The Guardian gods

Captain Rohen gritted his teeth as he and his men rushed toward the main square, weapons drawn. But the moment they arrived, dread settled deep in his gut.

The shadows moved, making them think their eyes were seeing wrong. Not like ordinary darkness but like something alive—flickering, writhing, stretching unnaturally across the cobblestones. And the people…

Some lay collapsed, bodies convulsing as inky tendrils slithered beneath their skin. Others had already risen, their eyes vacant, their movements unnatural—jerking, twitching, as if guided by unseen strings.

The captain found himself stumped as he didn't know where to start helping from. The enemy could even be hardly seen.

Captain Rohen stood frozen for a fraction too long, his mind racing. Where could he even begin? The enemy was barely visible, shifting between shadow and flesh, striking from nowhere.
