Karas looked upon the village before then turned to his companions, servants of Maeda. “No one survives” he commanded as he drew his blade. “Go and serve our lord Maeda proudly, this village will be cleansed,” dressed in black and crimson armor he was death personified. His horned helm tucked in his arm and long black hair draped at his shoulders, his eyes where a clear blue like a calm ocean. Karas put his helm on, he was demonic looking figure in the moonlight one of pure terror. Karas and his men descended on the village like a pack of wolves onto an injured elk.

    The cleansing did not take long no one could fight back against them. A few hundred dead at his feet All for the glory of Lord Maeda he thought to himself as he closed his eyes in a silent prayer. The warriors gathered by a campfire,”Tonight was glorious” Karas addressed to his men. “Lord Maeda will be pleased, from here on out we will carry on cleansing the world for his return.” Karas made his way directly in front of the campfire and pulled out a small wine skin ”This is lord Maeda’s blood. His will is our will. Our blades are his blades.” Karas uncorked the wine skin “Tonight you will witness his glory.”

        He began to pour the blood of Maeda onto the blazing fire, once the one wine skin was emptied he closed it. After a few moments the fire danced wildly and went out, then rose a violent black flame. A light hiss echoed softly, Karas drew his sword and place it into the fire and knelt. “Lord Maeda speak to your humble servant and show you followers your will” he prayed softly. The hiss grew louder and the flames grew more intense, a figure dressed in thick silk white robes of emerged form the dark flames. The warriors rose and knelt in front of the figure. “Good my children,” the mysterious figure said “Rise now, Lord Maeda will be pleased.”

The warriors rose to their feet “Karas has selected great warriors for to do Lord Maeda’s will,”

“Thank you milord.” “I am Sinthe a conduit for Lord Maeda's will,”Sinthe turned and reached into flames and pulled out Karas’ sword. “Going forward, you all will take orders from me,” he stated as he stuck Karas’ blade into the dirt. "Now my children the next step of the process is crucial."  Sinthe took a few steps forward "Lord Maeda's resurrection depends on this."

     "We will descend onwards the capital. Our allies are already there," he continued "The most important thing is we need the king's blood."
