As Rowan, Josh and Ajatar arrived at the southern part of the kingdom, they found themselves faced with a group of guards hot on their trail. With no time to waste, they engaged in a fierce battle, using their combined strength and skills to fend off their attackers. Swords clashed, arrows whizzed through the air, and magic spells were casted.Rowan's mischievous nature shone through even in the midst of battle. As he dodged a sword swing, he tripped one of the guards, causing him to stumble and crash into his comrades like dominoes. "Oops, my bad!" Rowan called out with a playful grin.Josh's wings spread wide as he soared above the battlefield, unleashing bursts of beams towards the guards. His presence alone struck fear into their hearts, causing some to retreat and others to fight even harder. He fought with a determination fueled by his desire to escape and find safety. His wings occasionally sprouted from his back, giving him an advantage in maneuvering around his opponents. Wit

"How did they get these abilities?" Ajatar asked as she kicked away one of the transformed people."I don't know, but we have to find a way out of here," Rowan replied as he swung his sword at another transformed person. " They will keep coming." He added.Josh looked at Rowan and said, "I agree. Let's get in the car and head to Las Vegas as planned." With that, they quickly got into the car and began their journey to Los Angeles?The Demons lunged at their vehicle, trying to stop it and break in, but they were knocked down and trampled upon."That was intense," Josh said as he drove through the deserted streets of New York City."Definitely," Rowan agreed. "But we need to stay alert. We don't know what's waiting for us in Las Vegas."Ajatar was silent and suddenly spoke. " Wait, are you the one who will drive us to LA?" She asked Josh." Yeah, why not? Are you suddenly scared? The great Ajatar is scared?" Josh teased, however he couldn't tease anymore when he felt a dagger behind hi

The group of guards stood on the watchtower, looking out for any sign of transformed people to gun them down before they spread the disease. Suddenly, they saw three pregnant women approaching. The guards looked at each other, thinking about how weird the situation was. As the women got closer, they grew uglier and uglier. When the three women got close enough to the gates, the guards asked them to halt and asked what was their mission. One of the youngest women stepped in front and replied that they needed a place to stay and safely give birth. The guard asked if they were infected and she refuted. The guard asked why the woman's voice sounded strange. And she said she had a cough. The guard asked them to wait. As they waited, a small part of the gate opened, and a guard came out with a cross, then he pointed it in front of each and everyone of them. He concluded that the women were not infected as they didn't react to the cross. He asked them to go in. As the woman walked toward

" That's one of your setbacks, Josh." Ajatar interrupted Josh. " You don't believe in yourself. You can hardly make up your mind. You feel like you are not good enough." She added." Am I?..." Josh asked.Ajatar never replied, she just leaned in and kissed Josh.Josh's eyes widened. " Woah!" He exclaimed. " I know it is not your first kiss, but I hope I did great." Ajatar asked." Yeah sure, that felt great." Josh commented, looking down, scared of making eye contact." I know you must miss her." Ajatar stated.Josh sighed, " yeah I do miss her, and am sure she misses me too." He lamented.The two parties were silent for a while before Josh broke the silence. " You know, I had always thought you hated me." He said.Ajatar sighed, " I must admit that at first, I hated you, but I didn't hate you in particular, I hated all holy beings. I saw them as beings full of pride. But after living with you all this while, I saw humility for the first time in a holy being." She explained." Can I

As Rowan, Ajatar, and Josh stepped outside with the military commander, they were hit with a sight they never thought they'd see. The transformed people were now overtaking the streets and multiplying like a swarm of zombies. The soldiers on the ground kept firing their guns at them, but they just kept rising, relentless in their pursuit. "Damn it," the military captain muttered, "we need to evacuate everyone right away."Rowan knew he had to act quickly. He created a shadow wall between the demons and civilians, trying to hold them back as much as possible. He knew he couldn't hold it for long, but it was the only option he had at that moment. "Captain, focus on evacuating everyone," Rowan said, his voice urgent, "I'll hold them off for as long as I can."The captain nodded and immediately turned to his team, barking out orders to evacuate everyone as quickly and safely as possible. Rowan focused on maintaining the shadow wall, but he knew it wouldn't last forever. He could already
