I think Middle Eastern men are the hottest in the world. and there is nothing I like to be more than a slutty gurl for a Real Man. This is such a hot hot story. Hope there is more.

Dad transformation is soooo hot.

Great story! I'm so hard just stroking my leaky dong to this.

@Pcm Oh definetly this was a tough decision for Collin. One of his strengths is his compassion and idealism, but I think between not wanting his family to die so he can cure them, residual mind control from his family members, and panic- he made a massive mistake. I don't see this as him intentionally making that choice- though I think the chapter makes this clear as well. Gregory I think would have come back to tempt no matter if Collin was safe or not. But, I think he would have had a tougher time. Half of the reason things fell apart so quickly was because on top of the problems eastern culture caused its knights, the grief over Collin was a double whammy. It would still be a problem, as gregory has been tailor made to convert easterners, but I think William and the others might have been able to resist some more. Or maybe not. I can't figure out who exactly the necromancer is yet, but clearly they were somebody old and powerful. Or somebody is doing an impersonation and we've met them already. Regardless, they seem dangerous. Eleven being her own person seems a testament to the fact that the north already pulled through a situation just like the one the east is facing now (instead of the demons it was the destructor) so they have their wits about them. I just hope she survives unscathed, since shes catatonic. Collins demon name is already ringing all kinds of alarm bells to me because a state of being forlorn is a state of no hope. It's a inverse of what he is- and if he winds up becoming that all hell will break loose. That Leon managed to actually integrate knightly principles is surprising, but makes a sort of sense. However, I think I have to agree with eleven- Collin is too optimistic and it's cost him- they are too far gone. The demon that turned gregory I think is the scariest thing yet. This figure may have a shot at turning Collin, and while I hope that doesn't happen (or that he does something horrid to Eddie and jason), it could be so. That you mentioned we will see the demons in more detail in their motivations is fascinating as it is terrifying. The west is utterly screwed now. They were riding on a high thinking they'd only be able to have eastern human fighters as opponents and continue poaching disenfranchised folk from the borders. But with the demons coming out of concealment and having co opted most of the main military forces, there's literally nothing stopping them from taking over the whole of the country. The demons also have no desire to respect the other gods of the land and their territory- they will try to take it all. The beastfolk have no intelligence on their enemy and little strategy. In the end, the primal beast doomed himself. Everybody in this story acted realistically considering their circumstances, and that's what makes this so tragic. The east is likely doomed to become a demonic kingdom for further incursions into the other nations, and the west is about to have a nasty end to the ascendancy they had for the past fifty years. I do think personally that while gil didn't want to kill the grandmaster, he also had to defend his people (and might have been euphoric over being a beast). Seeing this go so wrong so fast and potentially indirectly due to some of his actions (because I think the primal beast will eventually put things together), will probably be a bitter pill to swallow. The north is likely going to hunker down and play defense. It's strange to think that henrich not wanting to die fifty years ago to be with his sons has laid the road for a demon apocalypse. How things spiral....I think in the end, this story will be a tragedy in many ways, and hopeful in others (the exposing of the cultural issues surrounding the east for one). I hope Collin and Eddie will be able to escape as themselves- but something tells me either only one of them will, or they will be demonized. And the west meanwhile, will have no way to handle the fallout of that, save cursing themselves for being too arrogant. The demon that turned gregory likely has his own designs, and I can't imagine any of them being good. That Collin got a vision of him changing was frightening, and him seeing how his father broke must have been horrifying, as well as his loved ones.

This is my favorite chapter. So hot.

Please, sir, I want some more.

I live to serve the virus

I too remember this one, and oh yeah, it's a good one :-D I look forward to being taken on the ride all over again, and am excited that you're getting to rediscover it for yourself as well!

Fantastic story. 100 pages of RP, must have been loads of fun. So weird our stories are published on the same day, both using the same Disney mind controller on a 19 year old. The Jungle Book, the original, came out a few months after I was born. I was fascinated by Kaa my whole life.

👍👍👍👍. good story. Well written.
