[The Host]

 Fortress Metawar loomed out into the sky, casting a shadow to fall over the land below. Metawar, Axerion's castle, was the largest fortress the deamons had ever seen, and probably the largest ever. Made of smooth brown-gray stones, with blood-red tint added on in a unique pattern, the fortress itself was about seven hundred thousand feet around, nine thousand feet from floor to point of the cieling, and contained many rooms and an inner core palace. It had taken many deamons lives and three whole years to create, but Metawar was complete.
 Surrounding the fortress, three towers had been erected six thousand feet up, each one surving a purpose- according to the king- although what the purpose of the towers was was still a mistery.
 
 Crioone landed softly upon the top of the unguarded second tower, followed by her companions, Nara and Taverna. The three deamons hated the king and his warlords more than anything in the deamon world, although the world they knew had not had much to hate overall. Nara was the first to speak.
 "So why'd you bring us here Taverna?" she asked, questioning her long time friend with a laughable smile.
 The emerald coloured deamon turned to face Nara, his eyes closed. His wings spread out completely, dropping a small map onto the roof of the tower.
 "This map... it's a detailed route to take inside Metawar. It leads to something, although it could be a trap. Three days ago, you, Crioone, mentioned the Attalna. I didn't want to fight one or more, but my mind slipped, and after completely destroying it, I found the map inside the thing's body..." Taverna stopped, letting the thought slip into his friends' minds.
 Crioone looked at Taverna after a minute of thinking his words over, then said to him:
 "So... when are we gonna go check it out?" Nara turned to face Crioone, a look of shock on her face.
 "You guys are gonna walk right into a trap!?" Nara asked, the shock turning into confusion and then back to shock. Taverna nodded, followed by a nod from Crioone. Nara looked back and forth, then shook her head.
 "You guys are crazy!" She said, but then looked at them seriously, then nodded her head. "I'm coming too."
