"Monwraithe" I heard Aellarith gasp in shock while looking towards the now open door as a mist of dark sinister shadows floated into the room...
I looked towards the destroyed doorway in shock but my eyes could make nothing out.... everything was covered in a mist of shadows and darkness until...
Two razor sharp glowing red eyes appeared in the pitch black hall.
A shiver of fear ran down my spine.
I could feel a powerful evil magic permeating from the doorway along with the familiar scent of death...
the stench of fresh blood filled my nose and instantly I was taken out of my blissful state, I felt as if I had returned to the massacres and torturing which dotted my time in the war.
Before I could even speak a terrible banshee screech blasted out from the doorway.
"!!!!!WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY INNOCENT LITTLE AELLARITH!!!!"
I heard the screech and simultaneously a pulse of dark sinister magic shot forth from the dark eerie doorway directly towards my chest.
Aellarith who still laid beside me raised her palm almost instantly, a wave of golden light shined brightly in front of us.
The sinister magical burst clashed violently against the Golden Godess's magic shield.
The shield of light glowed brightly before thrumming with power and reflecting the magic back towards the dark doorway where the sinister glowing eyes still lurked.
*BOOM
An impact was clearly made as the creature was blasted by it's own magic, I could not see the effects but a loud crashing sound told me of it's effectiveness.
To my surprise, instead of continuing with an offensive magic blast of her own Aellarith shouted into the darkness.
"Monwraithe Calm Down!!!" Aellarith screamed out hurriedly but got no response for a long moment until two glowing blood red eyes appeared far in the depths of the hallway where the sinister creature was launched.
Instead of getting words yet another screech was heard.
"ARGHHHHHH!!!!!"
The maniacal screech made the air vibrate violently at the sheer amount of anger.
"Oh No she's in a rage again...." Aellarith spoke in a panic as the horrid demonic screeching only intensified.
The evil being rushed towards us from the depths of the dark hallway, it's sinister red eyes drew closer and with every passing moment and i felt a sense of dread as to what would come next.
My Blonde Goddess extended her dainty white hands forward once again and began chanting loudly as a shimmering golden flow appeared before.
In the Golden glow, the shape of so many strange Aelven runes was clearly visible as they shifted and locked together.
Immediately whatever vile beast was in the darkness clashed against the Golden shield, it's wicked claws left five corrupted gashes on its surface.
But without respite the creature attacked again.
*SLASH
*SLASH
*SLASH
Each strike of it's vicious claws sent sparks of white magical plasma spitting into the dark hallway.
But even the shimmering magical plasma did little to illuminate the enraged monster just outside as it's hatred seemed to suck the light from the world around it.
Aellarith turned to me and spoke.
"Husband you have to go now! I can't hold her off you forever unless i kill her!" Aellarith yelled in a panic as the screeching and clawing from the red eyed creature increased evermore.
I didn't want to leave my new bride, but what could I do, I had no magic, no rifle, and no clothes...against such a beast I'd be ripped to shreds.
Next I saw Aella grab the vibrant green pendant which hung around her soft white neck.
Her plump pink lips moved slightly and booming yet unintelligible words of power poured forth once again.
The room began to tremble and creak as the green pendant flew out of her hands and smashed into a nearby wall.
A strange green portal appeared from nowhere and I understood it would take me where I needed to go.
All the while the horrific screeching only grew Louder and more violent as wicked claws ripped and tore at the Golden barrier.
"HUSBAND YOU MUST GO IN QUICKLY, BUT FIRST TAKE THIS!!!" Aellarith spoke with urgency before she clasped her hands together and mumbled something which I could not hear....
For only a moment her hands glowed in the same ever familiar golden hue before returning to normal.
The my beautiful wife opened her little hands to reveal a rolled parchment with a golden seal.
Immediately she placed it in my hand and leaned forward to speak one last time.
"I will handle Monwraithe here!...Go to the temple in the Aen Carnith Valley, We will talk then My Love..." She spoke before leaning forward to plant one final kiss upon my lips.
Her sweet little tongue danced around in my mouth passionately as all time seemed to stop around us just so we could enjoy our parting kiss.
Just as our lips separated the vibrant golden shield which had withstood so many enraged slashes finally shattered into fragments of golden light before disappearing into thin air.
I felt my body shoved by an immense strength and the world seemed to shrink around me as I flew into the vibrant green portal with rolled parchment in hand.
Just as I flew inside, the maniacally screeching creature burst through the dark doorway and finally into the light where I could see it.
But to my surprise It wasn't a creature, but a stunningly beautiful woman no lesser than Aellarith.
Her giant juicy tits and thick pale thighs were only contrasted by the animalistic rage, Hooked draconic horns sitting just above her enthrallingly beautiful face, and gray leathery wings which emerged from its back just above the wide birthing hips and fat ass...
Monwraithe's beautiful hands were reminiscent of Aellarith save for the long vicious claws at its finger tips.
The enraged demoness locked eyes with mine for only a split second before lunging forward with claws extended.
