A Demon

The man was visibly shocked by what he had just seen on the kid's arms, for a few seconds he felt like his whole world was going to crumble. The man's name was Akhim. Akhim was originally part of a bandit group.

The spot they had chosen was the path between this town and Avrion. In the past, the Bandit group was unsuccessful in their work due to the fact that Knights of Avrion regularly patrolled and protected the route but that had changed recently after the constant attacks from the Shadow plague and Dark guild.

Suddenly, the bandit's business was looking good for Akhim and his group once more but that quickly changed after the news of the fall of Avrion.

When everyone had learned that the Knights of Avrion were no more, Bandit groups from all over chose the same path that his Group had been on for years.
