starfall City is on the verge of falling. Inside the city, Ella, Sera, and Leira are also trapped, but Sera is unconscious due to something one of the enemy commanders did to her."

When Archer heard this his temper exploded before asking about the others, but Hecate looked away and hesitated as she knew he was going to go mad when he heard the rest.

But he spoke in a voice on the brink of losing it. ''Tell me now, Hecate! What has happened.''
