The Nomad Chronicles

Raven and I are sitting on the park bench by the Koi pond, and tossing food to the fish. They swim up and seem to smile at us. Raven, I really want to share dreams again, on a routine basis, I smile at her.

Yeah, she says, me too.

I've been so sick, Raven.

I know. She hugs me.

Let's go somewhere, anywhere, just open a portal, Raven.

Okay, she smiles, opening a portal. We walk through. A portal opens in the sky above a great battle. There are an army of goblin-Templars chasing a small group of humans and elves across a plain into a forest. We fly down upon the Templars. I transform into a black dragon, and land in the middle of them, crushing some. I laugh and breathe violet flame on them. Raven transforms into Queen of Night and blasts the Templars with lightning savagely. The Templars flee like crazed ants.

I transform into my Demon Self, Deathgawn. I summon my astral pet, the mad wolf-boar-beast, Jo and we go hunting down the stragglers. Raven tends to the wounded.

We meet the humans and elves in the forest. They open a secret door in a tree which leads to an underground lair. They tell us they've been hiding here for eons, but rarely come out during the day, for the Templars hunt them like animals.
