Tanzin's task as her "General" was a simple one; he was almost bribed into the fact that he would gain an army if he joined her, and so, the simple task was to bring a village under the boarders of Lucy's Fort, which was now named: "Den Of Shadows."
He was told to head south from the Den, and, he would meet with his private task force to influence the villagers there to join her reign. Tanzin had his orders, if they resisted. Punish them untill they gave in...
The village itself was situated in the trees, no defenses, they had not the money to even do that, but it was indeed a large village, and was verging onto a town. It was nameless, to everyone, but to them it was otherwise known as "Souan" the southern village.
The sun was high and the wind was silent, there was not a cloud in the sky, and where was this army she promised Tanzin amongst these tall oak trees? No where to be seen, yet.
The village upahead, along a small and damaged dirt path... A single woman walked down towards it... She hummed gently, looking up at the clear blue sky of the day, looking content, thinking that all would be well... But, that would soon change for her.
A snarl... From the bushes froze her up, and then as she moved closer to inspect the noise, thinking it to be a mere dog... A shadow hand, sucked her into the bush... Her cries no more than a second, as then the sickening crunch of the woman's skull rang out and died. Something sounded like it were feasting... And waiting, for their new Master.

The demons mummbled amongst themselves as they stepped from the bushes... And what were they? Humans. Men, women, and even children. They all looked different, all ten of them. But they did have the same key features, despite their size and gender...
Their human arms, are shadow arms, half of thier face, skeletal, rotten, some more than another, their chest seemed swollen and gangrenous, smelling a foul stench... Their teeth was probably the most horrific, like Renna's when she was in Demon form, were spiney, all over the place in their mouth, and drooling that familiar black bile which Renna seems to keep all over her body.
They stopped behind Tanzin, snarling amongst themselves, as if they were conversing in a different carnal language.
One man stepped forward, his jaw parting, "Are you our Master? A mere human?" The man's voice was raspry, almost death-like, he himself was a fat old thing, he looked barely able to move himself as well as he did.
The edge of town, people glanced at them, from their every day life. Some kids pointed at Tanzin, some at the Demons... A few women grabbed their children and ran away as the men seemed to be picking up their farming tools wearily, one or two having the knowledge of war to pick up their old armour and swords... These people looked civilized, but they did indeed seem to have a more, barbaric nature. No one approached the party yet, but they seemed to be prepairing for the worst, word of a strange building up north being built had shaken their nerves.

The rest of the nine Demons stepped back from Tanzin, they snarled at him as the fattest of them all was cut into half... He made a squeel as one half of him squirmd on the floor, while his legs twitched and tensed, now seperated from the rest of his body...
Silence past as Tanzin's words rung out, the Demons looking amongst themselves - and then laughs insanely, they went up to their fallen comrade and kicked the squirming Demon, before rushing off into the town, calling out the order to gather up at Tanzin's demand.
They all stayed together as they kicked over stalls of fruit, gripping the odd woman here or there and shoving them to the ground, doing the usual lacky-type violence, the people were less than willing reluctantly of course... They were shoved in a crowd, and not only this the men were in the front line with their various make-shift weapons and the like. All the men lookd skeptical, looking ready to pounce - but out of fear not even bothering to just yet.
The demons snarled their way back to Tanzin's side, two children of which were daemonic were on their hands knees, like dogs, snarling at the men which were THAT too close to them.
"C-can we kill them?!" One squeeled.
"Look at 'er pretty face!" Another male demon went forward, his tongue licking around his lips as he looked to a rather teenaged looking girl, "Come to me - I won't hurt ya's!"
"Only eat you!" One of the children screeched, and in unison, they all laughed, looking to Tanzin, with their twisted spiney smirks.

One of the human men - an old lookin man stepped forward a little, he called out: "What do you want with us? We don't want to fight..."

