Chapter 6 : A Warning Too Late

                                    

                                          
Eruditio, the city where the human mind is only limited by imagination. Within the Spire of Knowledge, the largest structure located in the center, Harith can be seen panicking.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, just calm down and rephrase everything again slowly..." A magenta haired girl carrying an arsenal of guns was trying to calm the Leonin down.
"Uuh, I'm no genius but I think he said something about Moniyan being taken over?" A teenage cyborg replied.
"Y-Yeah Moniyan's fallen, and there's this...this...demon? No, not just any demon...I...uh..." Harith was completely flustered.
"I'll get the tranquilizer." An elf carrying a big hammer spoke in a rather flat tone.
"Lolita, no." The magenta haired said. "Look, Harith right? Take a deep breath, and tell us everything from the beginning, slooowwllly, okay?" She continued.
Harith did exactly what she said, and despite still being rather anxious, he was able to start thinking clearly now.
"Okay, okay...it all started a week ago." The Leonin stated.
"We heard words that Castle Aberleen and Gorge were raided by demons, we thought that...it was just another futile attack but...they had someone that time."
"Someone?" The girl with guns asked.
"Yes...a demon...but not just any demon, like a really...horrendously powerful demon. I don't know who he is or where he came from, all I know is that he's the sole reason those two castles fell.
"Then, he continued to march to Lumina City."
The Leonin proceeds to explain the utter power that pale demon had. All attempts at damaging him resulted in nothing, while his strength alone was able to destroy gates with no efforts whatsoever.
The Lightborns had to retreat to Castle Grandlock, but not even a day later, they were attacked again by the same threat.
"Before Grandlock was taken over, I was ordered by my commander to warn Eruditio. I last saw him charge towards that monster...and right now...everyone could be..." Harith said as a drop of tear fell from his cheek.
The three before the Leonin did not know how to respond, their thoughts were mixed between pity and disbelief. They wanted to calm Harith down, but to think that THE Moniyan Empire was no longer standing, it's a lot to take in.
An entire empire of capable warriors, gone within a week, mostly because of one demon? It does strike quite the fear in everyone's heart.
Who exactly was this demon? Why is it that after all these years, he chose to appear now?
"Sorry, I don't usually...lose myself...like this." Harith apologized.
"Hey, no need to apologize, we've all been there." The cyborg said.
"Right...oh, and uh, what was your name again?" The leonin asked.
"I'm Beatrix, the elf's Lolita and the cyborg here is Bruno." The magenta haired said.
They were amongst Erudtio's finest defenders, loaded with state of the art technologies to help them battle any threat. Though the question is, can those technologies battle this threat?
"So you want us to help retake Moniyan? Why not others like Queen Aurora of the Northern Vale, or the elfs?" Bruno asked.
"We aren't exactly in great terms with Queen Aurora, and I believe that if the demons have already reached Grandlock, then they've probabbly reached the elven kingdom too." Harith answered.
"Of course...at this point, how in the name of all things sane can we save Moniyan?" Beatrix pondered.
"We'll think of something, right now let's just-" Lolita said right before her earpiece ringed.
