Zaretha

In the midst of a brutal war, dark elf assassin Arden is tasked with retrieving vital plans from a light elf enemy. His mission uncovers a deadly weapon—a gun created by dwarves using black powder—that threatens to change the course of the conflict.

Teaming up with Berdine, a half-human, half-feline master healer, Arden navigates treacherous terrains and deadly confrontations to prevent the weapon from falling into enemy hands. They capture Prince Eryndor, who reveals an internal plot to overthrow King Faelor and seize the weapon.

With General Ninloth coordinating their efforts, Arden and Berdine split their forces. Arden leads an infiltration to stop the coup, while Ninloth and Berdine aim to secure or destroy the weapon plans. As they face magic, betrayal, and their own moral dilemmas, they must act swiftly to protect their kingdom.

"War Crimes" is a high-stakes fantasy of dark magic, shifting loyalties, and the relentless pursuit of survival in a world where the lines between right and wrong blur.

War Crimes: The Shadow of the Assassin

Arden and his team moved silently through the dark, narrow corridors of the dwarven fortress, their senses on high alert. The explosions had done their job, creating enough chaos to allow them to slip deeper into the stronghold. Every shadow, every sound kept them on edge as they advanced.

Ahead, a faint glimmer of light signaled their destination. Ninloth and Finnian emerged from the semi-darkness, their expressions tense but determined. Ninloth's eyes met Arden's, a silent understanding passing between them.

"Any trouble?" Arden asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Nothing we couldn't handle," Ninloth replied, wiping the blood from his short swords. "The dungeons are just ahead. We need to move quickly."
