From all sides, Night Raider troops advanced on each of the villages. As small groups of Night Raiders marched down the roads into town, even larger groups surrounded the outskirts. With men standing at arms length, the Night Raiders prevented any villager from escaping. The small bands of Night Raiders trudged through the streets, setting fire to homes, apprehending any young warriors, and horrifying children. Children cowered in their mother's arms along the streets. Warriors and undercover Rebels quickly equipped themselves for battle. Screams of terror echoed off the trees throughout the woods. Smoke filled the air, creating a smokey outlook. Burning clothing and wood littered the streets. As the Night Raiders headed for the center of town, so did the villagers. Brave Rebels and warriors met up in the streets, hiding themselves amongst the crowds. Very few Rebel spies hid behind trees just outside of each village, watching and waiting for an opening. Fluttering fairies and pixies perched themselves on tree branches. Trolls waddled quietly closer to the edge of the village. The thick foliage made it perfect it hid behind. The cloudy night sky prevented the moonlight from displaying their position. As the fire flamed on, many more creatures waited and watched at the edge, silently praying. Night Raider leaders lead the groups to the center of the villages. Tension filled the air as the leaders prepared to speak. "There is no point in fighting us!" Each one shouted, clearly rehearsing it a few times beforehand. "Your precious Peacekeeper will be dead within minutes! Join us and see what wonders await for you outside of these boarders!" "If we step out, we'll die!" A brave soul shouted. Speaking with great determination... ... middle of paper ... ...t reward yet." His sinister smile was enough to convince Suprina. It was over before it even started. "Why not bring me back alive? I'm sure he'd love to watch me rot in a musty cell for eternity." Suprina stood on the edge of the crate, forcing the other side upwards. "I'm sure that would be nice. For you. But suffering in the soul yard is much more effective." He waved the two night Raiders beside him wave, motioning that Suprina was his. Reluctantly, the two troops marched off, only to be stabbed in the heart and beaten to death by children. Swiftly, Suprina slid of the wooden crate, sword at the ready. Shifting from leg to leg, Suprina anxiously anticipate the leader's first move. She ran through the possible options in her mind as she and the leader spared off in a staring match. They were light on their toes as they slowly went around in an invisible circle.
