Chapter 16: The Day of Reckoning
The drums of war thundered louder than any storm. From the cliffs of Blackridge Castle to the scorched ruins of the surrounding plains, the fate of the world now rested on steel, spellfire… and vengeance.
Smoke hung like a curtain over the battlefield. Through it marched two colossal forces: on one side, the united armies of Virellia, led by Sir Salty, the Dirty Dozen, Queens Sarah and Michelle, and the last defenders of the realm. On the other, a tide of darkness: Orcs, Goblins, Chios demons, and at its centre, the summoned monstrosity — The Vraemorr.
The world itself seemed to shudder.
💣 The Cannon Unleashed
Atop the eastern tower, the Grand Artillerist lit the fuse of the newest cannon: “Wrath of Maeve.” It had been reforged with spellsteel and blessed powders overnight by Salty's mages. Its new payload? Shatter-bombs—charged with sacred fire and ground brimstone, designed specifically to crack demonic armour.
“Ready...”
“Aim...”
“FIRE!”
The first shot screamed through the air like the roar of a dragon. It struck the Vraemorr dead in the chest—exploding in a sunburst of holy fury. The creature reeled, its screech tearing the clouds apart.
“Direct hit!” someone cried.
“Again!”
The cannon crews worked like possessed saints, firing shot after shot, hammering the beast back, driving fear into the demon ranks for the first time.
⚔️ Sir Salty’s Revenge
Meanwhile, Salty stalked through the trenches like death itself. His battle-axe — Widowfang — dripped with black ichor. His eyes were locked on one target: the assassin who slew Queen Maeve — Tir'Vall, the Shadowbow of Chios.
Tir'Vall appeared amidst a squad of winged demons, eyes gleaming red. He raised his bow again, but Salty was too fast.
“For Maeve,” Salty growled.
He threw a throwing axe, striking Tir'Vall’s knee. The demon fell with a howl. Salty leapt, catching him mid-collapse, and drove Widowfang into his chest — splitting his ribs with a sickening crunch.
“Told you I’d avenge her.”
He twisted the blade.
Tir'Vall exploded in shadow.
Salty stood, blood-spattered, a man forged of vengeance and loss.
🔥 The Dirty Dozen vs The Dark Reflections
To the west, Salty’s Dirty Dozen clashed with their shadowy counterparts — The Dark Reflections, corrupted Orc-demon hybrids blessed with similar powers.
Isabella, the crackshot sniper, squared off against Grikka the Bleeding Eye, a goblin sniper mounted on a dire wolf. Their duel spanned rooftops and ruins, crossbow bolts and spells whizzing past at dizzying speeds.
Meanwhile, Sister Nyla, wielder of storm-witch magic, raised a hurricane of lightning to hurl back the demon-spawned twins of fire and ash. All across the field, the clash of powers rocked the very stones.
👑 Queens on the Battlefield
Queens Sarah and Michelle descended from the ramparts, no longer content to command from afar.
Michelle, wielding a great hammer etched with moonlight runes, smashed her way through a battalion of ogres.
Sarah rode a white warhorse, hurling blades conjured of wind and love, cutting down demons in the name of her lost sister, Maeve.
Their armour shone even as it was bloodied — a symbol of unbreakable defiance.
💀 The Cost of Victory
As the battle reached its crescendo, The Vraemorr charged, swatting aside men like insects. Salty leapt atop the fallen ogre’s shoulders, springboarded into the sky — and landed directly on the beast’s back.
With a primal yell, he drove Widowfang between its shoulders, into the glowing runes that powered it. Explosions rocked from within.
It howled.
It fell.
Dead.
The battlefield paused, stunned, as the demon mountain crumbled to dust.
✊ But It’s Not Over… Yet
Even as the armies of men surged forward, the skies cracked open again. The remaining Chios screamed to the heavens.
“They’ve summoned something else…” whispered Michelle, clutching Salty’s arm.
He stared up at the forming vortex.
“Then we fight. Until the end.”