The slutty looking demon moved at such a speed that before I was fully through the green portal it's claws were already inches from my face.
I was sure death was eminent as the wicked claws of the big titted woman made their way towards me.
Only for them to be stopped by a stream of golden magic at the last moment as Aellarith pulled the angered demon back just in time.
Then everything went black, my consciousness completely gone as I entered the portal fully.

[Dream Sequence One, Early August, 1991]
A battered BMP 1 followed by two green GAZ trucks filled with heavily armed infantry lurched steadily along a winding dirt trail only just wide enough for one vehicle.
Riding atop the lead BMP were four men armed with ak47's, among them was one which stood out
This soldier was much smaller than the rest, he was being spoken to by an older man with a graying beard.
The loud rumbling engine of the BMP blared in their ears as both of them talked.
"Krv I need you to stay near me at all times no fucking debate..... everyone you see who doesn't have this patch is an enemy...do you understand." The older man spoke seriously while pointing at a distinct tiger patch on his sleeve.
"Y..Yes Uncle Siemnovich I'll do what you say." The smaller soldier answered, his voice immediately made it clear that this was no man, merely a boy.
"Good, take this bag... we'll need it after entering the village." The older soldier spoke firmly and placed a heavy satchel around Krv's neck, he instinctively knew what was inside...grenades.
Krv adjusted the heavy bag comfortably just before another man sitting to the other side cut in.
"Little Krv it's your first time in a fight but don't worry, you remember what I told you right?" A moustached young man spoke with a charming smile while pointing at the Ak in the young man's arms.
"Yes Tari, no shooting automatic, only single fire...aim carefully and then i squeeze the trigger...." The young soldier spoke while lifting his rifle and pointing it at the swiftly changing woodland as if pretending to aim at his enemies.
"Good, do you have a round in the chamber?" Tari asked.
"No, But I'll remember to load one when we jump off the BMP." Krv spoke and Tari patted his shoulder in agreement.
"Good, now get ready I scouted this area three days ago so I know that when we crest that specific hill the BMP will stop and begin firing frag rounds into the village, there are about two dozen soldiers stationed there from what I could tell....so get ready." Tari spoke while pointing at a slightly elevated section of road which was quickly approaching.
Krv felt his heart beating hard, almost as if it were about to burst from his chest, his palms were sweating and his hands trembling at the adrenaline rushing through his system.
Before long the BMP reached the crest of the trail and came to a complete stop, Krv could hear the whir of the turret adjusting as he jumped off the armored vehicle.
The rear doors of the BMP swung open and more men rushed out with excited shouts, while In the rear dozens of heavily armed men jumped out of the large rumbling GAZ trucks.
*BOOMx2
Before Krv could even rack a round into his Ak a concussive blast from the 100mm cannon of the BMP blasted a fragmentation round into a guard post at the edge of the village.
The double sound of firing and subsequent explosion told just how close they were.
Immediately the high pitched screams from a score of women and children was heard just before several Ak 47s began to spit flames and fury from both sides.
Krv finished racking his rifle and followed closely behind Siemnovich, Captain Ulagar and Tari as they maneuvered into the treeline just beside the trail.
Under the heavy covering fire from several Pkm's dozens of Arkanovci charged through the woodline which flanked the small road down into the town without an ounce of fear.
Then Krv's saw Siemnovich kneel behind a thick oak just as a a tree just beside him splintered from incoming enemy fire.
"Get into cover Krv!!! The bastard Behind that little wagon!!!" Siemnovich yelled through the cacophony of gunfire.
Immediately the young soldier raised his rifle and aimed towards a small wagon where a Croatian soldiers Ak blasted away in full auto in their direction.
Krv squeezed his trigger five times in the direction of the man.
*BANG
*BANG
*BANG
*BANG
*BANG
the blast of his AK made Krv's eyes close involuntarily....Krv didn't even know if the man was down until Tari who was behind posted behind a nearby tree yelled out.
"WOOWOO!!! GOOD JOB LITTLE KRV!!! YOU BLEW HIS FUCKING HEAD TO BITS!!!" Tari yelled and Krv opened his eyes once more to look.
The Croatian man was now half slumped over the small wagon, his rifle still in hand but what shocked Krv was that his head was burst open like a watermelon and a violent spray of blood emerged.
*SWISH
*BOOOOOM
The BMP fired once more directly into a small building where a few Croatian dogs were firing and the frag shell struck perfectly.
In the chaos Krv ran to a nearby thick tree and breathed heavily, his heart was pounding but his hands no longer trembled....He'd gotten his first kill on an enemy and he thought the thrilling feeling was incredible, little did he know that was just his adrenaline.
"Krv, we're advancing!!!" Captain Ulagar spoke from nearby just as his worn underfoldimg Akm stopped it's deadly fire towards a now dead Croatian guardsman.
The squad started walking forward and sporadically firing but seemingly at nothing, it seemed most of the soldiers had been wiped out by now by the torrent of Serbian small arms fire or the destructive 100mm shells.
Before long Krv reached the edge of the village and saw something he'd never forget.