That demand caused a mutter and gasp among the masses... For a moment the older one turned back to the people and talked amongst them silently. Their accumlative talks became hushed as a random man stepped out, a warrior obviously by nature he pointed his short sword at Tanzin, "Why should we?! There is but ten of you and one hundred of us! You would not stand a chance!"
A woman gripped his arm, a child in the other crying. "Darlin' don't provoke them..."
"No he's right!" Another man stepepd forward now, a very tall man, a man capable of using a normal sized man as a javalin and to throw him a good few miles. "Why should we fear this Betrayer when this persons sends you lot!"
More 'Yeahs,' and the talks amongst them rose to roars as a few of them stepped forward, but the old man again hushed them. And from his lips, came: "No, we have been a free community for almost a hundred years, we cannot submit to you Mistress..."

The demons, now behind Tanzin on the other hand smirked wickedly, snarling amongst themselves and chuckling at the peasent's words.
"We... should kill'em Master!" One of the children rolled on the floor, now jumping up back to his feet, his shadow arms bending like snakes, the hands snapping like claws.

But that was enough to provoke the big man carrying his rather large pickaxe to growl: "You and what army?!?!?" He moved forward ready to bring the weapon towards Tanzin, but some of the townsfolk prevented him, holding onto his arms and legs.

The demon's jaw cracked against Tanzin's foot, and as he moved his shadowy arms to his jaw, the spiney just hung thee broken now from the rest of his face. The rest of the demons chuckled darkly at this, but then simply frowns and hissed at Tanzin's words.
"That's borin'! What 'bout us!"
"Yeah!"
The child with dislocated jaw simply made a grunting noise in agreement... But they all lowly sat down, mostly together like some wild pack of wolves, punching, and nipping at themselves, waiting to be used.

Meanwhile the town folk went into an uproar of talk once more - the biggest man stepping forward, along with two skinny rather pathetic looking men by his side holding pitchfolks, another two - twins infact holding badly rusted swords - one of them even holding a half broken sword, not looking like some rusty jagged dagger.
"We accept your terms..." The big man said, his voice booming athunder, the old man looked to retort but he simply nodded closing his eyes.
Grins past the men's lips and they stopped forward, looking ready to pounce forward, but that was short lived quickly and suddenly, the twins rather forth, the skinny men following reluctantly and the big man...

The twins with their badly-conditioned attempted to swip at the man's neck, the two skinny men attempting to jab his legs, while the big man had yet to strike.

All four of the men jumped towards him simutainiously towards the attack like complete and utter idiots, they were all hit! Two completely cut in half, one having his guts to fall out about him like as if his balls had dropped, while another, only wounded took the tip of his blade into his chest, and sent him crying to the floor like a baby, writhing from pain...This got the demons attentions as they moved towards the now dying bodies licking their lips...

While the biggest of the lot stood there moving to the one man whom was injured, and not fatally wounded, he knelt there looking up at the man with such strong skill...
"You Monster..." He growled, rising his large pickaxe like weapon to swipe sideways towards his gut, the long curved point moving straight towards his side at breakneck speeds, the man was strong, and hauling the weapon around as if it were made of feathers. Really sharp feathers...

Actually the man's intense swing sent him to swing around to face his back at Tanzin, half expecting to hit the man, but he simply dodged it by jumping back, and as Tanzin did his attack, the man felt, and saw nothing but him standing quite abit far away... He heard his words and he was too move, his upper half peeled away from his legs, the gush of blood spurting back over the faces of the demons which now, went into a crazy, they dodged forward to tare at the bodies, their gnarled and spine yteeth chewing away at what flesh they had, limbs being pulled, the sound of bones snapping and grunching, even the man's cry of whom was injured as they chewed away at his stomach.

The crowd gasped, some cries of the wives of the men whom fell, the old man on his knees now, stareing wide eyed at the swordsman... They feared him now, and men dropped their weapons, moving to hold members of their family close... But one woman got away from the crowd, she ran at Tanzin in blind rage, crying her tears at her now eaten husband - the big man that was apparently the strongest.
"You beast! You monster!" Her feeble hands stuck at his chest and face, she just repeated those words, crying and falling to her knees before him.
The crowd just fell to their knees along withe the girl, the old man standing now great difficulty.
"...We will join your Lady's Kingdom..." The old man had uttered in a whisper.
