THE TALES OF HOUSE ON FLAMES
2024 EDITION

⭐⭐⭐A dark and gloomy night. One of those evenings when all light appeared to vanish, as if an unseen force was snuffing out the world's brightness. Screams filled the air as arrows flew through the darkness and massive figures attacked a little settlement. Terrified locals fled in all directions, leaving behind a trail of fog as homes burned down. A mother raced, clutching her young baby securely in her arms and her husband by her side. They attempted to leave the strange creatures that had assaulted their house, but every time they turned, a new horror arrived. The guy led them into a little dark passageway between two wooden cottages, away from the town center. Following them, huge red-skinned animals that resembled larger people swung clubs with metal spikes jutting out of them at everyone who got in their way. Their biceps bulged as if about to rend their skin, and their teeth appeared disfigured. A roar rang ahead of the pair, and a creature like a twisted human and a bear moved in front of them, blocking the alley exit. The beast was almost nine feet tall and had massive paws with extended claws where its hands and feet should be. They joined limbs and legs that were part human and half bear. Scattered areas of thick brown and gray hair covered the entire body.resulting in a grotesquely stretched face. It's as if a human face was dragged forward and replaced with a bear's mouth. Its eyes seemed human, yet they were pure green and shone in the dark. The beast lunged toward the pair, letting out a guttural howl. The guy pulled his wife back towards the town center and assaulted the beast, trying anything he could to divert its attention away from his wife and kid. He let out a heart-wrenching yell, knowing it was the final thing he would ever do. The lady turned to flee just as the bear-like beast tore into her husband, rushing back to the mayhem from which she had just left behind. She dashed toward the broad clearing of the town center. Bodies littered the ground, and the stench of burning flesh, copper, and ash permeated the air. A long, thin beast leaped down from a building's roof in front of the woman, clutching a long bow in one hand and a bunch of arrows in the other. The beast's limbs and legs were very lengthy, almost insect-like. Its eyes flashed brilliant yellow as it looked at the mom and the baby. It hissed and quickly pulled an arrow, aiming directly at the terrified lady. The beast unleashed the arrow, but just before it hit the woman, a sword came down upon her.Swatting the arrow out of the air. The woman glanced up to see a huge man brandishing two massive blades about a foot wide. His huge brown eyes were studded with scarlet veins. He stopped for a second, checking on the woman to ensure she was okay, before blurring into action, rushing the monsters and drawing their attention. A second lady arrived on the roof to her left. She wielded a bow and fired arrows left and right at the creatures. A leopard dashed into the area, digging into the leg of one of the red-colored creatures, while a silver-haired woman wearing a green cloak slashed and danced her way between the animals. A stab to the chest completed the leopard's attack on the crimson monster. The mother stood still, crying and cradling her screaming infant as she watched the newcomers fight off the twisted animals. The Iladuma Order had arrived precisely on schedule.⭐⭐⭐