Swaths of corpses laying strewn everywhere, both soldiers and civilians ripped to shreds.
Women and children blown to bits by BMP frag, Soldiers gurgling blood while looking up at the advancing men.
A German shepard with a round through its back whined loudly just beside a dead Croatian soldier which had taken more than a dozen rounds of PKM fire, his chest and hips looked like ground beef through his tattered clothing.
"Don't worry about them, save your ammunition." Siemnovich spoke and their squad walked past them and towards the first small cottage, reminiscent of Krv's own home.
Tari Broke one of the windows with his buttstock before pointing at Krv.
"Go on boy toss one in and run back." The young man spoke with his usually charming smile.
The heavy bag of F1 frag grenades around Krv's shoulder became slightly lighter as the boy pulled one out and rushed over to the broken window.
With a squeeze and pull the pin was out before Krv lobbed the grenade into the small home.
*Fisssss
The timing fuse of the grenade fizzled away for a few seconds before a low boom was heard.
all the windows In the small cottage were blown off due to overpressure.
Krv stared in amazement for only a moment before someone called out to him.
"Little Krv now is when you switch to full auto!" Tari spoke aloud with a wicked smile.
Siemnovich walked to the red cottage door and kicked hard.
*CRASH
Immediately the door flew off it's hinges and crashed against a wooden table before Tari rushed inside followed by Krv.
Immediately Krv saw a man laying on the ground with an ak in hand and immediately opened fire.
*Bang
*Bang
*Bang
*Bang
Three of the four bullets found their mark but it was unnecessary, the man had already been dead from the grenade blast.
"Hold fire Krv he's already dead, all of you spread out and look for the cellar!" Captain Ulagar yelled as he rushed to one small room and burst the door open followed by Siemnovich.
Before too long the squad heard Tari yell out. "Found It!" And the three others converged on his position.
The cellar door was a large square hatch In the floorboards, Krv noticed a nearby carpet thrown aside...a poor attempt at concealment.
"Krv get ready." Captain Ulagar barked, the young Krv reached into the bag of grenades once more.
When the captain saw that Krv was ready he motioned to Tari who pulled hard on the latch.
It flung open and immediately Krv tossed another fizzing grenade inside without thinking.
Several high pitched screams were heard before a loud *BANG made them quiet as a blast of pressure was felt by the men above.
"Boy Toss another." The Captain ordered and Krv reached into the bag once more but this time his hands fumbled....
'those were women's screams' Krv thought to himself while fumbling for another grenade but he didn't want to let his comrades down.
Before long another Fizzing grenade was heard clattering it's way down into the basement before the same low *BOOM was heard once more....this time there were no screams.
The four men stood at the cellars entrance for a long moment while awaiting their Captains orders.
"Krv and Tari clear it out." The Captain spoke and Tari nodded before patting Krv's shoulder.
"Let's go little Krv don't let me down." The charming man spoke before moving down towards the first step.
Krv followed closely behind with his heavy rifle ready for what would come next.
The descent into the dark cold cellar was eerie, no sounds except for both mens heavy footsteps, and sporadic but distant sounds of rifle and machinegun fire as the rest of the village was wiped clean.
As both soldiers nearly reached the bottom a horrifying sound was heard...the gurgling of blood from whichever unlucky bastard was hiding down here.
Then Tari stopped and shuddered for a long moment before his flashlight panned across the dingy cellar.
Two women and one young man, around Krv's age were sprawled out on the ground, gore and blood everywhere with the thick scent of death lingering in the air.
"Dear God...." Krv mumbled under his black balaclava as his hands trembled and stomach turned upon looking at the dead women.
"Do not feel sorry for them little Krv....Look." Tari spoke while pointing to a spot next to the still gurgling young man.
Krv turned his focus from the dead women to where Tari was pointing....A Tokarev pistol drenched in blood lay there only a few inches from the still gurgling young man.
"He would've used it on us without a second thought....you did good.....now go put him out of his misery and take his pistol, it's yours now." Tari spoke softly and the boy in the balaclava nodded before walking forward and pointing his rifle at the dying young man about his own age.
"No....use your knife, you'll go deaf if you shoot that in here." Tari spoke.
The young Krv nodded and let his rifle hang on its sling as he pulled out the bayonet which was slung at his waist.
The shimmering steel blade slowly made its way closer and closer to the gurgling youth... if one heard closely the faint murmuring of Krv could be heard.
"I'm sorry, God forgive me...."
As the blade made its way deep into the young mans chest.
Before too long Krv stood up and turned to the bloody Tokarev pistol nearby, it's polished nickel finish now dripping in fresh blood.
The young boy in his balaclava extended his hand towards his first prize of the war.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the pistol. . .

[MC Pov]
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
I yelled out in a panic as my eyes burst open, immediately I reached to my side for my pistol or rifle but grasped only air.
I noticed I was in a tent of sorts...only this one wasn't made of the Waxed canvas I was so used to, instead it was made of thick animal hides.
None of my usual possessions could be found except for a small White scroll with a golden wax seal....
