"The latest shipment is a little late isn't it?" A man asked while swirling some wine in his glass.

"There has been an unexpected delay but don't worry the shipment will arrive without any problems." A woman bowed before walking out of the room.

"Lila, explain." She said, closing the door behind her.

"We haven't been able to get into contact with any of them. Some of their life fires have also been extinguished. We can assume that they ran into some trouble." The girl named Lila replied while following behind the woman.

"Tsk, right in our territory too. Did another Queen or worker for the gods interfere?" The woman asked but Lila shook her head.

"Hmm… Troublesome. Alright, I'll go get an audience with the god. Go keep an eye out on the walls, make sure everything is running smoothly."

Nodding her head, Lila bowed before making her way out of the castle.

With Lila now gone, the woman teleported to her chambers that now had a totem in the middle of her room.

Groveling before the totem, the woman bit her lip and took a deep breath.

"I apologise, the shipment has been delayed. Our workers have run into some danger. A few of them have lost their lives." After saying this, she stayed silent.

There was a strange hum in the room, as though wind was passing through several holes. The fires flickered and a strange energy gripped her mind.

The totem in front of her started to shake as the eyes lit up with a flame.

"Kill the one who caused this. Tear their skin off their body, their flesh off their bones and present them to me. Then all will be forgiven." A voice echoed as the woman shuddered before nodding her head.

"If the person was able to kill the carriers, they may prove to be an annoyance to deal with. May I have some power to deal with the problem?" The woman asked as the eyes started to flicker violently.

There was a long pause before the flickering died down.

"Very well. I suppose you do deserve some power."

Suddenly, screams erupted out from the totem as hallowed spirits grabbed the woman before plunging into her body.

Gritting her teeth, the woman accepted their tampering before bowing one last time and left the room respectfully without turning her back.

Only when the door closed did she sigh in relief and collapsed on the floor.

'Fucking gods…' She cursed in her mind before standing up.

She knew that the god could hear her thoughts but it derived enjoyment from bending her to his will. Even though she was defiant, there was nothing she could do.

Gritting her teeth in anger, she stormed towards the inner sanctum where they trained the warriors.

However, before she could, she could feel Lila's energy tugging for her attention.

Walking towards the walls, the woman could see a faint shadow in the distance.

"You wanted my attention?" The woman asked as Lila nodded her head.

"We've tried to warn that person but they haven't stopped nor did they reply. What should we do with her?" Lila asked as the woman thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

"We're already at capacity, if she's not heeding the warnings then just kill her, it's a mercy." Nodding her head, Lila signalled the mages and archers that were stationed on the wall.

One of the mages activated a spell circle while the archers pulled back their bows and fired towards the figure in the distance. Watching the arrows fly through the spell circles to become empowered, the woman decided to walk away.

Hearing an explosion in the distance, she figured that the job was done.

However, hearing some confused muttering, the woman decided to turn back and see what was the problem.

Suddenly, the dust cleared as she could now see the figure clearly.

Her white hair fluttered in the dust, there was no smile on her face. Sword and gun in hand, the woman recognised who it was.

"Oh…. Fuck…." She muttered as she realised what they've just done.

Seeing the killing intent that she was now radiating, she knew that they were going to have to fight for their survival.

"Call everyone to battle stations, if we don't kill her we're all going to die."

Hearing this, everyone on the wall was shocked as they didn't think their Queen would declare something like this.
